After a Christmas marred by feud rumors, Brooklyn Beckham is speaking out about his family drama.
David and Victoria Beckham gave new meaning to the term power couple when they first got together in 1997. A few months before their wedding in 1999, the soccer star and the Spice Girls member welcomed their first son, Brooklyn, eventually adding three more children to their crew by 2011: 23-year-old Romeo, 20-year-old Cruz, and their only daughter, 14-year-old Harper Beckham. The family didn’t gain a new addition until April 2022, when Brooklyn wed billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz Beckham, seemingly to everyone’s delight.
However, tabloids began reporting a “full-on cold war” between Victoria and her new daughter-in-law just a few months later, which allegedly started during the wedding-planning process. Considering Victoria had built a fashion empire since retiring from pop stardom in 2000, it was a surprise to many that the billionaire heiress married Brooklyn wearing a Valentino Couture gown instead of a custom VB design. While Nicola and Brooklyn shut down family-feud rumors at the time, that didn’t stop years of headlines and articles analyzing family events and photos for evidence of a rift or reconciliation.
In late 2025, however, estrangement rumors were back in full force when Brooklyn allegedly blocked Victoria and David Beckham on Instagram just days before Christmas, causing Cruz Beckham to speak out on social media in defense of his parents. About a month later, Brooklyn finally shared his perspective.
Here’s a complete timeline of the alleged Beckham family drama, with the most recent updates up top.
January 19, 2026: Brooklyn Beckham goes scorched-Earth in a six-slide Instagram story . “I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,” Brooklyn writes in a multi-slide Instagram Stories post, per People. “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
Claiming his parents have been “endlessly trying to ruin my relationship” since before his wedding, Brooklyn confirmed rumors about the wedding drama, saying his mom canceled making Nicola’s dress, “hijacked” their first dance, and pressured him into “signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and my future children.”
