00:00 In a candid revelation, Victoria Beckham has addressed her husband David Beckham's alleged
00:06 infidelity for the first time.
00:08 The Spice Girls member shared her feelings in the new Netflix documentary titled Beckham.
00:13 Reflecting on the challenging period, Victoria revealed, "It was the most unhappy I have
00:18 ever been in my entire life," according to the news portal.
00:22 The fashion designer, who tied the knot with a former athlete in July 1999, admitted that
00:28 she felt resentment toward David amid the cheating allegations.
00:31 However, she also disclosed that she chose to internalise the trauma to support her husband's
00:37 soccer career.
00:38 Victoria emphasised, "It wasn't that I felt unhurt because I was always mindful of the
00:43 focus that he needed."
00:44 In 2003, David moved to Spain to play for Real Madrid, while Victoria stayed in the
00:49 UK with their sons, Brooklyn and Romeo.
00:52 Though the couple didn't name the woman involved in the alleged affairs, in the four-part docuseries
00:57 "Rebecca Laws and Sarah Marbike" claimed to have had relationships with the now-retired
01:02 athlete at the time.
01:04 Victoria made the decision to relocate to Spain after headlines about the alleged infidelity
01:09 surfaced.
01:11 She recounted, "It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against
01:16 us.
01:17 Here's the thing, we were against each other if I am being completely honest."
01:20 She further reflected on how this nightmare situation deeply affected their marriage.
01:26 The 49er explained, "You know, up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody
01:31 else.
01:32 But we were together, we were connected, we had each other.
01:36 But when we were in Spain, it didn't really feel like we had each other either.
01:41 And that said, I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me."
01:46 Victoria summed up the situation as an "absolute circus" and added, "Everyone loves it when
01:52 the circus comes to town, right?
01:59 Unless you're in it."
