Victoria Beckham still hasn’t mended her rift with her and David Beckham’s son, Brooklyn.
The former Spice Girl addressed their estranged relationship for the first time in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Thursday (April 16).
“I think that we’ve always—we love our children so much,” Beckham said when asked about Brooklyn, though she didn’t directly say his name. “We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be.”
The celebrity couple shares four children: 27-year-old Brooklyn, 23-year-old Romeo, 21-year-old Cruz, and 14-year-old Harper.
Victoria Beckham continued, “And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.
“Being a parent of young adult children and adult children, gosh, I mean, it’s very different from having little children,” she added.
Brooklyn Beckham reportedly broke away from the family after marrying his wife, 31-year-old actress and model Nicola Peltz, in 2022.
In January, he slammed his parents, accusing them of trying to “ruin” his marriage, adding that he does not want to “reconcile.”
“I’m not being controlled. I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he wrote on Instagram. “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
David Beckham later responded to his son’s rant during a CNBC panel discussion.
“Children are allowed to make mistakes—that’s how they learn,” the former soccer star said. “That’s what I try to teach my kids. But you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”
