In a surprising development within the ongoing Beckham family saga, television personality Susannah Constantine has publicly declared her allegiance to Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham. The declaration comes amidst a highly publicised family rift that has captured public attention, with Constantine taking to Instagram to voice her support for the young couple.
A Public Declaration of Support
Constantine posted her message on the social media platform just hours after Brooklyn Beckham shared an astonishing public statement criticising his parents. Her Instagram post read: 'Can't believe I'm posting this. But for the record I'm #teambrooklyn @brooklynpeltzbeckham. #truelove.' She elaborated further, writing: 'Of course there are many many more serious injustices to champion. But this young couple's love for each other is one of the few things that is real, deep and unmanufactured. Long live LOVE.'
The Elton John Connection
The television star's intervention reveals deeper connections within this celebrity drama. Constantine's 23-year-old daughter Esme shares a godfather with 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham: none other than music legend Sir Elton John. This shared connection through the celebrated musician adds another layer to the unfolding narrative of divided loyalties within elite social circles.
Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish had previously made their own position clear in June 2025, when they publicly supported Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz on their anniversary. Despite being friends with David and Victoria Beckham for over three decades, Sir Elton delivered what many considered a bombshell show of support for his godson. When Brooklyn shared a loving post dedicated to Nicola marking five years since their engagement, Sir Elton commented: 'Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple,' with Furnish adding: 'Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.'
Historical Ties and Current Tensions
The very public endorsement from Sir Elton and his husband undoubtedly created tension within the Beckham household, given their long-standing friendship with Brooklyn's parents. David Beckham affectionately refers to the musician as 'Uncle Elton', a friendship that began during Beckham's football heyday. Sir Elton was originally scheduled to perform at the Beckhams' 1999 wedding before a heart attack prevented his appearance, though he later sang at one of their children's christenings.
Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham has previously credited Elton John with inspiring her to leave the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter where she confessed that watching her friend perform made her realise her true calling lay beyond singing. These historical connections make the current divisions particularly poignant.
Constantine's Personal Testimony
Susannah Constantine has spoken openly about her relationship with Elton John in the past, describing their bond in glowing terms during a November Instagram post. She wrote: 'Through thick and thin. Highs and lows. Love and hate. Joy and sadness. An unapologetic friendship that always speaks the truth however hard to hear.' She continued: 'Who supports with love, strength and kindness. Elton is of course the genius we all know and adore. But he is so much more. And I have loved him deeply for over 40 years. This friendship is indestructible.'
The Core of the Family Conflict
The public declarations of support come against the backdrop of Brooklyn Beckham's dramatic Monday announcement that he has severed all ties with his parents and does 'not want to reconcile with my family.' He added: 'I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life.' The acrimonious divide has resulted in Brooklyn and Nicola snubbing significant family celebrations in recent months, including his father Sir David's milestone 50th birthday and knighthood celebrations.
In his lengthy statement, Brooklyn claimed he has been 'controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else' and that since being with Nicola, he has found 'peace and relief' after battling crippling anxiety. He concluded: 'My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.' He further explained: 'Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.'
Brooklyn directly addressed accusations about his wife's influence, stating: 'The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.' He expressed his current perspective: 'I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.'
Victoria Beckham's Reported Distress
Reports suggest Victoria Beckham has been left 'devastated' by the family fallout, having borne the brunt of the criticism in Brooklyn's statement. Despite Brooklyn previously declaring himself a 'mama's boy', his recent vitriolic comments have reportedly left her 'on the floor in pieces'. The conflict appears to have been sparked by a trademark battle over the family name, though the exact details remain private.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for the Beckham family for comment regarding these latest developments. As celebrity alliances continue to shift in this very public family drama, the declarations from figures like Susannah Constantine and Sir Elton John highlight how personal relationships and loyalties are being tested within these interconnected social circles.
