David and Victoria Beckham would reportedly "take back Brooklyn in a minute" and are said to be "horrified" by the very public family rift that exploded this week, according to new sources close to the famous couple. The Beckhams' eldest son escalated their long-running private tensions dramatically on Monday by posting a blistering six-page statement to his Instagram account, making numerous serious allegations against his parents.
Public Accusations and Private Heartbreak
Brooklyn Beckham, aged 26, declared in his statement that he does not wish to reconcile with his family and accused his parents of intentionally trying to sabotage his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz, who is 30. The lengthy post contained multiple specific grievances, ranging from wedding planning conflicts to allegations of emotional manipulation and public image management at the expense of genuine family relationships.
Now, a source reportedly close to David and Victoria has revealed that the couple would welcome their son back into the family fold "anytime he wants to reunite with them" because they are "afraid" of losing him forever. The insider explained: "They are afraid of losing their son and would take him back in a minute. They are a close family, too. Just in a different way than Nicola's family is."
Parental Devastation and Hope for Reconciliation
The source continued to tell PEOPLE magazine: "They love Brooklyn and are horrified about everything." Meanwhile, a second source added to the publication: "David and Victoria believe time will heal this. They know over time that Brooklyn will come back. They can't really do anything until then."
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Victoria, 51, and David, 50, for comment on the escalating family drama that has captivated public attention.
The Controversial Wedding Dance Incident
In his scathing social media post, Brooklyn had specifically accused Victoria of "dancing inappropriate" on him during his 2022 wedding to Nicola. Their wedding DJ, Fat Tony, has now provided detailed context about the incident during an appearance on This Morning. The 60-year-old branded the situation "really awkward" and confirmed that Nicola fled the reception in tears following the dance floor incident.
Tony, a longtime friend of the Beckham family, claimed that musician Marc Anthony was responsible for the awkward moment, revealing that Anthony had called Victoria to the dance floor with her son and instructed Brooklyn to "place your hands on your mother's hips." The DJ elaborated: "There was no slut-dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action! The word 'inappropriate' - why I said it was as well - it was the timing, this is what happened."
First Dance Drama Recounted
Tony continued his detailed account: "What happened was, basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage. Brooklyn went on to the stage, and the next minute everyone's expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage - and then he says 'Victoria, come to the stage.'"
He revealed that Brooklyn looked "devastated" that his first dance was with his mother rather than his new wife, adding that Nicola left the room "crying her eyes out." Tony further explained: "Brooklyn is stuck there on stage, and they do this dance, and Marc Anthony says 'put your hands on your mother's hips' and it was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room."
Perspective on Family Dynamics
The wedding DJ offered perspective on the Beckham family's typical behavior: "I've done an awful lot of Beckham parties in the past, and they are a very dancing close-knit family and love to dance, right? So you know, what we deem as 'inappropriate' is not how Brooklyn feels. This is all about how Brooklyn feels. If he feels that it was inappropriate and awkward, it was inappropriate and awkward."
He added thoughtfully: "What's sad is that this is the bit that everyone's taken from the statement, and kind of whitewashed everything else that went on."
Exclusive Details from the Dance Floor
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the DJ provided additional physical details about the controversial moment, saying that at one point Brooklyn's hands were on his mother's waist while her arms were placed around his neck. "The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be a bride and groom's moment," he told the publication. "It was in the heat of the moment. Brooklyn left right after the dance. Nicola left the room and afterwards he went after her. Nicola's family left, they went after their daughter."
When asked specifically about the physical positioning during the dance, he confirmed: "Well, yeah. It was slow dancing, it wasn't like some samba number. Victoria had her arms around his neck." He went on to express his personal sadness about the situation: "Brooklyn is a friend of mine. The whole situation is just awful, the way it's played out so publicly. Families are families, I don't know what started it. At one point someone might say something publicly."
Broader Family Conflict Context
The DJ concluded with insight into how small incidents can escalate within family conflicts: "Brooklyn is upset about a lot of things, sometimes the smallest of things can become bigger the biggest of things, because it highlights it. I'm not speaking bad about either party in it, I'm just putting the narrative straight about the dance."
Brooklyn's comprehensive statement outlined numerous grievances beyond the wedding dance incident, including allegations about his parents attempting to control narratives in the press, pressure regarding his name rights, exclusion of his wife from family events, and what he described as the prioritization of "Brand Beckham" over genuine family relationships. He emphasized that since distancing himself from his family, he has found peace and relief from anxiety that had plagued him for years.
