The Beckham family drama just doesn’t seem to end. For months, fans and media have been talking about the tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Things became more obvious recently when Brooklyn didn’t show up at his mother’s Netflix docuseries premiere earlier this month. His absence only added more fuel to the rumors that all is still not well between him and his family.
Even though no one in the family has publicly spoken about it, reports suggest that Brooklyn has no plans to reconcile right now. Interestingly, sources say his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, isn’t the main reason for the distance anymore.
According to Us Weekly, both Brooklyn and Nicola have no interest in reconnecting with the Beckhams at the moment. An insider shared that the couple just wants peace and a simple life away from all the drama. They’ve built their own little world and feel happy in it. The source also revealed that Brooklyn barely communicates with his parents or his younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz. Things are still tense between them, and the couple believes it’s better to let time heal the wounds rather than force anything.
The gap between Brooklyn and his family reportedly widened when he and Nicola skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in May. It was said that Brooklyn had told some family members he didn’t want to stay in touch for now. There were also rumors about a disagreement between Brooklyn and his brother Romeo, which allegedly had something to do with Romeo’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull. People had once linked Kim and Brooklyn, but she cleared the air on Instagram, saying they were never involved romantically.
In September 2025, Brooklyn finally spoke about the ongoing family rumors. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he said he doesn’t pay attention to the gossip and prefers to focus on his marriage and work. He mentioned that he and Nicola are simply living their lives and are happy together. He also said that Nicola has been his biggest support through all the attention and speculation.
As for how the feud started, it reportedly began during Brooklyn and Nicola’s grand 2022 wedding. The first signs of tension appeared when Nicola chose not to wear a wedding dress designed by her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham. Reports also claimed that Victoria “ruined” the couple’s first dance, though people close to her denied this and said she was confused by the accusations.
Later, when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows in August 2024, none of the Beckham family members attended. Still, Victoria tried to show some warmth by mentioning Brooklyn during her speech at her Netflix series premiere, where both Brooklyn and Nicola had a short cameo.
Even with that small gesture, it seems that the rift between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckham family is far from over. For now, the couple seems content living life on their own terms, away from the family spotlight.
