Rio Ferdinand says he has ‘never seen Victoria Beckham eat anything’
Retired English footballer Rio Ferdinand has opened up about his friendship with David and Victoria Beckham.
The BT Sport pundit, 44, and Inter Miami president, 47, both represented England in the World Cup, and Rio would sometimes dine with the Beckhams during training.
While speaking to Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O on Thursday, host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson admitted she was ‘obsessed’ with what Victoria eats because she is a notoriously picky eater.
Rio responded: ‘I’ve never seen her eat anything. I don’t remember anything that sticks out of my memory, to be honest.’
‘Was she nice?’ Jackie then asked him, to which Rio replied: ‘Yeah, she is nice.’

Back in July, Victoria offered insight into her ‘extreme’ diet after her husband David admitted she ‘only eats grilled fish and vegetables’.

Victoria’s comments come after a TV chef revealed the star’s ‘complicated’ dinner demands when she and David attended Sergio Ramos’ wedding in 2019, where she constantly requested ‘bowls of mints and coconut water’.
Following David’s comments about her diet in a recent interview, Victoria told Vogue: ‘I mean, talk about making me sound boring! No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who’s more disciplined with the way that they eat.
‘I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to.

‘I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.’
Earlier this year David offered insight into Victoria’s eating habits while discussing his own favourite foods during an interview on the River Che Table 4 podcast.
He said: ‘I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it.
‘Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.
‘Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.’
