Victoria Beckham was spotted in a casual khaki tracksuit and trainers during a shopping trip in Manhattan, a departure from her usual polished style, as reports of a deepening rift within the Beckham family continue to surface. The fashion designer was accompanied by her husband David, who carried a Goyard bag, as they enjoyed time in New York following his 50th birthday celebrations.
The outing comes after claims that Victoria is 'heartbroken' over the strained relationship with her son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. The tension was further highlighted when Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend David's birthday party in Notting Hill earlier this month, despite being in London at the time.
A source close to Brooklyn and Nicola claimed that the couple had travelled to London specifically to repair the relationship but were 'refused' a private meeting with Victoria and David. Friends of the couple have accused the Beckham family of 'emotional abuse and toxic behavior', with one stating that Nicola has helped Brooklyn recognise this.
Allegations suggest that Victoria views Nicola as a 'narcissist' and that the feud stems from Nicola choosing to wear a Valentino dress for her wedding in 2022 instead of a design from Victoria's label. Nicola previously denied rumours of a rift, calling them 'hurtful', but reports now indicate the relationship has deteriorated beyond repair.
A source told the Mail On Sunday: 'Nicola has love-bombed Brooklyn since the day they met... Victoria absolutely loves her son – she always will. But with Nicola it’s an entirely different story. She despises her.' The Beckham family reportedly believe Nicola is 'a nightmare'.
