The ongoing Beckham family tensions have taken a new twist with claims that Brooklyn Beckham has blocked his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, on Instagram. This contradicts previous reports suggesting that the couple had unfollowed Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Reports from The Mail indicated that David and Victoria, who reside in the Cotswolds, had stopped following their eldest son. However, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, shared a different perspective. On social media, Cruz, 20, urged the public to “get the facts right,” stating that their parents would never unfollow Brooklyn. Instead, he revealed that it was Brooklyn who had blocked both their parents and himself on Instagram. Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn’s wife, also does not follow David and Victoria, highlighting the fractured online relationships.
This discord appears rooted in months of familial strain, notably Brooklyn’s absence from David’s 50th birthday celebration in May. The rift reportedly began during preparations for Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish 2022 wedding in California. Sources suggest that financial disagreements with the Peltz family, who reportedly supported much of the couple’s lifestyle including their Los Angeles properties, sparked tension. The Beckhams, known for emphasizing financial responsibility—evidenced by Brooklyn working at a coffee shop as a teenager—are contrasted with Nicola’s affluent background.

Despite this, friends defend Nicola and Brooklyn’s relationship, emphasizing Nicola’s long-standing career in entertainment as a writer, director, and producer, alongside proud support from her parents. They reject notions that Nicola is simply “pampered,” highlighting her work ethic and gratitude.
The family feud deepened when Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s birthday party after discovering that Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull, now dating his brother Romeo Beckham, would attend. Brooklyn also reportedly ignored his father on Father’s Day. TMZ reported that Brooklyn and Nicola felt forced to choose between attending the main family celebrations and avoiding Romeo and Kim’s presence, leading to further distance.
Kim Turnbull, who has faced public scrutiny, shared candid thoughts about dealing with unfounded rumors, expressing the difficulty but importance of not engaging negatively online.
Amid the ongoing drama, Cruz Beckham posted Beatles lyrics about love and truth on Instagram, implying that the real story behind the family discord will come to light. He expressed his support for his parents while cryptically hinting at underlying issues.
Adding to speculation, Brooklyn recently purchased a home in Los Angeles, sparking rumors that he sought to distance himself physically from his family’s UK residences. However, a source clarified to the Daily Mail that the new home aligns with the couple’s careers based in LA and Brooklyn’s childhood connections to the city during David’s time with LA Galaxy. Therefore, the move is practical rather than personal.
The Beckham family’s social media dynamics continue to fuel public interest as personal and professional lives intertwine, leaving many awaiting further developments in this high-profile family drama.
