Victoria Beckham reveals she watched the emotional final episode of David’s Netflix documentary with a bottle of wine on a flight to Miami: ‘It was a nice moment… we both felt really proud’

Victoria Beckham admits she avoided watching the latest episode of husband David’s Netflix series until she found the right time to wind down and tune out.

The couple allowed cameras into their homes for a fast-paced account of family life in the Beckham household, and a candid look back at David’s hugely successful football career.

But Victoria, who celebrated her 50th birthday on April 17, was reluctant to watch the emotional final cut – which ends with the couple dancing to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s hit Islands In The Stream – until it was finally released by the streaming service.

The former Spice Girl, who admits she has never felt comfortable in front of TV cameras, spoke out Sunday Times style: ‘On a flight to Miami we finally looked at it.

‘David suggested we get a bottle of wine. It was a beautiful moment; we were both very proud.’

The four-part series followed the Beckham family around the world, from their family homes in London and the Cotswolds to Los Angeles and Florida, where David is co-owner of MLS club Inter Miami.

It was a two-year job, and Victoria admits it was sometimes difficult to make sense of their checkered history.

‘I don’t get nervous when I play myself, but it was definitely a real process. Going through all those things again can be… There are also things that are difficult to remember.

“Like, Visser [Stevens, the series’ director] would bring up a goal that David scored 25 years ago, and that can make you quite nervous.’

The former Spice Girl, famous for her signature pout, admits that the only thing that has changed over the years is her increasingly positive appearance – an indication that age and experience have made her more comfortable with the pressures of fame.

She said: ‘I looked at some pictures of myself recently and was really impressed with how happy I looked.

‘I used to always look at those red carpet photos of me and see a woman who looked nervous and insecure.

‘Everyone saw a woman who looked grumpy and stern. I suppose that’s why I got the reputation of being such a miserable cow.’

For some, the prospect of growing older is a sobering thought. Not Victoria, who says she is less nervous and insecure than in her younger years

Now a successful fashion designer with an established global brand, Victoria has a philosophical view on turning 50 as she looks forward to what lies ahead.

“I’m excited about the future,” she said. “The thing about getting older is that it is what it is.

‘I always remember Marc Jacobs saying to me when he was sixty that it was better than the alternative of not turning sixty. That’s good advice!

“But overall I feel good about things. I have better opportunities now than when I was younger.’

Victoria spent a week of near-constant celebrations after turning in her 50th year on April 17, with husband David taking her to the south of France on a private jet.

The fashion designer and the retired footballer, 48, then took a chauffeured car to a £200-per-head restaurant in Saint-Paul de Vence on the French Riviera, believed to be the famous La Colombe d’Or.

The couple were said to be accompanied by their four children, along with Victoria’s parents Jackie and Tony, and were later flown back to Luton Airport.

A source said The sun: ‘David chose an incredibly remote location.

‘The restaurant regularly hosts A-list celebrities during the Cannes Film Festival, so no Riviera resident bats an eye when they see a celebrity.

‘Victoria had a wonderful afternoon of good wine, enjoying the sun outside, overlooking the Mediterranean and enjoying her favorite white fish.’

Paying tribute to his wife in an Instagram post, David wrote: ‘Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife… As you approach this birthday, look back and be proud of what you have accomplished, achieved and what you have built, Posh Spice , businesswoman and of course marrying an English captain.’

“But your greatest success is your children, you guide them, love them and teach them… They love you more than words, we all love you so much.”
