Brooklyn Peltz Beckham says ‘I do not want to reconcile with my family’ in explosive post
Oldest son of David and Victoria Beckham takes to social media to dish on feud with his celebrity parents
A searing family rift between Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his celebrity parents, David and Victoria Beckham, dominated UK media Tuesday after he exploded on social media saying he had no wish for a reconciliation.
The 26-year-old said late Monday that his parents have been controlling narratives in the press about his family and tried to “ruin” his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote in a post to his 16.2 million Instagram followers, confirming the long-rumoured estrangement between Brooklyn and his mother and father.
“I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
Brooklyn is the eldest son of the former England football captain, David, and Victoria, who shot to fame with the Spice Girls pop group and is now a fashion designer.
David Beckham was recently knighted by King Charles, becoming “Sir David”, and both he and now Lady Victoria have starred in carefully curated Netflix documentaries tracing their stories.
