Brooklyn Beckham will be notably absent from the Christmas Day wedding of Holly Ramsay and Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, marking a significant snub that insiders have described as a "great shame".
A Friendship Fades Amid Celebrity Upbringing
The 26-year-old aspiring chef was once a central figure in the tight-knit circle of celebrity offspring, growing up closely with Holly Ramsay and her twin brother Jack. The trio shared the unique experience of navigating childhood under the intense spotlight cast by their globally famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham and Gordon and Tana Ramsay.
Despite this historic closeness, Brooklyn is expected to spend the festive period in the United States with his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, and her family, rather than attending the nuptials in Bath, Somerset. His parents and siblings, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, are all scheduled to be at the wedding.
The Strained Ties and Social Media Block
A source close to the families revealed the depth of the rift, stating that while David and Victoria see the Ramsays "almost as family," Brooklyn's friendship with Jack Ramsay has all but dissolved. "They are very, very fond of Brooklyn. They’ve known him since he was tiny," the insider said, noting that Gordon and Tana have been upset by the fallout.
The situation reached a new low this week when Brooklyn blocked his entire immediate family on Instagram, including his 14-year-old sister Harper. This move is seen by his parents as a sign of "complete estrangement." Over the past year, Brooklyn has increasingly distanced himself from the Beckhams, prioritising time with Nicola's billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, and missing major family milestones like David's 50th birthday and knighthood celebrations.
Seeking 'Peace at Christmas' Away from the Feud
Sources indicate that Brooklyn's absence from the wedding avoids a potentially awkward encounter with his parents. Reports suggest the couple explicitly asked David and Victoria to "back off" to allow them "peace at Christmas." A friend of the Peltz Beckhams stated, "It would be really in the holiday spirit if the Beckhams could just back off and leave them alone for now."
The insider added poignantly, "Brooklyn doesn’t appear to see many of his friends he hung out with before Nicola any more and that is very sad. These are people who he goes way back with and Holly is one of them." As Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty prepare to tie the knot, the absence of a once-cherished family friend will undoubtedly cast a shadow over the celebrations, highlighting a very public celebrity rift.
