Victoria Beckham is said to have "the BFF relationship she's always dreamed of" with daughter Harper Beckham, with them spending more time together as she grows up.
The fashion designer, 48, is said to have got closer to her youngest child, 10, whilst husband David Beckham, 47, and their other children have been away from the family home.
The pair are believed to have bonded over fashion, with them now able to go on shopping trips, have long lunches and get their nails done together as Harper gets older.
It's been claimed that Victoria is "absolutely loving it," with her said to have felt "sidelined" in the past - as her children are said to have had a better relationship with their father.
A source spoke about the mother-of-four and her daughter to Heat magazine, saying: "Victoria's finally able to have the BFF relationship she's always dreamed of with Harper."
They said Harper's outlook is "evolving and maturing" as she grows up, with her said to have become more interested in clothes - much to the excitement of her mother.

It's claimed in the article that Victoria however is aware that she's "a little more highly strung" herself, with the source saying she wouldn't do such activities with her children.
