Brooklyn Beckham blocked parents David-Victoria? All about their family feud
What's the story
The Beckham family, often considered one of the most glamorous in pop culture, is reportedly facing a rift. The situation has been brewing for nearly a year and recently escalated when Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham, seemingly blocked his famous parents on social media. This comes amid reported tensions involving his wife Nicola Peltz. Here's a detailed breakdown of the ongoing drama.
Family dynamics
Beckham family's public image and alleged tensions
David and Victoria Beckham have been a fixture in pop culture since their relationship began in 1997. The couple has four children: Brooklyn (26), Romeo (23), Cruz (20), and Harper (14). However, the family dynamic reportedly changed after Brooklyn's marriage to actor and billionaire heiress Peltz in April 2022. Alleged tensions between Peltz and Victoria reportedly started during wedding planning, particularly over Peltz's choice of a Valentino Couture gown instead of a Victoria Beckham design.
Communication breakdown
Social media unfollowing
Over the weekend, news broke out that Beckham blocked his parents and brother Cruz on Instagram. Reacting to a news piece by Daily Mail, Cruz stated that David and Victoria didn't unfollow Beckham but woke up to being blocked. Neither Beckham nor Peltz follows David or Victoria anymore, indicating a complete communication breakdown.
Family gatherings
Beckham family events and common exes
Beckham and Peltz's absence from David's 50th birthday celebrations in London was another sign of the rift. The oldest son reportedly traveled to London but was denied a private meeting with his father before the main celebrations. He ultimately didn't show up to either public festivities or preceding family arrangements because he was uncomfortable being in the same room as Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. Tabloids have speculated that Turnbull was once linked to Beckham before dating his younger brother.
Family separation
Victoria reportedly upset over Beckham's absence
Amid the ongoing drama, a source told Heatworld that Victoria is reportedly upset over Beckham's absence from Christmas celebrations. The family is likely to spend the holiday apart, with Beckham and Peltz in the US with her family and David, Victoria, and their younger children (Romeo, Cruz, and Harper) in the UK. This further underscores the growing distance within the Beckham family.
