The Beckham family saga just took another dramatic twist—and this time, it’s hitting close to home.
David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly “devastated” after their eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, appeared to draw a public line in the sand between himself and his famous parents. In a recent social media post, Brooklyn gushed over his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, 30, calling her “my whole world” and writing, “I always choose you baby.”
According to insiders, those words weren’t lost on David, 50, and Victoria, 51. A source told Heat magazine that the couple feels “heartbroken” by the post, which they see as confirmation that Brooklyn’s loyalties lie firmly with his wife. “The Beckhams are no strangers to family drama,” the insider shared, “but this time they’re realizing their usual tactics aren’t working. Brooklyn and Nicola are playing by their own rules. David and Victoria have tried to reach out, but they feel this latest post crossed a line.”
Brooklyn and Nicola, who tied the knot in 2022 in a lavish Palm Beach ceremony, have long been the focus of feud rumors. From wedding-planning tensions to alleged power struggles between Nicola and her mother-in-law, whispers of a rift have followed them for years. While both women have publicly denied any bad blood—Nicola once insisted, “It’s not a feud!”—sources say things behind the scenes have grown increasingly tense.
Fans were quick to take sides after Brooklyn’s romantic post. The comment section lit up with messages urging him to reconcile with his parents. “Don’t forget your beautiful parents who will always love you unconditionally,” one follower wrote, while another added, “If that was my son, I’d be heartbroken.” Some even accused Nicola of encouraging the divide, with one commenter bluntly stating, “A loving wife shouldn’t make her husband choose between her and his family.”
The latest round of drama reportedly stems from Brooklyn’s alleged disapproval of his brother Romeo’s girlfriend, model Kim Turnbull—who previously dated their family friend Rocco Ritchie. The fallout, insiders claim, snowballed into Brooklyn and Nicola skipping David’s 50th birthday celebrations and staying silent on Victoria’s recent birthday and U.S. Mother’s Day.
Even the younger Beckhams seem to be feeling the strain. Cruz, 20, recently posted a heartfelt message to his family, writing, “I love my family… Mum and Dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what.” The emotional tribute was widely interpreted as a plea for peace within the fractured clan.
Sources say David and Victoria are now rethinking their approach. “They’ve decided to take a step back and give Brooklyn and Nicola space,” the insider explained. “They hope time will cool things off and eventually bring everyone back together.”
For now, though, the Beckham empire appears to be divided—proving that even one of the world’s most glamorous families isn’t immune to heartbreak behind the spotlight.
