The Beckhams to sue newspaper over unfaithful marriage report England football captain David Beckham and his pop star wife Victoria are to sue the News of the World over a story claiming their marriage was in trouble, their lawyers said on Tuesday. The lawyers said the article “Posh and Becks on Rocks” was untrue and “caused considerable distress to both the couple and their family.” In a statement, the lawyers said the newspaper had not taken up an opportunity to apologise for the story. The News of the World has not commented on the announcement. “David and Victoria Beckham today initiated legal proceedings against the News of the World in relation to an article published on Sunday Sept 12, 2004. “The News of the World was given the opportunity to provide an apology but have chosen not to respond to the couple's request,” said their lawyers in a statement. Beckham revealed in August that Victoria was pregnant with their third child and also that she and their two sons Brooklyn and Romeo had finally made the move from England to live with him in the Spanish capital. Beckham moved from Manchester United to Madrid in July 2003 while his family remained in England which allegedly caused friction between the two of them. The marriage hit a rocky patch earlier this year after reports the football star had an affair with his former personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, who went on to sell her story to the media. |
