Victoria Beckham is on a roll.
The fashion mogul, 52, revealed she won’t stop working anytime soon in an interview with U.K. newspaper The Times that was published on Wednesday, May 27.
When asked if she has plans to retire, she said, “I just love what I do. I love the people that I work with. So, at the moment, no.”

“To be honest, I'd be really bored. I would be really, really bored. I love being busy. Also, I think it's really good that the children see how passionate I am about what I do,” Beckham, who shares four kids with husband David Beckham, continued.
“They see the work ethic that both myself and David has, as well. I think it's good that the children see that, and it's wonderful for us to see that our children have passion. They have work ethic. They are driven," she said.
“I think that you have to lead by example, as well, when you have children,” she added.
Beckham had her breakthrough in the 1990s as part of the Spice Girls. She went on to have a successful solo music career before launching her eponymous fashion brand.
The English star has also been the subject of several documentaries, including Netflix’s 2025 docuseries.

“I almost lost everything, and that was a dark, dark time. I used to cry before I went to work every day because I felt like a firefighter. We were 10s of millions in the red," Beckham revealed.
"Yes, I’m going home to my husband, but I’m going home to my business partner as well. And so I would talk to him about it. I had to. He was invested. And I hated it. I absolutely hated it,” she said.
The singer later found a business partner in businessman David Belhassen, who told her she had to be willing to "change everything" and "restructure the business" so it could survive.
“Part of the problem was people were really afraid to tell me no," Beckham said. "People thought that I wasn’t used to hearing, ‘no.’ I’ll hold my hands up and be accountable for things that I have done that I should have done and could have done differently, and I was in debt. There was a lot I had to change. I realized I’d lost my way.”

Back in April, Beckham reflected on making her self-titled Netflix docuseries at the Time100 Summit in New York City.
“It was like a year's intense therapy, if I can be honest,” she said. “Because I always live in the present, and I'm always looking forward.”
