Victoria Beckham Reacts to “Horrible” Headlines About Her Kids

by

Victoria Beckham would like the rumors about her family to stop right now.

Fashion designer Victoria Beckham, who shares four children – Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14 – with her husband David Beckham, recently opened up about how she feels when she sees her children’s names in the news.

She described the situation as “terrible” in an interview with Zanna Roberts Rassi on Today, October 15th, emphasizing that clear communication with her children and her husband, David, is a priority.

“I’m so proud of all of the kids,” Victoria, 51, continued. “They are kind. They work hard.”

As someone who keeps a close eye on family dynamics, I’ve been following the buzz around Victoria Beckham and her family. It seems there’s been talk for months now of a bit of a strain with her son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, and it reportedly started around the time of their wedding back in April of 2022. It’s always tricky when families navigate big life changes, and it’s clear this situation has been under the spotlight.

Although David and Victoria Beckham, married since 1999, haven’t publicly commented on rumors of a disagreement, Victoria recently acknowledged each of her children by name at the London premiere of her Netflix documentary, *Victoria Beckham*. This was notable because their eldest son was not present.

At an event on October 8th, Victoria Beckham mentioned her children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper – and her husband, David, jokingly adding that he’s definitely not a child anymore. She also playfully noted she was managing well without using notes or cards.

Brooklyn has said he and Nicola, 30, have learned to ignore the negativity and gossip surrounding them.

He shared with the Daily Mail in September that he doesn’t let negativity bother him, thanks to the strong support of his wife. They focus on their work and their own happiness, ignoring criticism.

Indeed, Brooklyn went on to stress the importance of keeping a positive outlook.

They added that people will always have something negative to say, but they personally just focus on enjoying themselves, like playing golf with friends. They find it a lot of fun.

Okay, so everyone *just assumed* Nicola would wear a dress designed by Victoria Beckham at her wedding to Brooklyn, you know? Like, it was a given! Victoria *is* his mom, and Nicola’s family has so much money and influence…it just seemed natural. There wasn’t actually a rule saying she *had* to, but honestly, everyone outside of the wedding planning circle fully expected it when they got married at her family’s estate in Palm Beach back in April 2022. I was *so* curious to see what she’d wear!

So when she didn’t, going with Valentino Couture instead… Bad blood alert!

Nicola kept quiet about the issue for months, but eventually confirmed there wasn’t any major conflict regarding a dress. She did hint at some letdown, though, when she learned she wouldn’t be able to wear a custom design by Victoria Beckham.

Nicola told *Variety* in August 2022 that she had originally planned to wear a dress designed by this particular designer and was very excited about it. However, a few months later, the designer informed her that her workshop wasn’t able to create the dress in time, so Nicola had to choose a different one. She clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing it, and she never expressed a desire *not* to wear it. The initial misunderstanding then grew into a larger story, as others began to speculate.

Brooklyn said she’s realized people will always try to be negative or bring others down. However, she’s happy to report that everyone on the team gets along well.

Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”

Victoria, who rarely addresses gossip, finally described the Peltz-Beckham wedding as “beautiful.”

“Seeing my son this happy is incredibly rewarding,” she shared on TODAY that October. “You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Tom Cruise and all four members of the Spice Girls attended Victoria Beckham’s lavish 50th birthday party on April 20, 2024, though her daughter-in-law was unable to make it.

Nicola quickly shared on Instagram that she was visiting her grandmother, who sadly passed away less than a month after the visit.

Nicola couldn’t make it to Victoria Beckham’s birthday party, so she shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. She wrote, “Happy birthday to my beautiful mother-in-law, Victoria! I’m so sad I can’t be there to celebrate with you and give you a hug. Sending all my love from me and my nanny. I miss you all so much!” She had also previously wished Victoria a happy birthday on April 17th, posting a picture of them together with the caption, “I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever.”

Honestly, Naunni’s death absolutely shattered Nicola, but it hit me so hard too. I saw what she posted on Instagram on May 16th, and I just… I couldn’t stop crying. She wrote about how it had been a year already, and how Naunni was always the happiest person, always making her laugh. She said she misses her so much and will love her forever, and then… then she talked about her future kids never getting to meet Naunni. It broke my heart! She’s so right, Naunni was truly one of a kind, and we all miss her every single day. It just doesn’t feel right without her.

In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing – growing up with a famous footballer father and a Spice Girl mother – and said he had a very happy childhood.

He admitted things were busy, but he also said he had amazing parents and really enjoyed himself.

Brooklyn and Nicola spent some of the holidays with Nicola’s family, the Peltzes, and photos from December showed the entire Beckham family – David, Victoria, Brooklyn, and Nicola – happily together, proving everyone was enjoying the present moment.

Victoria shared a series of photos celebrating the holidays with her family, writing, ‘Being together makes me so happy. I love you all so much!’ She also tagged her children and daughter-in-law in the post.

I’ve been following the Beckham family for years, and I noticed something a little strange about David’s 50th birthday celebration. His parents shared photos from the party in London on May 2nd, but Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of them. There hasn’t been any official explanation given, but it definitely stood out to me that they weren’t pictured with everyone else.

According to a source at TopMob News, the couple traveled to England, choosing to miss the Met Gala on May 5th, because they wanted to visit David and celebrate his birthday with him that week or weekend.

According to a source who spoke with *People* magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided not to go to David’s party because he didn’t want to encounter his brother Romeo’s girlfriend at the time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Turnbull had been attending more and more family events, like the Victoria Beckham show during Paris Fashion Week on March 7th, ever since she and Romeo publicly started dating in November.

When someone on Instagram wondered why Brooklyn Beckham chose to be with Kim instead of attending his dad’s party, Cruz Beckham, Brooklyn’s younger brother, responded by clarifying that Brooklyn and Kim were never in a romantic relationship.

TopMob News reported on June 4th that Romeo and Kim have ended their relationship, suggesting a possible reconciliation between Romeo and his brother might be helpful.

Adding to the wedding drama, the couple’s first dance didn’t go as planned, and it’s still not clear what exactly happened.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz expected Marc Anthony to perform their first dance. However, Anthony instead announced Victoria Beckham, leaving Brooklyn feeling confused and uncomfortable.

Let me tell you, weddings are emotional! I heard that Nicola actually left the reception in tears for a moment. But thankfully, she pulled herself together and was able to enjoy the rest of her special day celebrating with everyone.

While the situation was upsetting, it didn’t stop David from being best man at Marc’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, it’s easy to see why Nadia might have been more affected by it.

According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola have genuinely tried to build a relationship with his family over the years, but currently, they’re not on good terms.

On May 24th, Brooklyn Beckham shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, calling Nicola his “whole world.” He expressed his unwavering love, saying he’ll always choose her and that she’s the most amazing person he knows, promising a future together.

When accusations arise, those accused usually hire lawyers. The recent story about Nicola being upset at her wedding three years ago might be a sign of further issues to come.

Okay, so there’s been a lot of talk about Brooklyn and Nicola hiring a lawyer, and some people jumped to conclusions thinking it was about managing their public image, especially since that lawyer has worked with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But let me tell you, from what I’ve heard, that’s not the case at all. They *do* have legal representation, but it’s not for anything to do with PR or ‘reputation management,’ so you can put those rumors to rest.

Instead, they’ve brought in Jenny Afi, a lawyer from the U.K. firm Schillings, to correct inaccurate information and address the spread of misinformation.

Although the law firm represents the Sussexes – and had David and Victoria Beckham as guests at their 2018 wedding – a source confirmed there’s no link between this situation and Meghan and Harry. The source emphasized that Schillings is a well-regarded firm that works with many different clients.

The source pointed out that this situation perfectly illustrates the need for a lawyer – to correct false information and ensure the truth is known.
