The Secret to a Happy Family? Communication, Communication, Communication!
Victoria Beckham, the 51-year-old fashion designer and former pop star, has opened up about her journey as a mother in a new interview, and her words couldn't be more timely. As the world watches her family's every move, Victoria is sharing her approach to parenting her four children with husband David Beckham, 50, and it all comes down to one thing: communication.
In a world where family dynamics can be complicated, Victoria and David have made it a priority to have dinner together as a family every night, phones off and all. It's a time for open discussions, sharing stories, and laughter. "The way we've brought up our kids is all about communication," Victoria explains. "It's good to talk. We try to have dinner together every night, phones down, and just make sure it's a safe forum for everybody to be honest and talk and laugh."
But here's where it gets interesting: Victoria's approach to parenting isn't just about family dinners. She's also been open about her own struggles with mental health, seeking therapy to deal with imposter syndrome. "Yes, I've had therapy," she says. "I think it's really healthy. It's something that's so acceptable and positive to talk about now." And when it comes to her children, Victoria encourages them to talk about their feelings and experiences, creating a safe space for them to express themselves.
The Beckham Family: A Closer Look
For those who may not be familiar, Victoria and David have been married for over twenty years and share three boys and one girl together. Their eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, was born in March 1999, just a few months before the couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Ireland. Romeo, 23, was born three years later, followed by Cruz, 20, who was born in 2005. Harper Seven, 14, is the couple's only girl and was born in 2011.
Feuding Families: The Rumors Surrounding Brooklyn and Nicola
Despite Victoria and David's efforts to communicate with their offspring, rumors of a feud between the couple and their eldest son Brooklyn have been circulating. Brooklyn, who is married to American actress Nicola Peltz, 30, has been absent from several family gatherings and holidays, sparking speculation about a rift between the two families. The tension allegedly started during Brooklyn's wedding to Nicola, but both Victoria and Nicola dismissed the rumors at the time. However, Brooklyn's continued absence from events and a string of unfollows on social media have fueled the rumors of a bigger rift.
The Question on Everyone's Mind: Can Communication Really Fix Everything?
As Victoria and David continue to prioritize communication in their family, the question remains: can it really fix everything? Can open discussions and family dinners really heal the rifts that have formed between the Beckhams and the Peltzes? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Victoria and David are committed to their approach, and it's an approach that has worked for them so far.
