Although Victoria Beckham is thrilled her eldest son Brooklyn has finally found true love and a woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, there is one thing she is terrified of – becoming a young grandma.
Brooklyn celebrated his 21st birthday last week, replying to actress girlfriend Nicola Peltz’s gushing post to him with, “Can’t wait for our future together, forever my girl.” But while Posh, 45, is happy for them to get engaged and married, she doesn’t think they’re ready to have a baby.
“Victoria is thrilled that Brooklyn seems to have found genuine happiness and love with Nicola, but she’s also a little worried that they are moving too fast – and even talking babies,” our Beckham source says.
“She has warned him not to even think about making her and David grandparents yet. She’s not joking, either – Brooklyn and Nicola are besotted with each other, and love the idea of getting married and starting a family really fast. They see it as the ultimate commitment to each other, and both come from big families, so they want at least four children. It seems to be a trend for young celebs to have children early, and Victoria is worried that Brooklyn and Nicola will follow suit. And she’s not ready to be known as Granny Spice! She thinks she’s far too young for that.”
Although Victoria had Brooklyn when she was 24 and David was 23, she felt they were ready as they were both so established in their careers as a successful Spice Girl and England footballer.

As heat recently told you, aspiring photographer Brooklyn is keen to propose to Nicola, 24, and it’s clear she has been welcomed into the Beckham family. Last week, she joined Brooklyn, Victoria and David at the launch of David’s Inter Miami football club in Los Angeles, and Victoria was also pictured on a shopping trip with the loved-up couple. Days later, Nicola was at Brooklyn’s side as he celebrated his 21st with his family.
One topic Vic and David – who are also parents to Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and eight-year-old Harper – are definitely united on is whether their son should have a baby just yet. “They want happiness and stability for Brooklyn, but they know how much hard work is involved in raising kids, and how strong the relationship has to be,” a source close to the couple tells us.

“They worry Brooklyn is so swept away in the romance of it all, and the reality would hit him like a tonne of bricks. They just want him to slow down. They are all for him getting engaged, and even married in the next year or two – but children require a maturity that he doesn’t have. But he thinks it would be really cool to be a ‘young dad’. Vic is getting really close to Nicola,and hopes she can convince her that they should concentrate on their careers for longer and spend more time as a couple, as they’ve only been together six months.”
The insider adds, “Vic is trying the route of talking to Nicola about her career options and what’s in the pipeline for her over the next two or three years, and how now is the time to really build her profile and network. She’s hoping that tactic will work – but as always she isn’t very subtle, so she’s really pushing the topic.”
