Beckham family crisis: Brooklyn cuts ties with his parents David and Victoria
The Beckham family is no longer the perfect example of family unity that the world used to follow with such enthusiasm on the covers of international magazines and social media platforms. Behind the forced smiles and glamorous photos, a deep family crisis has erupted, placing the names of football legend David Beckham and his wife Victoria in an unenviable position, far removed from the glory days of the pitch and the fashion world.
The end of the era of the unified family "brand"
The Beckham family has always been known as more than just a family; it's a global "Brand Beckham" built over decades. Since the marriage of David, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, to Victoria, the Spice Girls' former wife, the couple has cultivated an image of a close-knit family as a key component of their commercial and public success. However, their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham's, decision to cut ties with his parents threatens to shatter this established image, potentially casting a shadow over the entire family's media legacy.
The Roots of the Crisis: Weddings 2022 and the Turning Point
In a development described by the British press as the most serious in years, reports indicate that the real spark of the dispute wasn't a recent development, but rather dates back to 2022, specifically during preparations for Brooklyn Beckham's wedding to American actress and heiress to billionaire Nelson Peltz, Nicola Peltz. Reports at the time spoke of sharp tensions between Victoria Beckham and her daughter-in-law Nicola, centered on the design of the wedding dress and the arrangements for the ceremony—disagreements that apparently were never fully resolved but rather festered beneath the surface.
Geographical distance and bias towards the Peltz family
To make matters worse, the geographical relocation and shift in allegiances have exacerbated the situation. Brooklyn and his wife have settled permanently in the United States, moving away from the Beckham family's London residence. Observers note that Brooklyn has become closer to his wife's wealthy and influential family, frequently appearing with her father-in-law and brothers at social events and private holidays, while conspicuously absent from Beckham family gatherings. This has been interpreted as a clear bias towards his wife and an adoption of the American lifestyle of the Peltz family.
Cold War via social media
The absence wasn't limited to the physical realm; it extended to the digital sphere. Observers noticed a marked cooling of interaction between Brooklyn and his parents on Instagram, where the shared comments and photos that once characterized their accounts were absent. Conversely, Brooklyn consistently posts public messages of support for his wife, Nicola, considering her his top priority. This sends a clear message highlighting the deep rift with his parents and the failure of David Beckham's behind-the-scenes attempts to reconcile them.
