The Spice Girls may have defined the ’90s, but their legacy is living on through their children. In a revealing new interview, Phoenix Brown—the daughter of Mel B (Scary Spice)—shared rare insights into her lifelong friendship with the Beckham brothers, describing them as the siblings she never had.
A Bond Born in the Hospital
The connection between the families started literally at birth. Phoenix, whose father is Mel B’s ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, was born in London just days before Brooklyn Beckham in 1999.
“We were born in the same hospital—I literally grew up with them,” Phoenix told Hello! Magazine. This unique “twinning” start laid the groundwork for a childhood spent in the glare of the paparazzi but anchored by private family playdates.
Growing Up in the Spice Circle
For Phoenix, the Beckham household wasn’t a celebrity fortress; it was a second home. She recalls spending significant time at their various residences, forming deep ties with Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.
Family Ties: “I have so many good memories of me and the boys. We were around each other’s houses a lot,” she shared.
A “Brotherly” Dynamic: Being an only child for several years before her sisters were born, Phoenix looked to the Beckham boys for that sibling dynamic. “It was like having brothers,” she remarked.
Staying Connected in 2026
Now 27, Phoenix acknowledges that while their lives have taken different paths—with Brooklyn often making headlines for his culinary pursuits and Romeo for his athletic and modeling career—the foundation of their friendship remains solid.
“We’re still in touch, but everyone is busy and has their own life, so we see each other when we can,” she added. Despite the intense media scrutiny surrounding the “Beckham brand,” Phoenix maintains a grounded perspective on her childhood friends.

Silence on the Family Feud
Interestingly, Phoenix chose not to comment on the long-rumored tensions between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, Victoria and David. By keeping her comments focused on her personal memories rather than tabloid drama, she reinforced the protective, family-first attitude that has kept the Spice Girls circle tight for over three decades.
As Victoria Beckham and Mel B continue to celebrate their own friendship—most recently seen during the Spice Girls’ 30th-anniversary rumblings—it’s clear that the “Girl Power” ethos has successfully transitioned to the next generation.
