The couple, who have been married for almost 20 years, were at the centre of divorce rumours after a leaked email found its way into the public arena.

It wasn’t long, however, before the Beckhams quashed the rumour with a statement pertaining to their marriage.

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.

But if you thought that was the end of the matter, you’ve another think coming.

According to prweek.com, the PR responsible for the leak has been suspended, pending an investigation.

Confirming the suspension, the PR company at the centre of the rumour – The Communications Store – issued a statement today, elaborating on the details of the matter.

In this case, a junior employee was commenting to her family members on gossip that was already circulating on Twitter. Although that should never have happened, she did not originate anything. The HR team at TCS are dealing with this member of staff in the correct manner.

On Friday, Paddy Power stopped accepting bets on on the high-profile relationship.
