After a rocky ending at Manchester United, David signed to Real Madrid and suddenly, the family were uprooted to Spain. "I'm not sure how happy Victoria was about it, but I said to her we have to look at this like this is forever," David says. Although Victoria added the move was "less than ideal".
David admits the move left him feeling lonely without his family there the whole time. On top of that, Victoria was often vilified for not liking Spain, which she completely denies. "It was never about Spain. It was the family we had to really think about," she says. "I had two children, Brooklyn and Romeo, and this is what nobody seemed to take into consideration, when I was getting criticised for not being in Spain right from the beginning. A kid has to go to school. I knew I couldn't go to Spain until I had a school for Brooklyn. I was doing Monday to Friday in London and then jumping on a plane to Spain, but everything I did was fabricated, taken out of context."
Victoria adds: "Did I resent David? If I'm being totally honest, yes I did. It was probably, if I'm being honest, the most unhappy I've ever been in my entire life."
