David Beckham, 45, and Victoria Beckham, 46, are said to have caught coronavirus after celebrating the launch of the former’s new football club Inter Miami in Los Angeles back in March. The team played their first away game at Los Angeles FC at the time, which was attended by David, Victoria, their four children and eldest Brooklyn Beckham’s now-fiancée Nicola Petlz.
Several of the couple’s relatives and staff members also contracted the virus, according to reports.
A source close to the family claimed it was an “absolute nightmare scenario” for the pair, which caused the former Spice Girls star to fear her family were “superspreaders”.
The insider said: “David was on duty for his club Inter Miami, and Victoria and the family flew down to support him.
“They attended a couple of swanky networking events as David had promotional duties, and were shaking hands and kissing fans and various club dignitaries.

David and Victoria made a full recovery and made sure their team were well by checking in on them.
The pair are also said to have sent “care packages” to at least two staff members who came down with symptoms.
David and Victoria’s representatives declined to comment when approached by Express.co.uk.
Although they kept their reported illness a secret from fans, the stars kept their Instagram followers up to date with their lockdown experience at their Cotswold estate.
