Brooklyn Beckham ‘has no interest in mending things’ with his parents & siblings

Victoria Beckham’s Netflix docuseries was released a few weeks ago. At the premiere, all of her kids showed up… except her oldest, Brooklyn Beckham. Brooklyn’s estrangement from his family has been an ongoing story in the British and American press for the better part of 2025. The big falling out happened around David Beckham’s 50th birthday, in which Brooklyn and his wife Nicola made a point of trying to visit David in the UK, but they were turned away because they were only supposed to turn up for his actual party or something. That was the breaking point, I guess, although we’ve heard a lot about how Victoria’s behavior at Brooklyn’s wedding was really trashy too, which led to Brooklyn and Nicola renewing their vows this year and not inviting anyone from the Beckham family. All of which to say, Brooklyn finally went no-contact with his parents and siblings, and he’s sticking to it.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, are not concerned with piecing his family back together — at least not yet, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.

“Brooklyn has no interest in mending things at this time,” the insider shares. “He’s really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life with Nicola. 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 confirms that there is “still a huge rift in the family,” as Brooklyn, 26, has “not reconciled” with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, and is “not speaking” to his brothers, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, either.

“The relationships are all still strained,” the insider notes.

“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 tells Us, referencing the October 9 debut of the former Spice Girl’s eponymous Netflix series. “It was such a big moment for the family, and she wanted everyone together to celebrate it.”

The source shares that David “feels the same way” as Victoria, adding, “He misses how close they all used to be. David and Victoria have always been about family first, so seeing that distance, especially during milestones that mean so much to them, has been incredibly hard.”

A second insider points the finger at Brooklyn’s brothers, telling Us, “There have been ongoing jabs on social media from Cruz and Romeo, and Brooklyn and Nicola are currently blocked by his brothers, leaving no room for reconciliation.”

Cruz made headlines in July for posting cryptic Instagram Notes about “karma” and an unnamed “fraud.” He also wrote, “Ur dead to me,” though he never publicly named his intended recipient. Romeo, meanwhile, was rumored to have mocked Peltz by writing an Instagram comment nearly identical to one that she posted just two days prior.

Brooklyn broke his silence on the family fallout — and the public attention on it — last month. “Everyone is always going to say rubbish,” he told the Daily Mail while competing in the Ryder Cup Celebrity All-Star Match. “I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.”

It’s interesting that “sources” are basically like: why can’t Brooklyn show up for the PUBLIC events? Do the Beckhams only give a sh-t about appearances and not Brooklyn’s actual feelings? I’m not pro-family-estrangement, but I am an advocate for people taking time and space away from family members they find toxic. While it’s easy for many to shrug off Brooklyn and Nicola’s leaks to People and TMZ, it’s clear that they feel wronged by the Beckhams. I also think Victoria and David have done themselves no favors by loudly and publicly freaking out over… Brooklyn becoming an adult man and centering his wife and her feelings ahead of his parents. Maybe there will eventually be a reconciliation within the Beckham clan, but it will happen after Brooklyn has gotten some space and perspective away from his family. And I think that’s the healthy way to do it.

    They mention that Brooklyn is not speaking to his parents or brothers. Does that mean he still speaks to his sister? Brooklyn adored her when she was little. I wonder if that has changed as well?

    I don’t know…perhaps I am too cynical, but to me it feels like B&N are trying to create their own celebrity brand separate from the Beckhams (ok, sounds appropriate!), but they seem to need to do it by setting themselves apart from/in contrast to the Beckhams (rather than genuinely doing their own thing w/o reference to the rest of the Beckhams).

    It just seems like they are only really in the news when they are commenting on how much they hate B’s family.

    I know they have jobs…I think? She’s an aspiring actor or model and he’s…always trying something new? I know I am not their target audience and not paying enough attention, but my point is that whatever else they do, it does not garner nearly as much media attention as when their “friends” weigh in on with their “They still hate the rest of the Beckhams!” updates.

    It feels like they want to be famous for other stuff, but have overplayed their hand – they just don’t seem that talented or interesting on their own, TBH. So instead, they keep running back to this tired family drama (come on, “my siblings blocked me on social media, ergo no chance of reconciling?!” What in the BRF is that petty silliness?) to stay on people’s radar.

    Alas, maybe I need to be more compassionate! I just can’t muster much sympathy for them.

    It is sad to see. When my daughter was getting married, her mother in law had the hardest time letting her first born son go. His parents openly wept during their wedding reception speeches, about letting their “baby” go. I thought it was insane! They only like her now because she produced beautiful grandchildren for them, that they like to spoil & dote on. Oh and at one point, my son in law had to block his mom because she was being so disrespectful about my daughter.
    My daughter has 2 college degrees and works. Sometimes there is no reasoning with family and I’m glad Brooklyn is taking a break from them.

    I feel for Harper and her brothers, well, all of them. Funny thing to feel badly for the Beckhams, that Victoria and David have it all, but this kind of situation is really difficult.

    My SiL separated my brother from our parents and myself, when I was a few years older than Harper is now. It was a heartbreaker for me, but more so for my parents. If these two get divorced fences can be mended, I imagine fairly quickly, but if these two defy logic and stay together this may end up an estrangement for life.

    As someone currently choosing no contact with my own family, the line that really stood out to me was the one that Victoria and David are really sad that their children are not all together for their press events. Really? That’s what they want to put out there? They’re not sad that they aren’t there to support their son as he grows into his own person and figures out life in this changing world? They’re not sorry that they are missing out on important things in his life? Their statement is so self-centered, ie he needs to be here for us. Your child’s job is not to always be there for you and your press events. Your child’s job is to be himself and grow into his own person Your job is to be there for him.

    Regardless of whether the Beckhams themselves hold the majority of the responsibility for the fallout, I think it’s pretty obvious who’s benefitting from the lion’s share of the attention from this. At the end of the day, David and Victoria built their brand off their talent. You can feel whatever about them as people, but they’re not famous because of family drama. They’re famous for things they actively worked on and accomplished in their lives. The same cannot be said for David and Nicola, and since neither of them has proven themselves to be particularly remarkable outside of the gossip circle.

    If they really want to move on, they’re going to have to stop defining themselves by their feud with his family and actually prove themselves in other areas. The question is, what do they actually value more? Do they want the happy, stable marriage or do they want the fame and attention? They might not actually be able to have both.

  7. jferber says:

    I can never forgive or forget David’s cringe worthy, belly-crawling fawning to get his knighthood and Victoria never sang in her girl group and most likely doesn’t design her own clothes. Also not fond of Brooklyn or Nicola– their brand is very wealthy, untalented and clout-chasing his famous parents with feuds and bitterness. Not a fan of any of them.

  8. Libra says:

    Something, maybe several things, went bad bef ore, during and after the wedding. There was a difference of opinion on what really went down about Nicolas choice of wedding gown.Victoria was rumored to have tried to wrest control from the bride’s mother. Also rumored to have made the reception all about her and diverting attention from the bride. Something also irregular about the morning after brunch according to stunned caterers. Recollections may differ,but both bride and groom seem deeply upset.

  9. Jais says:

    Snarky SM comments from the brothers isn’t an ideal environment for reconciliation. Taking space and time and not bad mouthing anyone to the press is the best way to go. And listen if there are tensions bts and someone doesn’t want to play nice in front of the cameras then they don’t have to, premiere or not. It would be nice if they can get to a place where the parents respect the son AND his wife and vice versa.
