Beckham spend 3 million pounds to save marriage

Soccer star David Beckham desperate to save his marriage presented Christmas gifts worth three million pounds to his wife Victoria, a tabloid claimed.

Beckham presented three million pounds Christmas gifts including a 1 million pounds yacht to Victoria to salvage their troubled marriage, The News Of the World reported.

Besides the 50 feet yacht, the football star has bought her a 140,000 super car - thought to be a Bentley - as a Christmas present from sons Brooklyn and Romeo. This is on top of the 1.5 million pounds diamond ring he gave her last month and another worth 500,000 pounds that she flashed at his Buckingham Palace OBE ceremony, the paper said.

Quoting a source close to the Beckhams, it said, "The marriage has been through the mill and David is desperate to keep his family together.

"Buying Victoria the boat means they can all get together right away from pressures and relax.

"He's been looking at getting one for ages but only finally decided a few weeks ago."
