Victoria Beckham has long been a household name, first as Posh Spice in the iconic Spice Girls and now as a respected fashion designer and businesswoman. But as her family continues to capture the public’s attention, new chapters in the Beckham saga are unfolding—this time, centered on family legacy, the challenges of fame, and the next generation’s foray into the spotlight.
In her recently released three-part Netflix docuseries, Victoria Beckham, the 51-year-old mother of four offers an unfiltered look at her journey from pop stardom to haute couture. The series, which premiered around October 10, 2025, pulls back the curtain on her evolution, her family’s dynamics, and the pressures that come with such an illustrious surname. The red carpet premiere on October 8 was a family affair, with Victoria joined by her husband David Beckham and their children—Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. Notably, her former Spice Girls bandmates Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton (49), and Melanie C (51) were in attendance, a testament to the enduring bond—and occasional friction—between the women who helped define 1990s pop culture.
Victoria’s relationship with her musical past is complex. She candidly confesses in the docuseries, “It was good to celebrate the Spice Girls but it was during that [2008] tour that I realized I didn’t belong on stage. It had been fun but it wasn’t what I loved anymore.” According to The Post, she credits her time as Posh Spice for her current success, saying, “I have never forgotten where I’ve come from. I have never forgotten that Posh Spice is the reason that I’m sitting here now. She might have been grumpy but she was actually great.” Still, a recent comment from Mel B—“don’t forget where you’ve come from”—stung Victoria, prompting her to reflect on the challenges of moving on from a role that defined her youth.
Since stepping away from music after the 2008 reunion tour, Victoria has poured her energy into fashion. She launched her namesake brand in 2008 and later founded Victoria Beckham Beauty, steadily building a reputation as a serious designer. But the transition from pop star to entrepreneur wasn’t seamless. The docuseries reveals financial struggles that nearly derailed her business before a critical investment from David Belhassen in 2017. “I didn’t know what to do… I felt embarrassed… I was really desperate,” Victoria admits. David Beckham, ever the supportive partner, also opens up about his anxiety over the family’s financial future, saying, “We always agreed that we would support each other no matter what, but it worried me. This isn’t sustainable.” The couple’s frank discussions about risk, pride, and perseverance add depth to the glossy veneer of celebrity life.
While Victoria and David’s careers have been well documented, the spotlight has now shifted to their children. Brooklyn (26), Romeo (23), Cruz (20), and Harper (14) are each carving out their own public identities—whether in modeling, photography, singing, or fashion. With this visibility comes the inevitable scrutiny, especially around the so-called “nepo baby” debate. In a recent interview with The Sun, Victoria addressed the criticism head-on: “It’s not their fault, give them a chance.” The term, shorthand for “nepotism baby,” refers to children of celebrities who are perceived to benefit unfairly from their parents’ fame and connections. Brooklyn, for instance, has dabbled in modeling, photography, and even cooking, often drawing both admiration and skepticism from the public.
But it’s Cruz Beckham who’s currently making the most noise—sometimes literally. The youngest Beckham son has been teasing new music for months, dropping cryptic clues on social media. Fans have noticed a recurring frog motif: green frog clogs, cartoon frog drawings, and even frog-themed puns. One Instagram post showed Cruz in a toad headpiece, captioned, “What sound does a horny toad make?”—to which he replied, “Rubbit.” His girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, a songwriter herself, has joined in on the amphibian fun, fueling speculation that Cruz’s new band might even be called “toads.”
The real excitement, however, centers on the date October 24, 2025. Cruz has been spotted wearing merchandise emblazoned with “24.10.25,” and fans are convinced this marks the release of his debut single or album. As Daily Mail reports, Cruz has reportedly signed with the music management company C3, known for working with indie darlings The Strokes. He’s also shared invitations for an event on October 14, 2025, with the tantalizing promise: “Cruz D Beckham officially invites you, one night only.” Whether it’s a listening party, launch event, or something else entirely, speculation is running wild.
Victoria, for her part, has offered Cruz some sage advice as he embarks on his musical journey. “Don’t expect immediate success. You’ve got to start small and build it up—and that’s exactly what he’s doing, playing tiny venues, no fuss, doing his thing,” she told The Sun. She draws from her own experience, noting that it took her two decades to build her fashion label into a respected brand. It’s a refreshing perspective in an era obsessed with overnight stardom.
Cruz’s musical ambitions aren’t entirely new. He first dipped his toes into the industry at age 11, releasing the festive single “If Everyday Was Christmas” in 2016. But this latest chapter feels more considered, more authentic—perhaps a sign of lessons learned from both his parents’ careers and the sometimes harsh glare of public opinion. In addition to his musical pursuits, Cruz has announced a collaboration with Hamburger America and his hot sauce brand, appearing at a burger event in Seaport on October 6, 2025. It’s a reminder that the Beckham children are as entrepreneurial as their parents, unafraid to experiment and diversify.
As the Beckham family continues to navigate fame, business, and the expectations that come with their name, they remain remarkably open about their struggles and triumphs. Victoria’s docuseries, now streaming on Netflix, doesn’t shy away from the tough moments—be it financial uncertainty, the sting of public comments, or the weight of legacy. Instead, it offers a portrait of a family determined to support each other, evolve, and, above all, keep moving forward.
For fans and critics alike, the Beckham story is far from over. With Cruz poised to make his musical mark and Victoria reflecting on her own journey, the next act promises to be just as compelling as the last.
