On Thursday, October 13, the former Spice Girl, 48, explained on Today with Hoda & Jenna​​ the “simple” reason she got her ink lasered off. “You know I had these tattoos a long, long time ago and they just weren’t particularly delicate,” she explained. “Mine were just a little bit thick and bleeding and just not looking as pretty.”

The fashion designer acknowledged that the removal made fans question her relationship status with the soccer icon, 47, who she has been married to since 1999. As she explained to cohost Hoda Kotb, however, “I was just a bit sick of the tattoo, it’s as simple as that.”

Her eldest son, Brooklyn, got married to actress Nicola Peltz in April and Kotb, 58, asked the former pop star to share her words of wisdom. “It’s about being a close family. And having the lines of communication always open, and just being there.” She added, “You can never really offer advice, you know, the kids have to figure it out themselves.”

The Victoria Beckham designer also opened up about her Paris Fashion Week show and shared how happy it made her feel. “My first big show in Paris felt like such a triumph. I mean it really, really was and I said to myself, in the middle of the pandemic,’ she said. “I’m lucky enough to do another show I’m gonna really, really enjoy it.”

She added, “My ultimate dream has been to build a luxury fashion and beauty house of the future and I’m really, really on this journey and loving it.”

Not only does the mom of four — she shares Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 20, Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11 with David – have a passion for fashion, but she also loves everything beauty-related, which is why she started her makeup line, Victoria Beckham Beauty. “I’m obsessed with makeup,” she gushed. “I’m just creating what I’ve never been able to find in my makeup bag.”

Her focus for the beauty brand, she explained, is on “sustainability, inclusivity, and clean formulas.”

The company is committed to using “environmentally responsible ingredients,” substitutes plastic when they can for brass packing, uses recyclable or recycled materials for shipping boxes and also has an innovative recycling program where her brand helps collect “hard-to-recycle beauty products and diverts them from landfills to find the highest and best use for all materials.”
