Victoria Beckham is reportedly anxious that she does not spend much time with her husband David.

Earlier this week, the former Spice Girl was reportedly left in tears when she failed to meet David at Heathrow airport in between connecting flights.

The couple are currently spending a lot of time apart as Victoria lives in Los Angeles with their children and David stays in Italy to play for AC Milan.

"They are still in love with one another, but the last year has seen their lives go in two different directions," a source told The People. "David is a brilliant dad with the children, but has had to put up with only seeing them for short periods for much of the year.

"Victoria is so excited about being together as a family unit. The incident at Heathrow airport on Tuesday only magnified her difficulties in her relationship with David at the moment. The pair hadn't seen each other for over a week but managed to miss one another before boarding flights from different terminals. It's little wonder she started crying."

Victoria is reportedly also disappointed that her husband will still be working during the World Cup despite picking up an injury.

"Victoria would never stand in the way of his footballing career, but the truth is she has been left a bit upset by her husband's keenness to spend his time away from the family," the insider explained. "She'd much rather he remained in California at their home this summer, especially now that he's got this injury.

"But she's having to try and accept that however much she knows David loves her, he will never be able to give up on his drive to boost his career."
