The Beckhams have been enjoying plenty of vacation time around the globe this summer.
In August, they visited Bali with their four children, Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13, and Harper, 7. While on the Indonesian island, they soaked up the sun, hit the beach, and spent some quality time together as a family of 6 at the exclusive Nihi Sumba resort.

“19 Years WOW … This time 19 years ago I was dressed from head to toe in purple …,” David wrote in an anniversary post shared on social media, referencing his brightly colored wedding reception suit. “Happy anniversary to the most amazing wife & mummy … Love You x @brooklynbeckham@romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven.”
Reps for the couple said in a statement to multiple outlets: “There is no statement due or divorce. This is just fake social media news. This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time. There is no statement due, no divorce, and a lot of Chinese whispers and fake social media news.”
