Brooklyn Peltz Beckham made a bold statement on Monday, expressing his frustration with his famous parents in a passionate social media outburst. Feeling compelled to speak up for himself, the 26-year-old son of soccer icon Sir David Beckham and former Spice Girl Lady Victoria Beckham accused them of controlling the narrative surrounding their family.
In a series of Instagram stories, Brooklyn addressed the long-speculated family divide that has been apparent since before his marriage to American actress Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2022. “I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he wrote.
The allegations could potentially tarnish the carefully crafted public images of his parents. Despite his father, 50, evading questions from reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the rift within the Beckham family has come to the forefront.
Brooklyn, the eldest of the four Beckham children, has always been in the limelight due to his varied career pursuits, including football, modeling, photography, and food influencing. His marriage to Nicola Peltz, known for her roles in “Transformers: Age of Extinction” and “Bates Motel,” further intensified the public interest in the family dynamics.
The young Beckham revealed details of disagreements with his parents, accusing them of attempting to sabotage his relationship with Nicola even before their marriage. He claimed his mother canceled making Nicola’s wedding dress at the last minute and interfered with their wedding dance, causing him discomfort and humiliation in front of guests.
Despite the ongoing tensions, the couple continued to make public appearances, albeit without the rest of the family since a fashion show in Paris in September 2024. Brooklyn’s claims of his parents’ manipulation of the media and their focus on the “Brand Beckham” image have further fueled the family feud.
While David Beckham hinted at reconciliation efforts in a recent interview, Brooklyn seems resolute in his decision to distance himself from his family. Expressing relief and peace after stepping away, he emphasized that he has no intention of reconciling with them.
The open conflict within the Beckham family has captivated public attention, shedding light on the complexities and challenges faced by even the most high-profile families in the spotlight.
