Introduction
When it comes to posh parenting, Victoria Beckham might have just outdone herself. This week, the internet collectively raised its eyebrows (and maybe gagged a little) when it was revealed that she still holds on to Brooklyn Beckham’s baby teeth. Yes, really. As fans digest this oddly sweet—and strangely spooky—discovery, social media is spiraling into one giant group chat of opinions, jokes, and a few light dry heaves.
The reveal came courtesy of a throwback post shared by Victoria on her Instagram Stories. Amid snaps of old school projects, toddler shoes, and adorable Beckham memorabilia was one unexpected item: a tiny clear container labeled “Brooklyn’s Teeth.” Nestled inside? What looked suspiciously like human molars, preserved with the kind of care usually reserved for royal jewels or rare Pokemon cards.
The internet exploded, of course. “I love my kid,” tweeted one user, “but his teeth? That’s where I draw the line.” Others chimed in with a mix of horror and awe. “I guess when you marry David Beckham, you can afford to store tiny ivory trophies for 25 years,” wrote another fan.
Naturally, the Beckham clan is no stranger to odd keepsakes—David once revealed he has kept all of Harper’s school uniforms “because she’s growing up too fast.” But this? This adds a whole new layer to the family scrapbook.
In the body-positive, sentimental-meets-quirky world of celebrity parenting, Victoria’s tooth collection may not be the weirdest thing—but it’s certainly the most talked about this week. Experts (yes, actual ones) were even quoted in tabloids, explaining that saving baby teeth is a “bonding tradition.” Though, to be fair, most of us stopped at one tooth tucked into a memory box—not a whole dental file worthy of a crime series.
Victoria Beckham has always marched to the beat of her own ultra-luxurious drum—from Spice Girl glam to fashion mogul cool—and now, apparently, Tooth Fairy archivist. Whether you find it charming, creepy, or oddly inspiring, there’s no denying it: Victoria doesn’t do anything halfway. If she’s saving teeth, she’s saving all of them. And let’s face it—when your family tree includes future models, musicians, and football royalty, every molar might just be a museum piece.
