Imagine a family where every dinner is a safe space for honest conversation—Victoria Beckham says this is the secret to keeping her household together.
In a fresh interview that coincides with the release of her Netflix docuseries, the 51‑year‑old fashion icon and former Spice Girl shares how she and her husband, 50‑year‑old football legend David Beckham, keep their four children—Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—connected through open dialogue and tech‑free meals. But here's where it gets controversial: the same family that champions communication is now reportedly embroiled in a feud with their eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz. Let’s dive into the details.
During the interview, Victoria talked about the power of 'communication' in parenting. She explained that the Beckhams make it a point to sit down for dinner every night, turn off phones, and ask each other what happened that day. 'It’s a safe forum for honesty, laughter, and learning,' she said. She added that this routine has helped her children feel heard and supported, especially as they navigate the challenges of growing up in the spotlight.
The former pop star also opened up about her own mental health journey. She admitted to dealing with imposter syndrome—those nagging doubts that you’re not good enough—by seeking therapy over the years. 'I’ve had therapy, and I think it’s really healthy,' she told 'The Sun'. 'It’s something that’s so acceptable and positive to talk about out now. I’m happy to say I’ve had it.' Her candidness underscores a growing trend among high‑profile families to destigmatize mental‑health support.
When asked about her children, Victoria emphasized that encouraging them to speak up is a cornerstone of their upbringing. 'The way we’ve brought up our kids is all about communication. It’s good to talk,' she said. 'We try to have dinner together every night—phones down, ‘What has everyone done today?’—just making sure it’s a safe forum for everyone to be honest, talk, and laugh.'
The Fantastic Four
The Beckhams have been married for over two decades and share three boys—Brooklyn (26), Romeo (23), and Cruz (20)—and a daughter, Harper (14). Brooklyn, the eldest, recently married American actress Nicola Peltz, 30, in a ceremony that was initially described as a joyous family celebration. However, the couple’s wedding may have been the spark that ignited a growing rift. Social‑media posts show Brooklyn missing several family gatherings and holidays, and the family’s Instagram accounts have posted fewer photos of him in recent months. Some fans speculate that the tension began during the wedding, but both Victoria and Nicola have publicly downplayed any conflict.
The feud’s escalation is evident in the number of unfollows on social‑media platforms and the absence of Brooklyn from key family events. While the Beckhams have always prided themselves on open communication, the current situation suggests that even the most well‑intentioned family dynamics can be tested by external pressures and personal choices.
And this is the part most people miss: the way a family’s public image can mask private struggles. While Victoria’s interview paints a picture of unity, the rumored feud reminds us that no family is immune to conflict. It raises the question—can a family that values communication still experience deep rifts? And what does that say about the limits of open dialogue?
So, what do you think? Is open communication the ultimate parenting hack, or is it just a façade that can’t hold up under real‑world pressures? Do you believe therapy is a sign of strength or weakness? And how do you feel about the rumored feud between the Beckhams and Brooklyn?
