Victoria Beckham: Katie Holmes “a Little Bloated,” Not Pregnant
Victoria Beckham says she and her famous BFFs — Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria Parker and Kate Beckinsale — love to joke about crazy pregnancy rumors.
“You get a little water retention; it’s not news,” Beckham, 34, says in the January issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “Me, Katie, Eva and Kate always joke about how one of us is allegedly pregnant, but no, we’re just a little bloated today! None of us is pregnant.”
But that doesn’t mean Beckham wouldn’t like to have more kids. Already mom to three boys – Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6 and Cruz, 3 – she says she’s ready for a daughter.
“I’m such a girl’s girl,” she says. “I walk into my closet and go, ‘Crikey!’ To one day hand that down to another girl….”
She also opens up about her “very disciplined” diet.
“It’s funny; I go to the gym now,” she says. “I run four miles a day.”
Before events, “I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham.’ I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on shades. I instantly turn into into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it…But it’s a true character because it’s still me.”
She dolls herself up anytime she leaves the house.
“If I go to the supermarket looking like s–t, that affects my work. I am selling an image,” she says. “Plus, I have fun with it.”
She adds that she is learning not to have a scowl on her face all the time.
“I have started smiling,” she says. “I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile.” (She looks angry sometimes, she explains, because she’s “had so many things said about me over the years, like a public bullying.”)
Meanwhile, she says her nine-year marriage to David Beckham is going well.
“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs,” she admits. “I love him more now than when I first met him.
“Back then, there was a certain innocence,” she says. “I look back and think if only I knew then what I know now. I’ve toughened up a lot.”
