David and wife Victoria have ‘given up’ hope of reconciling with Brooklyn’s actress wife and are concentrating instead on showing their eldest son love, in the hope of healing their fractured bond.
There have been a number of social media posts by Victoria and youngest son Cruz, which seemingly point to a desire to bring aspiring chef Brooklyn, 26, back into the fold.
Cruz posted a picture of his brother, who he still doesn’t follow on Instagram. And Victoria posted a video of her mum Jackie hanging up personalised stockings for the grandchildren… including one for Brooklyn.
However a source said trying to make up just with Brooklyn was a flawed strategy. ‘Trying to create a gap between Brooklyn and Nicola is only going to drive him further away. It is going full speed in totally the wrong direction.
‘Nicola and Brooklyn are totally in step and as strong as ever.
‘Nicola has been damaged and very hurt by what has gone on. The Beckhams can’t just declare that the problem is over, via some social media posts.’
‘You can’t just decide that it’s time to make up, without any apology or commitment to making a change.’
Speaking to The Sun, an insider said: ‘His absence has really taken a toll on the special days – the knighthood… and now Christmas. It’s like the ghost of Brooklyn is hanging over their Christmas and New Year’s.
‘Last year they were all together. The message they’re sending is that the door is always open, and he’s always welcome.
‘They’d love nothing more than to see Brooklyn over Christmas, put the past behind them and start 2026 afresh.
‘And Nicola? Well they’ve stopped trying to win her back over. It might never happen. So for now, they’re concentrating on Brooklyn.’
