Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The admission may surprise fans who bought her 528-page autobiography Learning to Fly. According to its cover blurb, Ms Beckham was inspired by the movie Fame. "A line from the theme song stayed with her - 'I'm gonna live for ever, I'm gonna learn how to fly.' With this amazing book she gives us the chance to fly alongside her on her journey from lonely teenager to international star," it says.

The 31-year-old wife of the England football captain, David Beckham, told the interviewer she was keen to have a daughter. She has three sons - Brooklyn, six, Romeo, two, and six-month-old Cruz - and would like a girl. She could imagine "painting her nails, putting on make-up and choosing clothes" with her.

Victoria said of the attention paid by other women to her husband: "He is very good looking, he dresses very well, he is great with children and he has an enormous heart.I am not jealous and when people look at him, I think it's because he's great."

The interview will appear in Chic magazine.
