Victoria Beckham 'leaves Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller for Adele's agency'

Victoria Beckham has reportedly parted ways with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller - and 'replaced him' with the agency that helped make Adele a global superstar.

The former Spice Girl singer, who did not join the band for their highly anticipated UK reunion tour this summer, has worked with music mogul Fuller for more than 25 years.

Instead, Beckham is reportedly set to work with one of showbiz's biggest talent producers, William Morris Endeavour Entertainment.

The agency, which also represents Calvin Harris, Jim Carrey and Jerry Springer, played a part in making Adele one of the biggest names in music.

A source told The Sun: “Simon Fuller has been instrumental in Victoria’s career since the day he formed the Spice Girls , but more recently their relationship has not been as strong.

"She and David bought back his stake in their biggest business and they have become increasingly hands on with their own business affairs, which has frozen Simon out.”

They added: "And now she’s taken on the biggest agency in the world to find new opportunities.”

A representative for Beckham told Standard Online: “Simon Fuller continues to be a director and shareholder in Victoria’s business Victoria Beckham Ltd, nothing has changed.

"In addition WME [William Morris Endeavour] are now representing Victoria personally as well as the VB Brand for commercial partnerships.”

Standard Online contacted Fuller's management company XIX Entertainment for further comment.

Over 20 years ago, Fuller is thought to have predicted that Victoria and husband David could become a powerhouse celebrity brand.

In 1995, Fuller reportedly said: “Victoria’s glamour and David’s sex appeal and sporting prowess could over the long-term create a $1 billion brand.”

They've certainly proved they have staying power and they are now reportedly worth a billion US dollars (roughly £769 million).

Their cash flow comes from a combination of Victoria’s £100m luxury fashion line, David’s endorsement deals and other enterprises.
