Victoria Beckham has said she and husband Sir David have "always tried to be the best parents that we can be", in her first public response after their eldest son Brooklyn exposed a rift in the family.
In a lengthy Instagram post in January, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham accused his parents of attempting to "ruin" his relationship with his wife Nicola and of basing their love for the family on the public promotion of "Brand Beckham." "I think that we've always - we love our children so much," Lady Beckham stated in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "We've always tried to be the best parents that we can be. We've been in the public eye for more than 30 years, and the only thing we've ever tried to do is love and protect our children." Brooklyn received a birthday greeting from Lady Beckham on social media last month, but this interview marks her first direct comment on the rift. Brooklyn made it clear in a six-page Instagram statement in January that his parents had broken up with him. He said that he had to respond because they had "continued to go to the press." He made claims including that his mother had "cancelled making Nicola's [wedding] dress at the eleventh hour" and "danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone" during the ceremony.
He also claimed his family values "public promotion and endorsements above all else", adding that "family 'love' is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp".
The events of the wedding have been disputed by some guests. DJ Fat Tony backed up Brooklyn's claim about the "awkward dance" with his mother, but singer Marc Anthony said the way events had been presented was "hardly the truth".
Sir David has not commented directly, but speaking generally about social media at a panel in Davos shortly after Booklyn's statement, he said children are "allowed to make mistakes".
