The 43-year-old retired professional footballer, David Beckham, has been married for nearly 20 years but said it's not always easy.

He said married life is complicated after years of marriage, and added: "When you've been married for the amount of time that we have, it's always hard work."

Fans are worried that Beckham's revelations might mean there's trouble in paradise, as he also didn't make it a Vogue cover shoot with his family.

The cover image only included Victoria and their children, and fans were worried that Posh Spice is now a single mother.

However, the duo was quick to squash all rumors of a breakup and divorce, and their spokesperson described the allegations as a "crock of [expletive.]"

Victoria said in a recent interview that tabloids are constantly writing "nonsense" about their marriage and that they've learned to ignore the rumors.

The rumor mill has been working tirelessly since the couple tied the knot 19 years ago but they are "just carrying on as normal."

She added though the repercussions affect those around them and it's not fair towards their friends and family members.

"But these things have a wider effect on the people around us, and that's unfair."

Victoria also added that as a family, they are stronger together than they are apart. The six of them will be able to overcome anything thrown their way.

Beckham discussed other aspects of his family lived in the interview as well and said of fatherhood: "Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference."

The couple shares three sons – Brooklyn Joseph, 19, Romeo James, 16, Cruz David, 13, – and 7-year-old Harper.
