Brooklyn Beckham was said to have been a real rock for Victoria Beckham, before met his now wife Nicola Peltz – but the dynamics have now changed, according to reports
Victoria Beckham “relied on Brooklyn” and he became “very much man of the house” when his parents were experiencing marriage problems, an insider claimed.
Brooklyn was reportedly his mum’s rock throughout his childhood, a connection which jars with the tension-laden picture right now as the Beckhams feud continues to play out in public. The strain has become so deep for Victoria, 51, that she is said to have experienced sleepless nights recently.
Throughout Victoria and David’s well-documented marital troubles, it is understood Brooklyn, now 26, offered great support to his mother. Katie Hind, a journalist, told the Daily Mail’s Beckham Breakdown: Inside the Family Feud on its YouTube page: “She really relied on Brooklyn and he was the man of the house and he very much lived up to that while David was away and I think at the time they were having difficulties in their marriage. They had moved back to London, David was away and Brooklyn was a real rock for her.”
The relationship has changed since Brooklyn, a former model, met Nicola Peltz in 2019 at Leonardo Di Caprio’s Halloween party. They married three years later and, last month, Brooklyn and Nicola missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations, which cast the spotlight on the family conflict.

It is a huge contrast to Brooklyn and Victoria’s bond when he grew up. It is said they were “absolutely inseparable,” and Victoria even took her son to the Glamour Awards in 2013 when he was just 14.
The latest installment of the Daily Mail’s Entertainment YouTube show explores this relationship and its change over time. It highlights how the bitter feud had been kept secret until the birthday no-show, after which Brooklyn has expressed his love for Nicola, 30, in a gushing Instagram post. The aspiring chef wrote: “I always choose you baby, you’re the most amazing person in the world, me and you forever baby.”
But hours after the post, Cruz, the Beckhams’ youngest son waded in on the row for the first time by writing an Instagram post in support of his parents. The 20-year-old aspiring muscian penned: “I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives.”
When Brooklyn and Nicola went to a dinner party at a home in Montecito, California, they met Prince Harry, and the Duke of Sussex reportedly offered the couple his “unwavring support” in the row. This encounter is understood to have left former England captain David “absolutely furious” as he and Victoria hace had a feud with Harry and Meghan Markle in the past.
