Victoria Beckham has lifted the lid on the aftermath of the infidelity claims from the beginning of her relationship with David Beckham.
During the four-episode Netflix documentary about the athlete’s career and personal life, the singer revealed she punched David after hearing rumors of an affair.
In 2003, the right-winger was famously accused of cheating on the Spice Girl with his former personal assistant, Rebecca Loos.
At the time, it was reported the affair took place while he was playing in Spain for Real Madrid.
Although he branded the claims as “ludicrous,” Victoria revealed their relationship suffered as a result.

As the fashion designer spoke to the camera she called that time the “hardest period” in their lives because “it felt like the world was against” them.
However, this was just one of the cheating claims as David was accused of kissing someone while Victoria was away on tour.
At the time, she was pregnant with their first child Brooklyn, who is now 24 and married to Nicola Peltz.
When the claims were first unearthed, David called his wife to inform her of the allegations.
The mom-of-four confessed that the next time they saw each other, she “went straight up to him and just swung at him, punched him.”
In her 2001 autobiography titled Learning to Fly, the singer briefly addressed the incident and shared: “I never planned it.
“I hadn’t punched anybody before. Just instinct. I just felt angry and hurt.”
Victoria revealed she was so distraught that she suffered suicidal thoughts and wrote that David who maintained his innocence also felt the same.
The couple decided to work on their marriage and jetted off the Lake Como in Italy to work through their differences.
Four months after welcoming Brooklyn, David and Victoria got married in a lavish ceremony in Luttrellstown Castle.
As well as family, their wedding had a star-studded reception including her bandmates and some of David’s teammates.
Their romance has stood the test of time as the couple recently celebrated their 24th anniversary.
