Victoria Beckham recently recalled the transition from a world-famous pop star to a full-time mother.
During the latest episode of Call her father podcastthe former Spice Girls got candid about the emotional challenges she faced after stepping away from the limelight to focus on family life.
“I had Brooklyn, I moved to Manchester – where David lived and played for Manchester United,” Victoria recalled.
The fashion designer shares four children with David Beckham, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
“He’s a big star,” Victoria continued.
“It was quite a transition for me because I was so happy to be with David, to have a baby — I felt so blessed. But I also felt a little lost.”
The change in pace, from performing on global stages with her bandmates to quiet days at home, was “difficult”, she admitted.
“Going from being in the band, traveling the world, being on stage with your best friends to suddenly being in a flat, in Manchester, alone, with a baby,” Victoria said, adding: “It was tough.”
What made it harder, she added, was the shame she felt for struggling at a time when she thought she should have felt happiest.
“I was ashamed to admit that I didn’t feel completely fulfilled,” she admitted to host Alex Cooper.
“There was a clock in my head just ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking away. I was just struggling to figure out what was next,” Victoria stated before logging out of the chat.
