A smiling family portrait once captured the Beckham clan united in festive cheer — but just months later, it all unravelled.

(Image: INSTAGRAM)The last photo of the whole Beckham family together, including eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, paints a very different picture to the tensions that reportedly now exist behind closed doors.
Taken at Christmas and shared on Boxing Day last year, the snap shows David and Victoria Beckham with all four of their children — Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper — posing in front of a glowing Christmas tree, the MailOnline reported.
Nicola, beaming alongside her husband, was very much part of the family fold.
The caption, written by Victoria, read: “Being together for the holidays makes me so happy xxxx I love you all so much @davidbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham #harperseven x.” Nicola warmly replied: “I love you all so much!”

But fast-forward just five months, and cracks appeared to show. Despite the glitzy celebrations for David’s milestone 50th birthday, Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent — and their no-show did not go unnoticed.
According to The Mail, the couple’s failure to attend marked a turning point, with insiders claiming the feud is now “beyond repair”. A source told the outlet that Nicola is thought to be at the centre of the family fallout.
Before the tensions bubbled to the surface, the Beckhams had publicly rallied behind Brooklyn as he launched his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23.
The family jetted to Los Angeles to support the release, and just weeks later, they showed up again in London for a UK launch at Whole Foods.
As recently as September, the whole clan appeared together again in Paris during Fashion Week to support Victoria’s SS25 collection — a sign, at the time, that all was well.
Now, those smiles seem a distant memory.
While reports have surfaced that David and Victoria were unwelcoming towards Nicola, insiders close to the Beckhams have firmly denied this — insisting they’ve done nothing but support her.
One friend told The Mirror: “They have gone above and beyond to help Nicola with her endeavours.”
Another added: “There’s no anger but just a deep sense of sorrow about how things have turned out.”
For a family once celebrated for its close-knit bond, the heartbreak behind the headlines is plain to see.
