Brooklyn Beckham’s famously tight-knit family has been at the center of mounting tension. As speculation continues to swirl, questions remain about where Brooklyn stands with his parents, siblings, and extended family, and which relationships have managed to withstand the drama.

What started Brooklyn Beckham’s family feud?

The seeds of Brooklyn’s ongoing issues with his parents reportedly grew at his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz Beckham in Palm Beach, Florida. There, tension over how the big day unfolded began simmering. Speculation centered on Nicola’s choice not to wear a wedding dress from Victoria Beckham’s fashion house. Initially, the decision seemed like a missed opportunity for a cherished family moment. But it allegedly became contentious later when insiders suggested the decision was interpreted as a slight.

That tension was compounded by a moment during the reception when Victoria was reportedly called to the dance floor by guest Marc Anthony, just as the couple’s first dance was supposed to begin. The awkward situation reportedly left Nicola in tears and fueled rumors of friction between the bride and her fashion-designer mother-in-law.

Sources say the awkward wedding dynamics lingered, contributing to a deeper rift that resurfaced in the years after the ceremony as family gatherings were skipped and communication broke down. So, who is Brooklyn still on speaking terms with, and who has been blocked — literally and figuratively — out of his life?

Which family members is Brooklyn Beckham still speaking to?

Brooklyn hasn’t completely cut off family, according to The U.S. Sun. The amateur chef has maintained some quieter contacts with the elder Beckhams and Adams.

Romeo Beckham: Although Brooklyn’s relationship with brother Romeo seems strained — the two have been absent from each other’s recent family events and social media — the model still follows his little brother, 23, on Instagram.

Ted and Sandra Beckham: David Beckham’s parents divorced in 2002 after 33 years of marriage. But they have remained steadfast in their family involvement and communication. The former kitchen fitter and hairdresser attended David’s investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle in November 2025 when he was made a Knight Bachelor. Both Ted and Sandra still speak with Brooklyn. A source told The Sun, “Brooklyn absolutely adores them, and knows how much pain this is causing everyone.”

Anthony and Jackie Adams: Victoria’s parents have supported the family’s dreams and projects for years, as the couple managed their successful electronics business in Hertfordshire, England. Brooklyn speaks with Anthony and Jackie, too, although it’s noted that he has “maintained quieter contact” with both sets of grandparents.

Brooklyn Beckham is not speaking to his parents or brother Cruz

David and Victoria Beckham: Last summer, Brooklyn allegedly asked that his parents only communicate with him privately and via lawyers. As Victoria and David have continued to mention him on social media and like his posts, he’s taken further measures to keep them at arm’s length, blocking them on Instagram and emphasizing that they should only talk through lawyers.

Cruz Beckham: In December 2025, the 20-year-old shared on social media, “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”

Harper Beckham: Brooklyn’s little sister has largely been kept out of the mess. He did publicly reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday in July 2025. Her oldest brother posted a warm birthday message with a photo of him, Harper, and his wife, Nicola, on Instagram Stories. The tribute was one of the only times he’s acknowledged a Beckham family member directly in months.
