David and Victoria Beckham slam divorce rumours – labelling speculation over their split ‘nonsense’ and ‘a crock of s**t’
DAVID and Victoria Beckham's spokespeople have slammed rumours that the couple are to split, labelling wild social media speculation "nonsense" and a 'crock of s**t'.
Thousands of Twitter and Facebook users shared claims a divorce was imminent between the showbiz power couple - with the rumours even becoming one of the internet's most discussed "trending topics".
The former Spice Girl wrote next to the snap on Instagram: “Morning cuddles x So much love. We love and miss u @davidbeckham.”
A spokeswoman for the couple said: "There is no statement due, no divorce, and a lot of Chinese whispers and fake social media news."
“This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time.”
A spokesman added: "It's a crock of s**t."
It comes after bookmakers released a statement announcing they had suspended betting on the couple splitting, fuelling the speculation even further.
A spokesman Paddy Power said: “We’ve decided to suspend betting on the separation between Posh and Becks.”
The pair met at a charity football match at Old Trafford, Manchester in 1997 and just a year later the couple were engaged after David got down on one knee at a dinner.
Later in 1998 Posh announced she was pregnant with their first child and Brooklyn was born in March 1999.
On July 4 1999 — exactly four months after Brooklyn's birth — the pair were married at Luttrellstown Castle, Castleknock, Republic of Ireland.
Their second son Romeo was born in September 2002.
In 2003 Posh and the family moved with David to Spain following his transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid.
They had their third son, Cruz, two years later.
Brand Beckham upped sticks and moved to the United States in 2007 following his transfer to Los Angeles Galaxy.
In July 2011 David and Victoria's first daughter and last child Harper Seven was born.
