When she turned to David for money, it hurt their marriage.
"For her to say, 'We need some money, the business needs more money,' that was hard for both of us," said David, 50. "Because I didn't have the money to keep doing this, and eventually I was like, 'This cannot continue.'"
The former Spice Girl's husband touches on their past money woes in her Netflix docuseries, Victoria Beckham, and her love of plants.
"She loved plants," David says of Victoria in the doc. "And it was costing her £70,000 ($93,000) a year. And then there was someone who was coming to water the plants for £15,000 ($19,000) a year, and that's only the beginning!"
The ex-athlete admitted he had never seen something "as hard as this to fix."
He continued: "So I went her, and I decided to just tell the truth, exactly the way it is, and I didn't know how she'd react. I said, 'Victoria, we have to change everything, restructure the business, and that's gonna be painful.'"
