Brooklyn Beckham has been widely criticised after vowing to ‘always choose’ his wife Nicola Peltz amidst his ongoing fallout with his famous parents, David and Victoria
Brooklyn Beckham has been slammed after taking a brutal swipe at his parents. In recent months, David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son has become estranged from his family, but the fallout has intensified over the past few weeks.
The family drama hit a new high after Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, failed to attend any of the celebrations for David’s 50th birthday earlier this month. Despite flying in to London from Los Angeles, Brooklyn and his wife remained at their hotel sparking chaos for the family.
At the time, it was claimed that Brooklyn had wanted a private meeting with his dad, but sources say the family refused this. Now, as the family fallout continues, he’s vowed to always choose Nicola over his family. Taking to his Instagram page, the socialite shared a video clip of himself and Nicola to his 16.3 million followers.
Captioning his post, Brooklyn penned: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.” His upload, which has racked up over 47,000 likes, was soon flooded with criticism. One fan fume: “Don’t forget your beautiful parents who will always love you unconditionally.”
A second went on to add: “Real love doesn’t make you choose. Why can’t you love your wife AND your family? I hope whatever is going on can be resolved.” Another penned: “Devastated for Victoria. Cruel to so publicly denounce your parents, a good wife would be trying to reconcile you, not divide you.”
“Actually quite sad that you are adding fuel to the fire to further hurt your parents, you only get 1 mum and dad and so many have lost theirs without even knowing they would,” said a fourth. Meanwhile, a fifth commented: “That’s a pretty horrible post aimed at your parents. You might regret all this one day.” “If that was my son saying that, knowing what the post is about, I would be devastated. Blood is thicker than water,” said another.
However, some were quick to defend Brooklyn, with one writing: “Why all the hate? The love they show for one another is just as beautiful as the love his parents share for one another.” “All the people on here thinking they know what’s go on, its no ones business but theirs,” said a second.
Sources have since hit out at Brooklyn’s “disappointing but unsurprising” dig at his family. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said: “They feel Nicola is creating conflict that isn’t there – or at the very least ramping it up – in order to isolate Brooklyn from his family.
“Yes, Brooklyn is his own man…but Nicola is the one pulling the strings. It feels like she wants him to pick sides – and that’s what’s clearly happening.” But pals close to Nicola say that she and Brooklyn “want nothing more than to be loved and supported.” However, they added that “Victoria and David make that virtually impossible.”
However, friends of the Beckhams have disputed this. A source said: “First, the feud was supposed to be over the fact that Romeo was dating someone Brooklyn had a so-called romantic liaison with…. And then it changed to patently false and unpleasant accusations about David and Victoria’s parenting.
“The narrative keeps changing, and the so-called reasons for Brooklyn not seeing his family keeps stacking up.”
