Victoria Beckham Offers First Public Comment on Rift With Son Brooklyn

Her brief WSJ interview offered no rebuttal beyond a pledge of parental love.

Overview

  • Victoria Beckham, in a WSJ Magazine profile published Thursday, said she and David have always tried to be the best parents and love their children, and she did not use Brooklyn’s name.
  • Brooklyn Peltz Beckham announced in January that he does not want to reconcile, posting allegations about name-rights pressure, a canceled wedding dress, and an awkward first dance involving his mother.
  • Accounts of the wedding dance differ, with some guests backing Brooklyn’s description and others saying it was a light family moment after the couple had already danced.
  • The Beckhams have kept responses limited, with David telling CNBC that children are allowed to make mistakes and both parents sharing throwback birthday posts for Brooklyn in March.
  • Victoria said headlines have not hurt her fashion and beauty brands, and a sourced report in the Manchester Evening News says she is dreading her Friday birthday because of the estrangement.
