Victoria Beckham Says 'Never Say Never' on Baby No. 5: How Many Kids Is Too Many?

Victoria Beckham already has three sons, a baby daughter and a rich, handsome husband. But the 38-year-old Spice Girl turned fashion mogul may want to expand her family.

Asked where she sees herself and her family in five years, Beckham tells the September issue of Glamour: "I'd never say never about another baby. It’s a juggling act -- a career, family, a husband who’s busy. But I’d never say never!"

As for why she's never seen smiling, she explains, "Do you know, I don’t know?! I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. [Laughs.] Fashion stole my smile! I’ve created this person. And I’m not saying that’s not me, but I wouldn’t say that’s the whole me…. It’s an armor that goes up."

Like most 30-something married women, she's been spending some time reading the racy "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy. "I’m halfway through the second one. I even bought my mum the book! But every time she tries to engage in conversation about it, I kind of dodge the subject. I don’t really want to talk to my mother about S&M.;"

And as successful as she is, she still gets nervous before a fashion show -- and turns to her hubby for support. "He phoned me the night before, and I just said, 'I want you to come be with me. I want a cuddle. I really do.'" Aw ... do you think Victoria should go for baby no. 5? Or are four kids more than enough?

    As many as each person can support 100% by themselves.

    Have all you want, as long as you don't take a penny of government money or social services.

    I have several family members with 7+ kids (and [probably] counting), and they manage just fine, but I've always thought that was way too much... One of my aunts adopted three kids, and ended up 'rehoming' one of them at age 7 or 8 because of mild behavioral issues (throwing fits, breaking rules, and ignoring parents- average kid stuff). I've always thought that maybe she didn't really value her kids as much as she should because she has so many of them... It could be something entirely different, but that's what I've always thought since she doesn't seem to really have an actual bonds with her kids.

    So this is probably a bit stupid, but the main reason I started disliking big families at a young age (probably about 9) was because whenever one of my friends would ask about my extended family, I couldn't tell them exactly how many aunts, uncles, and cousins I had because I only knew about half of them (which was 6 uncles, 7 aunts, and probably around 40+ cousins). I feel like smaller families are more likely to be closer to each other than a big family would be, so I'd never have more than one or two kids (if any at all).

    And I feel like it's absolutely ridiculous to want any more than just five kids... One is enough. China's got the right idea.

    I have not found that smaller families are tighter....depends of the family not the family size ...so you are saying you would support the government limiting families sizes to one child?

    I think most people should only have certain amount, 5 or 6 maybe, unless you want to adopt. I don't think the U.S. government should interfere with that kind of thing. China, on the other hand, is already way overpopulated- in that sort of case, I feel like it's okay to limit the number of kids you're allowed to have (although to two, not one- being an only child sucks).

    The world is scarily overpopulated as it is... I'm not going to look down my nose at people who have 4 or 5 kids, but I worry when I think of the rate at which the earth's population is expanding and the fact that, in the not-so-distant future, we won't have the resources to support our civilisation as we will have ruined the planet beyond repair.

    If I have children I fancy having two and no more. My super-catholic best friend aspires to having 20 children [insert barely suppressed eye-roll]. On a teacher's income? God had better provide indeed.

    I can understand where you're coming from, but I think there are a lot of factors where it probably won't be as bad as people are making it out to be. Take China for instance; there, they only have one child per couple. Soon they'll be a country of 60% old people. When the old people die, the population of China will suddenly drop by quite a lot. o3o And I'm sure there are toher countries going trough the same thing too. I'm just not that good at georgraphy |D

    But 20 kids? Agdf. .3. I plan to have a lot myself but that means 5 or 6, 20 is just...no.

    Imagine going through childbirth 20 times .3. I hope your friend is female; if not then he really isn't thinking of his future wife, lol

    With their income they could have a soccer team of kids & it not even scratch the surface. Other than them, that is up to the couple not me.

    Kids are all about time, if you don't have the time to spend with each one individually at least a couple of times a week then you will have problems. Victoria is a busy woman I don't think she should have anymore.

    It all depends on how many kids you can support. I mean, for most middle class families, two is enough. However, in Victoria Beckham's case, I imagine she could support a very large family. There's really not correct number of kids. It all depends on the person having the kids.

    She can have as many kids as she wants. They both can easily afford and look after them.

    The world is FAR too overpopulated, we as a species need to stop this catastrophic population growth. Smaller population means better quality of life and better care for the planet as a whole.

    So you say there are no problems associated with overpopulation? China and India are restricted from taking steps forward due to the rampant overpopulation that keeps the vast majority of citizens in 3rd world status. Not to mention the fact that vital resources critical for industry are only going to vanish faster with a larger population. I have been to Central Asia, and the smallest family I met had 8 children and lived in abject poverty. With less people, there will be more for them.

    Ehh That's how many I'd like, hopefully one of each gender, or two boys. Communication just dies as the numbers get higher, and personally I want my kids to be able to share everything with me.

    Personally tho, I'd have two then adopt bc there's already kids out there who need support,

    most importantly tho people should have as many kids as they want so long as they can support them.

    I think the Beckhams can afford to have five or more kids, but I only want one, and not for at least ten or more years.
