Victoria Beckham Doubles Down On “Working Class” Claims

Reflecting on her journey as a mother, Victoria said: “[David and I] woke up this morning and said, ‘We’re so proud of the kids, they’re such great, kind, sweet, humble, funny, hardworking young adults.’ Getting that balance is very difficult. I struggled with that a lot when the children were younger.”

“We’ve never had an enormous amount of staff, if you like,” she continued. “We do have nannies and we do have our parents, who have been amazing. But you do feel like you’re juggling. You’re trying to be the best wife, the best mom, the best professional. We didn’t have much of a social life when the children were younger, that is just that one thing too much.”

“Being a wife, mom, and fulfilling your dreams in regards to what your passions are, and what you love to do in regards to work, was enough,” Victoria added. “But then the kids get older and they flee the nest and have their own passions. Now myself and David are in the next chapter.”

And Nicole could relate to this feeling, replying: “We’re in the same boat as you — we put so much into the family and a lot of our social life didn’t exist, and now we need to make new friends, get out more, say yes.”

“When you’re raising kids, [you say] ‘I can’t actually go to that’, or you’re sick and canceling, or you’ve got to work, and the one thing that’s going to fall is going out and creating new groups of friends,” Nicole went on. “Now we’re older, so we’re going, OK, we as a couple have to find our next step in the world and not just based on us doing stuff as a family.”
