Posh and Becks are taking the News of the World to court for libel.
The couple are seeking damages over a story the tabloid ran on September 12, 2004 titled 'Posh and Becks on the Rocks'.
"The case being put against us is that we are promoting a false image of ourselves as a happily married couple," said the pair via their lawyer. "We do not deny that we promote ourselves as a happily married couple. We say it because it is true."
A rep for the newspaper said that the article had made the claim because "substantial fortunes depend upon their public perception; the claimants have been cynically and hypocritically trying, for financial reasons, to convince the public that they continue to enjoy a happy marriage."
The trial will begin December 5.
