David and Victoria Beckham Were Rumored to Be Feuding With Son Brooklyn Years Before Estrangement

David and Victoria Beckham and their son, Brooklyn Beckham, are reportedly no longer speaking. The distance between family members became obvious this year, with Brooklyn failing to attend several family events. Some sources say that the feud has dragged on for years, though. While the family denied it, signs of trouble began cropping up in 2022.

David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly not speaking to their son, Brooklyn

This May, David celebrated his 50th birthday with his family and friends. Notably absent from the festivities was Brooklyn, the couple’s eldest child. Brooklyn also failed to attend his father’s knighting ceremony. The famous couple’s son reportedly has little interest in spending time with his parents or other siblings.

“Brooklyn has no interest in mending things at this time,” a source told Us Weekly. “He’s really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life with Nicola [Peltz]. They’ve built their own world together and are very content in it. They want to let things settle naturally rather than trying to fix something that still feels tense.”

The source added that there is “still a huge rift in the family.” This has reportedly been difficult for David and Victoria.

“It’s been heartbreaking for Victoria and David to not have all their children together during huge press events for the family, like Victoria’s documentary release,” the source said. “It was such a big moment for the family, and she wanted everyone together to celebrate it.”

The feud between family members reportedly started years ago

Discussion about the feud has recently picked up, but many sources report that the family’s troubles began after Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola Peltz. Peltz wore a Valentino wedding dress instead of a Victoria Beckham-designed gown, leading some to believe that they were feuding. Peltz said that she’d originally wanted to wear one of Victoria’s dresses, but plans fell apart.

“I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that,” Brooklyn told Variety. “They’re always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good.”

Some sources also reported that Peltz left the wedding in tears after singer Marc Anthony dedicated a song to Victoria. Brooklyn, Victoria, and Peltz all pushed back against these rumors and spent time together publicly in the following months. Still, their distance now hints that there are problems within the family unit.

David and Victoria Beckham’s mothers are struggling with Brooklyn’s absence

As the holidays near, other family members are reportedly growing weary of the feud. Both David and Victoria’s mothers are sad that Brooklyn could be missing during family events.

“David and Victoria are making peace with not having Brooklyn around, they are sad but they are having to accept it,” a source told The Daily Mail. “But it’s the grandmothers. They adore Brooklyn, they were so, so close to him. He loved them so much, he adored them in fact, but now they don’t see him.”

None of the Beckhams have spoken publicly about the apparent rift.
