It’s not clear to either of them how they survived the crisis of 2003, but they knew back then that they had to “fight for their family.” The time when the celebrity marriage was in the headlines for months felt like they were “drowning,” the former “Spice Girls” singer recalls. The ex-England captain says in the Netflix documentary that he “felt physically ill every day” as he and Victoria tried to save their marriage.
