'I'm not pushy:' Victoria Beckham hits back at estranged son Brooklyn Beckham's bombshell claims

Victoria Beckham has doubled down amid the ongoing feud with her eldest son, saying she's never been "pushy or forceful" with her children.

During her appearance on Emma Grede's Aspire podcast, the fashion designer inadvertently hit back at Brooklyn's claim that she had "controlled narratives" about him and the family his "whole life."

When talking about raising her children in the spotlight, Victoria told Grede her children "had a very different upbringing" from her and husband David Beckham.

"I've always wanted to be the best mum I could be and look after the kids, but I also feel that it's been part of my job to really help them fulfil their full potential and for them to recognise what their sense of purpose is," she said.

"Anything that I could do to support [them], to encourage, and to help ... that's my job as his mum.

"It's never about being pushy or forcing. It's being there to support."

She went on to talk about her youngest son Cruz's music career, and about her daughter Harper.

"I'm so proud of all of the children, but you know, Harper, she's very ambitious," the Spice Girl said.

"She's got big dreams. She's finding her own sense of purpose and what she wants to do."

She also touched on how "close" the family is, saying they eat dinner together every night without the distractions of phones.

Victoria went on to talk about how parenting children is different to parenting adults, avoiding talking directly about the Brooklyn situation while still seemingly hinting at it. 

"I think that it's very different parenting adult children to parenting smaller children ... I'm just trying to do the best that I can," she said.

"They grow up so quickly, it's my job to make sure that my kids are the best versions of themselves and that they feel fulfilled."

Victoria stayed silent for weeks following Brooklyn's bombshell statement earlier this year, in which he claimed his family constantly mistreated his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.

However, she's recently been ramping up her interview and press appearances.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn has stayed silent but has continued missing major family events.

Brooklyn and Nicola both skipped David's milestone 50th celebrations last May.

In the months since there were rumours circulating of a family feud, which Brooklyn confirmed in a blistering six-page statement he released on social media in January.

Brooklyn made several claims about his parents, from allegations of what really happened on his wedding day to claims they controlled him and shared "performative social media posts."

Reports have also emerged that Brooklyn and Nicola have engaged lawyers to tell his parents the only way they will communicate is through them.

Despite the legal letter, David and Victoria have both sent public messages to their son, including social media posts to wish him a happy birthday in March.
