Despite a seemingly united front on social media, tensions within the Beckham family are reportedly running deep, with David and Victoria Beckham allegedly not on speaking terms with their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham.
Recent Instagram activity — including a throwback photo posted by Victoria featuring Brooklyn, and a heartfelt Mother’s Day message from David — has painted a picture of familial harmony.
However, insiders close to the situation say these gestures are merely performative and do not reflect the true state of their relationship. According to sources, Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, have had no direct communication with Victoria and David in recent months.
The rift is believed to have been reignited during David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in London. Tensions reportedly center around Brooklyn’s discomfort with his younger brother Romeo dating his ex-girlfriend, model Kim Turnbull. Sources claim Brooklyn feels his parents have sided with Romeo, deepening his sense of isolation from the family.
Brooklyn and Nicola are said to have attempted a reconciliation during the birthday event, but their overtures were allegedly rejected. Brooklyn’s absence from the party, as well as from a recent fishing trip with his brothers, has only intensified public speculation about growing familial distance.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Victoria and David remain deeply distressed by the situation. “There has been no call, no contact, nothing,” a source said, highlighting the couple’s repeated but unsuccessful attempts to reconnect. David reportedly resorted to social media in hopes that public gestures of affection might encourage Brooklyn to respond.
Some insiders have pointed to Nicola Peltz’s influence as a contributing factor, claiming she has played a role in distancing Brooklyn from his family.
Tensions between Nicola and Victoria reportedly trace back to the couple’s 2022 wedding, when Nicola chose to wear a Valentino dress rather than one designed by her mother-in-law — a decision said to have triggered an ongoing rift.
The conflict appears to have deepened in recent months, with sources close to the Beckhams alleging Victoria has privately described Nicola as a “narcissist” and accused her of manipulating Brooklyn and using his name for personal gain. In contrast, friends of Nicola argue that the Beckhams have created a toxic environment that made both her and Brooklyn feel unwelcome and unfairly judged.
Even the youngest Beckham sibling, 13-year-old Harper, has reportedly been affected by the estrangement. Once close to Nicola, Harper has not seen her brother or his wife since December, further highlighting the growing distance.
While the Beckham family continues to project unity in the public eye, those close to them suggest the reality is far more complicated — with both sides holding firm and reconciliation appearing increasingly unlikely.
