They were recently forced to deny rumours that they are divorcing following rampant speculation online, saying they are "very bizarre" and "an embarrassing waste of time". A day later, they made a loved-up public appearance to dispel any rumours of an impending split.

Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, first met the Manchester United footballer 21 years ago at a charity football match.

They married in a lavish wedding ceremony in 1999 in Luttrellstown Castle in Dublin.

The couple share three sons and a daughter together, 19-year-old Brooklyn, 15-year-old Romeo, 13-year-old Cruz and Harper, six.
