Because it felt like the world was against us.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Here&#8217;s the thing, we were against each other, if I&#8217;m being completely honest.

And that&#8217;s sad. I can&#8217;t even begin to tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Beckham stunned the world when his alleged relationship with Ms Loos were revealed in the now defunct News Of The World newspaper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the time Victoria had decided to remain in the UK so that her young sons Brooklyn and Romeo could stay in their schools. The decision left Beckham lonely, and he admits that he struggled.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;When I first moved to Spain it was difficult because I had been part of a club and a family for my whole career, from the age of 15 to when I was 27. I get sold overnight, the next minute I&#8217;m in a city, I don&#8217;t speak the language. More importantly, I didn&#8217;t have my family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Every time that we woke up we felt there was something else&#8230; we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other but drowning.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Asked how their marriage survived, David told how he feared playing football while his wife struggled to find a way through their crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Shaking his head, he said: &#8216;I don&#8217;t know how we got through it, in all honestly. Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we&#8217;re fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And what we had was worth fighting for. There were some days that I would wake up and think, &#8216;How am I going to go to work? How am I going to walk on to that training pitch? How am I going to look as if nothing&#8217;s wrong?&#8217; I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes, &#8216;How am I going to do this?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The crisis prompted Victoria to relocate to Madrid, where they bought a \u00a33million home which she says she decorated herself. She later went on to have the couple&#8217;s third son, Cruz, now 18, in the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-12592259\/Victoria-Beckham-relocating-Spain-David-Real-Madrid.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victoria Beckham reveals what she REALLY thought about relocating to Spain after husband David&#8217;s shock Real Madrid signing: &#8216;I was&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
