David Beckham returns to social media to plug his skin brand

David Beckham has put the speculation about his marriage firmly behind him after returning to social media to promote his skin brand. 

It comes hours after he and Victoria Beckham had to deny divorce rumours, with such reports being branded ‘a crock of s***’.

Claims the couple were planning to split circulated on social media earlier on Friday, prompting high street bookmaker Paddy Power to suspend betting on the pair separating.

The move came despite there having been no suggestion the couple were having any marriage difficulties.

Jo Milloy, a spokesman for Spice Girl-turned-designer Mrs Beckham, said it was ‘absolute nonsense’.

And the former England football captain’s spokesman Simon Oliveira dubbed the claims ‘embarrassing and laughable’. 

Elsewhere, a spokesman for the couple was quoted as saying: ‘There is no statement due, no divorce, and a lot of Chinese whispers and fake social media news. This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time.’ The rumours were ‘a crock of s***’, he said. 

The football icon took to social media after the speculation to share a picture on Instagram promoting his grooming brand House 99 on Friday.

In the black and white image, the 43-year-old posed up a storm as he displayed his heavily-inked physique in a form-fitting T-shirt. 

Plugging his brand new collection, the father-of-four captioned the image: ‘@House99 is gearing up, share your #GameReady looks.’

Shortly before his post, the former Manchester United ace shared his condolences following the death of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who was found dead from a suicide on Friday. 

He took to his Instagram story and wrote: ‘Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you.’

The touching message continued: ‘It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.’

David ended the note with ‘Rest in peace Anthony’, alongside a folded hands emoji. 

The couple  – parents of Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13, and Harper, six – are preparing to celebrate 19 years of marriage together next month. 

Yesterday Victoria, 44, posted a photo of herself cuddling Harper at their home in London with the caption: ‘Morning cuddles x. So much love. We love and miss you @davidbeckham.’ 

The reports swirled around the world despite Victoria having sent a loving message to her husband on Instagram on Friday

The fashion designer had also got six-year-old Harper to pose for a picture in a mask of her father’s face. 

David, who made a public appearance in China earlier this week, is thought to be out working in Miami while Victoria looks after the children in London.

Former England football captain David and ex-Spice Girl Victoria tied the knot in a lavish £500k ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in 1999, where they sat on golden thrones.
