The former Spice Girl was expected to end their relationship following tabloid reports of David's alleged affair with his ex-PA Rebecca Loos two years ago, but Victoria is delighted that they were strong enough to stay together.

"We've had a fair amount of crap thrown at us and it can be very upsetting. If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger," she told the Australian edition of Harper's Bazaar magazine.

"I think we are a very strong family. We love each other to pieces. You work things out if you really love someone. It's easy to give up and a lot of people do. But I look back now and see it has made me a stronger person."
