Attentive fans discovered earlier this fall that Victoria Beckham’s tattoo on her right hand had almost completely faded.
In a video on Instagram Beckham showed off a new lipstick she had launched and put a color swatch on her wrist, right next to the tattoo.
It was then that fans noticed that the tattoo, which she got as a tribute to her husband David Beckham, had all but disappeared from her wrist. She created reactions among Victoria’s fans.
The posts create speculation
On this week’s The Today Show, Victoria now shows off her completely tattoo-free wrist and also provides an explanation that might reassure fans, according to People.
– I had these tattoos a long time ago and they just weren’t particularly beautiful anymore, he says.
– They were just a little thick and they were bleeding a little, and they weren’t that good. They just weren’t that good. That doesn’t mean anything else, she continued.
With that, he harshly responds to those who thought there were problems in marriage.
– Did the media start speculating if I left my husband? No. I was just a little tired of the tattoo. It’s that simple, she says.
A long marriage
Victoria and David Beckham can boast a long marriage. They’ve been together for over 20 years, but the former was previously honest that all is not rosy all the time.
– People have been making things up about our relationship for 20 years. We both realized that we are stronger together than as two individuals, he told British Rowing i 2018.
When the couple were able to celebrate 23 years together, they also wrote on Instagram that “people said it wouldn’t last.”
“They said it wasn’t funny, they said I never smiled, they said it wouldn’t last. Today we celebrate 23 years of marriage, “wrote Victoria at the time.
