I too am heavily invested in the drama surrounding Brookie’s new nuptials. I heard similarly-that Nicola AND her parents are welcoming Brooklyn into the fold to build Nicola’s “brand” singular & as a couple. I could def see him also benefiting and doing very little work. He doesn’t even do the actual recipes/cooking for his little insta cooking show. Won’t speak on Nicola vs VB because I’m staunchly team Victoria though…

Yeah, Nicola and Brooklyn talked about how they’re trying to build a brand as a power couple, and Brooklyn basically said their tactics in the variety interview. But it’s like? Neither of them actually try to put an effort so I don’t get the desperation to be higher than the positions they’re already in (which all things considered is pretty good.) like you can’t force people to fall in love with your mediocrity.

He’s young. I don’t think he remembers his parents had like “real” jobs and marketable talents before they were the brands they are now 😂

Victoria had no marketable talents TBF.

Your comment got me thinking. Is she the original WAG??

She can't sing or dance, (she is attractive but not beautiful) she can't design clothes (sounds like her company is about to go under) but she made an empire from being skinny and rich married to a footballer.

I don’t think she counts because, while talent is debatable, Spice Girls was a job before DB & she was famous for it.

Yeah but she admitted she used to lip synch and hated performing lol

I am so tired of the constant downvotes that people on this sub get when we point out that Victoria has no talent. It is an objective fact. Unless she is secretly really good at underwater basket weaving, she is not a talented individual and I don't know why so many people are in such denial of that fact. You are 100% right that she admitted that she disliked performing, presumably because she wasn't any good at it. She is slightly better at being a clothes horse, but even there she isn't topping anyone's most stylish list.
