David and Victoria Beckham have reached an out of court settlement with the News of the World, after filing a defamation lawsuit against the tabloid. The two parties have announced that they have agreed to settle the case, although the details of the agreement have not been revealed. The News of the World had previously reported that the Beckhams were only pretending to be a happily married couple, and were on the verge of divorce. The story was based on information from the Beckham's former nanny. Rumours about the couple's private life began in 2004, when Rebecca Loos, a former assistant to the British football captain, revealed that she had been involved in a sexual relationship with Beckham. |
