Expensive Yacht Helps Rekindle Beckham's Love

Isn't it amazing what a big vessel can do for a woman and a marriage? David and Victoria Beckham have had a rough time over their seven year marriage, but ever since the recent World Cup loss and Beckham's resignation as captain, there has been a shift in the marriage. This only happened two weeks ago, but I guess a good two weeks seems like an eternity for some.

And as the couple enjoyed a leisurely cruise around the Italian coast, they showed they are getting on better than they have done for years. The Beckhams were openly affectionate as they relaxed aboard fashion designer Roberto Cavalli's £20million luxury yacht.
"David has been very low and withdrawn since the World Cup disaster and he has really depended on Victoria," a source close to the couple said.

"They have spent hours on end talking, drinking wine and holding hands as they try and work through his sadness at England's performance. For the first time in a long time, he is not the adored hero and his confidence is at an incredibly low ebb."

Now the 31-year-old footballer, can better appreciate how his wife suffered as her career waned, said the source.

"And, unlike the way he belittled her when she was feeling down, he has really been touched by the way she has been there for him.

"She is discussing a big deal with Roberto Cavalli and she has even been joking with David that it is his turn to take a breather because she is hoping that soon she will be in a position to support him."

Fingers are crossed for the couple.
