Victoria Beckham: My family is like a travelling circus

Victoria Beckham says her family is like a "travelling circus" because they can "sing, dance and do football (soccer)".

The former Spice Girls star is extremely proud of her and husband David Beckham’s brood – Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, Cruz, 11, and five-year-old Harper – and all the different talents she, David and the kids possess.

Victoria has shared some of her children’s different skills and admits she was amazed when she discovered Cruz had such a fantastic singing voice, something which neither she nor David had ever noticed before.

During an appearance on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’ on Monday (12.09.16), she shared: "I mean we are like a travelling circus, our family. We sing. We dance. We do football (soccer). We do fashion."

Discussing Cruz’s penchant for singing, she added: "He’s always the one that plays football (soccer), and he was just singing in the back of the car one day. And he was singing, and I was like, ‘Wow, you can really sing.’ And then he picked up his cups and off he went."

After having three wonderful boys, Victoria admits it was special for her and David – who was the captain of the England soccer team – to finally have a daughter in 2011, and although Harper is a "tomboy" and is obsessed with the family sport she also loves to play dress up.

She shared: "It was so great to have a girl, and the boys are so great with her, and David is such a great dad. It’s so cute to see him with a little girl. She’s so great. She’s a little tomboy playing in the garden with her brothers, playing football (soccer), and David as well, but she’s also very girly. She loves to play with makeup. She has been able to run in a pair of high heels for a long time. I’m so proud."

Although Victoria, 42, has spurned the opportunity to reform the Spice Girls with Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner to celebrate their 20th anniversary to focus on her fashion business she has introduced her kids to her old band and has even show them the film ‘Spice World’.

The brunette beauty – also known as Posh Spice – spilled: "They know the Spice Girls. They know that mommy wore heels and did the pout and point. They’re proud. We’ve watched the movie (Spice World) together. When I was on tour with the Spice Girls, I took the children with me, so they know it."

Victoria Beckham relies on David’s suppport

Victoria Beckham couldn’t do her job without the support of her husband.

The 42-year-old fashion designer knows retired soccer player David Beckham is always there for their four children, Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, Cruz, 11, and five-year-old Harper, so she doesn’t have to worry when her work is busy because he is the "best dad".

She said: "David [is] so great. I couldn’t do any of this without him.

"He is very supportive and it means I can come away and work and know he is being the best dad looking after the kids. We work very well together, because David travels a lot and when he travels I am at home. There is always someone there with the children."

David and Brooklyn were on the front row for Victoria’s New York Fashion Week presentation at the weekend, but her younger children couldn’t attend because of their school commitments.

While the former Spice Girls singer knew it was important that they stayed at home in London, she couldn’t help but "miss" them.

In a Facebook chat with the Daily Telegraph, she said: "The other children are at school and have only just gone back after a long summer break – but Brooklyn is doing A Levels so it’s easier for him to travel and he will be in home in time for school.

"I love having them here and I miss them."

When it comes to her designs, Victoria admits she makes things "difficult" for herself because she likes a "challenge".

She said: "I do like to make things difficult for myself and my team, just from taking on a challenge if you like. The velvet for example, I haven’t worked velvet for such a long time, because it’s something that normally feels old and heavy, but this is something which is super light and in bright colors."

Chloe Grace Moretz shares travel survival essential

Chloe Grace Moretz has to travel with "noise cancelling headphones" to stay "sane".

The 19-year-old actress has to fly a lot for her career and she admits if she didn’t have her must-have item she wouldn’t be able to cope with the stress of airports.

Taking to her Twitter account, she shared: "Literally the only thing that keeps me sane rn is noise cancelling headphones, #airports (sic)"

Chloe is keen to pair her headphones with the new Apple iPhone 7s but to do so she’ll have to ditch the company’s wireless headphones which come with the must-have gadget.

In another tweet she revealed she’s desperate to get her hands on the smartphone, simply posting "gimme dat iphone 7s (sic)".

Chloe just recently split from her boyfriend Brooklyn Beckham – the 17-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham.

It was claimed that Brooklyn decided to call time on the romance because she couldn’t cope with having a long-distance relationship as she lives in Los Angeles and he is based in London with his family.

A source said: "Brooklyn is so young with his whole life ahead and although he was besotted with her at first, as time wore on Chloe wanted to become more serious and given he lives on the other side of the Atlantic, it was something he couldn’t offer."

The pair briefly dated in 2014 before getting back together earlier this year before separating.

Chloe had been welcomed into the Beckham family – also comprised of Brooklyn’s brothers Romeo, 14, Cruz, 11, and his little sister Harper, five – with open arms and had nothing but kind words to say about David, 41, and Victoria, 42.

The ‘Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising’ star previously said: "The Beckhams are a great family. They don’t tout their money either. They’d [the family] understand the travel, the sex scenes with random people, the crazy schedule."

Victoria Beckham was drunk when she first met David

Victoria Beckham was drunk the first time she met her now husband David.

The 42-year-old fashion designer first met the hunky retired soccer star, 41, at Manchester United’s grounds at a party in the 90s and the brunette beauty has admitted that their first encounter is "hazy", but she knew it was "love at first sight".

In a letter penned to her former self for the October edition of British Vogue magazine, she shared: "Yes, love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge – although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy.

"While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage – you are the famous one.)

"And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you. He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it.)"

The couple married in 1999 and now have four children together – sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, Cruz, 11, and five-year-old daughter Harper.

David echoed his wife’s views on their relationship, as he said previously that as soon as he saw her in the Spice Girls music video for ‘Say You’ll Be There’ in 1996 he knew she was "perfection".

He said previously: "That’s the girl for me and I’m going to get her! She’s my idea of perfection. I knew that if she wanted me, we would be together forever."

Elsewhere in the letter, Victoria revealed how she has never felt comfortable in her own skin, and even recalled feeling "plump" when she was younger.

She wrote: "You have never properly fitted in, although you are sharing your Surrey school digs with really nice girls. You have bad acne.

"You think the Principal has put you at the back of the end-of-year show (in a humiliatingly bright purple Lycra leotard) because you are too plump to go at the front. (This may or may not be true.)"

Cruz Beckham learns guitar in bid for pop stardom

Cruz Beckham is learning guitar in a bid for pop stardom after a clip of him singing went viral.

The 11-year-old child of former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and retired soccer player David Beckham wants to become a singer and has taken up the instrument to improve his musicianship.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Cruz has a natural affinity with music and he’s been desperate to learn the guitar. He’s had lessons for months and is constantly strumming away, singing along.

"Obviously he still has far to go, but there’s certainly potential there.

"He’s got a natural stage presence."

The news of Cruz’s new musical venture comes four months after his mother Victoria posted a video on Instagram of the schoolboy singing. The clip went viral, and it wasn’t long before it caught the attention of Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun. The move to learn guitar comes as Cruz aims to make himself an all-round performer.

Cruz – who has two brothers Brookyln, 17, and Romeo, 13, as well as a sister, four-year-old Harper – isn’t the only young Beckham to be thinking about their career already. Brooklyn has decided he wants a future in photography, as he knew "straight away" that it was something he wanted to do.

He said previously: "I studied photography in high school and straight away I knew it was something I was interested in.

"When I left school I started shooting in my spare time and really started enjoying it. I bought a few books and then I ended up interning for David Sims on a couple of shoots."

Fashion designer Victoria, 41, has also expressed her pride in her children, saying that they are "hard-working" and that she couldn’t ask for more.

She said: "You don’t have a rule book when you have a child. You just do the best that you can and I think the kids are doing a pretty good job.

"They’re well-mannered, hard-working, they’re fun and they’re happy kids. So what more can you ask for?"

Charlie Hunnam: ‘I genuinely love David Beckham’

Charlie Hunnam "genuinely loves" David Beckham.

The retired soccer star has a cameo role in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming movie ‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’, which stars Charlie, and the ‘Sons of Anarchy’ actor was thrilled to get to work with David.

He told E! News: "I thought [David] Beckham was a secret but I guess everyone’s talking about it now. Unless you just are tricking me and I’m the one that’s putting the secret out.

"[David] Beckham was awesome. I mean, I genuinely love that guy. I loved working with him. He was great."

David’s role has not been revealed, but a source previously said: "There’s going to be a version of the scene where Excalibur gets drawn from the stone. This is where Beckham factors in.

"There’s a little bit of a sense that Beckham’s character, who fancies himself as a big player in this story, gets a little ticked off when this other fellow, this upstart, is the one who can free the sword."

David, 41, is good friends with director Guy and jumped at the chance to take on a part in the movie, which stars Charlie, 36, as the titular character with Eric Bana as his father Uther Pendragon.

Jude Law is lined up as villain Vortigern and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey will portray Arthur’s significant other Guinevere.

The story tells of Arthur being unaware of his destiny at first until he stumbles upon the mighty sword Excalibur.

After meeting Guinevere, he then sets about taking his rightful place on the throne, but evil Vortigern stands in his way.

Liam Payne signs with David Beckham’s management

Liam Payne has signed up with David Beckham’s management company.

The One Direction heartthrob recently announced he had signed a solo record deal and will now be looked after by Doyen Global as he bids to take the music world by storm.

It is thought they will focus on making Liam – who is currently dating Cheryl Fernandez-Versini – a huge star in the same why they have turned David into a global icon.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Liam has made a bold move going solo so why not go for management of the highest calibre.

"He also already has a huge profile so the scope to increase his brand further is obvious. Being one half of one of the most recognisable couples in Britain obvious helps."

It’s also been claimed that Cheryl, 33, was behind Liam’s decision to go solo as before he had just wanted to stay behind the scenes and write music for others during One Direction’s hiatus.

The source continued: "Liam probably enjoyed the limelight the least after Zayn Malik in One Direction. He enjoyed the recording and creative process, so that was the way he was heading.

"But being with Cheryl has given him the drive to break through himself. He knows she will be his unofficial mentor too."

Liam – who is joined in 1D by Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson – announced his news last week but said One Direction would always be his "family".

He revealed: "I’m really happy to have signed to such a prestigious label as Capitol Records UK. Capitol Records has an amazing history stretching right back before even Frank Sinatra and I’m really looking forward to becoming part of their story.

"One Direction will always be my family; I’m now excited to show what I can do as a solo artist."

Brooklyn Beckham gushes about Chloe Moretz

Brooklyn Beckham wants to "keep" Chloe Moretz.

The 17-year-old photographer – eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham – has been dating the 19-year actress for around two years and he took to Instagram to pay tribute to his girlfriend.

Posting a sweet black-and-white selfie of the pair in a car together, Brooklyn wrote: "I think I’ll keep her."

He the added a red love heart emoji.

The declaration of love comes after Brooklyn showed his support for Kanye West, just one day after Chloe got into a Twitter fight with the rapper’s sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian.

He shared a picture of himself on Instagram wearing a ‘The Life of Pablo’ shirt.

The clothing item has the lyrics "Step Up In This Bitch Like I’m The One Your Bitch Like’ from Kanye’s song ‘Waves’ written on it.

Chloe’s feud with Khloe, 32, kicked off after the ‘Kick-Ass’ starlet appeared to comment on the argument between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian West over her husband Kanye’s track ‘Famous’.

Chloe took to Twitter to post, "Everyone in this industry needs to get their heads out of a hole and look around to realize what’s ACTUALLY happening in the REAL world.

"Stop wasting your voice on something so petulant and unimportant (sic)," apparently talking about Kim’s actions.

Khloe then waded in posting an extremely explicit image of a mystery woman dressed a skimpy red bikini with her bottom exposed, with a picture of Chloe in a similar bikini next to it.

She tagged Chloe in the tweet, writing: "Is this the a hole you’re referring to @ChloGMoretz??? (sic)"

Chloe responded by tweeting: "@khloekardashian fact check: first photo is me filming my movie Neighbors 2, the second photo is some girl who was wrongfully photographed. (sic)"

Fans were not impressed with Brooklyn’s post as they said it had disrespected Chloe and he soon deleted it.

And sources say Brooklyn is supporting his girlfriend through the high-profile feud.

One revealed: "Brooklyn thinks Chloe is a rock star for sticking up for her beliefs and not being afraid to voice them. He thinks Khloe was completely out of line to attack her the way she did and was surprised that she would stoop so low."
