Soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria failed late Saturday for a court order to bar the News of the World from publishing allegations by the couple's former nanny, Abbie Gibson. Lawyers for Britain's No. 1 celebrity couple had argued that Gibson's contract included a promise not to speak about the couple's private lives. But the News of the World said a judge ruled in its favor on grounds that the story was in the public interest.
Gibson, 27, told the News of the World she witnessed a series of arguments between David Beckham and his wife. Gibson, who worked for the couple from August 2003 until she quit earlier this month, also claimed Victoria told her that her husband wanted to split up.
"The fact is it did start off, and Abbie says this, as a happy marriage. All the cracks appeared when they moved to Spain.
"What's clear is that Victoria is absolutely madly in love with him and would do anything to stay with him and David hasn't been feeling the same over the past few months."
David Beckham and his wife Victoria are considering taking legal action over the newspaper story about their marriage, a spokesman for the couple said Sunday.
