Fashion designer and mum-of-four Victoria Beckham has addressed ongoing tensions with son Brooklyn who has distanced himself from the Beckham clan
Victoria Beckham has spoken candidly about the emotional toll of family feuds, amid ongoing tension with her eldest son, Brooklyn. The fashion designer, 51, has reflected on the pain parents feel when their children drift apart, drawing parallels with her upcoming Netflix documentary and the struggles of high-profile families.
Brooklyn, 26, is believed to have distanced himself from the Beckhams before he and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, renewed their wedding vows in early August without inviting any family members.
David, 50, and Victoria apparently only found out about the ceremony, led by Nicola’s billionaire dad Nelson Peltz, from a US website, with a source at the time calling it “the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.”
And family tensions have been mounting for months on end now. Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge Victoria on Mother’s Day and he was also absent from all celebrations of David Beckham’s 50th birthday in May.

Social media posts have also hinted at friction between Brooklyn and his younger brothers, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, after the US-based couple snubbed birthday festivities, fueling speculation about a rift within the family.
Brothers Romeo and Cruz have both since unfollowed their older brother and have made snide and directed digs at Brooklyn in recent months.
Speaking to The Sunday Times ahead of her Netflix release, Victoria reflected on reconciliation and familial connection.
She recalled watching Oasis at Wembley after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reunited for a tour, saying: “I just think their mum must be so happy. It must have been really tough on the mum, the boys not talking for all those years.
“And I just think as a mum, that must be… she must feel so happy to see her boys getting on.” The interviewer noted that Victoria paused, appearing “lost in thought” during the moment.
This week, Brooklyn was notably absent once again as he skipped Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show, where she debuted her Spring 2026 collection.
In contrast, David and their three younger children, Romeo, Cruz, and his youngest daughter, Harper, 14, attended in full support, which has only highlighted the ongoing divide between the famous clan.
In the upcoming release of her Netflix documentary, viewers will see a completely different side to the fashion designer and former Spice Girls star.
The documentary sees Victoria open up about particular triggers in her life, which brought on an emotional response. Speaking to The Times she admitted that she struggled to be taken seriously in the fashion world as it was assumed her collection would simply be just another celebrity clothing line.
She told the publication: “I’ve been defined by a four-year period in my life. That was the Spice Girls. It’s taken me almost two decades to fight that, and I feel that only now can I look back and talk about it.
“I’m not going to lie, being asked questions about when I was in the Spice Girls was quite triggering. And I’d say those were the most difficult moments. It was almost like therapy for me.”
