Cruz Beckham took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a video of him duetting with his mother, Victoria Beckham, singing her iconic hit, Viva Forever. He played a guitar and sang while his fashion icon mum joined in, and husband Sir David Beckham, who was behind the lens, even added a hint of vocals even though he couldn't be seen on screen.
If, like many fans, you were busy being bowled over by the collaboration, appreciating the harmonised vocals, you may have missed the house rule Victoria enforced while it was being filmed. During the sing-along, their pet pooches were roaming the space, and one of the dogs must have jumped up onto the sofa where Victoria was sitting because she could be heard firmly saying: "Get down." See the clip above.

Problems with pets at home
As a resident celebrity homes specialist, I can safely say the A-list are divided when it comes to their doggies. Some pet owners like Ariana Grande, Ben Fogle and Amanda Seyfried like to snuggle up with their dogs at nighttime in bed, however, others believe that's a big no-no. Kevin Hart says absolutely no dogs in the bed, claiming: "It's not sanitary," but his fellow actor pal, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, says he would allow a dog in his bed, he said in an interview for Scary Mommy.
The Beckhams' dogs could actually be costing them big time at home, according to market research. In fact, pet owners in the UK are hit with £1.23 billion in repairs each year as reported by insurance trade body, ABI.
Kate Devine, insurance expert at MoneySuperMarket, told Property Reporter: "A challenge faced by both first-time and experienced dog owners is the destruction of furniture and other household items. While you can try and minimise the risks, it isn’t always possible to eliminate all damage. No matter their age, we recommend that you check your home insurance policy to ensure you are covered for any accidental damage caused by your pets. Without adequate cover, you may find yourself paying hundreds of pounds for repairs."

The family also have a country retreat in Chipping Norton, where they love to escape on weekends. This sprawling estate was featured on Victoria's Netflix documentary recently. They paid £6 million at the time for the residence and have since invested millions to renovate the place. The family also has a Miami base for when they are stateside, so quite the property portfolio!
