Despite a very public and ongoing rift with his famous family, Brooklyn Beckham has seemingly brushed off the drama, choosing instead to share an intimate moment with his wife, billionaire's daughter Nicola Peltz.
A Loved-Up Display Amidst Tension
The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham posted a photograph of the pair sitting closely together on a sofa, both dressed in matching grey outfits. Brooklyn, looking at his phone, and Nicola, beaming broadly, appeared to be sharing a private joke. In a tender caption, Brooklyn revealed his affectionate nickname for his spouse, writing: "You're my sweetie pie."
The post was captioned with the claim, "we didn’t plan our outfits." However, the attempt at a carefree, romantic display was met with a wave of concern from followers, who flooded the comments section with pleas for him to mend fences with the Beckham clan.
The Background of the Family Fallout
The couple's post comes after months of speculation about a serious breakdown in family relations. Brooklyn has been conspicuously absent from major family events, including his father David's 50th birthday celebrations, his mother Victoria's Netflix premiere, and her Paris Fashion Week show.
Reports suggest he has also grown distant from his grandparents and siblings. Notably, 2025 marked the first Christmas Brooklyn spent without his immediate family, choosing instead to stay at home in Los Angeles with Nicola and reportedly visiting his in-laws.
While David and Victoria have maintained a dignified silence, their youngest son Cruz Beckham recently broke ranks. He publicly confirmed the feud, telling fans that his parents had woken up to find themselves blocked by Brooklyn on social media.
Fan Reaction and Calls for Reconciliation
The comment section on Nicola's Instagram post became a forum for fans to express their dismay. Many directed emotional appeals to Brooklyn, urging him to reconnect with his parents and siblings.
One follower commented: "When you become a parent you will understand true heartbreak. Call your parents, they raised you and have always loved you." Another simply stated: "Call your mum and dad mate! Siblings, they are the only ones that will truly care and love you and always be there for you. Life is too short."
Others were more critical of the couple's social media activity. One user questioned the authenticity, asking: "If you have to constantly film it for everyone, is it actually real?" Another sceptically remarked on their coordinated outfits: "But you did plan to get rid of the Beckham family."
Speculation of Swipes and Snubs
The tension appears to extend to family friends. Last week, the couple did not attend the wedding of Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty, an event which the entire Beckham family attended due to their long-standing friendship with Gordon and Tana Ramsay.
Around the same time, Nicola posted a selfie captioned "Love being home," which some interpreted as a subtle dig. Brooklyn enthusiastically commented "Damn she sexy xx" on the post, further emphasising their insular world.
As the new year approaches, the spotlight remains firmly on whether the eldest Beckham heir will take steps to heal the very public divide with his family, or if his life with Nicola Peltz will continue on its separate path.
