If you you like in the UK, Posh
& Becks are in the papers and tabloids and much as J-Lo
and Ben were here in the states. Maybe even more. The UK
tabloid readers often feast on stories about the couple
who are as famous as royalty in Britain. Posh is Victoria
Beckham, one fifth of the Spice Girls. Victoria was known
as Posh Spice. Becks or David Beckham is a world famous
soccer player. He used to be known for his wild hair styles.
The couple married in the late 90's and have two young sons,
Brooklyn and Romeo.

Becks used to play for Manchester
United, a popular British soccer team. Then last year he
left Manchester United to play for the celebrity heavy Real
Madrid. This sent David moving to Spain and Victoria stayed
behind in England to raise the children and to pursue reviving
her music career. With the couple living in different countries
literally rumors of infidelity were certain to start.

Last fall Beckham was spotted at
a night club with his interpreter/personal assistant Rebecca
Loos. A British tabloid printed
explicit text messages between the two in early April and
Loos has committed to a six-figure tell all reporting to
published reports. As if things couldn't get worse for Posh
and Becks, a second woman 29 year old Sarah Marbeck came
forward saying that she had had an affair with David while
he was touring with his soccer team in 2001. In a statement
released following the report of the first affair Posh told
the press, "We have been through a lot worse than this,
and we're definitely going to get through this."

David Beckham and Posh
Spice haven't received much press in the states until this
recent scandal. David Beckham was the inspiration for the
2003 movie Bend It Like Beckham. Posh Spice was a model
for Roc-A-Fella clothing for a short amount of time. She
was replaced by Kate Moss. Posh and Becks made an appearance
at last summers Kid's Choice Awards, but the U.S. media
never clung on to the British pair as the UK media did.
|
Posh and Becks have been putting
on a brave face and Posh has even been making appearances
at her husband's Real Madrid soccer games in wake of the
scandal. Did Becks cheat? Will Posh stay? Close friends
of the couple have told the media that Posh plans to stand
by her man and that she does not believe the women. One
thing for sure, this is a story that has legs, enough legs
to make headlines around the world and it doesn't appear
to be going anywhere. Another thing, David Beckham soccer
jerseys are all the rage now and getting your hands on an
away Real Madrid Beckham jersey is not easy.
