Victoria Beckham reveals her children didn’t know how good a footballer dad David was until they saw his documentary – as she sizzles in a sheer lace dress in Sєxy new shoot

Their father is considered one of the best British footballers of all time, inducted into Hall of Fame’s for his career.

But David Beckham’s kids didn’t know how good a footballer he was, until they watched his Netflix documentary.

Starring on the cover of this month’s Harper’s Bazaar, Victoria Beckham, 50, has opened up about her family and husband.

The pair married in 1999 and share children Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.

Last year they released a Netflix documentary that explored Mr Beckham’s meteoric rise to being a footballer.

‘It was funny, actually,’ Victoria said about the documentary.

‘Cruz was like, ‘I didn’t realize that Dad was so good at football.’

‘You forget it was a long time ago. They were always at the games, but they were really little, and too young to understand.’

David, 49, was runner-up in the Ballon d’Or in 1999, twice runner-up for FIFA World Player of the Year and in 2004 was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world’s greatest living players.

He was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2008, and the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2021.

In 1998 he endured public shaming after being sent off during the match with Argentina, after kicking Diego Simeone – a game that England went on to lose in a penalty shoot-out.

‘I mean, when it happened, David was the same age that Romeo is now,’ Victoria  said about the time.

‘That’s a lot for a 22-year-old.

‘When you’re in it, there’s that sink-or-swim feeling, and you just get on with it. And we had each other, and the rest is history.

‘But the thought of my Romeo having to go through it, I don’t know how he would handle that. I don’t know how anyone would handle that. But we didn’t have a choice.’

Last year Victoria turned 50 and said she now doesn’t care for being in the public eye as much.

She told the magazine: ‘You have to go through those times to make you, ultimately, who you are.

‘We’ve kind of figured out how to be quite discreet, which is just how we want to conduct our lives right now.

‘I suppose it used to be fun to go out and be chased by paparazzi walking down Bond Street – and you would dress knowing you were going to get that. I don’t want that any more.

‘I’ve been doing this too long. 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**t less.’
