David Beckham and Victoria Beckham are facing financial turmoil.
The 50-year-old English former professional footballer is not in a position to help his wife’s struggling fashion empire because the brand Victoria, which was launched in 2008, was losing a significant amount of money, mainly because they spent over $90,000 a year just on plants.
Victoria tried to save her business and turned to her husband David but put a strain on their marriage instead.
In her Netflix docuseries, Victoria Beckham, David reflected on their past money woes and her fixation on plants, saying, “For her to say, ‘We need some money, the business needs more money,’ that was hard for both of us. Because I didn’t have the money to keep doing this, and eventually I was like, ‘This cannot continue.'”
He added, “She loved plants. And it was costing her £70,000 ($93,000) a year. And then there was someone who was coming to water the plants for £15,000 ($19,000) a year, and that’s only the beginning!”
The president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF revealed that he had never experienced something “as hard as this to fix.”
“So I went her, and I decided to just tell the truth, exactly the way it is, and I didn’t know how she’d react. I said, ‘Victoria, we have to change everything, restructure the business, and that’s gonna be painful,’” David recalled.
