It was 'difficult' living apart from David

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has admitted that it was "difficult" living away from husband soccer idol David.

The stunner, who has three sons, Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, six, and four-year-old Cruz with David, said it was hard when the sportstar moved to Italy to play for AC Milan while she and the kids remained in Los Angeles, reports The China Daily.

She said: "I'm really happy being in the States so it was difficult for me going backwards and forwards trying to make everybody happy."

However, David, 34, now has moved back to the US to continue playing for Los Angeles Galaxy.

She told KIIS FM radio host Ryan Seacrest: "The children are very happy. I get up early in the morning, get the kids ready for school, take them to school, and then while they're at school, that's when I manage to get my work in.

"I have to be done by 3pm so I can go and get the kids again... they will always be our priority, both myself and David's."
