Victoria Beckham: Live your life or you’d be completely paranoid

Talking to US Marie Claire, the 36-year-old mother-of-three, who appears on the cover of the magazine’s November issue, revealed how she feels about the rumours that have dogged her 35-year-old husband David.

In a direct reference to Rebecca Loos – the footballer's former assistant who sensationally claimed to have had an affair with him – the magazine asks how she feels about the "tabloid press" that "can play Loos with the truth".

The former Spice Girls singer replies: "That part is difficult. There is no law about what the internet can print and our children do go on the internet when they're doing their homework. It does concern you what your kids are reading and what they are hearing… But you have to live your life, too, or you'd be completely paranoid."

The interview comes just a week after the football ace was reportedly mentioned in the divorce papers of a couple whose children attend the same Los Angeles school as the Beckhams’ sons – Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five.

However, Posh spoke to Marie Claire before the story broke.

Beckham also talked about the couple's new life in LA, where they have been living for three years and how she loves being a “tiny fish in a big pond”.

She said: "There are rumours that we want to move back to the UK, but we're so happy in America I actually can't see us ever leaving.”

She added: "In England, David and I are big fish in a small pond. But in LA we are tiny, tiny, tiny fish in a big pond.

"I mean, let's be honest about it. When you've got Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes living down the street as your neighbours, who gives a s*** about Victoria and David?”
