The typically unshakeable Beckham brand is facing an unexpected challenge as Wayne Rooney's new documentary threatens to expose private family matters that David and Victoria have fiercely protected for years.
The Documentary Revelation That's Causing Ripples
According to sources close to the situation, the Beckhams are "deeply upset" and "feeling betrayed" after discovering that Rooney's upcoming production will feature segments discussing Victoria's perceived lack of warmth toward the footballer's family during their Manchester United days.
The documentary, which promises unprecedented access to Rooney's life and career, reportedly includes commentary about how Victoria allegedly didn't make Rooney's family feel welcome when they visited the Beckhams' home.
A Friendship Tested by Time and Tell-Alls
This isn't the first time the former England teammates' relationship has faced strain. The documentary revelations come years after Rooney's testimony during a 2017 court case, where he discussed being unaware of a charity event David was organising.
Insiders suggest the Beckhams feel particularly stung given their previous support for Rooney during challenging periods in his career and personal life. The couple have built their brand on maintaining tight control over their public image, making any unsanctioned discussion of private matters particularly troubling.
The Beckham Response: Disappointment and Distance
Those familiar with the situation indicate that David and Victoria are taking the matter seriously, viewing it as an unnecessary dredging up of past tensions. The couple, who have their own highly successful Netflix documentary, understand the power of the platform but apparently feel boundaries have been crossed.
The situation highlights the complex dynamics that can emerge when former teammates transition into media subjects, with personal histories becoming public property through documentary storytelling.
As the football world awaits the documentary's full release, questions remain about whether this latest revelation will permanently damage one of English football's most famous friendships or simply represent another chapter in their long, complicated history.
