Victoria Beckham

Posh: 'I'll stay in LA without David"

Monday 09 February 2009

Still reeling from the news that husband David wants to move to Milan permanently, Victoria Beckham is torn over whether to uproot their family to join him and leave America.

And sources close to Posh say she’s been reduced to tears over her latest dilemma.

The couple have had a number of emotional conversations after David told Victoria he plans to extend his three-month contract with AC Milan and wants his family to join him in Italy.

And last week the footballer announced: “My intention is to stay in Milan and I hope that can happen.”

But Posh, 34, who moved their sons to LA in 2007 when David began playing for LA Galaxy, is against another upheaval and faces living apart from David for the time being.

She’s also worried that his obsessive-compulsive disorder is flaring up – a sign that their relationship is under strain.

A source said: “David’s started to arrange his things in rows and colours in his room and closet, and Victoria worries it means he’s not feeling relaxed and needs to control his environment.

“She knows his OCD is a signal that things are going wrong in their relationship.”

The source added: “There’s been lots of tears as they’re both desperate to be in different places and yet also want to make each other happy.

“David said he’d feel like half a man if she tried to stop him playing for AC Milan. He wants to play with world-class players again and isn’t ready to become a sporting has-been.

“One of the options is for him to stay in Milan with the family going to see him as often as possible, and him visiting LA when he can.”

But Posh doesn’t want that, even though she doesn’t want to uproot the boys either. Insiders say Posh isn’t ready to leave their £10million home, where the couple live with sons Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six, and three-year-old Cruz.

But David, 33 – whose lawyers are negotiating an early release from LA Galaxy – is determined to convince Posh to move to Italy.

A source said: “David wants his wife and sons around him. “He’s promised he’ll support her career and lifestyle in the future – all the choices will be hers after this last one of his.”

Pals are said to be worried their relationship will suffer if they live apart. A source said: “Victoria is paranoid every time she leaves Milan. David doesn’t phone her back straight away if he misses her calls or even text to say he’s busy and will call her later.”

But David’s determined to make more of an effort andsort out their problems in a bid to get Victoria and the boys to Italy.

A pal said: “David’s set up a video link so he can see his family every day and he’s been telling Victoria how much she means to him and what an amazing wife and mother she is.”

RE: Posh: 'I'll stay in LA without David"

It must be awful for them as they both want different things.
And i can understand David wanting to stay at AC Milan,the football isn't vey good in the states and it must be frustrating for him knowing he can stay in Milan where the football is first class,or go back to playing in the states and not get anywere,but be near his family.
But,David has been playing football alot longer than Posh's new fashion buisness,but then again i can understand Posh not wanting to up rute the boys again,as they have been settled awhile now.
Its a tuff one,but if i was married to David(umm) id probably move back to the uk for good,and visit Milan as often as possible.

RE: Posh: 'I'll stay in LA without David"

i agree with Clarabella. i would move back to the UK. Victoria's from here, she should stay here with her boys & that would make it easier for them to visit David. & anyway.. about the story a bit ago about Victoria & that x-factor.. she would have to move here to do that. she wouldnt want to leave her boys in LA would she? and she probably wouldnt want them to visit th euk for a while missing school..

hard decisions ey

MMMMMMMMM well if he hadnt have played around she would trust him more and the separation probably wouldnt be an issue!! But i suppose she did move to L.A. for him so maybe going back home would be a good idea, maybe then he would want to return to U.K to Happy families all round........Or is it?

No matter what, Victoria should be willing to support her husband in his career which has afforded them both a lavish lifestyle. If she doesn't go to Milan with him, she is leaving herself open to be cheated on again but what is a marriage without trust anyway? Victoria just loves the American lifestyle but David should come first and also the children who need both father and mother.

God this subject really gets my back up. Errr hello i think posh has supported david enuf in his career and their lavish lifestyle is not just down to david in fact if it wasnt for posh david would be nowhere near as famous as he is. shes the one thats responsible for the image he has now. do we not remember those famous engagement pics and how geeky he looked. in fact when they first got together who had heard of him, unless of course you were a footie fan no-one knew who he was. posh was already in the limelight when they met. its so easy for people to say ye she should do this or that but how the hell do we know how their real lives are behind closed doors. its not that simple to just pack ur bags n leave no matter how much money you have so leave her alone and stop constantly criticising her.

Err hello,

Are you a friend of Posh and sorry, but you've got that wrong as David was famous when Posh met him - I'm not particularily a football fan, but I know that and like many women, she knew this and as she was a rising celebrity in her own right and, as they do, drawn to him. Yes, David was already a STAR - Posh just a member of a group who were, by the way, quite short-lived apart from that little never to be repeated come-back tour and she no doubt did use David's fame to further her career as, take note, none of the others are as successful as her. Have you heard of Brand Beckham? Yes, she may have pushed him into other things: modelling clothes, aftershaves, etc. but that's using his fame and also she's done the same but it is all through who he is. Still think if he has to go to Milan on his own for a length of time, she's asking for trouble so watch this space.

RE: Posh: 'I'll stay in LA without David"

Hahaha no im not a friend lol, but what i meant was that Davids popularity soared after he met Posh even four year olds know who he is now. And it was her pushing him into Brand Beckham that has made him all the more popular thats what i was just trying to point out. It just annoys me when people always expect the woman to drop everything and run around after their men. She has a lot on her plate too and regardless of how petty it may seem compared with Davids footballing career its still something she wants to do and why shouldnt she. If she wasnt doing all these projects and earning money in her own right she would be accused of leeching off of Davids earnings like so many other wags. And if he cant keep his hands to himself when left alone i think that says a lot more about him than her. At the end of the day if a guy is willing to disrespect his wife/girlfriend and give in to temptation he will do it whether she is by his side or not. I hope not cos however they are perceived i think they make a great couple.

RE: Posh: 'I'll stay in LA without David"

Yes, she did push his popularity on its way - you are right about that but am I old-fashioned in thinking that a family should be together if the parents are married? I don't think it's good for the children if they live apart from one parent - it isn't like they are a one-parent family when it can't be helped. No, I don't think it's right if David does cheat on her but she has seen it once and was, allegedly, devestated so why give him chance again? She might think he's learned his lesson but last time he was upset about being on his own, he found solace else where and it could happen again. If she wants to risk that, well that's up to her. It's like you say, you don't know what goes on behind closed doors, so nobody actually knows if she's that happy with him anyway - in that case, she'll be quite happy for him to toddle off to Milan while she does her own thing in America. She won't want to divorce him, she's such a lot to lose and won't want anyone else to get their hands on it.
