Long before she became a Spice Girl and global fashion mogul, Victoria Beckham got her start with the support of parents Jackie and Anthony Adams. The close-knit working class London family provided the foundation for Victoria’s ambitions.
Victoria has often praised her mother Jackie, an insurance clerk, for instilling her passion for style and drive to succeed. “Mum inspired me to go after my dreams,” Victoria shared. As a child, Victoria would ask for Jackie’s fashion advice and emulate her classy but understated taste.
Meanwhile, Victoria’s father Anthony worked multiple jobs like as an electronics engineer to provide for the family. Victoria attributes her work ethic to her dad’s tireless example. “My parents sacrificed so much for me,” she says.
Even after Victoria found fame and success, she remained extremely close with her parents and supportive younger sister. The family’s unwavering belief in Victoria through all her ventures, from music to fashion, kept her going during difficult times.
Now as parents themselves, Victoria and husband David Beckham prioritize giving their own children a stable, nurturing upbringing like Victoria had.
After decades in the spotlight, Victoria still proudly embraces her middle-class roots. While Victoria Beckham’s glitzy lifestyle appears worlds away from where she started, her parents Jackie and Anthony remain her greatest influences. Their lasting love and guidance eternally ground Victoria.
