Recent speculation suggested that Brooklyn and Nicola were feuding with their younger brother Romeo, over his girlfriend. However, a new reports suggest the feud stems directly from David and Victoria Beckham. Here’s everything that has been happening in the Beckham family and what we know.
Brookly and Nicole ‘fed up’ with Beckham parents
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are reportedly 'fed up' with the behaviour of David and Victoria Beckham as per sources. They told TMZ that the couple views Brooklyn’s famous parents as 'toxic' and 'narcissistic', citing incidents where David allegedly 'verbally berates' his son over the phone.
Nicola, supportive of Brooklyn, is said to consistently stand up against the alleged mistreatment, with insiders revealing she's quick to speak out against the family dynamics. A source said:
She always talks back to them and stands up for Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, one source claimed that Victoria tactfully sends Nicola affectionate texts immediately after the arguments, supposedly to cover for any harsh exchanges David may have just had with Brooklyn.
According to TMZ, the couple feels particularly 'devastated' by what they describe as David and Victoria's 'performative' gestures, suggesting the famous parents prefer public image over genuinely resolving family tensions.
The family was notably divided when Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David’s extravagant 50th birthday celebrations in London. A source for The Sun described the situation as Victoria’s 'worst nightmare', stressing how emotionally difficult this rift has been, especially given the family had previously worked to repair relations following tension around Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding.
A source close to Victoria told Metro Newsshe found the absence particularly 'devastating.’ The source said:
Victoria hates to think about her family being so divided, especially with it involving one of her children. Brooklyn’s absence at David’s 50th birthday party was noticeable and she desperately wished he would have been there.
She’s hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are. They’ve always been a close-knit family and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.
Brooklyn opens up about father
Amid the swirling rumours, Brooklyn Beckham recently addressed his relationship with David, attempting to downplay speculation about family rifts. Speaking candidly at the Formula E Evo Sessions in Miami, Brooklyn said:
It’s something that me and my dad bonded over.
Referring to their shared passion for racing, he added:
My dad’s had some pretty cool cars…[his number one is his] 1954 Jaguar, which I very rarely drive, only when the weather’s perfect.
Meanwhile, David made a public attempt at reconciliation on Instagram, explicitly stating Brooklyn was 'missed' from a family fishing trip planned for his birthday celebrations in Scotland. Further demonstrating attempts at reconciliation, David recently included Brooklyn in a heartfelt Mother's Day post dedicated to Victoria, captioning it warmly as a gesture of familial unity.
