The escalating feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his celebrity parents, David and Victoria Beckham, has taken a new turn with accusations that his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, is deliberately fueling the conflict, according to multiple insider reports. Recent actions, including social media deletions and blocks, have brought the long-running family rift back into the spotlight, highlighting Brooklyn’s strained relationship with his family over the past year.
Brooklyn, 26, has been living full-time in the United States with Nicola since their 2022 marriage, growing increasingly close to her billionaire family while distancing himself from his own. Sources indicate that communication with his parents has nearly ceased, with Brooklyn reportedly requesting that they contact him only through lawyers last summer, a move that underscored the depth of the estrangement.
The latest flashpoint occurred over the holidays when Nicola quietly removed all posts featuring the Beckhams from her Instagram account, including a birthday tribute to Victoria from April 2024. Concurrently, Brooklyn blocked his parents and younger brother Cruz on the platform, with Cruz confirming the action by stating they “woke up blocked.” Insiders suggest these steps were taken for Brooklyn’s “mental health,” with Nicola supporting his decisions, though some sources question her motives.
This social media snub follows a series of missed family milestones. Brooklyn and Nicola declined invitations to celebrate David Beckham’s knighthood in the UK last November and skipped his 50th birthday festivities, as well as holiday gatherings. Despite outreach attempts from David and Victoria, the couple has remained absent, with sources describing the parents as hurt but hopeful for reconciliation.
The roots of the feud trace back to before the couple’s lavish wedding in May 2022, when Victoria pulled out of designing Nicola’s wedding dress, leading to tension. The situation worsened at the reception when singer Marc Anthony called Victoria, not Nicola, to dance, reportedly causing Nicola to run off in tears. These incidents have festered, with insiders noting that the conflict has persisted longer than expected.
Currently, Brooklyn is described as being “stuck between a rock and a hard place,” trying to appease his wife while navigating the fallout with his family. Sources claim he prioritizes Nicola’s happiness, with one insider asking, “What is Nicola trying to prove?” by reigniting the feud through recent actions. Another source emphasized that Brooklyn needs to “grow up and sort things out” for any resolution.
Looking ahead, the Beckhams continue to hope for a reconciliation, especially with David spending more time in the US for soccer commitments, which could provide an opportunity for father and son to reconnect. However, with legal barriers and emotional divides in place, the path to mending this high-profile family rift remains uncertain, casting a shadow over one of the world’s most famous clans.
