Victoria Beckham admits she’s been in tears over son Brooklyn

It's been an emotional time for the mum-of-four

Victoria Beckham has confessed she “hasn’t stopped crying” since eldest son Brooklyn left home.

The 18-year-old has flown the nest and gone to New York to study at Parsons School of Design.

And VB is finding the distance between her and her boy particularly hard.

In an interview with make up duo Pixiewoo on YouTube, talk turned away from cosmetics and onto children.

Nic Chapman, one half of Pixiewoo, admitted her little girl was due to start school soon and she was feeling really emotional about it, but that she looked to Victoria for inspiration because she’s proving women can be mothers and still go out there and achieve their business dreams.

Victoria admitted: “I’m still crying, Brooklyn’s moved to New York, he’s 18 and I haven’t stopped crying.

“I miss him so much.”

But then she went on to say: “We’re blessed to have children, if you’re sad your baby’s going to school, it shows you’re a good mum.”

It seems Brooklyn’s enjoying his new surroundings, but revealed last week it has taken a while to settle in.

The keen photographer had hoped that he’d be able to live a more low key life in New York, but he’s finding the female attention a bit too much.

“I like people from school but there are a few fangirls in the school,” he told The Cut.

“Sometimes I have to be like, ‘I’m going to be with you for like four years, so chill.’

He added: “I mean it’s gotten better. They understand and they respect it. But it’s just at the beginning, it’s such a shock to them, so it’s fine.”

The teen enrolled at the Parsons School of Design after picking up his A-level results last month.

Proud mum Victoria, 43, shared a touching message to her son praising him and admitted how much she’s going to miss him.

She wrote: “We are all so proud of you Brooklyn. Amazing A level results and off to college. We love you so much and will miss you. #yesiamcrying #emotional x,” alongside a snap of them both.

Brooklyn has already debuted his first photo book, Brooklyn Beckham: What I see, but admitted he was “nervous” about moving to the Big Apple.

He told GQ: “I’m nervous, and my mum’s upset about me leaving.

“But it’s really exciting. I kind of live in the moment. I don’t think people in New York will annoy me, and I feel like when I go there, I’ll meet lifelong friends.”

Brooklyn shared a snap of his little sister, six-year-old Harper, on Instagram this week, and fans went wild for the artsy pic.

Fans flooded the post, which has already racked up over 500K likes, with comments as one wrote: “She is literally the cutest!”

Another gushed: “Looks like her mummy!”

“She’s growing so fast,” a third added.

One said: “Wow! Her mummy through and through.”

The picture was definitely a hit with fans and even with a few famous faces.

Of course dad David liked the picture as well as former Spice Girl Mel C and Brooklyn’s rumoured on-off girlfriend Chloe Moretz said: “Little lady.”
