David and Victoria Beckham celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in July (Image: GETTY) David and Victoria Beckham have been open about the ups and downs in their marriage over the years, but according to author Tom Bower, their relationship was once so on the rocks, they lived separate lives and had minimal communcation. In his explosive new book The House Of Beckham, the author said the pair's marriage became "a distant business relationship" around eight years ago and claims their respective PR teams were "fed negative stories" about each other. Tom also claims that David Beckham even accused his wife and her publicist of "waging a media war" against him.
Despite these apparent challenges, the pair reportedly remained united for their brand, especially after surviving the turmoil caused by Rebecca Loos' alleged affair allegations. The couple briefly touched upon their hard times in David's self-titled Netflix documentary, in which Victoria told viewers: "Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other. But when we were in Spain, it didn't really feel like we had each other either.
"And that's sad. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare.
" According to Bower, serious rifts began to emerge in 2016 when the pair spent significant time apart, with David in Miami and Victoria in London. The strain was reportedly palpable during a particular London Fas.
