David Beckham Addresses Family Storm After Brooklyn’s Instagram Allegations

David Beckham has finally broken his silence - albeit indirectly - amid mounting speculation over a growing rift within his family after his eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, made a series of striking claims on social media.

Brooklyn, 26, sent shockwaves through Instagram earlier this week by alleging that his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, attempted to interfere in and even "ruin" his marriage to actress Nicola Peltz. The posts marked the most public chapter yet in what has long been rumoured to be a strained relationship between the Beckhams and their eldest child.

While David Beckham has avoided addressing the allegations head-on, his recent public appearances have drawn significant attention. The former England captain was seen attending

the World Economic Forum in Switzerland shortly after Brooklyn's Instagram stories went viral. When reporters from Sky News asked if he had a message for his son or felt disappointed that private family matters had become public, Beckham offered only a brief smile before walking away without comment.

However, the 50-year-old later appeared to subtly acknowledge the situation during an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, where he spoke candidly about parenting, social media, and the responsibility that comes with public platforms. Without referencing Brooklyn directly, Beckham said, "I've always spoken about social media and the power of it, for the good and for the bad. It can be dangerous, especially with what kids can access these days. "

Beckham went on to explain how he has encouraged his children to use social media constructively, highlighting his own advocacy work as an example. "What I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it (social media) for the right reasons. I've been able to use my platform and my following for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what's going on around the world for children," he added.

Acknowledging the challenges of parenthood, Beckham reflected on raising his four children - Brooklyn, Romeo (23), Cruz (20), and Harper (14). "They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids," he stated.

While the Beckhams have yet to publicly resolve the situation, David's measured remarks suggest a preference for restraint, reflection, and keeping family matters away from further public escalation.
