In a candid interview, David Beckham has revealed that life with his wife of 20 years doesn't come without its complications.

Speaking to The Sunday Project in Australia, the ex-footballer admitted that things become "a little more complicated" when two people have been married for such a long time.

"When you've been married for the amount of time that we have, it's always hard work," David said in the teaser trailer. "It becomes a little more complicated".

The conversation comes after David was absent from wife Victoria Beckham's Vogue magazine cover shoot, which sparked split rumours across the globe.

Victoria has worked long and hard to build an incredibly successful brand over the last ten years and I am so proud of her. I’m happy to be in a position to support her dreams. It was an honour to have been part of the October @britishvogue cover shoot to celebrate @victoriabeckham and my beautiful family, it’s out on Friday. Thank you @edward_enninful ❤️

The image showed Victoria with only her four children, which fans took as the designer appearing to the world as a solo mother.

But the megastar couple dismissed the rumours and a spokesperson stated they split accusations were "a crock of sh*t".

In their 20 years of marriage, the couple have been under constant scrutiny amongst speculation of a split.

They began dating in early 1997 and have four children - Brooklyn, 19; Romeo, 16; Cruz, 13; and 7-year-old Harper.
