Victoria is the ultimate working mom and she's definitely not the same woman that the media portrays her to be! In fact, since having her first child Brooklyn in 1999, she has massively adapted her parenting style, especially since she went on to have two more boys and finally a girl.

Telling the world your thoughts on parenting and then actually applying those principles behind closed doors are two completely different things. While Victoria has made certain statements about being a mother, it's clear that she does still act differently when no one is watching.

In all, Victoria Beckham has four kids with David Beckham: 19-year-old Brooklyn, 15-year-old Romeo, 13-year-old Cruz, and 7-year-old Harper.

Not one kid got the short end of the stick when it comes to genes as all of them look like they could already be models. It likely won't be much longer until they all make a name for themselves, but in the meantime, Victoria is still stunning her fans on a regular basis with fascinating snaps into her life. Not only do these 20 pictures show a snapshot into Victoria's ultra-private life, but they also show a completely different side to her as she's not the never smiling ice queen that everyone thinks she is.

20 The Mom Cut

Attention: the 90's called it does not want it's terrible hairstyle back. Luckily, Victoria got the memo and eventually grew out her hair into the fabulous mane that she now sports, but back when she gave birth to her first child in 1999, Brooklyn, Heart.co.uk points out that she did what most of us do: she got the dreaded mom cut.

Look here's the thing: it's true that it works for many moms. Especially in the baby's first year of life, it can be just that much easier to have short hair. But we can all probably agree that longer locks simply suit her better.

19 Always The Cheerleader

Fast forward from 1999 all the way to 2004 and Victoria has luckily come to her senses with regards to her hair. Despite her crazy work schedule, she has always found time to attend both her husband's games and be there for her kids -- sometimes combining both at the same time.

Case in point here, she's getting lots of cuddle time with Brooklyn, all the while cheering David Beckham on.

Even at two years old, Brooklyn was already pretty adept with a soccer ball (or should we say football?) and by the time this picture was snapped when he was about five years old, according to Teen Vogue, he must have been as good as dad. Just kidding, of course!

18 Shout At Home, Never At Work

Then again, her little mommy meltdown shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. In 2016, she penned a letter in Vogue to her 18-year-old self saying: "You will shout at home but never at work. Be a nice boss."

Solid advice if it weren't for the fact that she definitely shouldn't be yelling at her kids.

The reality is that she probably isn't actually shouting per say. As parents, we all lose our cool at one time or another and then stare in horror at the open window in the realization that all the neighbors probably just heard you.

17 She Has Learned The #1 Mom Rule

In between having four kids, three boys and one girl, Victoria Beckham has learned the #1 mom rule. Forget shouting/ not shouting, being crunchy/unhealthy... no. This other mom rules trumps every single other one and is one that every mom can relate to.

If you want time to yourself, you better do it either way after everyone has gone to bed or way before anyone gets up.

Whichever you choose depends entirely on whether you're a morning person or a night owl.

"I get up quite early, around 6 am, and do an hour in the gym before the kids get up, then I give them breakfast and David or I take them to school. I'll then fit in another hour's workout before I go to the office. I'm very disciplined, I have to be," Victoria told Elle.

16 No Carbs Or Sweets

Okay, so that's not entirely true. Whereas she's know to eater super healthy, avoiding carbs, sugar and all the good stuff as much as possible, she does allow her kids to eat differently.

"I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables and a lot of fruit. I work out every day, six or seven days [a week]," she told Harper's Bazaar.

Although she has posted lots of pictures of her kids eating pizza, pasta, ice cream and lots of other "unhealthy" foods, it's clear that she does also try to teach them how to eat healthy, which includes occasional trips to the grocery store - in incredibly high heels, of course.

15 The Next Justin Bieber

Whereas before she had almost exclusively only posted about her eldest Brooklyn, Mama Victoria switched gears in April 2016 when she posted this video of Cruz singing. As soon as she posted the clip, the video went absolutely viral for all the right reasons because turns out that Victoria's third child could totally be the next Justin Bieber!

Since then, she has posted yet another clip of him singing, this time tagging the famous producer Rodney Jerkins, also known as Darkchild. But surely, having performed all over the world with the Spice Girls, she wouldn't need to tag him? We can only imagine how many connections she has!

14 Oopsy Daisy

Just like Hilary Duff and her Disneyland moment, Victoria Beckham landed in some hot waters for a picture that she shared of herself kissing her daughter Harper... on the lips.

But like the vaccines debate, whether parents should be kissing their kids on the lips is another one of those topics that get parents all hot and bothered.

Sure enough, the online opinion was divided over the picture, which she captioned: "Kisses from mummy."

It's a totally sweet moment, but as CNN reported, many users wrote comments such as "This is disgusting."

Turns out that David Beckham kisses his sons on the lips too, but that's a whole other story.

13 Total Mom Meltdown

Never ever has Posh Spice been seen making this face again. This was literally the first and last time ever. The woman who reportedly never smiles (but she totally does, just ask TheRichest) was pictured at the exact perfect moment.

In this amazing shot, she can be seen totally losing it and turning into full raging mom mode.

Who would have thought that her eyebrows could move up that much? In all seriousness though, the Daily Mail reported in 2011 that, "As Cruz grabbed Brooklyn’s ears and yanked on them, the 36-year-old fashion designer pointed her finger and told them to cut it out and pay attention to their father’s football match."

12 First Fashion Show

For being as fashion forward as she is, Victoria was actually slow to catch onto the whole social media thing. Like everyone else, she created her Instagram account pretty much at the same time as everyone else in 2012, but she didn't really start posting the interesting stuff until 2015.

Even before getting to the most personal pics, she posted this one of the entire family attending her first ever fashion show. It's not a super personal pic yet, but it's one of the first that she has ever posted of her family all together and it's a major step in the right direction.

After the fashion show came to an end, Glamour reports that "She paused in the doorway, and then immediately headed over to her family, taking time to give a little kiss to everyone." With that, she effectively showed everyone that her family is more important to her than her career.

11 The New InstaMom

These two pics that Victoria posted of her eldest son Brooklyn to her Instagram mark one of the first times that she posted truly candid shots of her children. Prior to this turning moment, which happened in August 2015, she had pretty much never posted anything concerning her kids on her social media accounts, unless it was from an official event. Even a couple of months before, she only posted a pic of him with a bunny-shaped pancake covering his entire face.

As such, it's with these two pics that she also started solidifying her status as an Instamom that many began looking up to.

10 Doesn't Care If She Embarrasses Him

Once the floodgate opened, there was no more stopping mommy Victoria. The proud mama didn't hesitate to post more pics of her eldest, such as this pic with the caption: "Never too old for a kiss from mum X #embarrassingmummoment X vb 🙏🏼💜💫"

Unlike Kelly Ripa's kids, he doesn't seem all that bothered. He's actually never said anything about it and clearly, he doesn't mind since she went on to post about a hundred more time about him since.

Nearly every time, she makes sure to mention just how proud she is of him -- kind of obvious who her favorite is, to be honest!

Whereas most kids would be embarrassed, he just seems to love the attention, and has also created his own Instagram account around the same time. There aren't too many pics of his mom on his account though.

9 They Didn't Know About Posh Spice

As crazy as it sounds, it took a while for Victoria Beckham's kids to learn that she used to be a major pop star with the Spice Girls. Crazy right? As ET Online reported, fans were absolutely shaken when Victoria posted a couple of snaps of her daughter Harper playing with Spice Girls dolls, but it's the caption that had them reveling in amazement.

"When u find out mummy was a pop star!!" she wrote, also adding, "Harper loves her Spice Girl dolls."

Isn't that the most precious thing ever? But there is a danger in giving her daughter the dolls as Harper may have decided to exclusively play with a Spice Girl other than Posh. Maybe that's why she never posted about her daughter playing with the dolls again?

8 Her Kids Run Her... Sometimes

Spending lots of time with her kids including letting them do anything they want with her -- that's pretty much the meaning of parenting right there.

While we may imagine Victoria to be an ice queen who doesn't smile for fear of cracking her face, the reality of her familial situation is quite different.

Just recently, she posted a series of snaps showing her daughter Harper experimenting with a makeup palette. As reported by Metro.co.uk, she captioned her Instagram story, saying, "So creative!!! Harper wants to turn me into the emoji cat!"

She also later asked, "A future makeup artist?"

7 She Now Smiles In Private

When Posh Spice posted this adorable picture of herself smiling alongside her youngest Harper, fans went wild, but not for the reason that you might think. It's this cute pic that prompted fans and tabloids alike to zero in on the fact that she barely ever smiles.

While answering 73 Questions with Victoria Beckham, she explained why she rarely smiles in public, saying,

"I’m smiling on the inside. I feel that I have a responsibility to the fashion community."

She once even stepped out in a t-shirt of her own making with "Fashion Stole My Smile" written on the front in big letters. Touché, Victoria, touché.

6 Lots Of One-On-One Time

Victoria is one happy proud mom and here's another picture to prove it. As Royal Things pointed out, fans went absolutely wild when she posted this smiling picture with her son, especially since she captioned it, "Special day spending time with @brooklynbeckham."

It's so sweet that despite her crazy hectic schedule, she still finds time to not only spend time with her family as a whole, but also one-on-one.

There are so many pics of her spending time with each kid individually and quite frequently too! It probably helps that she's worth $450 million, according to TheRichest, allowing her to play hooky pretty much whenever she wants.

5 Harper's Posh Accent

When Victoria recently shared a video of her youngest daughter Harper reading out loud, fans just couldn't get enough of her sweet accent. As Mirror points out, she can be heard reading from a notebook, "Hi, I'm six, almost seven, and I love books and my family too. Which is Cruz, Romeo, Brooklyn, Mummy and Daddy."

Fans were quick to point out just how "posh" and "well spoken" she sounded. Another fan wrote, "She's got a lovely sound to her voice. She'd make a brilliant animated person."

Praise for mom Victoria rained in from everyone, telling her what a great job she has done with her kids and we agree!

4 Fans Just Can't Get Enough Of Him

Victoria Beckham wrote the most delicious mom comment ever when she posted a picture of herself with her eldest, Brooklyn on Instagram.

"Is that a mustache u r trying to grow," she hilariously asked.

As moms, we have this uncanny ability to embarrass our sons and daughters without even meaning to, but the good news is that Brooklyn doesn't seem all that bothered. As already mentioned, he's never said anything about her recent oversharing tendencies on social media and just happily goes along with any pic and caption that she posts of him and their family. Although, it would be interesting to know if there was ever a pic that did embarrass him!

3 Always Praising Dad

As much as Victoria is one strong mama, she also makes it well known how much she appreciates having David Beckham in her life. She never misses an opportunity to show him love on social media, frequently sending lots of kiss and love.

There have been many Victoria and David split rumors in recent weeks, but so far so good.

As Elle pointed out, she recently shared lots of pics of the happy family together, with David even "[putting] a loving arm around her neck." According to MSN, they have called claims of their split "laughable" and "embarrassing."

Only time will tell the truth, but for now, they're still firmly together.

2 Had To Learn The Hard Way

We all live and learn, but there's one lesson that Posh Spice learned the hard way. She revealed to Vogue in an interview:

"A word on school sports day: never wear platform heels and flares if you have to take part in the mothers’ race. And never believe another mum when she says she will stick with you at the back of the race. Because she won’t. And when they announce, “It’s the taking part that counts,” it’s not. It’s all about winning."

The mom of four is known for wearing skyscraper high heels, so it's not exactly all that surprising that she wouldn't have a pair of running shoes handy. Then again, she really should have thought about it in advance, but at least she was a good sport about it because turns out she took off her heels to take part in the race anyway!

1 Family First Always

Victoria Beckham is known to be an extremely hard worker, but no matter what, she always puts her family first.

In the letter that she wrote to her 18-year-old self in Vogue, she said about being a mother: "Once you are a parent, you worry. And you are going to have four, so that’s a lot of worry! Mum likes to say, 'You might be 42, but I still worry about you.'” Children mean that you will be constantly tired and will develop big bags under your eyes. Your children will always come first, but never forget who you are and what you want to achieve.

She also went on to say,"Is it possible to have it all? To be a successful working mother? You will hear this question asked by many women as you grow older. What you will realize is that by working hard, yet always putting family first, it will be possible to achieve that balance. Nothing will be perfect, but it is only now that I have learned to appreciate all I have and all I have been blessed with. I am happy."
