David Beckham has remained silent on the escalating family feud involving his eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, who recently made explosive claims against his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. The former footballer was seen at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he avoided questions regarding the situation. Brooklyn, 26, publicly accused his parents of "endlessly" trying to ruin his relationship with his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, and controlling media narratives surrounding the family.
Brooklyn's statement, posted on Instagram, detailed a series of grievances, including alleged attempts to undermine his marriage, manipulate press coverage, and pressure him regarding his name's rights. He claimed that his mother cancelled plans to design Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute, forcing her to find an alternative. He further alleged that his family has consistently disrespected Nicola and that his brothers even attacked him on social media before blocking him. Brooklyn also stated that he does "not want to reconcile" with his family. He accused his parents of prioritizing the "Brand Beckham" image above all else.
Amid the fallout, David Beckham's former personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, has weighed in on the controversy. Loos, who has previously alleged an affair with David Beckham in 2004 – a claim he has denied – expressed support for Brooklyn and his wife. "So happy he is standing up for himself and speaking publicly finally!!!!" Loos wrote in response to Brooklyn's statement. "I have felt so bad for his poor wife, knowing too well what they can be like!". She added, "The truth always comes out,".
The rumored feud reportedly began around the time of Brooklyn's marriage to Nicola Peltz in April 2022. Nicola chose to wear a Valentino gown instead of a dress designed by Victoria Beckham, which fueled speculation of a rift. Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from several Beckham family events in the past year, including David's 50th birthday celebrations. Brooklyn claimed that when he and Nicola traveled to London for his father's birthday, their attempts to spend quality time together were rejected, and Nicola was excluded from a meeting.
Brooklyn's past relationships have also faced scrutiny. His relationship with actress Chloe Grace Moretz, which ended in 2016, was complicated by the Beckham family's media control. Moretz had even expressed frustration with being constantly referred to as "his girlfriend" despite her own established acting career. Victoria Beckham had also publicly poked fun at Brooklyn's style choices during that time.
The Beckham family has yet to respond to Brooklyn's accusations publicly. The situation continues to unfold, with many closely watching how this very public family drama will resolve.
