Victoria Beckham Shares She Lost Confidence After A Newspaper Story On Her Post-Baby Body

There must have been a time when we all thought that the “Viva Forever” singer Victoria Beckham has an inbuilt poise and confidence in her but it may surprise you to know that there was a time when she struggled with her confidence. One of those times was around the 90s after giving birth to her first child Brooklyn Beckham.

In a recent interview with “Grazia,” the mom of four shared how a newspaper story that commented on her post-baby body affected her so much that she found it difficult to sit at the beach and watch her children play. “I’ve had so much said about me and I’m sure that has robbed me of some experiences,” said Victoria in the May 28 interview.

She continued, “I never want to look like I’m complaining, but there were times in the past that I haven’t felt confident enough to sit on a beach and watch my children play. My first outing was on the front page of the newspaper, with arrows pointing to where I needed to lose weight. Those things can affect how you feel and conduct yourself in public. Now, if paparazzi want to take a picture and say something—too bad, it doesn’t bother me in the same way.”

This is not the first time Victoria has shared her experience with how the world reacted to her body after she gave birth. Two years ago, the Victoria’s Secret model who shares kids, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12, with husband David Beckham, 49, previously shared the awful experience she had on live TV after snapping back to her former size.

Victoria Beckham — On How She Was Weighed In On Live TV

Although this happened way back in 1999, Victoria still recalls it like it was yesterday. Would you blame her? In an interview she had with Vogue Australia in June 2022, Victoria revealed what happened to her on the British Talk Show TRI Friday hosted by Chris Evans which she appeared as a guest in few months after birthing her first child.

“I went on a TV show with Chris Evans many years ago and I’d just had Brooklyn and lost a lot of weight after,” she explained. “It happened to my mum after her pregnancies. It doesn’t mean you have an eating disorder. And he made me stand on the scales to be weighed.” She asked, “Can you imagine doing that nowadays?”

In the resurfaced interview, Evans asked Victoria how her fitness routine had been since giving birth to her son, “A lot of girls want to know, because you look fantastic again, how did you get back to your shape after birth?” Asked Evans to which Victoria replied, “I’m really lazy. I don’t go down to the gym or anything.”

Evans continued the interview by asking if her weight was “back to normal” which she affirmed. Apparently, Evans wasn’t satisfied with Victoria’s response so he pulled out a scale from behind his desk and asked, “Can I check, do you mind?”

Victoria replied, “This is horrible” before stepping on the scale. After seeing her weight, Evans said, “Eight stones [112 lbs.] not bad at all, is it?”
