[Credit: Instagram] Brooklyn Beckham has finally spoken out about the long-rumored rift with his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, sharing a deeply personal statement that details years of tension, control, and emotional strain. The 26-year-old said he remained silent for a long time to protect his family’s public image, but felt compelled to break his silence as what he described as false narratives about him and his wife, Nicola Peltz, continued to spread.
[Credit: Instagram] A major focus of Brooklyn’s statement was his 2022 wedding to Nicola, which he claims was overshadowed by behavior that left him humiliated. He alleged that a moment meant to be his first dance with his bride was taken over by his mother. According to Brooklyn, the dance had been carefully planned as a romantic highlight of the evening, only for him to be unexpectedly called onstage and placed in an uncomfortable situation in front of hundreds of guests.

He claimed the experience was so painful that he and Nicola later chose to privately renew their vows in 2025 in order to reclaim what they felt had been taken from them on their wedding day.

Brooklyn said the sudden change forced Nicola to find another option quickly, leading her to wear a Valentino couture gown. Beyond the wedding, he claimed his parents attempted to pressure him into signing away rights to his own name as part of the family brand, and that Nicola was explicitly told she was not considered part of the family.

He said growing up under constant scrutiny left him with severe anxiety, which he claims disappeared only after distancing himself from his parents. Brooklyn ended his statement by making it clear that he has no desire to reconcile, emphasizing that he and Nicola are focused on building a peaceful, private life in the United States.
