Victoria Beckham has opened up about trying to be the ‘best’ mum as rumours continue swirling around a possible feud involving eldest son Brooklyn.
Whispers of bad blood within the Beckham camp have existed for a while, mainly since Brooklyn’s wedding to actress Nicola Peltz, 30, in 2022.
However, they gained traction once more when the couple recently failed to attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations, at which the rest of the family, plus many A-listers, were present.
Neither Brooklyn, 26, nor David has explicitly addressed the so-called feud, except for sharing the odd declaration of father-son love online.
And it seems fashion designer Victoria, 51, is still keen to portray an image of idyllic family life.
During a trip to Dubai, the beauty guru did an interview with YouTube series Reviewed by OSA to promote the launch of her capsule collection for Ounass.
The mum-of-four, who also has Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, was asked by host Osa Machabbi: ‘Who is Victoria Beckham?’
Posh Spice replied: ‘I’d like to think I’m a good mum, a good wife. I try to be the best that I can.’
On trying to remain optimistic, she added: ‘I work hard. I like to think I’m a kind person. I’m very positive. I love a good energy.
‘I’m not trying to be perfect, I’ve never been perfect. I just want to be the best that I can be.’
Victoria continued honestly: ‘I accept my flaws. It’s just making the best of who you are. I do that through a healthy diet, working out every day, dressing in a certain way. I’m just trying to be the best me, so I can be the best mum, the best wife, the best professional.’
She later admitted to still experiencing ‘self-doubt’, but she tries not to be ‘weighed down by it’.
‘I think an element of that is always good because if not, I can imagine you would become incredibly arrogant. I am quite a humble person.’
She later teased that fans will get to see more of her home life on the small screen when her fashion documentary lands on Netflix, two years after the success of her husband David’s doc.
Hinting at a real deep dive into her as a person, she shared: ‘You’re really seeing me; I’m being very honest. I’m just being me, and let’s be honest, I am now in the hands of the editors!
‘You’re seeing me at work, but then you are seeing me with the kids a little bit and with David because the two go hand in hand.’
Victoria’s comments come after son Brooklyn discussed his relationship with David in an interview with The Sunday Times.
Discussing racing and Formula E, he said in March: ‘It’s something that me and my dad bonded over.
‘My dad’s had some pretty cool cars,’ he added, revealing that David’s number one is his ‘1954 Jaguar, which I very rarely drive, only when the weather’s perfect’.
A source previously shared to Metro that Victoria is desperately hoping Brooklyn will ‘come around’ amid their alleged feud, as she has found the fallout ‘devastating.’
‘Victoria hates to think about her family being so divided, especially with it involving one of her children. Brooklyn’s absence at David’s 50th birthday party was noticeable, and she desperately wished he would have been there,’ said the insider.
‘She’s hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are. They’ve always been a close-knit family, and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.’
It’s been said that Brooklyn and Nicola have since grown close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, even accepting a dinner invite from the Sussexes, where they bonded over shared family experiences.
