Victoria Beckham breaks silence on family amid drama with son Brooklyn

Victoria Beckham will be the first to tell you that motherhood is no walk in the park.

The fashion designer and Spice Girls alum, whose son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham went public with his estrangement from his family, opened up about parenting in an interview with WSJ Magazine published Thursday, April 16.

"I think that we've always — we love our children so much," said Beckham, who shares four children with husband and soccer veteran David Beckham. "We've always tried to be the best parents that we can be."

In January, Peltz Beckham criticized his famous family in a series of scathing posts on social media, following years of rumors of a feud between the eldest Beckham son, wife Nicola Peltz Beckham and his parents.

Peltz Beckham leveled several allegations of mistreatment against Victoria and David, saying his parents had "been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding." Regarding his mother, Peltz Beckham accused Victoria of abruptly pulling out of making wife Nicola's wedding dress, as well as dancing inappropriately at the wedding ceremony.

While Beckham didn't go into detail about her son's comments, she acknowledged the intense scrutiny that comes with her family's fame.

"We've been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we've ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children," Beckham said. "And you know, that's all I really want to say about it."

In March, both Beckham and her husband David extended an olive branch to Peltz Beckham by wishing him a happy birthday on social media. For her tribute, Beckham posted old family photographs of Peltz Beckham, accompanied by the caption: "Happy 27th Birthday Brooklyn, I love you so much."

In his original social media posts, Peltz Beckham said he had no desire to reconcile with his family, adding that he was "standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

"My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation," he wrote at the time. "All we want [is] peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
