They've hardly been seen together in the same country for longer than a day or two.
But today David and Victoria Beckham emerged together from a rare week-long family holiday at their home in France after spending some quality time together with their three children.
It was a rare spell out of the glare of the public eye, as little was seen of the high-profile celebrity couple as they bunkered down in the French Riviera after news emerged of Victoria's operation to reduce her bust.
And it must have been a real treat for Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, six, and Cruz, three to have their famous parents, who are currently living apart with David in Milan, and Victoria in Los Angeles - together again.

Victoria has been recovering from the latest round of cosmetic surgery to reduce the size of her breasts.
The 35-year-old mother of three showed off a less busty frame in a tight grey top matched with denim cut-off shorts and high-heeled boots.
And just to make sure he matched perfectly, husband David chose a rather appropriate flat cap for himself.
The couple left the French Rivera on a private jet accompanied by their three sons, Brooklyn, ten, Romeo, six and Cruz, four.
Mrs Beckham is said to have had the reduction, believed to be her third bout of breast surgery, last month in the hope of toning down her WAG shape.
She saw a Los Angeles surgeon and had a set of implants removed which reduced her bust size from a generous 34DD to a less obtrusive 34B.

A source told The Sun last week: 'Victoria has wanted her implants taken out for a while. She felt that was part of her old WAG image - the big hair, big boobs and fake tan - and that she has moved on since those days.
'She had the op three weeks ago and is very pleased with the results.
'After the operation she came to London for business and then went to France to heal properly in private.'
Victoria's spokeswoman has declined to comment on the surgery.
It is believed to be the former Spice Girl's third procedure on her breasts, with the first in 1999 when she had her natural 34A bust increased to a 34D at a London clinic.

In 2001, she was said to have had them increased even further to a 34DD, but publicly she repeatedly denied she had gone under the knife.
In a BBC interview in 2003, she said: 'I'm completely natural.'
But in 2005, she was forced to admit she hadn't been entirely honest after court papers revealed she had 'undergone breast enhancement surgery and had lied about it'.
Meanwhile David will end his six-month stint with Italian football club AC Milan next month.
The England star will rejoin LA Galaxy on July 11, with his first match scheduled five days later.
