Gordon Ramsay Is 'Confident' David Beckham And Son Brooklyn Can Reconcile After Family Feud
Gordon Ramsay has said he believes the Beckhams are “too close” not to get their relationship back on track amid the very public fall-out the family has been embroiled in over the last few weeks.
The Kitchen Nightmares star has been a close friend of Sir David Beckham and his family for more than 25 years, and recently shared his take on the feud headlines surrounding them.
During a new interview with HuffPost UK to promote his Netflix documentary Being Gordon Ramsay, he insisted he doesn’t think the rift between the former England striker and his eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham will be a permanent one.
“They’re loving parents,” he said of Sir David and his wife Victoria Beckham. “Those kids are gorgeous.”
He continued: “That bond with your son is one of the most important bonds you’ll have in your life. So, I’m confident they’ll get back [to where they were].
“[Families] do fall out – I fell out with my parents and I fell out with my kids. [The Beckhams] are too close not to get this back on track. And I’m confident that they will get it back on track.”
Opening up more about the relationship between his own family and the Beckhams, Gordon then explained: “All the kids grew up together. The Ramsays and the Beckhams would spend incredible summers together, and then the kids, Jack and Brooklyn, would go surfing, Romeo would go surfing, and they just had the most amazing time.
“Then come Christmas, we’d go off to some beautiful places like the Maldives together, so yeah, the closeness was unique – and the bond.”
Reflecting on his friendship with Sir David, Gordon noted: “It takes years to really know a proper friend. We’ve been mates now for 25 years, we saw each other yesterday for coffee, and I love him.”
“It’s just so nice when you’ve got such lovely friends that enjoy great food, great wine and we do crazy shit together,” he added. “Sporadic days here, there and everywhere, where we’ll just go off with Tana and Victoria, and just have the most amazing time in private. That’s the hallmark of a great friend.”
After months of rumours suggesting he was no longer speaking to his famous parents, Brooklyn set the record straight last month, confirming that he is estranged from his family for several reasons and has no intention of reconciling.
Last week, Gordon told The Sun: “It’s a very difficult situation. Victoria is upset, and I know 24/7, seven days a week, just how much David loves Brooklyn.
“Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible. But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.”
Since then, it’s been pointed out that Brooklyn appears to have unfollowed – but not blocked – Gordon on Instagram, with reports claiming he’s also done the same to two of the chef’s children.
