How David & Victoria Beckham’s Marriage Survived Cheating Allegations

The family’s L.A. abode was a 13,000-square-foot villa they bought for a reported $22 million because, as Victoria told W, “we didn’t want anything too huge, too fancy, too ostentatious.”

“It’s a light, happy house, with a great corridor the kids are going to love when they are roller-skating,” she added, while David joked that they wouldn’t have any live-in staff because “we like to lock the doors at night and wander around naked.”

Victoria admitted that the scandal, which wasn’t in the too-distant past yet then, had made for “a really tough time” for them, “hard for our entire families. But I realized a lot of people have their price.”

Referring to their only recently weathered scandal, Victoria told the magazine (with her husband reportedly sitting quietly next to her, holding her hand), “David and I got through it together. No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road. But the fact is we’ve come out of everything we’ve been through stronger and happier. It’s even better now than when we were first married. After all these years, we can just come home and have a laugh together.”
