The Beckhams may be one of the most iconic families in pop culture, but even they aren’t immune to family drama. The spotlight has recently turned toward tensions between David and Victoria Beckham and their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Speculation about a rift intensified after Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from David’s lavish 50th birthday bash at Core restaurant in West London. They also missed the family’s celebratory getaway to France the following day—raising more than a few eyebrows.
According to The Mirror, insiders close to the Beckham clan claim things “haven’t been the same” since Brooklyn began dating Nicola in 2019. One source reportedly said, “This is Victoria’s worst nightmare. The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.” The tension, they claim, stems from lingering issues that began during the planning of Brooklyn and Nicola’s star-studded wedding in 2022.
Despite efforts from Victoria and David to smooth things over with Nicola after an alleged pre-wedding feud between the two women, sources suggest that old wounds have resurfaced.
The Sun reports that the couple flew to London in hopes of arranging peace talks—but Victoria and David allegedly refused to meet. One source shared, “As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria and David are behaving this way instead of privately discussing the issue… They seem to have no interest in finding a solution that works for everyone.”
Sources suggest that Brooklyn had every intention of attending his father’s birthday celebration but decided against it because he felt Nicola was unfairly being blamed for the rift. The couple’s decision to skip the event was reportedly due to feeling unwelcome—not disinterest.
This alleged strain comes after years of speculation that Nicola’s entrance into the Beckham fold complicated family dynamics. Despite occasional social media posts suggesting otherwise, insiders say the relationship remains delicate behind the scenes.
Adding fuel to the fire, there are also whispers of tension between Brooklyn and his younger brother, Romeo Beckham. According to Page Six, the brothers are “not on speaking terms”—allegedly due to issues surrounding Romeo’s current girlfriend, who was reportedly once romantically linked to Brooklyn.
However, TMZ reports that jealousy isn’t at play. Instead, Brooklyn is said to be concerned about “the girlfriend’s motives” and has voiced his apprehensions to Romeo, which may have caused a rift between the siblings.
While the Beckham family continues to share picture-perfect moments on social media, insiders say all is not as harmonious as it seems. Whether the alleged tensions will ease or grow deeper remains to be seen—but one thing’s for sure: fans will be watching closely.
