The family dispute between football legend David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham is no longer limited to rumors only. A stir on social media has brought this alleged family tension into the open. According to reports, David and Victoria Beckham have unfollowed their elder son Brooklyn Beckham on Instagram. Not only this, Brooklyn’s younger brothers Romeo and Cruz Beckham have also stopped following her. This move has further intensified discussions among fans that all is not well in the Beckham family. On the other hand, Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz Beckham already does not follow prominent members of the Beckham family on social media.
Avoidance of big family occasions
In recent times, the absence of Brooklyn and Nicola has been clearly visible in many important family events. Brooklyn skipped David Beckham’s lavish 50th birthday party in May, even though he was invited. Apart from this, Brooklyn and Nicola took their wedding vows again in New York in August 2025, but no member of the Beckham family was seen at this ceremony either. The entire family was present at David Beckham’s knighthood ceremony in November, but Brooklyn and Nicola were absent there too. Not only this, Brooklyn also spent Christmas 2025 in Florida with Nicola’s family instead of her parents.
Where did the whole controversy start?
It is said that the controversy started during the wedding of Brooklyn and Nicola in the year 2022. The ‘wedding dress controversy’ was much talked about when Nicola decided to wear a dress from another designer Valentino instead of Victoria Beckham. Apart from this, a controversy related to the dance performance of singer Mark Anthony at the wedding reception is also said to be the reason for tension.
The situation is said to be such that Brooklyn Beckham is also considering removing the surname “Beckham” from her professional name and wants to present herself only as “Brooklyn Peltz”. According to reports, if this decision is to be stopped then Brooklyn is hoping for an apology from his mother Victoria Beckham. However, no official statement has come from the family on this.
Meanwhile, there was speculation about his brother Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull. However, all these speculations were rejected by Cruise Beckham himself. Cruise clearly stated that “Brooklyn and Kim never dated,” putting an end to this angle.
Brooklyn’s statement about his father
According to a report in People Magazine, Brooklyn is feeling emotionally “trapped” in this entire controversy. He has reportedly said that the Beckham family is his own, but despite this, the relationship between him and his father David Beckham has not always been easy. The report also claims that at times Brooklyn’s relationship with his father has felt more like a “business arrangement” than a traditional father-son relationship.
