It's been less than a year since England's star couple arrived in the United
States, but rumors are heating up that David and Victoria Beckham and their
children might be headed back home.
David's first season with the L.A. Galaxy¡ªthe team that has him under a
US$250 million, five-year contract¡ªwas a huge disappointment because injuries
that kept him off the pitch during many games. Add to that are reports his whole
family is in the U.K., and he wants to be closer to them.
"He'd be very happy if someone would buy out his Galaxy contract," a source
told OK! magazine.
There's also the topic of Victoria Beckham's denim line, dVb.
"It's done about US$15 million in retail when it was expected to have done
US$50 million by now," a well-placed retailer told OK!
Reps for the Beckhams say the clothing line is "doing well," and there aren't
plans for David to get out of his contract and move. However, another
well-placed Beckham source said the move to the United States hasn't been as
seamless as originally hoped, and the change in Victoria's fame status has had
something to do with that.
"The Spice Girls reunion tour really was a bright light for her, it was a
complete success," said the source. "However, it really did make it clear to
Victoria how different her life is here. She's got some decisions to make."
