I've just had a brief scan on here to see if anyone has posted, but apparently D&V Beckham are announcing their divorce today? Reports saying he's got Harper's teacher pregnant!

Anyone else heard this? Bookies have suspended betting on it!

Tbh I imagine that their kids come in for all sorts of speculation given that they are who they are. Let’s face it it’s easy for someone to make up a rumour now of how the parents were asked to remove their kids and for them to run with it. Doesn’t mean that it’s true though does it? I remember when I was at school there were all sorts of rumours circulating about teachers having affairs and so forth and we all believed them and gossiped about them. No doubt if there had been high profile kids rumours would have circulated about those or their parents as well....

But they are worth far too much to each other married than divorced, her especially, so there is no way they will divorce IMO, and he’s not the first to cheat on his wife and her turn a blind eye and he won’t be the last.

And all sorts of people get women pregnant and it’s a shitstorm but they still stay with their wives and their wives put up with it.

Neither of them are victims here. She’s never exactly been the life and soul and his affairs have been widely known. She stays because it would harm her more not to.

A friend works for one of the big mags as a writer and says (without confirming) that she's had about 200 emails with questions/alerts today about it. So I would imagine something is brewing.

Although I dont think the affair rumours are particularly newsworthy though, theyve gone for years. Katherine Jenkins, Poppy Delavigne, blah blah blah.

I will never understand why sex is so addictive to some men that they will risk losing their wives and children and homes just to squirt into a different hole for a bit.
Self control is a thing of the past and if this is true he is utterly disgusting and she must be feeling humiliated.
What an animal

Aragog · 08/06/2018 17:06

You can't fire a teacher for having sex with another consenting adult

Depends on your work place rules I'd assume. It can be a disciplinary matter just to be friends on FB with a parent of a pupil, let alone having an intimate relationship with one of them.

DontDrinkDontSmoke · 08/06/2018 17:07

There have been rumours about becks and Harper’s teacher since she started school.

Does he shag the new teacher every school year. What if it is a sir and not a miss?

Presuming it’s true.

I can't imagine a school would keep you on if you were having an affair with your pupil's married parent.

InfiniteSheldon · 08/06/2018 17:10

Nice used to mean exact or precise now means you know nice which apparently some posters aren't Grin

People in RL are actually texting each other about the love life of people they don't even know?

MysticMeggyMoo · 08/06/2018 17:13

To all the posters that view themselves as above a bit of celebrity gossip, why did you click on this thread?
I’m genuinely curious...

NotARegularPenguin · 08/06/2018 17:14

Depends how good a teacher you are and how much the other parents would kick,off if a good teacher was sacked. Money talks, parents pay fees.

NotARegularPenguin · 08/06/2018 17:15

Maybe people clicked on the thread thinking there had been an official announcement, etc.....not that it was just gossip?

Fresta · 08/06/2018 17:16

The Beckhams have denied the rumours here

Coyoacan · 08/06/2018 17:17

'Apparently' is widely misused. Look it up in a dictionary. It doesn't change meaning just because enough people use it incorrectly

Common usage comes before a dictionary definition. or does your Bible start with "In the beginning, was the dictionary"

Tiredemma · 08/06/2018 17:17

Friend worked in the school that they used in Madrid. He's got form for putting it about with the female staff.....apparently

Pa1oma · 08/06/2018 17:19

I think the teacher was asked to leave and the Beckhams were "advised" to look for a different school place for Harper. She moved to another prep in the area around Easter.

HollowTalk · 08/06/2018 17:20

This seems very strange. DB will know a huge range of people, a lot of whom will want to have a secret affair with him - it would be important for them to keep it secret, too.

Why would he always go for his children's teachers? When the hell would you see the teachers in order to even start the affair?

WrenDouglas · 08/06/2018 17:23

I'm feeling relieved! I thought this was going to be about David Mitchell and Victoria Coren.

HollowTalk · 08/06/2018 17:25

That's just ridiculous. Schools don't discuss hiring and firing with parents, no matter how high the fees are! And why would parents be on the side of a teacher who'd slept with a parent? Nobody would trust her again.

senioritabonita · 08/06/2018 17:26

Why would Arnold Swartzengger fuck the maid?
Ben Affleck, Jude Law and that dick Gwen Stephani marries the nanny?
Woody Allen his partners daughter?

Because they can.

Aragog · 08/06/2018 17:28

Would appear from that statement that the schools used by the Beckhams have a lot of female staff who have form for being happy to have affairs with married men too, if true.

TweeBee · 08/06/2018 17:30

Ha ha Hollow good point! It seems that it would be easier to speak to the Queen than DC's teacher here!

RubySapphireEmerald · 08/06/2018 17:33

Friend worked in the school that they used in Madrid. He's got form for putting it about with the female staff.....apparently and presumably the female staff are all willing participants? Don’t get me wrong, he’s the one who is married and who made vows to his wife, but if the female staff have all shagged him they presumably knew what they were doing? Unless said female staff thought that starting rumours would be a better use of their time and way to bring in an income if they spill to the tabloids?

All you need to do is start a rumour about a celebrity and it will be rife on social media before too long. And given someone like DB has form who are the tabloids likely to believe?

If he’s putting it about with the staff at his child’s school then the staff at his child’s school were presumably up for a shag, no?

caperberries · 08/06/2018 17:35

Harper has recently moved schools. A friend's daughter is in her year. He told me this about a month ago, but not that the teacher was pregnant, just that there had been an affair and the Beckhams asked to leave the previous school because of it. I'm not a parent at that particular school but there has been talk of this for some weeks. Obviously the schools have tried to keep things quiet, but it's difficult.

Are you sure she's changed schools? In the Instagram pic today she still seems to be wearing the same purple uniform that she's been wearing for the past couple of years. I won't name the school but the uniform is fairly identifiable.

God only knows why the Beckhams choose to share so many pictures of their children in their school uniforms on social media.

RubySapphireEmerald · 08/06/2018 17:37

God only knows why the Beckhams choose to share so many pictures of their children in their school uniforms on social media. presumably so that it’s then easy to discredit the kind of bullshit that’s being posted about them... Wink.
