Posh has big plans for Cruz as she sets him up as the next baby Bieber

Pushy Spice has gone full ‘stage mom’

et’s face it, when you are a child of Victoria and David Beckham, getting a job in your local supermarke­t was never an option. So, it’s hardly surprising that Posh has big plans for third son Cruz – she thinks he has what it takes to be a big music star.

“Victoria is determined for all of her children to become stars in their own right,” our source explains. “She is entirely behind launching Cruz as the new Bieber, as that’s what he really wants. She knows he’s got the talent and she feels she can guide him, thanks to her days as a Spice Girl. She would never force her children to do anything they didn’t want to do, but music is Cruz’s passion.”

Last week, Victoria – who also has Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, and six-year-old Harper with David – posted a video of Cruz, 13, singing on her Instagram, and within two days, it had over four million views. The video follows on from Cruz’s 2016 debut single If Every Day Was Christmas. Now, Posh is all set for Cruz hitting the big time.

Our source says, “He’s being eyed up by loads of agents, but at the moment, she’s happy to stick with Scooter Braun, who has been with him since the start, and is the man who shaped Justin’s career. They know Cruz will cope with fame – he’s had it all of his life. Both David and Victoria will make sure he doesn’t go off the rails, but think they can guide him. They won’t rush him into releasing an album as they don’t want him to fail, so they will be drip-feeding stuff on social media at first. Then, they will release another single and see how that goes.”

The Beckham family are good friends with Biebs, 24, who achieved worldwide fame after being signed up by Scooter when he was 13. Justin has already given Cruz advice on making it as a teen star, and it’s not just Cruz’s famous mum and dad who think he’ll be able to emulate the success of his idol.

After watching the video, one fan wrote, “Great voice! He kinda sounds like Justin Bieber when he started out.” While another said, “He’s like a mini Justin Bieber.”

And if Posh gets her way, we’ll no doubt be seeing a lot more of this young man and his singing talent.
