Victoria Beckham insists 'I'm a good mum' after family fallout with 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'. More Trending
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.

Emma Corrin is seen for the first time as Elizabeth Bennet on the set of Netflix's Pride and Prejudice
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a good fortune must surely be in want of a… dog? What Jane Austen would have made of this is anyone's guess. But these exclusive pictures show Emma Corrin for the first time as Elizabeth Bennet in Netflix's new production of Austen's Pride And Prejudice – and they suggest The Crown star is taking the character's sharp wit and independent spirit to heart. Emma, in period costume and curly wig, was seen cuddling beloved dog Spencer between takes on set – proving, just as in the novel, that important relationships can take many forms. The star was later spotted on a rooftop looking even less like a Georgian heroine, laughing with Freya Mavor, who plays Elizabeth Bennet's sister Jane, and eating a banana. Emma also appeared to grimace with trepidation while gingerly descending some scaffolding. The 29-year-old, who won plaudits playing a young Princess Diana in The Crown, is often seen walking Spencer near their home in Margate and in north London, where the actor shared a £5million home with Bohemian Rhapsody Oscar winner Rami Malek, 44. But like Lizzy Bennet, the star's love life has become tangled, splitting with Malek earlier this year and now said to be dating Zachary Hart, who appeared with Emma on stage in a production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. The hotly anticipated adaptation of Austen's 1813 novel is also set to star Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden as eligible Mr Darcy and Olivia Colman as Emma's determined mother Mrs Bennet. Other star names released by Netflix include Rufus Sewell as Mr Bennet and Killing Eve's Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Sadly for some, Jack Lowden will not replicate Colin Firth's famous scene from the 1995 TV adaptation, which saw him emerge dripping wet from a lake – getting female viewers' hearts racing. This year marks 250 years since Austen's birth. The six-part Netflix series, written by Dolly Alderton, will be on screens early next year. However, Netflix recently sparked uproar after releasing a first look at the casting for the new Pride & Prejudice series - with some fans now threatening to boycott it altogether. On Friday, Netflix shared a picture on social media of the Bennet women on set. The films stars shared a quiet moment as they took in the view below Freya and Emma smiled at each other and giggled as they filmed the first scenes as the two eldest Bennet sisters Freya was seen holding a vintage monocular telescope amid filming The actress looked out of the telescope while Emma watched on 'We know you've been yearning for a sneak peek. Pride & Prejudice is officially in production,' the post read. 'Here's a first look featuring Emma Corrin, Freya Mavor, Olivia Colman, Hopey Parish, Rhea Norwood and Hollie Avery as the Bennet women.' But fans immediately rushed to the comments to express their distaste at the prospect as one wrote: 'Not to self: unsubscribe from Netflix immediately, today,' someone wrote. 'This casting is awful what the f**k,' another added. 'You cannot be serious,' someone else said. 'Oh help… praying this isn't a cock up like Persuasion. 'Actually scratch that… this is a reminder to me to unsubscribe,' another shared. Other members of the cast include Jamie Demetriou as Mr Collins, Daryl McCormack as Mr Bingley, and Louis Partridge as Mr Wickham, per Variety. While Freya had no issues with the steps, Emma appeared to be much more trepidatious More actors include Rhea Norwood as Lydia Bennet and Siena Kelly as Caroline Bingley, while Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery are making their acting debuts as Mary Bennet and Kitty Bennet respectively. The director and screenwriter of Heartstopper, Euros Lyn and Dolly Alderton, respectively, are taking on the series. 'Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story, and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it,' Alderton said in a statement, per the outlet. 'Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life.' The limited series will finish filming in the UK at the end of 2025, per What's On Netflix.

Romeo Beckham spotted at Oasis gig with footballer as he risks telling off from dad
Wembley Stadium hosted Romeo Beckham and Manchester City player John Stones in its VIP section for Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher's latest Oasis reunion gig tonight The audience at Oasis ' latest concert at Wembley Stadium included Romeo Beckham tonight. He was spotted in the crowd at the venue in London beside a footballer who plays for a rival squad to David Beckham 's favourite team. Romeo, 22, has been spotted at the gig, which is the band's fourth performance at the stadium on the Oasis Live '25 tour, this evening. The model was seen alongside footballer John Stones, 31, in an exclusive section of the venue. He appeared to be in good spirits in photos that show him waiting for the reunited rock band to take to the stage earlier tonight. It comes after Wayne Rooney is banned from watching son, 15, play football for sad reason. The photos showed Romeo in the VIP area of Wembley Stadium, which welcomed a host of other celebrities last weekend. He was spotted beside Manchester City player John, who plays for England internationally, in the crowd. Romeo, who supports Arsenal, was seen smiling and talking whilst in the exclusive section, which is located on the lower level on the venue. He was seen speaking to John "at length" whilst they waited for Oasis to perform at the gig. His father David notably played for Manchester United for more than a decade instead. A life-long fan of the team, he's poked fun over being rivals with Man City, supporting by Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher, over the years. It included after he had watched the documentary Oasis Knebworth 1996, which was released in 2021. Alongside a photo of himself and pal Noel, football manager David wrote in a post on social media: "What a great film mate … Oasis at Knebworth 1996 … Absolutely loved it … Took me right back to the good old 90's when United were winning everything." David has himself been teased over his loyalty to United. As reported at the time, Romeo trolled his father in 2023 after the retired footballer's team lost 3-2 to Arsenal in a match at Emirates Stadium that they had both attended.

Alongside a post-match selfie showing them stood outside the stadium following his team's victory, Romeo wrote in a message to his father on Instagram at the time: "Sleep tight dad." David responded on the platform: "Whatever." David has previously spoken about Romeo not supporting United and reportedly once said that he was "disappointed" when he found out about his love of Arsenal. He's said that he let his children support who they want to though. Speaking to Shortlist in 2012, he said: "I tried to get Man United shirts on them early." David then confirmed that Romeo supports Arsenal and told the outlet that he believes it was prompted by attending one of their games once. David said that former manager Arsene Wenger treated Romeo "so well at the game," including having given him a personalised shirt. David, who said he had a similar experience with United growing up, added: "I let them support whoever they want. They don't have to support the teams I played for."
