Victoria Beckham Pregnant

[Ravenfire]

<span style='color:red'>Victoria Beckham is pregnant with her third child, it has been announced.

The singer and her husband England and Real Madrid football star David Beckham released a statement confirming their baby is due in early March next year.

The couple said: "This is fantastic news. We are both absolutely delighted. We are planning to have the baby in Spain." </span>

Good for them. They obviously love kids and I am delighted for them.

David loves kids. Posh is just trying to save the Beckham empire isn't she? Because she's nothing without David and she knows it. So she's doing the glue-baby thing to save the crumbling empire. Will it work?...

<span style='color:red'>Posh and becks are on the verge of splitting up despite her pregnancy, the news of the world can reveal today. And friends fear England captain David is now heading for a breakdown over his marriage.
The warring couple are being torn apart by explosive rows-even though their third child is on the way-with Victoria branding her husband a "vain, arrogant yob". It's got so bad they've started talking about a trial seperation so they can take stock of their marriage. </span>

So I dont think things are looking too good for the pair. Shame though I thought they made a good couple.

Oh blueberry how harsh..lol. I think Victoria Beckham gets an awful lot of stick. I dont for a minute believe she got pregnant to keep him. Lets face it, if we are to believe all that has been reported in the papers (although Im sceptical about how much is right/wrong) she is the one who has been cheated on yet she is the one who has been blamed. I think DB is gorgeous but he's no saint!

I don't believe that she should be blamed if her hubby can't keep his pants on but why didn't she go to Spain in the first place? She put her career first and her husband second. I can understand that there are women who are dedicated to their careers but they don't make it blatently obvious that hubby is in second place (or third if kids are involved)
TBH My first thought when I heard she was pregnant was a very cynical one - another attempt at a singing career has flopped might as well have a baby. But I hoped she was happy for her familys sake. It looks like this isn't the case and a baby won't paper over the cracks, it'll cause more.

Not sure how "reliable" the News of theWorld is for this info, Kelina, but I had heard somewhere that she won't be going back to her "singing career" after this baby.(Probably because, as you said Colette, her attempts for a solo career have flopped anyway.)

I hope they can make it work, but if not, there must be faults on boths sides (but mostly his!)

[pie]

But Colette, why put the emphasis on Victoria? If David had been putting her first then he wouldn't have taken a job abroad surely? He put his career first and his family life second.

They've always said they wanted a lot of children. I hope what ever happens the kids are ok.

I think they will be fine, really I do.
I think its just the papers writing what people want to read - I doubt half of it is true.

I guess what I'm saying is that - if your dh/dp got a job abroad, that would take him away from a boss you both despised (and the only way DB could have got a better job was to go abroad) would you go with him or would you stay behind to chase what was effectively a pipe dream. If she were the big earner of the family then I would have expected him to follow her as well. Don't worry, I do think women can have careers and families but, at the end of the day, one partner usually ends up earning more than the other, that wage is depended upon and most families would be really stuck if the higher earner lost their job by turning down lucrative opportunities because the other partner decided no to go with them. I hope that makes sense (I think I'm jabbering!)

I have to say that I agree with you collette - it was his job that was bringing in the dosh and it's not as though she can't 'work' from Spain is it?

Mind you , I don't agree with having affairs, but then again I don't agree with quite a few things that she has done in the past. I can't see her splittling up with DB though - He is the one with access to the publicity where as she is much more of a has been IYSWIM.

Ooohh, this discussion is so hot it can fry eggs! :grin:

I agree with mariesmummy... Yes, the press (especially the tabloids) love to spruce and juice up stories and we can never really be sure who or how much is right or wrong, true?... But Posh has been going around doing all sorts of publicity stunts that she got negative reviews from all quarters and still she never learned. Yes, she has a right to a career, and she shouldn't be cheated upon by her own husband, but I think she helped created an environment which invited her husband's adultery, and her career wasn't really that great anyway compared to her husband's. I remember reading a lot of Posh saying she will never go to Spain, bla bla bla, that she's going to the States to cut an album and she's been giving David the ultimatum... I believe that if you are living off your husband's earnings than you don't really deserve to be so bossy and arrogant do you? She is still in the limelight today because of David, and he was doing great (although earning less because he's too dumb and didn't have the manipulative skills to create the Brand Beckham) on and off the pitch. And I blame David too for his affairs but I think he must've been at the end of his teether and was lonely and didn't know what else to do.

(Excuse me, I think I'm jabbering too... :grin:)

Well I seem to remember when they first got together she earnt more then him but STILL had to move to Manchester when her job was in London. And why does it have to come down to money. Isn't her doing something she loves just as important as him doing something he loves, even if she earns less then him at this point. Just because David is earning more then her right now doesn't mean that she is any less of an equal partner. A marriage is about a partnership, not a woman's choices being devalued because she earns less. Plus she would still be a millionaire without his money, so its not really as if she is "living off" him.

I don't think there can ever be an excuse for not keeping your pants on.

[blueberry]

The thing is Pie, she's doing so miserably in her singing (if anyone could call that singing) and her hubby was on top of the world in his football career! And you know how sport jocks are with girls, they're like magnets. So when you have a supa-rich, supa-hunky supastar of a footie player for a husband, you don't leave him lying around the world like he's some sort of a dishrag, you know. You're just asking for it if you do! :grin:

[blueberry]

Ummm... Read in the tabloid today about Beck's finished relationship with Marks and Spencer, and it mentioned something about Posh's previous description of her husband - Essex yob. What's an "Essex yob"?

[blueberry]

Am bumping this up because:

1. No one has told me what an Essex Yob is.
2. I need one mor epost to play a game at the arcade.
3. Just read in the paper of another claim by another woman (the beauty therapist) that she slept with Becks! Gosh!
