Rio Ferdinand says he has ‘never seen Victoria Beckham eat anything’

Retired English footballer Rio Ferdinand has opened up about his friendship with David and Victoria Beckham.

The BT Sport pundit, 44, and Inter Miami president, 47, both represented England in the World Cup, and Rio would sometimes dine with the Beckhams during training.

While speaking to Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O on Thursday, host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson admitted she was ‘obsessed’ with what Victoria eats because the fashion designer is a notoriously picky eater.

Rio responded: ‘I’ve never seen her eat anything. I don’t remember anything that sticks out of my memory, to be honest.’

‘Was she nice?’ Jackie then asked him, to which Rio replied: ‘Yeah, she is nice.’

While speaking to Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O this week, host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson admitted she was ‘obsessed’ with what Victoria (pictured) eats because the fashion designer is a notoriously picky eater. Rio replied: ‘I’ve never seen her eat anything’

Jackie’s co-host Kyle Sandilands then laughed: ‘You can’t be asking a player about another soccer player’s wife!’

Back in July, Victoria offered a glimpse of her ‘extreme’ diet after David admitted she ‘only eats grilled fish and vegetables’.

The mother of four, 48, told  Vogue Australia her husband made her tastes ‘sound boring’ when in fact she fills her diet with ‘healthy fat’ and regularly does detoxes where she abstains from drinking alcohol.

Victoria’s comments come after a TV chef revealed the star’s ‘complicated’ dinner demands when she and David attended Sergio Ramos’ wedding in 2019, where she constantly requested ‘bowls of mints and coconut water’.

Following David’s comments about her diet in a recent interview, Victoria told Vogue: ‘I mean, talk about making me sound boring! No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who’s more disciplined with the way that they eat.

‘I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to.

While her 19-year-old son Romeo enjoyed a ham pizza recently, Victoria chowed down on two pieces of salmon and an avocado 

‘I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.’

Earlier this year David offered insight into Victoria’s eating habits while discussing his own favourite foods during an interview on the River Che Table 4 podcast.

He said: ‘I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it.

‘Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.

‘Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.’

‘I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to,’ she explained
