Adam Peaty’s estranged family have weighed in on the Brooklyn Beckham family rift, drawing parallels with their own ongoing fallout. The swimmer’s parents, Caroline and Mark, were reportedly invited to his winter wedding to Holly Ramsay in December but later uninvited, mirroring the discord between Brooklyn and his parents David and Victoria.
An insider told The Sun that Peaty’s relatives find the Beckham situation “very sad”. The source said: “Brooklyn stated he wanted communications through solicitors then proceeded to post on social media. What he has put in his statement doesn’t tally with what we know of the Beckhams. If that’s what he says is his truth, who are we to mainstay but we support the Beckhams.” The source added: “Brooklyn wouldn’t have had the opportunities he has had but for his parents. Would he be married to his wife were he not a Beckham?”
Caroline Peaty, on the eve of her son’s wedding, told the Mail: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.” Adam is not on speaking terms with his two brothers; his brother James was originally set to be a groomsman but was uninvited. Reports suggest threatening messages were sent and that Adam believed his parents sided with his brother.
Brooklyn Beckham made a series of claims about his parents on Monday, alleging they tried to control his life and bribe him to sign away his name. He stated: “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.” He accused his mother of cancelling Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress design and of calling him “evil” over seating arrangements. Brooklyn also claimed his brothers were sent to attack him on social media before blocking him.
