Victoria Beckham, the former Spice Girls member turned celebrated fashion designer and entrepreneur, recently premiered her highly anticipated Netflix documentary Victoria Beckham in London. The star-studded event was attended by her husband, David Beckham, and their three younger children—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. But what truly caught public attention was Victoria’s emotional speech during the premiere, where she made a heartfelt mention of her eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, despite ongoing rumors of a family rift that have persisted since 2022.
At the world premiere held on October 8, 2025, at The Curzon Mayfair in London, Victoria took to the stage to thank her family and express her gratitude for their unwavering support. In her speech, she made sure to name all four of her children, including Brooklyn, while also showing appreciation for her husband. With emotion in her voice, Victoria said:
“My children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, Harper — and David — oh my God, he’s not a child! I was doing so well without cards as well! You know, it’s taken me this process to really be proud of what I’ve achieved and to realize finally that I am enough. (Thank you David Beckham) for convincing me and then forcing me, giving me no choice. Working on this has been a very emotional experience.”
The mention of Brooklyn drew attention because of the long-standing speculation that the Beckhams have been estranged from him and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham. Reports of a family rift first surfaced in 2022 following the couple’s wedding. Since then, Brooklyn and Nicola have been noticeably absent from several key Beckham family gatherings, fueling further rumors of tension. According to PEOPLE, the couple even skipped David Beckham’s milestone 50th birthday celebration in London earlier this year, despite receiving an invitation. A family source at the time told the outlet, “There are tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family. The relationship is definitely not beyond repair. They love and are always there for him. They’re just hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”
Victoria’s choice to include Brooklyn in her public acknowledgment during such a significant moment seems to hint at her desire to bridge gaps within the family. It was a subtle but meaningful gesture that resonated with many fans who have followed the Beckhams’ journey for decades.
Born on April 17, 1974, Victoria Beckham first gained global fame in the 1990s as “Posh Spice” in the iconic pop group, the Spice Girls. After a brief solo music career, she successfully transitioned into the fashion industry, becoming a respected designer and businesswoman. In July 1999, she married football legend David Beckham in Ireland, and together they built one of the most recognized families in the world. The couple shares four children: Brooklyn (born in 1999), Romeo (2002), Cruz (2005), and Harper (2011).
Through her Netflix documentary and her moving speech, Victoria not only reflected on her journey of self-acceptance but also subtly reaffirmed the importance of family—perhaps signaling that healing and reconnection could be on the horizon for the Beckhams.
