Brooklyn Beckham has publicly spoken out about his ongoing disagreement with his parents, describing it as a significant and surprising conflict.
David and Victoria Beckham’s oldest son, 26, used Instagram on Monday night to announce he doesn’t want to repair his relationship with his family, stating he’s finally asserting himself.
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 31, have been avoiding important family events in recent months, causing a rift within the family – including missing his father David’s 50th birthday celebration.
He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.
I’m saddened that my parents and their representatives keep talking to the media. Because of this, I feel I need to share my side of the story and address some of the false information that has been published.
I’ve decided not to try and make things right with my family. This isn’t about someone controlling me; it’s about finally asserting my own needs and boundaries.
‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.
I grew up surrounded by showy displays on social media, obligatory family gatherings, and relationships that didn’t feel genuine.
I’ve recently witnessed how far some people will go to spread lies in the media, often harming innocent individuals, all to maintain a false image. However, I’m confident that the truth will eventually be revealed.
My parents have consistently tried to sabotage my relationship, starting even before my wedding, and they still haven’t stopped.
My mom unexpectedly cancelled making Nicola’s dress right before the event, even though Nicola was really looking forward to wearing it. This left Nicola scrambling to find a replacement.
In the weeks leading up to my wedding, my parents kept trying to get me to legally change my name – offering incentives and putting a lot of pressure on me to do so. This would have impacted not only me, but also my wife and any children we might have.
Honestly, they really pushed for me to sign the contract before my wedding. It was all about getting the ball rolling with the agreement’s terms, and they wanted to do it ASAP!
‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.
My mum was really upset during wedding planning and even called me “evil” because Nicola and I wanted to seat my grandmother, Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s grandmother at our table – they were both widows. Both sets of parents did have their own tables right next to ours, though.
The night before my wedding, some family members told me that Nicola wasn’t related to us by blood and therefore wasn’t truly part of the family.
Ever since I began asserting myself with my family, my parents have relentlessly attacked me, both in private and by sharing negative information with the press.
Even my own brothers turned against me, attacking me online before unexpectedly cutting off all contact last summer.
Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe what happened at my wedding! We had this perfect first dance planned – weeks of choosing the song, everything! It was supposed to be so romantic, you know? But then, my mum just…walked onto the dance floor and took over! Like, actually danced with my wife instead of letting us have our moment. I was completely stunned, honestly.
During my wedding reception, with 500 guests watching, Marc Anthony invited me onstage for what was supposed to be my first dance with my wife. Instead, my mother was there, and she danced with me in a way that was very uncomfortable and inappropriate for everyone to see.
I’ve never been so uncomfortable and embarrassed. We hoped renewing our vows would give us happy new memories of our wedding day, but instead, it caused us a lot of anxiety and humiliation.
My wife and I have repeatedly faced disrespect from my family, despite our efforts to build a unified relationship. My mother, in particular, has consistently invited past romantic interests of mine into our lives, seemingly to cause discomfort for both of us.
Even though things were difficult, we still went to London to celebrate my dad’s birthday. But he wouldn’t spend any time with us privately; we were stuck waiting in our hotel room for a week. He only wanted to see us at his large birthday party, which was full of people and cameras.
He only agreed to meet with me if I didn’t bring Nicola, which really hurt my feelings. Then, when my family visited Los Angeles, they wouldn’t even see me.
Last summer, things got so strained between the Beckhams that Brooklyn asked his parents to communicate with him through their lawyers, Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis, according to the Daily Mail.
According to a source, David was instructed to communicate with them only through the law firm Schillings. It was the sole method of communication they allowed.
Brooklyn prefers his parents not reach out to him directly or discuss him publicly on social media.
They hadn’t taken any legal steps against each other, and the letter itself wasn’t based on any legal grounds – it was just a simple request.
However, Brooklyn still remains in regular contact with both sets of grandparents.
