Dave Benett/Getty Images for Hugo Boss Victoria Beckham is finally telling her side of the story on her family’s estrangement from her oldest son, Brooklyn Beckham. “I think that we’ve always—we love our children so much. We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be,” the former Spice Girl, 51, told The Wall Street Journal’s magazine in an interview published Thursday. “And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.” The rift within the family became public after 27-year-old Brooklyn posted a series of Instagram stories in January alleging he had been “consistently disrespected” by his parents. He claimed his mother “hijacked” his and wife Nicola’s first dance at their wedding and danced “very inappropriately” with him. In the explosive statement, he also said his family “values public promotion and endorsements above all else,” and alleged that they asked him to sign away the rights to his name before the wedding. A few hours after the shocking posts, David Beckham, 50, said that children “make mistakes” on social media, adding “that’s how they learn.” A source close to the family told People the Beckhams “are afraid of losing their son” and they would “take him back in a minute.” Read it at WSJ.
