Victoria Beckham has said she still can’t believe she has a married son after Gwyneth Paltrow light-heartedly branded the situation “f*****g weird”. Victoria and David Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, 25, tied the knot with actress Nicola Peltz, 29, at her father’s Palm Beach estate in Florida back in 2022 as part of a three-day celebration.
Reflecting on the moment on her Goop podcast, Gwyneth, 51, asked Victoria, 50: “How is it having a married kid? That is so f*****g weird.” In response, the Spice Girl said: “I know, how did that happen?”
Expressing her shock further, the former actress exclaimed: “A married kid!”, which prompted Victoria to say: “You know, time goes so quickly, I feel like I just had Brooklyn five minutes ago and here he is, you know, married and living over the other side of the world.”
Gwyneth, who was previously married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, went on to suggest that Victoria will become a grandmother soon, to which she responded: “I don’t know what I’m going to be called, my goodness, I don’t know.”
It’s not the first time the mother-of-four has discussed becoming a nanny should any of her four choose to have children. In an interview with Vogue Magazine earlier this year, Victoria was taken aback when she was asked if she was “excited to be a grandmother”.
Visibly stunned, she replied: “Oh, Jesus! What? Hang on. I don’t think it’s happening just yet. Unless you guys know something that I don’t, it’s not happening just yet.”
The fashion designer went on to recall an inspiring and relatable conversation she had with Vogue’s Anna Wintour, who has three grandchildren.
She spilled: “The last time I was with Anna, I was like, ‘Anna, what do your grandchildren call you?’ And she said to me, ‘Anna’.”
Inspired by her response, Victoria added: “And I was like, ‘Well, that is very elegant.’ So maybe I’ll take that route. But it’s not happening just yet.
“Hopefully one day if I am blessed, then that will be wonderful — but we’re not there just yet.”
Victoria and David, who married in 1999, have four children together; Brooklyn, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12.
During her chat with Gwyneth, the singer turned designer went on to discuss her parenting approach and how it had benefited her kids.
She continued: “We are strict. I think it’s all about communication, we really are a close family and I think it’s all about being present and communicating.
“I really do feel like I’ve been the best mum that I could be, but at the same time it hasn’t been at the compromis of my relationship with my husband.
“I’ve also been able to have a career and that’s because I’ve had a support system with my parents and David’s parents as well, who have been very involved with bringing the children up.”
Gushing over her family, she went on to say: “I’m proud of all the kids, they all work really hard.
“They all have their individual passions. They are nice, sweet, kind, hardworking and humble humans.”
