Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's Full Statement As He Breaks Silence On Family Feud Rumours

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham grabbed the whole world’s attention on Monday night when he spoke out for the first time about the feud rumours that have been surrounding himself and members of his family for the last year.

The eldest of the Beckham siblings was first reported to have fallen out with his family last year, and has since missed a number of high-profile events including dad Sir David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations and his knighthood ceremony, as well as the launch of mum Victoria Beckham’s Netflix documentary.

He’s also noticeably not commented on any of his parents or siblings’ social media posts, including some which mentioned him directly, with younger brother Cruz Beckham alleging last month that Brooklyn had blocked them all (which Brooklyn himself has now denied, claiming it was actually him who was blocked by them).

In the months since the speculation about a Beckham family feud began, the tabloid press has been ferociously speculating about the cause of the rift, with Brooklyn breaking his silence on the matter in a series of Instagram story posts on Monday evening.

What did Brooklyn Beckham say in his full statement about his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, and their family feud?

Brooklyn’s posts touch on the origin of his fall-out with his parents, with whom he insisted he had no interest in reconciling.

Here’s his statement in full…

“I have been silent for years and made every effort 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. 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.

“For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

“My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

“Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

“During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Nanni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours. The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family’.

“Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders. Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer.

“My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule [it] was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

“Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner. When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

“My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations. We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family’. But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

“The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.

“My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”

HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both David and Victoria Beckham for comment.

Where did the rumours of a feud between Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his parents Sir David and Victoria Beckham start?

In April 2025, TMZ first reported that Brooklyn was not on speaking terms with his younger brother Romeo Beckham.

At the time, the US outlet alleged that Brooklyn had severed ties with his brother after Romeo began dating Kim Turnbull, with whom TMZ claimed Brooklyn had a “romantic connection” of his own “several years” prior.

While all parties initially remained tight-lipped about the rumours, Kim spoke out in June, posting a statement on her Instagram story addressing the matter for the first time.

“I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative,” she told her Instagram followers.

Kim then said: “I have never been romantically involved in any capacity at any point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.

“I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.”

Earlier that month, Brooklyn and Nicola gave a joint interviewwith Glamour in which they alluded to the feud rumours while discussing coping with life in the public eye.

“People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together,” Brooklyn said while his wife agreed: “It’s not always easy. On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us.

“When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down. But it’s not worth it. I just scroll past and move on.”

He later told the Daily Mail when asked about rumours relating to himself and his family: “There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife.

“Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.”

Back in December, Brooklyn and Romeo’s younger brother Cruz appeared to suggest that the alleged feud had cooled when he reposted an old picture of his brothers and their dad, alongside the caption: “Love you guys.”

However, when it was alleged that his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn on social media, he alleged: “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”

A spokesperson for the former Spice Girls singer also told People magazine that it “isn’t true” that she and Sir David had unfollowed their eldest son on social media.

HuffPost UK contacted Brooklyn’s team at the time but did not receive a response.
