This Christmas will look markedly different for the Beckham and Peltz families, as a simmering feud has been publicly confirmed by a dramatic social media move. Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria, has blocked his immediate family on Instagram, ensuring the festive season will be spent an ocean apart.
Social Media Snub Confirms Family Rift
The revelation came earlier this week, not from Brooklyn himself, but via his brother Romeo's Instagram account. This action, seen as Brooklyn taking matters into his own hands, is the clearest indication yet that relations are strained. While the precise cause of the disagreement remains private, the digital block speaks volumes, confirming that things are not "all smooth sailing" between the two wealthy clans.
It has now been some time since Brooklyn last celebrated Christmas with his parents and siblings in the UK. This year, predictions suggest the Beckhams will remain at one of their luxurious British properties, while Brooklyn will be "across the pond" in the United States with his wife, billionaire's daughter Nicola Peltz.
Olive Branches and Lavish Decorations
Despite the tension, there have been subtle gestures. Victoria Beckham recently shared a photo on her Instagram Stories of Christmas stockings hung by the fireplace, each embroidered with her children's names. Significantly, Brooklyn's stocking was still in place, interpreted by many as a quiet olive branch from his mother.
Meanwhile, Nicola Peltz has showcased her own extravagant festive preparations. On her social media, she posted clips of a lavishly decorated home, complete with a staircase banister draped in stockings and a towering tree adorned with opulent baubles and lights. The couple's location for the day itself remains a mystery; a recent photo from Nicola featuring palm trees suggests they may be in an exotic, warm-weather destination.
A History of United Festivities Now in the Past
The split marks a stark contrast to previous years. Old photographs show the families united for Christmas celebrations, and Nicola has spent the holiday with the Beckhams before. David Beckham was recently seen collecting his Christmas tree in stylish fashion via motorcycle and sidecar, while Victoria opted for a traditional real tree in their £31.5 million London townhouse.
For Nicola, this Christmas also follows a period of personal loss, having previously spent the season with her grandmother before she passed away in 2024. This year, she and Brooklyn appear a united front, frequently sharing affectionate posts of one another. As the festive day arrives, the two families are set to celebrate in their signature lavish style, but for the first time in years, they will do so separately.
