They have been bound by a love of all things fashionable and a wicked sense of humour since they became friends in fickle Los Angeles nine years ago.

Reality star and fellow businesswoman Eva, 40, said of her friendship with the wife of former footballer David Beckham: 'We're best friends and have shares lots of life lessons together.'

'What we talk about is between us but we've been through ...stuff... together.'
Indeed since the Beckhams moved Stateside in 2007, Eva and Victoria were drawn together by their shared love of glamorous clothes and a similar humour.
Over that time, Eva has endured several failed romances before finding love with Mexican businessman Jose Baston, 47, whom she has been dating for more than a year.

No doubt she turned to Victoria when her four-year marriage to Spurs' Tony Parker collapsed and ended in divorce in 2010.
At the time Eva claimed she discovered hundreds of text messages from another woman on his phone.
And when her romance with Eduardo Cruz, Penelope Cruz's younger brother, went from bad to worse, only to be rekindled years later in 2013, no doubt Victoria lent a caring ear.

Close: Eva supported Victoria at the launch of her London store last year. She shared an Instagram snap at the time, writing 'So great to be in London with my girl!'
For her part Eva has always been at Victoria's side when it has counted.
She jetted to London to support her pal when she launched her London store last year and in May she flew straight from Spain - where she had been a bridesmaid at her friend's wedding - to Morocco for David's 40th.
There she joked around with Victoria's eldest son Brooklyn, 16, about their ongoing battle for more Instagram followers.
Furious, almost, that he had acquired an impressive two million followers on his Instagram page (now 3.4million), compared to her 1.4million, she shared a snap of them on the photo-sharing site asking: 'How did this happen?'
How? Eva spent time with Brooklyn Beckham at his father David's birthday bash in Marrakech and she couldn't quite believe the teen had beaten her to two million Instagram followers
'Moroccan nights': Brooklyn shared a picture of him and long-time family pal Eva L from the extravagant party for his father's landmark birthday
On Thursday, Eva told Daily Mail Australia: 'I've seen Brooklyn grow up so I was very upset that he beat me to a million followers on Instagram. He got there first. He's very proud of that. We're always joking on Instagram.'
She added: 'The one thing about Instagram that I love is photos. Every time you want to tell the world something, you can just do it with a picture.'
Eva and Victoria have previously spoken of their sleepovers at each other's LA homes.
'I'm the new Spice Girl!' Eva posed with reunited Spice Girls (l-r) Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Victoria Beckham at David's bash
'When we hang out, we just stay home and talk, eat and laugh,' Eva had told the Express newspaper in 2012.
The Texan-born beauty arrives Down Under with beau Jose next month to judge the Specsavers' search for Australia’s most stylish spec-wearer.
Meanwhile, she is making her return to television in new NBC show Hot and Bothered, a comedy series about the daily life of a soap star who does not speak Spanish.
