The Beckham family feud has intensified after Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz failed to attend any of David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations, despite being in London. The couple were notably absent from a series of events, including a private gathering in the Cotswolds and a star-studded dinner party in Notting Hill. Reports suggest that Brooklyn offered to meet his father privately but was turned down, with the family insisting on a collective celebration.
At the centre of the drama is Romeo Beckham's girlfriend, model and DJ Kim Turnbull, 25, who attended the birthday festivities. It has emerged that Brooklyn, 26, had a brief teenage relationship with Kim, leading to discomfort. Sources claim that Brooklyn and Nicola have stopped publicly engaging with Romeo on social media and refused to attend Victoria Beckham's fashion show in March because Kim was present.
The rift between the brothers reportedly began in December and has worsened. Brooklyn is said to feel protective of Romeo but does not approve of the relationship. Meanwhile, Nicola has been accused of controlling behaviour, with insiders alleging she creates drama that makes it impossible for Brooklyn to attend family events. “It all stinks of a control thing,” a source told the Daily Mail, adding that the family is “done with Nicola now.”
David and Victoria Beckham are said to be keen to heal the rift, which has become increasingly public due to the family's social media presence. A source told the Mirror: “It has become a problem and not something they can keep private. Things have escalated in recent months, and there is a very obvious rift that David and Victoria would love to heal.”
