In a dramatic escalation of the long-running Beckham family rift, Brooklyn Beckham has severed his final digital connection to his parents, football legend David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham. The 26-year-old has unfollowed both his mother and father on Instagram, and they have reciprocated by unfollowing his account.
A Digital Door Slammed Shut
The social media disconnect, which occurred on 20 December 2025, represents a significant hardening of positions. Until that date, Brooklyn had maintained a thread of connection by following his parents' accounts, despite being largely estranged from them for much of the year. This digital cut-off means he likely will not have seen a recent apparent olive branch from his mother, Victoria, who shared on her Instagram Stories that her own mother was still hanging a Christmas stocking for Brooklyn.
This move mirrors a similar incident earlier in the year involving Brooklyn's younger brothers. Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, discovered they had been blocked by or unfollowed by both Romeo and Cruz Beckham, a move described by a source to The Sun as "the Gen Z version of World War Three." It remains unclear whether the latest action with David and Victoria was a mutual unfollowing or a blocking.
A Year of Snubs and Silence
The Instagram fallout is the latest in a series of public snubs that have defined the family feud throughout 2025. Brooklyn chose not to attend his father's knighthood ceremony or his 50th birthday celebrations. Furthermore, when he and Nicola renewed their wedding vows in the summer, no members of the Beckham family were invited to the event.
While his younger sister, Harper Seven, now has an Instagram account, the rift began before she joined the platform, and Brooklyn has not started following her. This underscores the comprehensive nature of the separation, which now appears to encompass his entire immediate family.
Christmas Plans Signal Deepening Divide
Any hopes for a festive reconciliation have been firmly dashed. Despite Victoria's subtle plea via social media, Brooklyn and Nicola have opted to spend Christmas with the Peltz family in Miami, Florida. Nicola posted a photo of Brooklyn lounging with her brother at her family's Palm Beach mansion, a stark contrast to the previous year.
In 2024, the couple celebrated the holidays with the Beckhams. Victoria marked the occasion on Boxing Day by sharing a family photo, captioning it: "Being together for the holidays makes me so happy. I love you all so much." The silence from both Brooklyn and Nicola regarding the Beckhams this year speaks volumes about the current state of relations.
Sources previously indicated that Brooklyn was open to reconciliation but only if his parents issued a public apology to him and his wife. With the Instagram unfollowing and separate holiday plans, such a resolution now seems more distant than ever, cementing this celebrity family feud as one of the most protracted and public of the year.
