And anything that I could do to support him, to encourage and to help him, that’s my job as his mum. “It’s never about being pushy or forcing, it’s being there to support.” Lady Beckham and former England player Sir David, known as Posh and Becks, share four children together: Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper 14.

Lady Beckham acknowledged that her children have had a “very different upbringing” to her and Sir David, 50, adding: “I think the world is a very different place now, to what it was when they were younger, and we’ve always tried to protect the children as much as we can.” She explained that the family have “always been really close” and are “quite traditional”. Asked how the scrutiny she faces has shaped how she is as a mother, Lady Beckham said: “I think that it’s very different parenting adult children to parenting smaller children and you know I’m just trying to do the best that I can, you know, and they grew up so quickly. “It’s my job to make sure that my kids are the best versions of themselves and that they feel fulfilled.

Victoria Beckham says a conversation with a fellow designer taught her to think differently about mom guilt. Charles Sykes/Bravo 2026-05-07T04:39:36.284Z Victoria Beckham says Diane von Furstenberg's advice changed how she thinks about mom guilt. "I loved her for that because as women, we do feel guilty," Beckham said. Thankfully, she can rely on her husband, David Beckham, to "tag team" their parenting responsibilities. Victoria Beckham said she started thinking differently about mom guilt after a conversation with fellow fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg. Speaking on Tuesday's episode of the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast, Beckham said there are always tradeoffs she has to make as a working mom."But I think that the key is to not feel guilty. Just do the best that you can," Beckham told podcast host Emma Grede. Recalling a conversation with von Furstenberg from years ago, Beckham said she asked the Belgian designer how she balanced motherhood and a successful career."And she said, 'Guilt is such a negative emotion. It is pointless.' And then she said, 'And darling, it's very aging,'" Beckham said, recalling von Furstenberg's words. "I loved her for that because, as women, we do feel guilty. We do feel guilty if we can't be at drop off or pick up or at a school play or if we have to travel for work. But that's what we do, and our children ultimately, I believe, will be inspired by that," Beckham said.Beckham shares four children with her husband, David Beckham, and said balancing family life and work has often been a team effort."You know, between myself and David, we tag team," she added.Every morning, the couple makes breakfast for their daughter Harper, and Beckham said her husband handles the school drop-off whenever he's not traveling.The family has always been very close, she said."Communication is really key. You know, 6 o'clock at night, every night at our house, so long as neither of us are traveling, we always eat dinner together," Beckham said, adding that they're "quite a traditional family."She said the family puts their phones away during dinner and prioritizes spending quality time together."I've always wanted to be the best mom that I could be and look after the kids, but I also feel that it's been part of my job to really help them fulfill their full potential and for them to recognize what their sense of purpos...
