Though also weird my mothers let me know that. 😬🤨

Yes - we should start a thread about what your name would be if you were named after where you were conceived 😂😂

Could you imagine some of the stories

Bruisername · 24/01/2026 18:50

I am glad to say that I have never had a conversation with my parents regarding my conception

Which is very normal

unless they name you after the place

I think she found out she was pregnant in Brooklyn.

That’s what the story changed to

probably when they realised how daft they were

Rollonsummer1 · 24/01/2026 18:54

Going by today's nonsense I don't think they think they are daft at all.

Well yes !!

Gowlett · 24/01/2026 20:37

When you look at all of this turning up at fashion shows…
Being papped as a family. That’s what they do. It’s a job.
The modelling, music, photography, cooking is incidental.

Even Victoria being a designer. She’s more like the face.
David’s the only one with actual talent. The Beckham brand.
Nicola didn’t get the memo, and thinks she’s an actress…

Pedallleur · 24/01/2026 20:48

Interesting article in The Guardian today interviewing people who work in the publicity business or who have worked for the Beckham's. Gives an insight into how/why the brand was built and is maintained.

I find it really weird the kids are there all the time

I wouldn’t be seen dead with my parents - esp on NYE at that age - it’s all a bit odd

Rollonsummer1 · 24/01/2026 23:25

@Liquoriceallsortsmadear the boys seem to have their gf there and to a degree VB.and dB look fun and can host in a nice house.
I have personal experience of how much of a draw a nice house can be even if owners are uptight but they seem like good fun .

I'm sure they are out with friends at other times ? I enjoyed socialising with my parents.

landlordhell · 23/01/2026 18:45

Marc A is out of order calling VB the most beautiful woman in the room, not just because she wasn’t but who does that to a bride on her wedding day???
BUT VB could have redirected the attention.

Well that is the bit I can't get my head round, as a middle aged woman you'd (well I would) think he was taking the mickey and make some sarcastic comment back but perhaps she moves in more sycophantic circles.

As an aside, there was a piece in the Times yesterday which was personal stories of estrangement. The one from the mum whose daughter was not speaking to her must have been made up i hope as it was so textbook ie I, I , I I and I again - no curiosity about why and finished with she can stick it now I don't want to know. By contrast, most of the ones from "children" estranged from parents or siblings were measured and more factual ie lot's of detail.

I did see an awful clip where Victoria has to move the microphone stand, makes some double entendre about getting it up, pretends she doesn't know she is doing it, everyone laughs and the first thing she does is says "sorry Brooklyn,". I found it very uncomfortable however I had a mother who seemed to get a kick out of saying things about sex to me so I am not an impartial observer!

In all the photos I have seen of VB with BB she is standing with a silly pout on her face, posing for the cameras and centre stage. Whoever else is with her is just a prop. The body language screams self absorbed narcissist.

NeelyOHara · 25/01/2026 08:02

If you notice she often sticks her shoulder out to make sure the person next to her gets shunted to the background and she is the main focus of the photo.
She even did it to Kate moss, who apparently started doing it back to her.

The stars come out in force for Kim Jones' first Dior show

Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Naomi Campbell all sat on the front row

That’s so rude! I had always noticed that’s she looks at the monitor constantly when being interviewed. On TFI Friday back in the day she barely looked at Chris Evan’s!

No but you can work it out. My DB was born 9 mths after the 1966 World Cup final and my DD is 25 September. However they are not named Jules Rimet or Holly!

BBs wife isn't above a bit of narcissistic posing. It's what these vacuous women do.

This is all very odd to me. I was having sex every 2 days for about 6 months to conceive my children. Surely if they can pinpoint exactly where they were it means they weren't having that much sex? Why is it something to boast about that you have sex in a relationship unless you are desperate for someone to shag you ( and reiterate this seemingly obvious aspect of being 2 young, attractive people in a relationship) but they arent?

They just won’t leave it, or him, alone will they? How many stories are they going to plant in the mail? They are just proving his point, poor kid.

I agree. They need full silence on the matter now

her saying she’s upset because she had protected Brooklyn from bad stuff coming out in the past is quite sinister really. He’s her son - why would she not have done that (I mean she should have protected him from anything coming out tbf) and is she now threatening to tell all!

no matter if we think BB is being fair or not - they’re his parents - not exes!

Just catching up on it all and I note Katherine Ryan has weighed in (probably got something to promote). Asserting the Beckham parents are not abusers was irresponsible and sends out a horrible message. I never thought much of her - like the Beckhams, she isn’t gifted with much talent - but this is appalling.

Yes I watched some of this too and had to stop watching as I couldn’t help wondering if this Beckham apologist is somehow caught up in the Beckhams far reaching PR machine.
KR has gone down considerably in my estimation.
