Brooklyn Beckham has broken his silence after his sister Harper went to his home, only to have to turn back without entering. On Friday, the youngest child of Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham attempted to visit her older brother at his residence in Los Angeles.
A Family Visit That Fell Flat
The Beckham family was in Los Angeles as Sir David was honored with a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. Just a short drive away from Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street is where Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, live. For years, the Beckhams have been plagued by family rifts, with wannabe chef Brooklyn snubbing his family. Earlier this year, Brooklyn famously slammed his family, alleging that they had attempted to ruin his relationship with Nicola.
Harper arrived at her older brother's home but did not go inside. However, Brooklyn was in New York at the time. In an Instagram Story, he reshared a post showing him out for a run around New York, indicating he was hours away from his Californian home.
A Choreographed Attempt?
A spokesperson for Brooklyn told Page Six: That photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all — this was choreographed for the cameras. The Mirror reported how Brooklyn has struggled to maintain a relationship with his sister while the row with his parents rumbled on. The 27-year-old is currently not talking to David and Victoria, or his brothers Cruz and Romeo, all of whom he has blocked on social media.
However, the situation is very different when it comes to his 14-year-old sister, who it is understood Brooklyn has tried to shield from the family fallout. But a source admits that the fundamental logistics of his little sister living under the same roof as his parents makes things very hard, contact-wise, and the two are not as close as they once were.
Deepening Distance
Brooklyn's distance from his family only deepens further, as he did not make time for his father's Walk of Fame celebrations earlier on Friday. In an interview prior to the ceremony, David refused to discuss the feud with Variety. He said: To be honest, I'm sorry to stop you there, but that's a private matter. That's the one thing that I don't want to talk about.
Earlier this year, Brooklyn furiously said: I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life, following claims he was being controlled by his wife.
