Brooklyn Beckham’s full statement: Victoria and David’s son details entire feud, including their wedding day
The son of David and Victoria Beckham has posted a raw rant, accusing his parents of press manipulation and undermining his marriage to Nicola Peltz, and even derailing his wedding day.
Brooklyn Beckham broke his silence on family tensions, unleashing in a series of detailed Instagram Stories, claiming his parents have relentlessly tried to destroy his marriage through media leaks and sabotage.
“I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,” Brooklyn wrote in the first of a series of Instagram Stories posts.

He detailed alleged incidents, including his 2022 wedding and his father’s 50th birthday last year, where family priorities clashed with his relationship.
The outburst follows reports of rifts, like members of the family blocking each other on social media, and the Peltz Beckhams skipping Beckham events, such as Christmas gatherings.
Brooklyn criticised his family’s focus: “values public promotion and endorsements above all else ... Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo.”
Tensions peaked at Brooklyn’s Palm Beach wedding to Nicola, where a source said Victoria hijacked a planned dance: Marc Anthony invited her onstage instead, leaving the bride feeling her moment was stolen.
Brooklyn confirmed in his statement: “My mum was waiting to dance with me ... She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.”
“I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.” He added claims that Victoria refused to make Nicola’s dress last-minute, and the family dismissed her as “not blood” and “not family”.
David and Victoria Beckham have not commented on the social media blasting.
