AIBU?

To think Victoria Beckham really has it all? Baby Harper is too adorable for words

including her other kids.

I don't know if it's pretty shallow (but I like fancy stuff Grin) but I can't see many women refusing her life and wardrobe. I could do without the fame - have no interest in that at all.

VB has managed to:

  • Stay thin (something a lot of women would kill for)
  • All her children, esp Harper are adorable. No dodgy looking kids for her brood
  • So much money. Never ever has to worry about providing for her kids
  • She's attractive
  • Her Husband is pretty cool.
  • She has family support


She must know she has a pretty enviable life!

She makes having a family SO attractive. On the streets, I just see harassed parents.

Was it actually proven that David had an affair?

You never truly know what someone's life is like. Yes, she does have a great life on the face of things, but I wouldn't be too quick to envy her. Fame has it's advantages that's true, but imagine be photographed everywhere you go. It must be pretty frustrating at best. Terrifying at worst. Not being able to protect your children from that must be very hard.

It wasn't announced by their PR people that he'd had an affair but all declarations that they would sue the newspaper were quietly dropped.

I don't think I'd envy somebody in the public eye all the time.

DHs mate is in show business; he's a PA to various people things I could tell you about Robbie Williams He was at one time a PA to a then famous dolly bird who alleged she was having a fling with DB. It's one that has never hit the papers. She is no longer famous.

All very third hand I grant you.

I love how when skinny malinks VB is carrying big, chubby Harper around it looks like an elf trying to carry a baby giant.

Rebecca Loos would have sued by VB if it wasn't true.
VB is too thin. She will have health problems in the future because of it.

I don't think DB is good looking.
I think he is weedy.

No, she can keep her life and her bunions.

Yes, David admitted sleeping with the nanny.

VB is to be pitied, not envied. Her life must be a misery, having to starve herself to stay a certain weight and never feeling free or relaxed enough to wear comfortable shoes and clothing, even if she's just nipping out with the kids or at a football game.

She always looks miserable to me, anyway. And noone who is married to a cheat is to be envied, ever :(

the 80 per cent remark is that his infidelity has not broken them just like other couple where infidelity has not broken them. Doesn't mean her life is not nice. And if I am shallow, so be it. It's a lifestyle MINUS the fame that I like.

The dodgy looking kids comment I knew would raise an eyebrow. I think she has a good looking set of kids, I can't say that for any other celeb tbh. I rarely notice kids but her Harper makes me smile. I have just started to notice her boys because of of her little girl and have noticed that they're all pretty cute.

And of course I realise that the women has serious money and help with the kids so not compering her to the ordinary everyday woman incl myself but I can still admire her lifestyle.

A recent thread on here someone called the Beckham chavs and I thought 'how?!'

Lady, no I wouldn't want to be that thin (she has no butt)because I am already thin (size 6/8) but in my culture (Brazil) thinness is not desired. Only western world wants their women looking like undeveloped boys. I would kill to get to a 12/14, just no cellulite

I would hate to be VB. I don't think her DH or children are any more handsome than anyone else's either. Confused

IMO Peaches Geldof has the cutest baby-Astala.

Yes she does have it all. But not because she has 'no dodgy looking kids' or is thin.

But because she is very successful in her own right and has a happy family as well.

The Beckhams never did sue over cheating allegations, which to me means there was evidence of an affair and they had no case to sue.

YABU. There's more to life than having beautiful children and lots of money.

ive never met vb or db or baby harper, and I certainly wouldnt decide to envy someone based on what they look like ffs.

She must feel constantly hungry. Probably thinks about food all the time. How miserable that must be.

I have more respect for celebrities who keep their children out of the public eye TBH. I have said this before on a VB thread and got a bit flamed but I can't remember why. Grin

Same here- if I was famous I would keep my children right out of the public eye.
