The Beckham family appears to be facing escalating tensions, with the eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, seemingly distancing himself from his brothers, Romeo and Cruz. This development comes amid ongoing rumors of a family feud that has been making headlines in recent months.
Brooklyn Beckham, 26, has reportedly unfollowed his brothers, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, on Instagram. This social media move suggests a deepening rift within the family. Despite cutting ties with his brothers on social media, Brooklyn continues to follow his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Hours before unfollowing his brothers, Brooklyn posted a birthday message to his younger sister, Harper, 14, seemingly extending an olive branch.
While the exact reasons for the rumored feud remain unclear, some reports suggest that a past romantic connection may be at the root of the discord. It has been speculated that the feud was over Romeo dating Kim Turnbull, who was alleged to have previously dated Brooklyn. However, Kim Turnbull has denied any romantic involvement with Brooklyn, stating that their relationship never extended beyond a school friendship. Cruz Beckham also clarified on Instagram that Brooklyn and Kim never dated.
Adding to the speculation, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Brooklyn's wife, has been mentioned as a possible source of tension within the Beckham family. Nicola has publicly expressed her love and appreciation for her own mother, Claudia Peltz, which some have interpreted as a subtle jab at Victoria Beckham. It has been reported that Nicola and Victoria's relationship has soured again. Some sources claim that Nicola has stood up to David and Victoria in ways that previous partners have not.
The unfollowing incident occurred after Brooklyn remained silent during his father's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year. He has almost exclusively posted about his wife, hot sauce brand, and in-laws. On July 2, Brooklyn posted a birthday message to his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, after months of failing to mention his own family. On June 8, he celebrated Nicola's brother Will Peltz's engagement.
Despite the rumored tensions, there have been moments of apparent reconciliation. The Beckhams appeared united at the London premiere of David's Netflix docuseries "Beckham" in 2023. In early 2024, Victoria and Nicola were seen smiling side-by-side at the premiere of "Lola," Nicola's directorial debut, and even shared a family vacation in the Bahamas.
David and Victoria Beckham have been together for over 25 years and have four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. They married in 1999 and have built a joint wealth estimated at £355 million.
