David Beckham says marriage to Victoria is 'hard work'

IN an Airbnb to beat them all, the Beckham clan is holed up in a $17 million Mosman mansion that has the lot — aside from a tennis court.

Today, sporty 16-year-old Romeo Beckham — a keen tennis player — posted a social media pic of himself, 13-year-old brother Cruz and their football star dad David getting in a hitout at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney’s Olympic Park.

Earlier, mum Victoria was seen with the couple’s seven-year-old daughter Harper on the balcony of their holiday rental — which last sold in 2016 and has a swimming pool and breathtaking Harbour views — as David looked on.

Victoria shared a video of the Anzac Bridge to her social media, writing that she was “loving Sydney”.

Although eldest son Brooklyn, 19, is doing his own thing at home, the rest of the family is in town for David’s duties as an ambassador for Prince Harry’s Invictus Games.

The Beckham’s also enjoyed a very ‘Sydney” activity — visiting a trendy cafe in the inner west.

Posh, Becks and 16-year-old son Romeo ventured to Coffee Alchemy cafe in Marrickville on Thursday, surprising unsuspecting staff and customers.

Office Manager Kelsey Kobelka said she had “no idea” the trio were coming.

“I went over to one of the other guys and said is that who I think it is?! You have that moment of ‘is this really happening?” she said.

Becks enjoyed his coffee so much he knocked back three extra hot lattes while Posh had two ice brew lattes of her own.

“(Becks) really enjoyed the coffee that he had … so we gave him a bag of one of our blends,” Ms Kobelka said.

Fans too were left star struck by the family’s appearance, “inundating” them with photo and autograph requests.

While Becks stayed and mingled with customers, it all proved a little too much for Posh who returned to car where she waited for her husband.

“She had a baseball cap on and she was very low-key. She just left … I think she got a bit over it,” Ms Kobelka said.

Becks shared his experience at the cafe with over 50 million followers on Instagram, resulting in Coffee Alchemy rising to fame within hours of his visit.

On Thursday the Beckhams split up, with David, Romeo and Cruz climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge while Victoria and daughter Harper had their nails painted at The Nail Lab in Darlinghurst.

On Monday the family ventured out of Sydney for a day of quad-biking and abseiling at Glenworth Valley Outdoor Adventures on the Central Coast.

The adventure park’s account mentioned the visit on Instagram and revealed the Beckhams had asked them not to post any images of them.

“We are respectful of the family’s wish to refrain from posting the photos on social media,” a post on Glenworth Valley’s Instagram page said.

The Beckhams are in Sydney to attend the Invictus Games, for which David is an ambassador, however, the trip has been overshadowed by speculation about the couple’s marriage.

Victoria was reportedly left in “floods of tears” after David described their marriage as “hard work” and “complicated” in an interview with The Sunday Project.

“When Victoria was given the heads up on Wednesday about David’s interview, she was absolutely devastated,” a friend told The Sun.

“She has no idea why he would say such insensitive things and publicly embarrass her like this.

“As you can imagine, it was as if a nuclear bomb had gone off in the Beckham household when she found out.

“She was in pieces and spent the next two days crying. To say it’s not been the best of weeks is an understatement.”
