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.

    It depends on the family and what they can afford. Isn't there some family on TV with 20 kids or more. They manage just fine. The Beckhams can most certainly afford it, so numbers mean little. My problem is those baby mommas that just drop kids and cannot afford them and don't bother to take care of them very well. Those are folks should not have any.

    To pay for your home, your electricity, your food, your clothing, your entertainment, you need to work. The time remaining is an opportunity to spend with your committed partner. How many is up to the person exercising responsibility.

    That is called freedom of speech, perhaps the person doesn't like them at all that is their preference and by buying custom plates they can afford to express it.

    If she has money, a hubby, and they are well looked after...the more the merrier!
    People are so judgmental about family size! LOL
    I have two healthy kids, three angel babies:( and we have been fostering and waiting to adopt. I would LOVE to carry another child to term ....sometimes things do not go the way we hope:(

    You should see the looks I get when we have a couple of foster kids, and a couple of friends to have a picnic at the park!! or go to Safeway! My two are very well mannored but the friends and the foster kids sometimes have questionable ones people get down right nasty/stuck up....behaving worse then the kids most the time!

    This is STILL a free country(thank God)...for now people have the right to have 6 or none. Both are fine.

    Anonymouse BN-0 ~bibbityboo~
    Five is the maximum people should have as children in a household, really. Any more than that you're going to have a very difficult time... But if you have five, they move out and you have five more, I see nothing wrong with that. I would only want two at most myself, but...

    Five or more.. After four kids, it's just stupid. It's hard to take care of that many kids - with both attention and with monetary resources.

    I voted for myself, since I want two kids. But on this topic, 5 kids is fine for the Beckhams. They're rich, they can afford it. I don't quite approve of poverty-stricken families who have tons of kids they can barely afford to feed. However, she is 38 and I think that's too old to be having kids.

    The average age at first birth for U.S. women is 25 — and rising. Younger women are putting off kids in much greater numbers than older women.
    Births to teens declined 6%, and births to women age 20 to 24 fell a big 7%.
    After that, the decline diminished, coming in at 4% for those 25 to 29, 2% for the 30 to 34 group and 1% for those 35 to 39, while the rate for women 40 to 44 rose 3% for the second year running.
    (The rate for women 45 to 49 held steady at its 2008 high — fueled by egg donation — of 0.7 births per 1,000 women.)

    A woman fertility begins to decline at 25-27 then to REALLY decline in the 30's-40's...there are many that begin menapause in thier mid 30's.

    So put a that together and what do you get?
    As women put off having kids thinking it's no big deal...the clock is tickin. If they do anything that damages their uteral lining or has medical issuses(PCOS or endo) their chances of concieving go WAY down. So they feel cheated....I know SO MANY that fit that.

    Yes a healthy woman can have babies at 35-40 they are the growing numbed of mama's.

    Erm, I'm aware the the proportion of women over 35 having kids is rising. I disapprove of that too.

    But that's just for me as I would prefer to adopt. Maybe have a child of my own. But I think if you can both financially and emotionally support all the children you have, you might as well have them. Still think adoption is better though. Stops overpopulation!

    Actually, there's no "None of the above" option, or "It's up to the couple" option...

    That is an individual choice.. every couple is different... their wants are different...

    It's Victoria's and her hub how many they have, how many's too many, etc...

    It depends. If you want to have kids and you can give each enough love, care and money to live a normal life and make them really good people, breed.

    2 is quite enough. Unless I win the lottery, then 3 might be managable. These people they have nannies, and a whole lot of money. They dont have to worry about the same things normal people do.

    I never wanted kids but Victoria Beckham seems like a hands on mom so if she wants more - and of course she can take care of them - more power to her! At least they will never want for anything. I have an issue with these bimbos that keep getting pregnant with no means of support and could care less about their kids. You want more Victoria -go for it!! Have the kids I never wanted!

    We have a whole passle of kids.

    They get better as they go along, and the older ones help with the younger ones. And it doesn't get that much more expensive. I mean, once you've got the house, you don't need a new one unless you're having quads.

    And for those who yammer about overpopulation, the overpopulation problem is in India, China and Africa, not here in the "West".

    'And for those who yammer about overpopulation, the overpopulation problem is in India, China and Africa, not here in the "West".'

    Last time I checked overpopulation was a global problem. Don't believe me? Stick around for a few hundred years and you'll find out.
