David and Victoria Beckham.

I honestly don’t know them well enough, I see them in the tabloids and a documentary but are they each active and successful in their public-facing careers? Not in the same way an actor and musician would be at least.

Yes they are, or were. He has plenty of time on his hands these days. However, she had to overlook a sh*t ton of cheating over the years. I couldn't have done it. The good looking successful wealthy men at that level cheat. All of them. The only variable is whether the wife chooses to stay or not.

Keith looks like he might have a small d*ck. Just getting that vibe.

And yet most of this thread is about what a bad mother she is. DCUM never disappoints.

She didn’t “have to” pay him - it reportedly was an agreement between the two almost 20 years ago, at a time when the chances of Urban collecting big were very small.

And “most” of the thread is not anti NK - the very posts ahead of yours compliment her for an apparent good relationship with the daughters.

Way to totally miss point. It’s insane that a successful woman has to pay this absolute joke of a man money to stay off coke. He is a father. And you’re justifying this. It shouldn’t be Nicole’s responsibility for him to act even like a halfway decent dad.

YYMV but I expect more from men. It’s possible not to settle and end up with a loser ladies!

That's what the experience of rich and famous Hollywood women suggests. Please name one who ended up with an absolute gem of a husband. I can only think of Barbra Streisand and Goldie Hawn for women in their 70s. Younger than that, I'm coming up with nothing.

Not a big star but Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinz Jr. I guess, Kelly Ripa too. I’m not sure how because I cannot stand her.

Good job coming up with two! Seriously.

DP. There are a lot more. I can think of ten more at the top of my head starting with Tom Hanks:Rita Wilson and Courtney Vance/Angela Bassett.

I would add Sandra Bullock… I think Brian was truly a special guy and they would’ve been together a long time. It’s really tragic he died so young of a terminal illness.

I get the PP’s point, it’s hard for successful women for sure. It’s been hard for Nicole too, but I truly think she settled. I think the OOT displays of affection were to compensate for that.

So many here who see “going to college” (or having babies) as some sort of measure against other females.

They're set for life, can do whatever they like.

You’re misunderstanding. NK had 100% free will & agency and she apparently chose to monetarily incentivize his continued recovery. It’s not like a jury or court of public opinion just granted him $$$ - this was her negotiation 2 decades ago. He apparently abided by the terms and therefore is entitled to the payout. That’s how contracts work.

Not sure why you’re explaining contracts, that’s not the point I’m making it all

i’ll say it one more time. I think it’s truly pathetic that a successful woman has to pay a man to stay sober for the sake of their kids.

Nk and I’ll venture to say most women deserve better than this.

It's crazy but maybe it was effective?
