“I’m going to be naked if I’m getting in bed”: David Beckham and Wife Victoria Have a Strange Reason for Not Sleeping Together After 24 Years of Marriage
Having been together for nearly 24 years, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham are regarded as one of the industry’s power couples and are viewed as the ideal pair by many admirers.
However, as no relationship is perfect, David and Victoria Beckham also had to deal with personal struggles, which are depicted in the recently released docuseries Beckham on Netflix. Even though the pair overcame obstacles in their relationship, one specific habit that they had that was brought up in one of their interviews has returned and is once again attracting attention.
Victoria and David Beckham’s fascinating reason behind choosing to sleep in separate beds
In an interview in 2017 with the Daily Mail, Victoria and David Beckham explained that the reason they sleep in different beds is that they had invested in a new countryside residence in Cotswolds, England, which has separate wings, designed for each of them. These wings include their own kitchen, bedroom, and courtyards, ensuring they have enough privacy and independence.
A source via The Things said,
“It actually works out well for David, Victoria and the kids. If they are all driving each other mad, they can retreat into these wings like they are living in separate houses. It is handy for Soho Farmhouse, so David can escape for a party whenever he fancies it – and that seems to be one reason he chose to buy that property.”
The audience got to see glimpses of their house in the Netflix documentary.
Victoria Beckham talks about her sleeping habits
In an interview with Elle in 2007 via The Things, the fashion designer opened up about the couple’s sleeping habits and said,
“I sleep naked. I’m going to be naked if I’m getting in bed with him every night.”
She had explained in another interview (via Stuff) that she puts on really thick foot lotion with socks before she goes to sleep, adding that she also uses thick hand cream with gloves at the same time.
The statement clarifies that the couple had started to sleep in separate beds around 2017 which some people pointed out was an interesting time for them to take this decision because, at the same time, the couple had decided to renew their vows.

In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, David Beckham explained that the couple had opted to renew their vows minus all the glamour and fanfare. He shared at the time,
“We have renewed our vows since then. It was a lot more private. There were about six people there in our house. We know each other better than anybody. People have talked about, ‘Do we stay together because it’s a brand?’ Of course not. We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children.”
David Beckham said that relationships go through tough times and it’s a part of marriage, having children, and having responsibilities. The couple, along with their kids, are stronger than ever and their presence at the premiere of Beckham’s London premiere was witnessed by the audience.
