Several days after opera singer Katherine Jenkins took to Twitter to deny allegations of an affair with David Beckham, friends of the family say Victoria Beckham is puzzled by the propagation of the hurtful story.

"[Victoria] is bemused by the whole thing," a source told The Daily Mail.

Victoria doesn't want her family to be pulled into a "soap opera" caused by Jenkins' public denial, but she also understands why the singer would have wanted to clear her name.

"Victoria understands why Katherine would want to defend herself against these allegations," the source said.

Beckham family friends are confident the couple won't let these rumors infiltrate their relationship.

"Victoria and David have been through a lot and love each other," a source said. "There's no way she'd let the family get dragged into a Twitter soap opera. The rumors are not true, but that doesn't stop them being hurtful."

Jenkins took to Twitter on Aug. 24 to address she rumors directly.

"Dear Twitter friends, I've read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 know I absolutely deny I've had an affair with David Beckham," she wrote.

Jenkins added: "The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable."

Jenkins said she and Beckham had only met one another twice, and on neither occasion were they ever alone together.
