David Beckham’s pal believes that his ongoing rift with his eldest son Brooklyn won’t last too long after the famous family became embroiled in another feud
Brooklyn Beckham’s ongoing feud with his family won’t last long according to a pal of his dad David. The Beckham family have been at loggerheads since their eldest child married billionaire Nicola Peltz in 2022. But in recent days, tension has reached a new level after the 26-year-old failed to attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
The Beckham’s had three different celebrations, an intimate family dinner at their Cotswolds estate, a trip to France and then a boozy dinner in London. Brooklyn had told his family that he and his wife Nicola, 30, would be attending the events but things soon took a dramatic turn.
Although they had flown in from Los Angeles to London to spend time with the Beckham’s, they later decided to snub the A-list dinner in London on Saturday, leaving David heartbroken. It comes amidst Brooklyn allegedly feeling as though his family had chosen his brother, Romeo, over him.
It’s claimed that Brooklyn had given his family an ultimatum, asking to meet David privately, rather than attending the celebrations alongside Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull as the couple “have a problem with her”. A source claimed: “He suggested going for breakfast or a coffee but was told the only chance to see the family would be at one of their lavish parties which Kim would likely be at, so he refused.”
Now, a friend of David’s has opened up and claims that the ongoing feud will more than likely not last too long due to the amount of love the former Manchester United legend has for his eldest. Hairdresser, Adee Phelan told the Daily Mail: “Blood is thicker than water. You’ve only got to look at Oasis. That is a perfect example of falling out of touch, becoming very distant, but the love and blood always comes through in the end.
“[For David] it’s his first born, it will come around again. There is too much love for it not to. I can’t see the feud lasting.” There have also been claims Nicola has a pattern of starting arguments before family events with her husband pulling out from attending. Reports have claimed Romeo is upset by the situation as Kim is taking the blame.
A source close to the situation has now told the Mirror: “Nicola encourages Brooklyn to see his family and is usually the reason Brooklyn does see his family. They are both devastated. They cannot believe that Victoria & David refused to see them privately after they travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship.”
They added: “As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria & David are behaving this way… instead of privately discussing the issue. Victoria and David (appear to) have no interest in finding a solution that works for everyone.” A source previously told the Mirror that Brooklyn’s decision not to attend his birthday was “a real blow.”
“David. Brooklyn was close with his dad growing up, but he is married now,” they said. The source connected to the family went on to add: “His wife Nicola is older and confident in her own right, and so there is distance between Brooklyn and his parents.
“It has become a problem and not something they can keep private because of the way the family uses social media. Things have escalated in recent months, and there is a very obvious rift that David and Victoria would love to heal.”
Meanwhile, both David and Victoria are believed to be “done” with Nicola but would “do anything” to get their son back.” “It all stinks of a control thing. The family are absolutely certain this is what happened this time round, that a drama was created and Brooklyn doesn’t feel he can turn up to see his family – but it happened three times in a week,” a source said.
