Speculations about the Beckham family feud date back to when Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz were planning their grand Palm Beach wedding. The couple exchanged marital vows in April 2022, but their union has been plagued with rumors of a family crisis between the couple and Brooklyn’s famous parents, Victoria and David Beckham. While the family endeavored to quash the rumors, the signs of a rift have always been there.
For instance, Nicola was absent at her mother-in-law’s 50th birthday party in April 2024, and then was nowhere to be found alongside her husband at her father-in-law’s 50th birthday in May 2025. When the couple renewed their wedding vows in August 2025 without any member of the Beckham family at the event, it was no longer easy to deny the family crisis. Now, Brooklyn Beckham has spoken out for the first time on Instagram, detailing the issues bedevilling the family and why he doesn’t want to reconcile.
Brooklyn Beckham Is Weary Of His Family’s Performative Lifestyle
@victoriabeckham I love you all so much… I couldn’t do it without you! xx @David Beckham @Romeo Beckham @Cruz Beckham #HarperSeven #VBSS26
The eldest child of the Beckhams said he’s tired of his family’s relentless need to project an image of a perfect family. “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first (and) family love is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.”
He dismissed the narrative that his wife controls him as “completely backwards,” revealing he suffered anxiety because of the level of influence his parents exert on him. “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.”
Brookly Beckham added that stepping away from it all has brought him peace and relief. “I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose,” he said. “My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy, and happiness for us and our future family.”
His Parents Have Been Trying To Ruin His Relationship

Brooklyn Beckham also cited his parents’ resolve to destroy his relationship as one of the reasons he’s unwilling to reconcile with his family. “My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped,” reads part of his statement. The former model referred to several occasions his family tried to sabotage his wedding, beginning with Victoria Beckham’s decision to opt out of making Nicola’s dress at the eleventh hour, which left the bride scurrying to find a new dress.
“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable,” Brooklyn disclosed. “The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family,'” he added.

Recounting the instances his parents tried to ruin his relationship, Brooklyn Beckham narrated how his mother hijacked his first dance with Nicola at their wedding. He said she stole what was meant to be a romantic moment for him and Nicola in front of their 500 wedding guests, leaving him uncomfortable and embarrassed. “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life,” Brooklyn wrote. “We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment,” he added.

Brooklyn Beckham cited this as one of the instances his family failed to regard his wife or take on a meaningful project away from what he described as “performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships.” Brooklyn noted his family’s deliberate inclination to mistreat his wife. “We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.” He cited another instance, where his dad agreed to see him under the condition that Nicola wouldn’t be there.
Brooklyn Beckham’s Family Wanted Him To Relinquish Rights To His Name

Brooklyn Beckham also claimed that his family wanted him to give up the rights to his name ahead of his wedding. He refused to do so, fueling their ire against him. “Weeks before our big day,” he started, “my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.” Check out the timeline of the longstanding conflict between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.
