London – Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of global football icon David Beckham and fashion entrepreneur Victoria Beckham, has reportedly severed communication with his parents amid escalating tensions within the high-profile family.

Sources close to the family say the 26-year-old former model and aspiring chef has been distant for months and declined to attend his father’s recent 50th birthday celebration in London — a significant public snub that has reignited concerns about a long-standing rift between Brooklyn and the Beckham clan.

At the heart of the tension is said to be Brooklyn’s wife, American actress Nicola Peltz, whom he married in 2022. Rumours of a difficult relationship between Nicola and Victoria have circulated since the couple's wedding, when Nicola wore a Valentino gown rather than a design from her mother-in-law’s label — a choice that many believe triggered deeper friction.

A family insider speaking to British media revealed that both David and Victoria have made repeated efforts to reach out to their son but have received no response.

“There has been no call, no contact, nothing,” the source reportedly said. “David even attempted to reach Brooklyn on social media, hoping he might at least see the message there. They’re heartbroken.”

The Beckham parents are said to be concerned not only about the estrangement but about the emotional toll it's taking on the rest of the family — particularly Brooklyn’s younger sister Harper, 13, who reportedly feels her brother’s absence at family events.

While Brooklyn was absent from both the London birthday bash and a fishing getaway with brothers Romeo and Cruz, those close to Nicola claim the couple stayed away due to discomfort around Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who is rumoured to have dated Brooklyn in the past.

The breakdown has not only impacted private family dynamics but has also spilled into the public realm. Friends of Nicola have allegedly made critical remarks about the Beckhams online, further fueling tensions.

One insider claimed Victoria now sees Nicola as someone who has isolated Brooklyn and driven a wedge between him and his family: “Victoria thinks Nicola has manipulated the situation to her benefit — she’s a Beckham now, and that gives her access and influence.”

Despite previous attempts at reconciliation, especially after the wedding fallout, sources close to Victoria say she has now “had enough.”

Brooklyn, described as “stubborn” by those familiar with the situation, is reportedly seeking space and independence, while family friends warn that the impasse may become more difficult to repair as time goes on.

Nicola, who once enjoyed a close relationship with Harper, is also said to have drifted apart from the teenager — the two haven’t seen each other since December 2024, further highlighting the distance that has grown between Brooklyn and the rest of his family.

While the Beckhams have long projected an image of unity and resilience in the public eye, this episode reveals the complex emotional reality that even the most high-profile families can face behind closed doors.

As the feud plays out, many observers are left wondering whether a path to reconciliation remains — or if the divide will define the next chapter of the Beckham family story.
