Brooklyn Beckham has shared candid insights about his relationship with his parents, particularly his mother, Victoria Beckham, during a recent Instagram Story. The 26-year-old chef, who married actress Nicola Peltz in March 2023, revealed that family dynamics have been strained since the couple decided to move to the United States, distancing themselves from the Beckham family.
In his statements, Brooklyn addressed persistent rumors regarding his wedding, specifically the claim that Nicola refused to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria. Contrary to these reports, Brooklyn stated that it was Victoria who became upset and declined to let Nicola wear the gown. As a result, Nicola had to find an alternative dress just before the ceremony.
Brooklyn also opened up about his upbringing, disclosing that he experienced anxiety due to what he described as his parents’ controlling nature. He emphasized that his and Victoria’s focus on maintaining a public image often overshadowed their family relationships. “I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared,” he said.
Revelations About Family Dynamics
The revelations did not stop there. Brooklyn recounted a particularly troubling incident during his wedding, where he felt uncomfortable after Victoria reportedly danced inappropriately with him. This moment, he noted, left him feeling humiliated on what should have been a joyous occasion.
Further complicating matters, Brooklyn claimed that Victoria declined to support Nicola when she sought help for saving displaced dogs during recent fires in Los Angeles. His comments suggest that the relationship between the couple and the Beckham family remains fraught with tension.
Brooklyn concluded his lengthy statement by expressing a desire for privacy. He stated that he and Nicola are content to lead their lives away from the scrutiny of the public eye. “I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief,” he added, underscoring his commitment to moving forward without reconciliation with his parents.
While Brooklyn did not explicitly mention his siblings, it appears he may also be estranged from his brothers. Notably, last year, Cruz Beckham hinted at a desire to reconnect, though it is unclear if any progress has been made. Reports suggest that he maintains a relationship with his younger sister, Harper, as he celebrated her on social media during her special occasions.
Brooklyn’s candid revelations shed light on the complexities of family dynamics within one of the world’s most well-known families, illustrating the personal challenges faced behind the public facade.
