After proudly congratulating his designer wife on her new fashion collection last week, David Beckham then showed off his playful side as he secretly filmed her “peachy” bum and shared it with his 46 million Instagram followers.

Sharing the footage of Victoria – aka Posh – wiggling her derrière in a pair of jeans adorned with her initials, a clearly smitten David, 45, wrote, “Looking good”, as he tagged his wife of 21 years alongside two peach emojis.

Meanwhile, the former Spice Girl, 46, sparked controversy when she was accused by fans of breaking Instagram’s nudity rules after she posted a racy snap of a model in a sheer shirt from her range.

According to insiders, Posh and Becks’ risqué behaviour is down to spicing up their marriage during lockdown.

The source says, “Having an uninterrupted five months together and a break from their hectic schedules was a blessing in disguise for them, and while they wish the quality time had come about in better circumstances, they credit it for making them feel like honeymooners again.

“They’ve been acting like love-struck teenagers. As much as they dote on their children, Vic admits it’s made a difference with the kids being older and more independent. It’s meant she and David have had more ‘alone time’.

“It’s no wonder the public are getting more of a glimpse of their raunchy side now – they’ve always been flirty, it’s just they’ve had more downtime to reignite their romance again.”

One half of the indestructible Beckham brand, Victoria was the original Queen WAG in 2006. At the time Victoria had been married to David for seven years and had just given birth to her third boy, Cruz. She had also just launched her denim line, dvb Style and walked the catwalk for Roberto Cavalli. Over a decade later, she is a fully fledged and well respected fashion designer, with a fourth addition to her brood – the adorable Harper.

Coleen rose to fame as a WAG at just 20 years old. Coleen and Wayne are married and they celebrated their ten-year anniversary in 2018. However, Wayne's repeated cheating has strained the relationship over the years. They have four children together, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass. Since 2006 Coleen has released a fitness DVD, been a style advisor for Littlewoods and even had a column with us in Closer magazine.

How could we forget Cheryl as a WAG? Back then, 23-year-old Cheryl was a popstar in Girls Aloud who had just married Ashley Cole. Nowadays, Cheryl is a household name and a worldwide celebrity in her own right. After splitting from Ashley in 2010, she had a successful (well, successful-ish) solo career, was a judge on The X Factor and was the face of beauty brand L'Oreal. She married Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in 2016 but they divorced three months later. Most recently, Cheryl separated from One Direction singer, Liam Payne, who she has a baby son called Bearwith.

Despite being married to one of the most famous footballers at the time, Louise Owen wasn't your stereotype WAG. She has always managed to keep her distance from the limelight.

At the beginning of the pandemic, in March, David was spotted grabbing Posh’s behind at son Brooklyn’s 21st birthday bash, and they have since posted several images of themselves canoodling in a series of loved-up snaps on Instagram. He even playfully drew a picture of a penis on her cleaning Marigolds after she called them her “new best friend”.

It’s reminiscent of the early years of their relationship, when Posh made a series of raunchy confessions about their sex life – famously dubbing her husband “Golden Balls” and revealing how one room in their marital home was like a “tart’s boudoir” with “a mirrored ceiling.”

At the time, she also admitted she always chose sex over sleep, adding, “I’m getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so there’d be something wrong if I said ‘sleep’.”

But over the years, Posh has become far more private about their marital life which, coupled with accusations of David’s apparent lack of affection towards his wife, has often fuelled rumours their marriage could be on the rocks.

The REAL reason Coleen Rooney has forgiven Wayne's betrayal... AGAIN

Hinting that their sex life had slowed down after 14 years of marriage and four children – who also include Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and nine-year-old Harper – in 2013, Victoria confessed, “Honestly, once the children are in bed I’d rather work or shove a face pack on and pluck my eyebrows.”

But after shooting down divorce rumours in 2018, she assured fans their sex life was still healthy – insisting, “You don’t need to worry about that!” when asked if their love life had dwindled over the years.

The source adds, “Vic and David are on cloud nine – they haven’t been this ‘spicy’ since their years of dating. She is hoping they can continue to enjoy this phase, as it’s helped to solidify their marriage even more.”
