"And you know, we've been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we've ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that's all I really want to say about it," the former Spice Girls singer concluded.
Though the news outlet noted Victoria "does not reply with his name," this is the first time the 51-year-old has publicly addressed her family's rift.

Victoria Beckham Doesn't Feel 'Guilt' About Bringing Kids Into Spotlight
Brooklyn Beckham is the eldest son of David Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham.
Elsewhere in her interview, Victoria shared whether she feels any “remorse” about causing her and David’s four kids — Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21 and Harper, 14 — and even her own parents, to live a life in the spotlight.
"I wouldn’t say it comes with guilt, I’d say that there was a lot of adjusting from my mum and dad, when all of a sudden there were paparazzi outside their house," she explained. "We’ve really taken our families on this ride with us."
'We're Trying to Do the Best We Can'
Rumors of a Beckham family feud first emerged in 2022.
Victoria also noted how different it has been to parent adult children in comparison to when her four kids were younger.
"Being a parent of young adult children and adult children, gosh, I mean, it's very different from having little children," she admitted.
Despite negative press and ongoing attention surrounding her family feud, Victoria declared, "I think that we're trying to do the best we can."
