Victoria and David Beckham are some of the few A-list celebrity couples that still post each other during candid and sometimes ridiculous situations that give authentic glimpses into their daily lives.

Victoria Beckham recently used one of these posts to announce that she is suffering from a broken foot after falling over in the gym.
Victoria’s unfortunate injury
On Thursday, David Beckham took to Instagram to share a photo of his wife’s foot in a medical boot
Apparently, my wife’s little accident in the gym was a clean break
Victoria posted a photo of her feet under an ice pack this past Valentine's Day and captioned it:
Happy Valentine’s Day to me… fell over in the gym!!!
She explained that she fell over in the gym. Her husband made sure to tease her and shared the post in his own story stating:
How big’s your toe? Wow. I never noticed that before.
However, it wouldn’t be long until Posh Spice got her revenge as the couple shared a gift she had given David—a magazine about chickens, which comes after she got him a ‘massive cock’ for Christmas.
Victoria’s foot has been injured before
This is not Victoria’s first time getting injured. She had suffered a stress fracture in 2018 that made her rest and change her footwear choices drastically. In a previous statement, Victoria Beckham clearly demonstrated her disdain for comfort over aesthetics:
I beyond hate ballerina flats. I can't walk in them. Unless they're on a ballet dancer doing ballet, I just don't get it. I love heels. I hate my feet - they are the most disgusting thing about me
In an interview with Glamour in 2008 she exclaimed:
I just can’t concentrate in flats, I could go to the gym if I wore flats, I’d love to go to the gym, but I just can’t get my head around the footwear.
However, she was recommended to stop wearing her beloved platforms in 2001 but it took her 10 years to come to terms with that so in 2011 she hung up her stilettos forever. After giving birth to daughter Harper, Victoria suffered a slipped disc in her back.
Speaking to the Telegraph she said:
I just can’t do heels any more. At least not when I’m working. I travel a lot. Clothes have to be simple and comfortable.
A source told Entertainment Daily:
Friends of the star said that wearing high heels in pregnancy may have led to Mrs Beckham’s slipped disc.
It looks like Victoria did in fact go to the gym more when she gave up her heels, since she is now known for her rigorous routine and posts often of herself in her private gym.
Unfortunately, it now looks like she will have to take some time away from the gym to tend to her injury.
