he said Sun: ‘It’s not their fault, give them a chance.’

Meanwhile, Romeo continues modeling, Harper develops an interest in beauty and fashion, and Cruz enters the music world as a singer-songwriter.
Despite the criticism, Victoria admitted she was proud of all her children and offered heartfelt advice to Cruz as he prepares to launch his music career.
He told the publication: ‘I told him, ‘Don’t expect immediate success.’
‘You’ve got to start small and build up to it – and that’s exactly what he does, playing small venues, no fuss, doing his own thing.’
Victoria believes success is often better when it takes time, noting that it took 20 years to grow the fashion brand into what it is today.
Cruz continues to promote his new song by sharing product photos revealing the release date.
Beckham’s youngest son has reportedly signed with top music management company C3, which works with US indie band The Strokes.
In another nod to his upcoming music, Cruz shared a photo of the ’10/24/25′ date he first mentioned last month.

Possibly alluding to the lyrics, one T-shirt read, “You want to know what you look like,” while another read, “I know how you feel.”
Finally, one of the t-shirts said ‘Cruz Beckham, Coming Soon’.
Cruz made sure all eyes were on her as she strolled around Paris on Friday wearing a quirky green frog clog.
But while Cruz’s bold fashion choice may have come out of nowhere, it seemed to hint at her upcoming music venture.
‘Frog clues’ have been popping up on Cruz’s social media account for months, and fans are becoming increasingly suspicious.
The frog furore started in April when Cruz added a drawing of a frog cartoon to the end of an Instagram post.
In the following months, she shared numerous photos and videos of herself rehearsing with her band, and included a tongue and frog emoji in the caption of her June post.

It looks like the hints of new music have really accelerated in recent weeks, with Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel joining the frog games
Towards the end of July, Cruz shared a sneak peek of new music while strumming his guitar and singing the lyrics to ‘Green day in Paris’ in the back of the car; This was perhaps a clue to the title of an upcoming album.
Then last week he created his own ‘green day in Paris’ by wearing a quirky £370 green frog clog by JW Anderson as he walked hand in hand with girlfriend Jackie Apostel.
Jackie was also outfitted with green heels and bright green leather gloves, which tied in with the song and frog hints.
And in recent weeks, the hints of new music seem to have really stepped up, with Cruz’s girlfriend joining in on the frog games.
Jackie, who is also a songwriter, posted a photo from rehearsals in mid-September and commented: ‘I think it’s time?’ To which Cruz replied: ‘I agree’.
Meanwhile, as Cruz wore his quirky shoes ahead of Victoria’s Paris Fashion Show on Friday, his girlfriend shared a photo of the couple’s feet on her own Instagram account, as well as a zoomed-in photo of her hat, which also read the date ‘24.10.25’.
Cruz was also seen walking around with the upcoming October date printed on a white T-shirt.
And while this date is thought to be the release date for Victoria’s upcoming Elle USA Magazine cover issue, fans are starting to think it could be something more and could signal the release of new music.
In late July, Cruz shared the first teasers of new music while strumming his guitar and singing the lyrics to “Green day in Paris” in the back of the car.
Jackie, who is also a songwriter, posted a photo from rehearsals in mid-September and commented: ‘I think it’s time?’ Cruz’s response: ‘I accept’
On Sunday, Cruz posed in a frog helmet and sunglasses while asking, “What sound does a horny frog make?” He dropped the biggest clue yet by writing the title.
He then responded to his own caption with “Rubbit” while his girlfriend commented “Toadally”.
Fans went crazy for clues and asked: ‘What happens on the 24th?’ Music?’; ‘New single???’; ‘Hey what does 24.10.25 mean? An appointment for what?’;
‘If this is a release date, I’m definitely up for it’; ‘Go cruzie can’t wait for what happens on the 24th’.
While some speculated whether this was an album announcement, another suggested that his new band’s name was ‘toads’.
They wrote: ‘the album is coming, I feel it’; ‘Cruz tell us? The band’s song is released and the band’s name is frogs? My humble guess’.
The Daily Mail contacted Cruz’s representatives for comment at the time.
As well as making fun of October 24th, fans also marked October 14th in their diaries after sharing a photo on Instagram showing a pile of invitations blocking the date.
Above the date, the invitations read: ‘Cruz D Beckham officially invites you for one night only.’
The picture showing the invitations on her Instagram story was followed by a photo of a guitar with a winking face emoji, leading fans to believe the event was music-related.
Cruz attempted to launch his music career when he was just 11 years old, after releasing his festive single If Everyday Was Christmas in 2016.
He also announced Monday that he will be attending a burger event at the Seaport to collaborate with Hamburger America and its hot sauce.
