Brooklyn Peltz Beckham chose to spend Christmas with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, and her parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz, rather than with his own family, amid an ongoing rift with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
The couple shared photos on Instagram of themselves in matching red festive pyjamas in front of a Christmas tree. Nicola captioned the post: “We wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year filled with so much love, peace, and happiness.” Meanwhile, Victoria and David celebrated with their youngest son, Cruz, posting videos of their festivities, including Cruz playing guitar and David cutting down a tree.
Reports had claimed that David and Victoria unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram, but Cruz later denied this, saying his parents were blocked, not unfollowed. “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… They woke up blocked… as did I,” he wrote.
The rift allegedly began in April over Romeo’s then-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who reportedly briefly dated Brooklyn. Brooklyn and Nicola later missed Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and David’s birthday. In August, they held a vow renewal ceremony officiated by Nicola’s father, with the Peltz family present but no Beckhams.
In September, Brooklyn told the Daily Mail that he ignores the negativity: “Everyone is always going to say rubbish. I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends.” He added that he has a supportive wife and they focus on their own lives.
