Victoria Beckham Is Being Dragged After She Used Brooklyn Beckham’s Birthday To Praise Her And David Beckham’s Parenting Skills

As I am sure you are aware, the two were the ultimate power couple back in the ‘90s, with David a hugely successful soccer player and Victoria one fifth of the Spice Girls.

The two started dating in 1997, and got married in 1999. Fast forward to 2024, and they share four children together: 25-year-old Brooklyn, 21-year-old Romeo, 19-year-old Cruz, and 12-year-old Harper.

Both David and Victoria’s Instagram pages share a picture perfect insight into their family to the delight of their millions of followers, with the couple often sharing sweet photos with their children as well as playful videos. 

However, parenting hasn’t always been plain sailing for the Beckhams. In fact, in David’s recent Netflix docuseries, Beckham, he revealed how hard it was to be a first-time dad at the peak of his and Victoria’s superstardom.

In the terrifying scene, Brooklyn cries as streams of people pound and hammer on the car while Victoria and David desperately try to comfort their son.

David also revealed that he and Victoria regularly received kidnapping threats when Brooklyn was born. Reflecting on the night of his son’s birth, David explained: “Brooklyn slept next to Victoria. Victoria was like, 'Come and squeeze on the bed with me,' and I said, 'Absolutely not.’”

“I’m sleeping with my head against the door because I was paranoid someone was going to steal him," he added. "It's meant to be a happy moment, and it was, of course. But I was worried."

Commenting on the post, one person wrote: “How peculiar that this post is aimed at how amazing she is 🤔maybe we should say this to all our children when it’s their birthday 😂”

“Make it about the son not the dad,” another said. One more added: “Weird choice of words on your son’s birthday! 🤔”

“Talk about making it about yourself and David,” somebody else commented. Another user echoed: “Its about Brooklyn today not you vic...😂”

But others understood the point that Victoria was trying to make, with one follower writing: “I love this perspective, it’s bloody hard to raise a child and we should, as parents, celebrate OUR achievement in getting a child to another birthday. Yes it’s a great for them but taking a moment to celebrate yourself and your partnership with your co-parent is good too.”

“You two are my parenting hero’s [sic]!!” somebody else agreed. “What legends you are, and dam right be proud, your beautiful children are testament to your incredible job 💖”

Subtly responding to the critics, Victoria shared a new photo of herself with Brooklyn and jokingly tagged her husband, writing: “Happy birthday @davidbeckham I love you!!!”
