The fashion mogul and Spice Girl reflects on her life after turning 50, brushing off public scrutiny and celebrating her achievements in business.
Victoria Beckham, the iconic fashion designer and former Spice Girl, is brushing off public opinions and focusing on what truly matters—her busy family life. In a candid interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, Beckham opened up about her life since turning 50 this year, revealing that she no longer feels the pressure of keeping up with the public eye.
Beckham, married to football legend David Beckham, admitted that the couple’s current quiet lifestyle is a choice. “This is just how we want to live our lives right now,” she explained. Reflecting on the past, she recalled how much she used to enjoy the attention of paparazzi, especially during her days walking down Bond Street. But she made it clear that those days are behind her. “I don’t want that anymore,” she stated.

I suppose I did when I was growing up but, nowadays, there’s just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about. I woke up at 50, and I gave a s*** less.”
Her family life is a priority. Beckham, who shares four children with her husband, has made it clear that they are her focus now. Despite her long career in the public eye, she’s fully committed to her children’s well-being, which leaves little time for worry over external opinions.
In addition to her family life, Beckham has also reflected on her business journey. Her fashion line and makeup brand, which recently turned profitable after a difficult restructuring phase, has been a significant source of pride for the entrepreneur. “It’s a huge accomplishment,” she remarked. After 17 years of highs and lows, seeing the brand thrive in an increasingly competitive industry has been a rewarding milestone. “To be able to say we’re profitable is something I’m so proud of,” she added, pointing out the challenges the luxury fashion market faces today.
Victoria Beckham’s reflections show a woman who has learned to balance the demands of family, business, and public scrutiny. With a growing fashion empire and a focus on her loved ones, she has truly embraced the journey of life after 50.
