Victoria Beckham makes heartbreaking confession about son as she reveals big family change
David and Victoria Beckham lived their whole adult life in the public eye, but the former Spice Girl has made one huge change to the family’s life to protect them from the downside of fame.
Victoria Beckham has given a unique insight into how she’s chosen to protect herself from the spotlight after decades in the public eye and made a heartbreaking confession about her son, Romeo.
The former Spice Girl, 50, and her husband David Beckham, 49, have lived their adult lives as two of the most famous celebrities in the world – but Victoria admits her priorities have changed since having children. The couple had to deal with huge public backlash after the 1998 World Cup, in which David was sent off after kicking Diego Simeone, with England going on to lose the game on penalties.
With a 23-year-old David taking a large proportion of the blame, the reaction from the press and football fans lead David to become “clinically depressed” in the aftermath, by his own admission. With the England loss taking place the year before David and Victoria got married, unsurprisingly it tested their relationship.
Remembering how they coped, Victoria told Harper’s Bazaar: “I mean, when it happened, David was the same age that Romeo is now.
The doting mum heartbreakingly added: “But the thought of my Romeo having to go through it… I don’t know how he would handle that. I don’t know how anyone would handle that. But we didn’t have a choice.”
She added how she’s wanted a more “discreet” life for her and David’s kids, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.
