Victoria Beckham attempted to reach out to her son Brooklyn just days before he blocked her and his father, David Beckham, on social media. The incident, which reportedly occurred shortly before Christmas, has intensified ongoing family tensions. Sources indicate that Victoria, 51, liked one of Brooklyn’s Instagram posts, hoping to show support during the festive season. The reaction was unexpected; shortly after, Brooklyn, aged 26, severed online communication with both parents and his younger brothers, Cruz and Romeo.
A source close to the family explained, “Victoria liked an Instagram post on Brooklyn’s page just days before he blocked her and David. There was no intention behind it other than to show she’s thinking of him before Christmas. She had no idea it would lead to this fallout.” The source added that both Cruz and Romeo are feeling hurt by Brooklyn’s decision, suggesting a significant rift has formed within the family.
The situation escalated further when Cruz, 20, took to social media to address rumors that his parents had blocked Brooklyn. He stated, “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.” This statement highlights the growing discord among the Beckham family members.
Family Dynamics and Social Media Fallout
Brooklyn’s relationship with his family has noticeably deteriorated since his marriage to Nicola Peltz Beckham in April 2022. Reports suggest that tensions between Victoria and Nicola may have stemmed from disagreements over wedding planning, particularly regarding the bridal gown. This rift became evident when Brooklyn and Nicola were notably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebration earlier this year, a significant family gathering.
In a further indication of the family’s divide, Brooklyn and Nicola recently renewed their wedding vows with her family in attendance, while no members of the Beckham clan were invited. A source commented, “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. Seeing Nelson Peltz having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially.” The emotional impact of these events has been profound, with family members feeling isolated from Brooklyn’s new life.
Brooklyn’s social media activity reveals a complete withdrawal from his immediate family. He no longer follows any of them online, although he maintains connections with his grandparents and aunts. This distancing is particularly striking given the family’s previously close-knit nature.
Attempts at Reconciliation
Despite the ongoing tensions, sources have indicated that David and Victoria have a desire to resolve the feud. “David and Victoria have always wanted the feud with Brooklyn to be resolved,” a source told Metro. They hope to understand Brooklyn’s perspective and are open to hearing his side of the story. In November, there were suggestions that both sides might seek reconciliation, but only if Brooklyn receives a public apology from his parents.
The complexities of the situation are compounded by Brooklyn’s loyalty to his wife. A source discussed the perceived unfair treatment that Nicola has faced from the Beckham family, stating, “It is hard to understand the intensity and the escalation of the media stories. They thought they could heap abuse on Nicola without any consequence.”
This sentiment reflects the deep emotional stakes involved, illustrating how public perception can exacerbate family conflicts. The source further emphasized the need for accountability, suggesting that a public acknowledgment from David and Victoria would be the essential first step toward mending the relationship.
As the year draws to a close, the Beckham family remains at a crossroads. The public nature of their disputes has raised questions about the future of their relationships and whether they can find common ground amid the turmoil. The unfolding narrative continues to capture the attention of fans and observers alike, highlighting the complexities of familial bonds in the public eye.
