Reports of a feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, have escalated, with claims that Brooklyn asked his parents to communicate through lawyers. The 26-year-old hot sauce salesman has been absent from key family events, including his father's 50th birthday party and a vow renewal ceremony in August.
Rumours of a rift began after Brooklyn married Nicola Peltz in 2022, with reports that Nicola refused to wear a Victoria Beckham dress for the wedding. Victoria reportedly told Nicola's mother that her atelier could not make the dress in time, leading to an alternative design. In October 2022, Nicola told the Sunday Times: 'No family is perfect. No family.'
Speculation intensified when Brooklyn and Nicola missed David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. A source told Metro that Brooklyn felt 'disappointed in himself' and wants to reconcile, but the divide has 'separated the family deeply'. Another insider said Victoria is 'desperately hoping' Brooklyn will 'come around'.
Brooklyn also skipped a family fishing trip and remained silent on Father's Day and his father's knighthood, but posted a birthday message for his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz. In a cryptic Instagram post in May, he wrote: 'I always choose you baby', which fans interpreted as a dig at his parents.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly invited Brooklyn and Nicola to dinner, bonding over similar family experiences. A source told The Sun that the quartet dined at the Sussexes' Montecito mansion, with Harry offering 'unwavering support' to Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn's brother Cruz defended the family on Instagram, posting a message saying: 'I love my family... mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what.' He also denied rumours that Brooklyn's ex-girlfriend dated Romeo, stating they 'never dated'.
