The
Beckham family, long seen as one of the most close-knit and media-savvy celebrity clans in the world, is once again at the centre of intense public scrutiny. Fresh reports suggest a deepening rift between Brooklyn Beckham and his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, with social media activity now fuelling speculation of a serious family fallout. What began as rumours of unfollowing has escalated into claims of blocking, absence from major family milestones, and lingering tensions allegedly linked to Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz. While both sides deny extreme allegations, the situation appears increasingly complex, emotional, and unresolved.
Did Brooklyn BLOCK his parents and brother?
The controversy intensified after reports claimed that David, 50, and Victoria, 51, had unfollowed their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, on Instagram after allegedly being unfollowed themselves. However, Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz Beckham, 20, stepped in to set the record straight.Sharing a screenshot of the Daily Mail report on his Instagram Stories, Cruz wrote: “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I.” His statement instantly went viral, adding fuel to what many are now calling a full-blown
Beckham family feud.Cruz’s post appears to confirm that Brooklyn has blocked not only his parents but also his brother on social media. The revelation has intensified speculation about the role Nicola Peltz may be playing in the rift. According to
The Mirror, Nicola does not follow either David or Victoria on Instagram, showing the apparent digital divide between the two families.
The beginning of bitter feelings
Reports claim tensions date back to 2022, around the time of Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish, multi-million-pound wedding. One of the earliest flashpoints was Nicola’s decision to wear a Valentino gown instead of a dress designed by her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham. Although both women publicly denied any fallout, insiders have long suggested the incident marked the beginning of lingering resentment.Since then, the distance has reportedly grown. Brooklyn and Nicola held a vow renewal ceremony in August at the Peltz family’s estate in Westchester, New York, officiated by Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson Peltz. David and Victoria were notably absent, despite having attended the original wedding three years ago.
Brooklyn-Nicola's constant absence
Brooklyn’s absence from key moments in his father’s life has also raised eyebrows. He did not attend David Beckham’s knighthood ceremony on 4 November, where the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and PSG star was honoured for his services to football and British society.Further reports suggest the rift may be partly rooted in financial and lifestyle differences. Sources claim Brooklyn and Nicola’s decision to settle permanently in Los Angeles, where they purchased an 11 million pounds mansion, may have contributed to tensions. According to reports, the property was largely funded through Nicola’s trust, approved by her father, with the Beckhams allegedly not contributing financially, a move that some in Nicola’s circle reportedly viewed as 'tight.'However, insiders close to Brooklyn insist his move to LA had nothing to do with distancing himself from his parents. They say he has always felt at home in the city, having lived there during David’s LA Galaxy years, and that both his and Nicola’s careers are firmly based in the US.
David-Victoria's concern
Meanwhile, some reports claim David and Victoria are worried their son may be “trapped” in a situation that leaves him financially dependent on the Peltz family. This narrative has only added to public speculation, though both sides strongly deny such claims.A source close to Brooklyn and Nicola dismissed the allegations as “deliberately cruel and baseless,” while representatives for David and Victoria have reportedly labelled suggestions of a financial dispute as “nonsense.”Despite these denials, the strained social media ties, missed family milestones, and public rebuttals suggest that relations remain fragile, with Cruz openly speaking against his brother. Whether the Beckhams can mend the growing divide remains to be seen, but for now, the once picture-perfect family appears to be going through one of its most challenging chapters yet.
