The iconic footballer David Beckham, 47, and the British fashion designer Victoria Beckham, 47, have disclosed that they have blocked their 10-year-old daughter Harper from using social media.
The 48-year-old super mom said that she placed the ban because she wants to protect her daughter from “body shamers” at her young age.
Speaking to Vogue Australia, the former Spice Girl star said:
“Harper isn’t on social media, so we don’t have to worry about [body-shaming] just yet.
“Seeing how cruel people can be [online] yes, it really does [concern me].”
Victoria, who also is mother to sons Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, Cruz, 17, went on to say that she helps her daughter surround herself with good friends in a bid to boost her confidence.
She further shared:
“She’s at that age where her body is going to start changing, but it’s about making sure that we communicate a lot as a family and she surrounds herself with nice friends.
But it is quite terrifying, I can’t lie.”
Her comments come after a 2021 survey by Girlguiding found that two in five girls (40 per cent) aged 11 to 16 in the UK felt insecure or less confident after seeing certain images online.
Victoria mentioned in another part of the interview that Harper didn't like the miniskirts she wore while she was a member of the Spice Girls.
She uttered:
“She’s not one of these kids who are going out with a full face of makeup and a crop top.
She actually said to me recently, ‘Mummy, I’ve seen some pictures of you when you were in the Spice Girls and your skirts were just unacceptable. They were just too short’.
Then David piped up and said, ‘Absolutely Harper! They really, really were’. And she was actually quite disgusted at how short my skirts were.”
When asked if she was ever going to wear skirts as short as her mother did, Harper responded: “Absolutely not.”
