Football star David Beckham has apologized to his children for his "dad moves."

David apologized to his kids - Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper - on Instagram as he uploaded a dancing photo with his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

"Still making her laugh with my dancing 26 years on. Love you @victoriabeckham & thank you for being there for Dad last night kiddie’s. @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven. Sorry about dads moves," wrote David.

After 20 years, Victoria broke her silence on the media buzz surrounding her husband David's alleged affair with personal assistant Rebecca Loos.

Victoria revealed it was the "hardest" of her life after it was reported that her husband and his personal assistant had become close while he was playing in Spain for Real Madrid. 

"100 per cent. It was the hardest period for us. Because it felt like the world was against us," confessed Victoria, when asked about the difficult period of her marriage, as reported by dailymail.co.uk.

Victoria added: "Here's the thing, we were against each other, if I'm being completely honest. Up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.

"But when we were in Spain, it didn't really feel like we had each other either. And that's sad. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was. And how it affected me," the former singer-turned-fashion designer said.

 

 

The revelations came after the Beckhams attended the London premiere of "Beckham," a Netflix documentary that chronicles his life from childhood to his role as co-owner of US soccer team Inter Miami, on Oct. 3.

David surprised fans when his alleged relationship with Rebecca was revealed in the now-defunct News Of The World newspaper. 

Asked how they survived the crisis, David said: 'I don't know how we got through it, in all honestly. Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we're fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family.

"And what we had was worth fighting for. There were some days that I would wake up and think, 'How am I going to go to work? How am I going to walk onto that training pitch? How am I going to look as if nothing's wrong?' I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes, 'How am I going to do this?"

David said: "When I first moved to Spain it was difficult because I had been part of a club and a family for my whole career, from the age of 15 to when I was 27. I get sold overnight, and the next minute I'm in a city, and I don't speak the language. More importantly, I didn't have my family.

"Every time that we woke up we felt there was something else ... we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other but drowning," he confessed.

Victoria admitted she was not happy leaving the UK. "As soon as I could get the kids in school, we then move full-time. Did I resent David? If I am being totally honest, yes I did. It was probably, if I'm being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been in my life. It wasn't that I felt unheard because I chose to internalize a lot of it because I was always mindful of a focus that he needed."

The Beckhams will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in July. Following the crisis, Victoria said: "I feel happy now, I feel really content now. There's an element of you're passing the baton on a little. And you want that for your kids, wouldn't you say?"

David said: "Yeah, I'm not ready to pass the baton on yet."
