Victoria Beckham has been in New York for much of this week. She’s been promoting her collaboration with Reebok, and she and David Beckham even reunited for some kind of NYC event for Reebok. A big part of me still believes that what we’re seeing from Posh and Becks these days is the last gasp of their marriage. Last year, when the split rumors really started swirling, it seemed like Victoria was still doing the most to save her marriage or make it look like they were still a happy couple. I don’t think she’s still doing that – when they step out together these days, they both look so over it. I covered Posh’s recent Guardian interview too, which was a fascinating read. It read like a woman who was getting her ducks in order to file for divorce at some point. Anyway, for now, we’re getting reports of how Posh and Becks were especially loved up. Suuure.
Victoria Beckham had a special person by her side while celebrating this week — her husband David Beckham! The two stepped out to tout her Reebok x Victoria Beckham collaboration at a party in New York City on Tuesday night, which the couple’s oldest child Brooklyn, 19, also attended with his girlfriend Hana Cross.
According to a source, David, 43, was an attentive and supportive husband at the party while Victoria, 44, celebrated her collection.
“David was by Victoria’s side the whole night,” the sources tells PEOPLE. “They were very touchy and flirty with one another.”
The Beckhams will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this summer after tying the knot at a sprawling castle in Ireland on July 4, 1999.
I don’t think Victoria and David have ever been touchy and flirty with each other, even when they were happy together. She’s just not that kind of person, right? There’s nothing wrong with that, but let’s be real – I don’t think many people are buying this. If you are buying it, God bless. Also: in July, they’ll celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. Do you think they’ll even be together by then?

Sure, Jan. Who was the source, Victoria?
I think it’s kind of cruel to keep dissecting their marriage.
But they have created their “brand” around their marriage, in a way. Not justifying people analyzing the situation, just pointing out that they presumably liked people dissecting it when it was making them money.
Exactly.
What’s going on with her hairline?
David dresses like his oldest son (or his son dresses like David, which is unlikely).
boots w rolled jeans and a sweatshirt is not a new look.
haha I was thinking that as well, they dress way too alike, and it’s not cute. However, I do think it’s son copying dad rather than the other way around, mainly because I feel David has been dressing like that for years but Brooklyn is pretty new to it..I think, I can’t say that I 100% know as the latter really grates on my nerves. *David I’m just meh about, he’s harmless but also about as exciting as a cardboard box.
I’m so bored by these two at this point.
He’s been posting about her a lot which is not the norm for him. He even showed up at her PFW showroom. Seems they has a good Christmas, I think they’re fine.
To be fair people live through social media but it does not reflect reality.The same can be said about paparazzi pictures of famous people.I dont think the Beckham have a perfect marriage,I also dont think it is that bad either..
I’ve heard people in long term marriages say they made it because neither gave up at the same time. Last year it really seemed like he gave up and checked out, and now it seems like she’s not into it anymore just as he’s suddenly putting in some effort. Maybe they will make it just for that reason lol
I dont think he gave up, he just takes his wife and kids for granted..and spends more time at parties drinking and trying to hook up with girls….
I also think he misses football and does not know what to do with all the free time..
I think being married to him ,its a cycle..2 months he is the perfect husband; then the next month you dont see him, then the month after he comes home maybe three or four times..then he is perfect again..
@kebbie that sounds like my parents. I was only 2 or 3 when they split (I’m also the youngest of 3), but the the story goes that my mom asked my dad if he wanted a divorce (he seemed pretty checked out at the time and she suspected he was cheating, which it turns out he was but denied at the time) and he said no. Then some time passed and he asked my mom if she wanted a divorce and she said no. Then some more time passed and my mom asked him again. That time he said yes, and the rest is history. It just took some time for them to be in the same place at the same time of wanting to end it.
I guess I have a really different memory of them as a couple… They overshare and PDA like the best of them. This idea they’re cold and unaffectionate towards each other is very new.
I think years ago they did seem affectionate. In recent years David barely acknowledges her when they are out in public.
Actually i just google the Beckhams except pictures of them holding hands,you dont have much ..Pictures of them kissing in public are very rare..
Their “PDA” has always been Victoria hanging on him and staring at the camera, more like posing and performative, than genuine displays of affection, IMO. I don’t think that says anything about their actual relationship though, just that she’s very camera aware and likes to pose for them.
This may seem like a strange thought–but maybe they’ve both gotten their ducks in a row, talked about getting a divorce soon, and now are breathing a sigh of relief that soon it’ll be over. Maybe. Life can be a little easier if you know that something is ending soon and you’ll be free.
Perhaps. Or maybe they made a new year’s resolution to be more connected and present with each other. For two people who live so much through their brand (alone and together), it’s nearly impossible to know the truth.
He always looks like his pulling her along. They don’t walk in step or in synch, she’s leaning back. I’m prob over analysing. I’ve never liked him that much, as I m not keen on vain men. I went off him when he was pictured wearing glasses and apparently they had clear lenses. This was pre Victoria so it’s not her influence.
Holy cow, they’ve been married 20 years? If Celebitchy had been around then, I wonder how long we all would have given them?
Honestly, if they are unhappy together, I can still see them never getting divorced and just trucking along for the business and financial aspects. It wouldn’t be that unusual especially for a wealthy couple.
I definitely think the PDA and flirting is performative, but I also don’t think they’ll get divorced anytime soon. They’ll keep living separate lives (doesn’t David spend much of his time in Miami now), and if they do split, it will be after the younger kids are out of the house.
I could also see them separating but never officially divorcing
I think they’ll definitely make it to their 20th anniversary. They’ve been faking it so long, what is 6 more months? I’m guessing within a year of their 20th they’ll announce they are “lovingly parting ways” or some such nonsense.
All of the divorce articles will mention their 20 year marriage which just looks more impressive than 19, though both are an eternity for celebrity couples.
If they didn’t plan on making it to 20, I think they would’ve separated last year.
Kebbie, I agree exactly – they’ve made an arrangement to last one more year and then end it on their own timing, not be pushed into it by tabloid reports.
All these reports of the Beckhams marriage make it clear for me,their children and family have heard the rumors about David..and they have been affected..
Maybe David is trying to be better..
Nice hairplugs david. They look like a second set of eye brows
