Victoria Beckham<\/a> wasn\u2019t looking to spice up her life in 2008.<\/p>\n

But her husband, David Beckham, \u201cguilted\u201d her into participating in the Spice Girls reunion tour at the time.<\/p>\n

Posh spice, 51, opened up about getting back together with the group, which included Mel B, Geri Halliwell, Melanie C and Emma Bunton, in her Netflix docuseries,\u00a0\u201cVictoria Beckham.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDavid was like, \u2018it\u2019s really good for the kids to see you do this,’\u201d she recalled, per\u00a0The Independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe mum-guilted me!,\u201d Victoria noted.<\/p>\n

David, 50, chimed in that the reason he wanted his wife to do the tour was because \u201cour kids weren\u2019t around to see their mum be a Spice Girl!\u201d <\/p>\n

The couple tied the knot in 1999 and are parents to sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14.<\/p>\n

The Spice Girls first formed in 1994, before Halliwell, 53, departed the girl group in 1998.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s exit led to a hiatus in late 2000 with the ladies splitting up for good in 2001. <\/p>\n

Victoria went on to detail how she felt stepping foot on stage again in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t been Posh Spice for such a long time. It was good to be back with them,\u201d she recounted. <\/p>\n

The group reunited once more in 2019, but Victoria declined the offer. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good to celebrate the Spice Girls but it was during that [2008] tour that I realized I didn\u2019t belong on stage. It had been fun but it wasn\u2019t what I loved anymore,\u201d the mom of four confessed.<\/p>\n

Since stepping away from music, Victoria has found a passion behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

The media mogul became a fashion designer in 2008 and created her iconic namesake brand. <\/p>\n

She is also the founder of Victoria Beckham Beauty. <\/p>\n

However, in April 2024, the women did give fans a taste of a mini reunion at\u00a0Victoria\u2019s 50th birthday party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month, Mel B, 50, teased the possibility of a more official get together<\/a> ahead of the British group\u2019s 30-year anniversary of their 1996 debut album, \u201cSpice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope so,\u201d she told The Post. \u201cSo many things that have been talked about between us and the press, my kids, their kids, us [as a] lot,\u201d adding that plans are set in stone.<\/p>\n

But Victoria may not be up to participate. <\/p>\n

In fact, in her docuseries, the designer admitted that she was \u201churt\u201d by one of Mel B\u2019s recent comments. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt upset me not too long ago actually \u2013 Melanie B said to me \u2018don\u2019t forget where you\u2019ve come from,’\u201d Victoria shared on camera.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never forgotten where I\u2019ve come from. I have never forgotten that Posh Spice is the reason that I\u2019m sitting here now. She might have been grumpy but she was actually great.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Halliwell, Bunton, 49, and Mel C, 51, were in attendance at the red\u00a0carpet premiere of the three part doc. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the docuseries also dove into a difficult time in Victoria and David\u2019s marriage.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2016,\u00a0Victoria\u2019s fashion brand<\/a>\u00a0was growing and getting \u201cgreat reviews,\u201d but it was \u201cslipping through my fingers,\u201d she recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Victoria added that David was \u201cinvesting a lot\u201d in her business, and \u201cwe were tens of millions of pounds in the red.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me panic. I was panicked by it. Because I never saw anything coming back,\u201d David said onscreen, referring to his investment in his wife\u2019s business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The retired athlete explained, \u201cWe always agreed that we would support each other no matter what, but it worried me. This isn\u2019t sustainable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2017, Victoria\u2019s business was ultimately saved by investor David Belhassen.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

But before Belhassen got involved, \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to do\u2026.I felt embarrassed\u2026I was really desperate,\u201d Victoria expressed.<\/p>\n

When she went home to her husband, \u201cI would talk to him about it, and I hated it, I absolutely hated it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2016, \u201cWe both sat there, and we looked at what I invested\u2026part of that conversation broke my heart, because Victoria is a proud woman,\u201d David detailed.<\/p>\n
