Brooklyn Beckham has admitted he can seem “annoying” while working with people. The budding chef, 27, is embroiled in a public feud with the rest of his family, having lashed out at his parents in a scathing statement in January.
Cloud 23 Hot Sauce Launch
Amid the family tension, the US-based star has been keeping busy promoting his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, which he launched in 2024. Discussing the company, he revealed he and his wife Nicola Peltz came up with the idea while they were “really drunk” - before dishing the habit his CEO finds frustrating.
“Four years ago I was trying to work out what I wanted to do with my life, what I wanted to do for work,” he said at Tribeca Film Festival in New York. “Basically my wife and I got really drunk in our apartment while making hot sauce.”
Beckham went on: “I watched a short little video on how to make it and the next day I tried it again. I really wanted to see what I could create. I'm always calling the CEO on Sunday at 10pm with a crazy idea of what direction we might go in or a condiment idea. I'll call with a ridiculous idea. I can come across as annoying sometimes.”
The former budding photographer launched Cloud23 in October 2024 and shares regular recipe videos on Instagram using his condiments.
Feud with Parents
Beckham has been living an increasingly distant life from the rest of his famous family since he accused his “controlling” parents Victoria and David of trying to “ruin” his marriage to Peltz, 31, and being all about the public narrative and “Brand Beckham”. He claimed relations became strained around the time of his 2022 wedding to Peltz.
Beckham accused Victoria of pulling out of making Peltz’s wedding dress at the last minute and dancing “inappropriately on him” at the wedding. DJ Fat Tony, who performed at the wedding brunch, later backed up Beckham’s claims, saying Marc Anthony told Beckham to put his hands on Victoria’s hips and that the dance was “really awkward”.
Beckham also criticised his father David, claiming that despite travelling to the UK for David’s 50th birthday, repeated requests to meet beforehand were ignored. The influencer said he was eventually offered a meeting on the condition that Nicola was not invited. He recently removed a tattoo tribute to David, 51, and has reportedly told his parents to only contact him through a lawyer.
Victoria Beckham's Response
Victoria, 52, finally broke her silence on his comments in April and went on to discuss her “publicly challenging” year on the Today show in the US. She acknowledged the strain of the family fallout, telling the Wall Street Journal: “I think that we've always - we love our children so much. We've always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we've been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we've ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that's all I really want to say about it.”
And on the Today show, host Jenna Bush Hager directly asked Victoria, “How do you get through the tough times?” and noted she’d had a “pretty public challenging year”. The designer replied: “You know, myself and David, we’re so close and we have incredible people around us. We’re close to my parents and David’s parents. We support each other through everything that we do. We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children.”
