David and Victoria Beckam are in the news often, for his body, her fashion sense, his career, her attempts at one, his body, their house being robbed, his body, their cute kids, did I mention his body? But you don’t hear rumors of a break-up with them very often, they seem to have a remarkably strong and loving marriage.

But how much of that is based on what one brings to the other? The couple each have their own merits for celebrity, but they are made more by their association to the other, so the thought of dividing their collaborative assets seems like not only a shame as a family, but a disaster as a brand.

The celebrity couple – who moved to America last year after David signed a multi-million pound deal with soccer team Los Angeles Galaxy – are said to be spending increasing amounts of time apart as they pursue their own interests.

David, 33, is reportedly desperate to return to European soccer, while Victoria, 34, is determined to increase her profile by staying in the US.

A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “David has to move back to Europe if he wants to continue to play international football. Victoria still believes they can make it big in America, but she fears a move back to Europe could kill off their Hollywood future for ever.”

It has been claimed David’s proposed loan deal with a Spanish or Italian team this winter could be “the straw which break’s the camel’s back”.

Victoria has seen an international surge in her celebrity since moving to the US and she revels in it, donning controversial clothing, and shoes especially, usually while shopping. I bet she’s kicking herself that Madonna debuted those Miami Vice trigger-happy heels last week. She doesn’t want to give that up, for anything. So now, she’s faced with quite the kerfuffle in choices, because David is reportedly signing a loan agreement with Italy.

Swopping the downbeat Home depot Centre in Carson City for the football temple of the San Siro – or in Victoria’s case, the boutiques of Rodeo Drive for the supremely elegant Galleria di Vittorio Emanuele – David Beckham looks set to spend around two months of next year playing football on loan to AC Milan.

For both Beckhams the unexpected move next January will be a match made in heaven – Milan is a city whose designer-clad denizens are mad about both football and fashion.

Both sides said today the deal was still not finalised, but the aim was that Beckam would join in January for two month loan.

He will need to return to the United States for their new soccer season in April.

The planned deal was disclosed by Adriano Galliani, the aC Milan president, who said: ‘He will be a club player for a few months and then leave. Beckham chose Milan.

So, the question becomes, what’s more important to Posh, clothes or the guarantee you’ll be photographed every time you go to Build A Bear? If the contract were for more than two months, I would guess it would be the latter, the woman doesn’t eat food, she eats publicity to keep her alive. But David and Victoria stick together, in the true meaning of for better or worse, never having to worry about for richer or poorer. David Beckham, and his beautiful body, explained how the couple stick together.

He said: “We have quite a lot of pressure, honestly, as a couple. But we’ve had that since we first started going out, so we’ve got used to it over the years. We have a way of working through it by looking out for each other.”

Yeah, I look out for David Beckham, too, in every Emporio Armani underwear ad I can get my hands on. I’ll leave the looking out for Posh to Becks, unless I’m walking next to her at the toy store and I’m afraid she’ll fall off her platform, weapon-spiked, heel-less, 7″, patent leather, glow in the dark, turbo-equipped shoes and onto some poor, unsuspecting child, even if it’s one of her own.
