Victoria Beckham admits she avoided watching the final episode of her husband David’s Netflix series until she found the right time to sit down and tune in.
The couple allowed cameras into their homes for an account of family life in the Beckham household, and a candid look at David’s successful football career.
But Victoria, who celebrated her 50th birthday on April 17, was reluctant to watch the emotional final installment, which ends with the couple dancing to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s hit Islands In The Stream, until it was released on the streaming service. transmission.
The former Spice Girl, who admits she has never felt comfortable in front of television cameras, said Sunday Times Style: ‘It was on a flight to Miami when we finally saw her.
‘David suggested we have a bottle of wine. “It was a nice moment, we both felt very proud.”
Victoria Beckham admits she avoided watching the final episode of her husband David’s Netflix series until she found the right time to sit down and tune in.
The four-part series followed the Beckham family around the world, from their family homes in London and the Cotswolds to Los Angeles and Florida, where David co-owns MLS side Inter Miami.
It was a two-year job and Victoria admits that it was sometimes difficult to analyze its checkered history.
“I don’t get nervous when I perform, but it was certainly a real process. Going over all that again can be… There are also things that are hard to remember.
‘Like, fisherman [Stevens, the series’ director] “It would be a goal that David scored 25 years ago and that can make you quite anxious.”
Famous for her trademark pout, the former Spice Girl admits that the only thing that has changed with age is her increasingly positive glow, an indication that age and experience have made her more comfortable with the pressures of fame.
She said: ‘I looked at some photos of myself recently and was really surprised at how happy I looked.
‘In the past I would always look at those photos of me on the red carpet and see a woman who looked nervous and insecure.
“Everyone else saw a woman who looked grumpy and stern. I guess that’s why I got the reputation of being such a miserable cow.”
For some, the prospect of growing older is a sobering thought. Not so Victoria, who says she is less nervous and insecure than she was in her youth.

Now a successful fashion designer with an established global brand, Victoria is taking a philosophical perspective as she turns 50 as she looks forward to what lies ahead.
“I’m excited about the future,” she said. ‘The thing about aging is that it is what it is.
‘I always remember Marc Jacobs telling me when he turned 60 that it was better than the alternative of not turning 60. That’s good advice!
‘But in general I feel good about things. “I have better opportunities now than when I was younger.”
Victoria has enjoyed a week of near-constant celebrations after turning 50 on April 17, and her husband David flew her to the south of France on a private jet.
The fashion designer and retired footballer, 48, took a chauffeur-driven car to a £200-a-head restaurant in Saint-Paul de Vence, on the French Riviera, believed to be the famous La Colombe d ‘Or.
The couple were said to have been joined by their four children along with Victoria’s parents, Jackie and Tony, and were then flown back to Luton Airport.
Victoria says she looks and feels happier now than during her early years in the industry (pictured left in 2024 and right in 2007).

A source said Sun: ‘David chose an incredibly remote location.
‘The restaurant regularly hosts A-list celebrities during the Cannes Film Festival, so none of the Riviera locals bat an eyelid when they see a celebrity.
“Victoria spent an incredible afternoon filled with wine, sunbathing outdoors, looking out over the Mediterranean and enjoying her favorite white fish.”
Paying tribute to his wife in an Instagram post, David wrote: “Happy birthday to my beautiful wife… As you approach this birthday you should look back and be proud of what you have achieved, achieved and built, Posh Spice. Woman of business and, of course, marrying an England captain.
‘But your greatest success is your children, you guide them, you love them and you teach them… They love you beyond words, we all love you very much.’
