Cruz Beckham couldn't afford Big Mac and was thrown out of McDonalds

Victoria Beckham has revealed that her son Cruz had to go hungry at a McDonalds after he couldn't afford to buy a Big Mac. While the star could have paid for her son's meal, she doesn't want to spoil her children, and he got "turned away".

The former Spice Girl turned fashion star and her husband, David, have four children together - Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven. When their children were growing up, the pair did their best not to spoil them. As such, when Cruz couldn't afford a McDonalds burger, they didn't swoop in to help.

Victoria explained: "Cruz got turned away from McDonald's recently. He got turned away from McDonald's because he didn't have enough money on his card."

As part of a interview with The Sun ahead of the release of her new documentary, Victoria opened up about her parenting style. She also shared that communication is really important to her. "The way we’ve brought up our kids is all about communication.

"It’s good to talk. As a family, we try to have dinner together every night - it’s phones down and ‘What has everyone done today?’ Just making sure that it’s a safe forum for everybody to be honest and talk and laugh."

But, despite efforts to communicate, the relationship between Victoria and her eldest son, Brooklyn, seems to have broken down and the two are reported to be no longer speaking. Brooklyn has snubbed many major Beckham events this year, including the premiere of his mother's documentary. He also did not invite any of his family to his vow renewal.

In addition to this, even though Victoria has tried to make sure her children are aware of their privilege and do not rely on their parents for help, the Beckham children, particularly Brooklyn, have been accused of being nepo babies.

However, Victoria has hit back at those claims, especially concerning her son Cruz. The youngest of the Beckham boys has embarked on a music career and even though his mother found fame as a musician, she says she did not, and could not, help him.

“I mean I can’t really give him any advice — the industry has changed so much," she told The Sun. "But I told him, ‘Don’t expect immediate success’. It’s almost better if it isn’t an immediate success."

She added that he has spent "ten years learning his craft". "“Cruz has got music coming out soon. He’s spent the last ten years learning his craft — much like I did with Roland — learning to play instruments. He taught himself to play about seven instruments. He writes his own songs, he’s put a band together. He’s properly done it from the grass roots up. He hasn’t just come in and sung his songs, or demanded anything."

Victoria is not the only celebrity to try to prevent their children from growing up entitled. TV chef Gordon Ramsay has said he refuses to pay for his kids to fly first class. "I do not want them sat there with a 10 course f**king menu with champagne. I am not embarrassed. It is my wife and I’s choice to discipline them and to keep them real.”
