Victoria Beckham opens up about aging: ‘I can own the narrative now’

  • Victoria Beckham, 52, shared in a recent interview with The Times that she has struggled with feelings of inadequacy and body image throughout her life.
  • She revealed that getting older has helped her care less about others' opinions, allowing her to "own the narrative" about herself.
  • The fashion mogul now prioritizes health and fitness, stating she works out harder in her 50s than in her 20s or 30s, believing age does not limit potential.
  • Beckham also discussed her parenting approach for her four children, emphasizing supporting their aspirations rather than forcing them.
  • These comments follow previous statements on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast where she insisted she is not a "pushy parent" and aims to help her children achieve their full potential.
