DAVID BECKHAM LOSES HIS $25 MILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST IN TOUCH MAGAZINE FOR CALLING HIM A CHEATER!

After a months-long court battle against In Touch Magazine, David Beckham's lawsuit has been dismissed by a U.S. district judge, according to RadarOnline.com.

Beckham sued the gossip magazine last year after a cover story featuring former "high-class call girl" Irma Nici alleged that she slept with the soccer player on more than one occasion.

The superstar athlete, 35, had his attorneys file lawsuits in Germany and the United States last September, arguing the magazine's publisher, Delaware-based Bauer Publishing Company LP, was guilty of libel, slander and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

In U.S. court declarations, Beckham went on to swear he “never met Nici, let alone committed adultery or paid her for sex."

Bauer, however, argued that they did “nothing more than report what it believed was absolutely true … based on the firsthand recollections of Irma Nici as confirmed by" other sources.

Judge Manuel L. Real agreed, Radar reported Monday, determining that the story falls under "public interest" due to his celebrity status.

The judge also reportedly found that Nici's accusations fell under free speech and that Beckham and his lawyers failed to prove the company acted with malice.

The lawsuit, which had also named Nici as a defendant, was reportedly seeking $25 million in damages.

A rep for Beckham told the Daily News that they will appeal the court's decision.

"Bauer do not dispute for purposes of this motion that their story is false," publicist Jeff Raymond said. "They have not provided one shred of evidence to support the claim this story is true. David Beckham's clear evidence proved that this is without foundation."

"We have already won a court ruling in Germany and are awaiting damages," Raymond went on to explain. "Unfortunately, the U.S. legal system requires us to show that the magazine acted maliciously. Any knowledgeable person knows this story not to be true, and we will continue to fight this in court and the decision will be appealed."

Beckham has been married to former Spice Girl, Victoria, 36, for 11 years. They have three sons together and another baby on the way.
