Victoria Beckham Defends So‑Called 'Nepo Babies,' Citing Son Cruz's Grassroots Music Path

Her comments came in a Netflix docuseries promo interview that urged patience for young artists.

Overview

  • In remarks first published by The Sun and widely republished this week, Beckham said it is "not their fault" that celebrity children face the label and asked the public to "give them a chance."
  • She pointed to 20-year-old Cruz Beckham as an example, noting he taught himself multiple instruments, writes his own songs, formed a band, and is building his career from the ground up.
  • Beckham emphasized that kindness matters more than ambition and advised young creatives not to expect immediate success.
  • The fashion designer and former Spice Girl shares four children with David Beckham: Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.
  • Separately, tabloid outlets cited unnamed sources claiming she is privately concerned about Cruz's relationship and family tensions, which remain unverified and not independently confirmed.
