V\ufeffictoria Beckham<\/a> has doubled down amid the ongoing feud with her eldest son, saying she’s never been “pushy or forceful” with her children.<\/p>\n

During her appearance on Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast, the fashion designer inadvertently hit back at Brooklyn’s claim that she had “controlled narratives”<\/a> about him and the family his “whole life.”<\/p>\n

When talking about raising her children in the spotlight, Victoria told Grede \ufeffher children “had a very different upbringing” from her and husband David Beckham.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always wanted to be the best mum I could be and look after the kids, but I also feel that it’s been part of my job to really help them fulfil their full potential and for them to recognise what their sense of purpose is,” she said.<\/p>\n

“\ufeffAnything that I could do to support [them], to encourage, and to help … that’s my job as his mum.<\/p>\n

“It’s never about being pushy or forcing. It’s being there to support.”<\/p>\n

She went on to talk about her youngest son Cruz’s music career, and about her daughter Harper.<\/p>\n

“\ufeffI’m so proud of all of the children, but you know, Harper, she’s very ambitious,” the Spice Girl said.<\/p>\n

“She’s got big dreams. She’s finding her own sense of purpose and what she wants to do.”<\/p>\n

She also touched on how “close” the family is, saying they eat dinner together every night without the distractions of phones.<\/p>\n

Victoria went on to talk about how parenting children is different to parenting adults, avoiding talking directly about the Brooklyn situation while still seemingly hinting at it. \ufeff<\/p>\n

“\ufeffI think that it’s very different parenting adult children to parenting smaller children … I’m just trying to do the best that I can,” she said.<\/p>\n

“They grow up so quickly, it’s my job to make sure that my kids are the best versions of themselves and that they feel fulfilled.”<\/p>\n

Victoria stayed silent for weeks following Brooklyn’s bombshell statement earlier this year, in which he claimed his family constantly mistreated his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.<\/p>\n

However, she’s recently been ramping up her interview and press appearances.<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brooklyn has stayed silent \ufeffbut has continued missing major family events.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn and Nicola both skipped David’s milestone 50th celebrations last May.<\/p>\n

In the months since there were rumours circulating of a family feud, which Brooklyn confirmed in a blistering six-page statement he released on social media in January.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn made several claims about his parents, from allegations of what really happened on his wedding day to claims they controlled him and shared “performative social media posts.”<\/p>\n

Reports have also emerged that Brooklyn and Nicola have engaged lawyers to tell his parents the only way they will communicate is through them.<\/p>\n

Despite the legal letter, David and Victoria have both sent public messages to their son<\/a>, including social media posts to wish him a happy birthday in March.<\/p>\n
