Brooklyn Peltz Beckham took to social media on Monday to express his frustrations with his famous parents, Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria Beckham. In a candid post, the 26-year-old revealed that he felt compelled to speak up for himself due to the control his parents exerted over their family’s narrative.
Using his Instagram platform, Brooklyn addressed the longstanding rumors of discord within the Beckham family, particularly since his marriage to American actress Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2022. He emphasized that this was the first time he was standing up for himself.
The allegations made by Brooklyn could potentially tarnish the carefully crafted public image of his parents. Notably, his father, David Beckham, avoided addressing the situation when questioned by reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Brooklyn’s rift with the Beckham family has been a topic of interest, with speculations arising even before his marriage. His various career pursuits, such as football, modeling, photography, and culinary influencing, have kept him in the public eye alongside his high-profile marriage to Nicola Peltz.
Brooklyn accused his parents of trying to sabotage his relationship with Nicola even before their wedding. He highlighted instances where his mother allegedly interfered with the wedding planning, including a controversial incident during their first dance as a married couple.
Despite the ongoing tensions, the Peltz Beckhams have continued to attend public events together, but notably absent from family gatherings. Brooklyn revealed that his father’s conditions for meeting him post-wedding strained their relationship further.
Brooklyn claimed that his parents manipulated public perception through social media, prioritizing the “Brand Beckham” image over authentic family relationships. This narrative was further explored by a columnist who criticized the commodification of Brooklyn from a young age.
In contrast, David Beckham appeared to express a desire for reconciliation in a recent interview, emphasizing the importance of guiding children in the digital age. However, Brooklyn’s firm stance on not reconciling with his family signals a definitive break from the past, citing a newfound sense of peace and relief.
