Gordon Ramsay: Brooklyn Beckham is ‘infatuated,’ he needs to go back to his parents

British people are never beating the “every man must choose between his parents or his spouse” allegations, my god. As we’ve seen, Brooklyn Beckham is completely estranged from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, as well as a few of his siblings. At first, David and Victoria just treated Nicola Peltz like crap and tried to ruin Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding. The estrangement began last year, when Brooklyn finally had enough of his parents’ meddling and their tabloid briefings. Brooklyn even described, in his own words, why he needed space from his parents in a series of tell-all Instagram Stories posts. Well, the Beckhams’ good friend Gordon Ramsay came out in a recent interview to trash Brooklyn and declare that Brooklyn is merely temporarily infatuated with Nicola, his wife of nearly four years, and that Brooklyn will eventually come to his senses and go running “back” to his parents.

Celebrity Chef… Gordon Ramsay has hailed David and Victoria Beckham as fantastic parents — and said time will help Brooklyn heal their heartbreaking family feud. The Michelin-starred restauranteur, 59, said he loves the aspiring chef, 26, and has been in contact offering support.

Loyal Gordon, a long-time family friend, said: “It’s a very difficult situation. Victoria is upset, and I know 24/7, seven days a week, just how much David loves Brooklyn. Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible. But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.

“I’ve seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible. They’ve both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they’ve got Brooklyn out of the s***. I think it’s going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him. He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do. But remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop. I just want Brooklyn to take a moment to himself. And remember: you’re half mum, half dad. And you’re an amazing young man. But, boy, they’ve done more for you than anyone did in your entire life.

”Time’s going to be the best healer, and David will absolutely get that relationship back on track.”

“But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind.” What the actual f–k is he saying? Brooklyn and Nicola might be deep as puddles, but they’ve been together for years now, and it’s not an “infatuation.” Brooklyn loves his wife, and he’s heartbroken to watch as his parents have treated her like sh-t, and how they’ve genuinely tried to break up his marriage. Sources close to David and Victoria have made it abundantly clear: D&V will not even consider “reconciling” with Brooklyn UNLESS he divorces Nicola. Which is all the evidence Brooklyn needs to keep his distance from his parents. I really don’t understand this increasingly common mindset of “it’s perfectly normal and appropriate for a man’s parents to interfere with a man’s marriage.”

    So his new son in law should leave his daughter and go back to his parents???

  2. Tessa says:

    These sour people who wish divorce on a couple are off the wall.

  3. Jais says:

    That’s so patronizing. Regardless of whether anyone in this story is a good person or not, saying a man is merely infatuated with his wife of fours years is unkind. Pretty sure Brooklyn and Gordon won’t be talking much more in the future, jeez.

    • Christine says:

      Seriously, run back to mommy and daddy is such an insane take! These are fully formed adults.

      • BeanieBean says:

        As is the ‘your parents will die one day, and then you’ll be sorry!’ Utter crap.

        Is this a cultural thing? A generational thing? Don’t parents want their kids to be independent & happy & self-supporting & build lives & families of their own? I just don’t understand this mindset. Do Brits generally stay attached at the hip to their parents? Are David & Victoria boomers? Get-x? Is this the long-term result of helicopter parenting?

  4. Stay in your lane Gordon!!! Continue to scramble eggs and nothing else!!

  5. YankeeDoodles says:

    These old pale male bitter stale peeps all sound like the father in Romeo & Juliet. Mr. Capulet. Paul Sorvino did an absolutely brilliant turn in this role in Bazz Luhrman’s film.

  6. Nanoo says:

    I guess that’s Gordon’s way of saying he’s already soured on his daughter’s new marriage.

    • Jais says:

      I can’t tell but the discourse between a daughter getting married into another family feels very different than that of a son marrying into another family. There seems to be more ownership of the son but maybe I’m wrong on that.

  7. Brassy Rebel says:

    Is this some kind of new hobby in the UK? Trying to break up marriages? Once two people are united in marriage, it’s time for everyone who might object to stfu. Seriously.

  8. Tis True, Tis True says:

    When your parents say they love you, but they argue with you every time you try to do anything other than what they have planned. Feel so bad for him.

    Waiting for someone to write about what’s really going on with Ilia Malinin. He’s still coached by his parents, because it makes for a good TV story. Meanwhile, his mother, who we are told is his main coach at home, has moved from being in the arena, but not watching due to her anxiety, to not traveling with him to competitions, to not even speaking to him on the phone for the foreseeable future the whole time he was at the Olympics, until after he competed. But they are such a close and loving family!

    I’ve really come to be sad for kids expected to never step out of their parents’ shadow. It’s not just Brooklyn. And advertising to parents is where the money is, so the kids just get thrown under the bus and their troubles get on blamed on their “willfulness” instead of parents who won’t let go.

  9. Kaaaaz says:

    Brooklyn Beckham is an ADULT. He can make his own decisions.

  10. Eleonor says:

    Growing up in a toxic family taught me one thing: if someone cut ties with their parents or siblings they have REASONS. And the only thing to do is STFU, change the subject it’s none of your business.
    I cut ties with my family, and it wasn’t out of the blue, it took me years, and I am still in therapy. So leave that guy alone.

  11. Mia4s says:

    What I don’t get is if the relationship is that toxic and shaky or whatever, why waste time on this embarrassing public briefing? Sit back, relax, and you will look like the heroic loving parents picking up the pieces after the implosion.

    Which tells me they actually think these two will stick it out.

    LOL, I just wish they would stick it out, out of the public eye. The lack of talent and charisma that couple shares is draining to even glance at. 🤣

  12. Amy Bee says:

    Gordon Ramsey lacks self awareness. His own son in law is estranged from his family. What is he doing here?

  13. Alla says:

    Sounds like the maga billionaire b.rat is not very popular. Shes the problem and i believe Gordon and team Beckham like the majority.

    • Wendy says:

      I actually agree with you. I’m not saying David and Victoria havent dont shit in the past or werent as nice to Nicola as they could have been but I still believe that Nicola and her MAGA family are a bit of an issue.

      I think Brooklyn is whipped by Nicola.. but what do I know.. haha I hope they can make this marriage this work. I hope he finds away, and reconnects with his siblings at least at some point in the future. Maybe not right now as things are still so fresh.

    • ABritGuest says:

      I find this extremely tacky from Ramsay. Even if Nicola is a horror how do you call someone’s WIFE an infatuation? It’s incredibly dismissive and it’s not surprising if Brooklyn doubles down if that’s how people close to the Beckhams describe his marriage.

      Plus Ramsay said his wife fell out with her parents for a time and his new son in law is estranged from many in his family. Imagine if people had publicly said his relationship was just infatuation & his wife would be back with her parents when she remembers where she came from or the same thing about Adam, his new son in law?

      If anyone should have approached this issue of a family estrangement more sensitively- its Gordon Ramsay.

    • G4A says:

      Beckhams are right wing conservatives. They could not care less about peltz family politics. Beckhams have been briefing up a lie,what evidence is there they’re telling the truth and the majority believe them? I know the bots believe them.

  14. Who Were These People? says:

    No child is half mom, half dad. Every child is a distinctly new being with about half genetic influence and about half environmental influence. Ramsay sounds patriarchal and patronizing. Should it turn out that Brooklyn and Nicole split, it will be for other reasons not because his parents want it.

  15. ChillinginDC says:

    Am I crazy? But didn’t his new SIL’s family come out slamming him for doing just this? How did no one say anything to him about that?

  16. SolarBeanbag says:

    Words I NEVER thought would come out of my mouth: I feel bad for Brooklyn Beckham. I cannot believe it, but I do. These people his parents/family, Gordon Ramsey (of the possible 7 year affair on his wife) need to STFU and worry about their own marriages.

  17. Maja says:

    People who sell their simplistic, Borg-like, machine-generated word salads, which repeatedly produce the same stupid content, as with Harry and Meghan, now with these two young people, should fly far away on the Voyager. It’s so stupid. Man: trapped in his sexual desires, seduced by a poisonous, calculating witch = woman. What kind of fundamental, terrible chaos must reign in people who produce and sell such content every day?
