David and Victoria Beckham are one of the most famous couples in the world, but their marriage was shaken two decades ago while they were living in Spain.
In a Netflix documentary, Beckham, the former Spice Girls singer, now a fashion designer, spoke about her husband's alleged affair while he was playing for Real Madrid in 2003.
"It was the most difficult period because it seemed like the world was against us," says Victoria Beckham.
The couple previously denied claims of an affair while Beckham was playing for one of the biggest and most famous football clubs in the world.
"Here's the thing, to be completely honest, we were against each other," she said, not detailing what actually happened between them.
She continued: “You know, until Madrid, sometimes we felt like we were alone against everyone else. But then we were one, we were connected, we had each other".
"But while we were in Spain, it seemed to me that we no longer had each other, that we were not each other. And that's sad."
"I can't even tell you how hard it was and how it affected me."

Speaking about the press attention after she and the children then moved to Spain to join David, she said: “It was a nightmare. From the moment we landed, journalists followed us everywhere we went."
"It was a complete circus. It's fun when the circus comes to town, isn't it? Unless you're part of that circus."
Asked if she resented her husband at the time, she replied: "To be completely honest, I did."
"That was probably, if I'm honest, the unhappiest time of my life."
In the documentary, the former midfielder of the English national team and Manchester United, now the owner of the American football club Inter from Miami, also spoke about how the rumors surrounding his alleged extramarital affairs affected him and his family.
"There were some horrible stories that were hard to deal with.
"It was the first time that Victoria and I were put under such pressure in our marriage.
"I think we both felt at the time that we weren't getting lost, we were drowning," he said.
He then added: "Honestly, I don't know how we got over it."

In a review of the documentary, the London Independent pointed out that the authors "leave vague" the details of David's alleged infidelities.
The paper rated the documentary with four stars.
"Posh and Becks (nicknames for Vitkoria and David) are happy to talk about all sorts of things and events, from falling out with Fergie (Alex Ferguson, ex-Manchester United manager), abusive chants, THAT red card, sarongs and matching purple wedding dresses, but director Fisher Stevens remains friendly to more complex topics," he writes Independent.
London The Guardian also awarded it four stars, describing the documentary as "the honest, gripping truth about a footballer's life".
"This documentary series with global stars is fun, full of gossip and fun interviews," wrote Rebecca Nicholson.
"Each episode just flies by."
The Telegraph was more favorable, giving five stars to "a brilliant, intimate and sometimes heartbreaking account of an unexpectedly complex man".
"Beckham eschews the trend of sports documentaries that only serve as a PR campaign, showing David's career and family life," he wrote Beji Wilson of the Telegraph.
