Trouble is brewing in the paradise that is the Beckham household, with reports of a growing rift that threatens to divide the family. Brooklyn has been missing from the Beckham family gatherings lately, supporting rumors that he has been drifting apart from them and has put his wife over them.
The Beckham family has been the epitome of unity and harmony for the longest time, but now faces scrutiny because their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, has stopped taking part in family gatherings. The couple was missing from David Beckham’s 50th birthday party on May 2, a day when the rest of Brooklyn's family was busy celebrating the bash on social media.
Considering the fact that it was David's 50th birthday, Brooklyn Beckham's absence from the event spoke volumes, even as all of his other siblings made it to the event. Recently, one source has shed light on the family dynamics in an interview with Us Weekly, in the wake of Brooklyn missing his father's 50th birthday.
"There hasn’t been any sort of resolution from either side. Brooklyn didn’t reach out because things are tense and he didn’t think it would be a productive conversation. Brooklyn is trying to let things go right now and is giving everyone space. (Brooklyn and Nicola are) just doing their own thing. They have their own separate lives and have been carrying on for now"
Another insider with the know-how of the situation recently revealed:
"David and Victoria are over it. They’ve thrown in the towel over the whole thing. David and Victoria just want to treat everyone the same and approach life like a family and the family does things a certain way. But Brooklyn isn’t playing it like that, and everything is a drama. They just tell the whole family there’s a party, ‘Here’s the time, here’s the date.’ It’s not that complicated. Everyone else seems OK with it."
Origins of the rift between Brooklyn Beckham and his family
The rumors of tension in the Beckham household have been building for years now, having first started during Brooklyn Beckham's and Nicola's wedding ceremony in 2022, when the latter reportedly clashed with Victoria Beckham over multiple details. With the couple reportedly spending significantly more time with the Peltz family than with the Beckhams since the wedding, the rumors have only amped up since.
Especially noteworthy are the social media updates from the couple and ambiguous comments from family members that have played a part in fueling talk of tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his family. Despite the rumors, the couple appears to be standing side by side in whatever happens. In a recent post on social media, Brooklyn seemed to give hints about his loyalties while declaring his love for his wife. The caption beneath the photo said:
"My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby"
Brooklyn Beckham's social media post has only added to the tensions playing out in real time. The statements were construed as Brooklyn's declaration of loyalty by some sources, while others brushed it off by labelling it a simple act of love for his significant other. While fans have expressed concern over Brooklyn Beckham’s reported distance from his parents, insiders suggest that the situation is not yet beyond repair.
