At a Glance
- Brooklyn Beckham reportedly sent a legal warning telling parents David and Victoria to contact him only through lawyers
- Victoria and David Beckham have allegedly not reached out to Nicola Peltz in almost a year
- The couple unfollowed Brooklyn and Nicola on Instagram, while Brooklyn blocked his parents and brothers
Why it matters: The public rift reveals how wedding-day tensions spiraled into a full family break four years later.
The long-running split between Brooklyn Beckham and his famous parents has reached a new low, with conflicting claims about who is trying-or refusing-to repair the damage.
Legal Notice and Social Media Freeze
According to U.K. reports, Brooklyn, 26, dispatched a formal “desist” letter that bars David, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51, from direct contact. The Sun says the notice also forbids them from tagging him on social media. A single Instagram “like” from Victoria was labeled a breach, prompting Brooklyn to block both parents online last summer.
The digital freeze extends across the family:
- Victoria and David do not follow Brooklyn or Nicola on Instagram
- Brooklyn and Nicola do not follow Victoria, David, or Brooklyn’s brothers Romeo and Cruz
- Cruz posted: “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … They woke up blocked … as was I”
Dueling Narratives About Reconciliation
On Jan. 9 a source told News Of Losangeles that the Beckhams “have repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward,” insisting the couple “have always been invited to all family occasions,” including David’s knighthood celebration in October.
That account was swiftly rejected by an insider close to Nicola: “The claim … that David and Victoria have made honest efforts to mend things is untrue. Neither parent has reached out to Nicola in almost a year.”
Reps for both sides declined to comment to News Of Losangeles.
Wedding Dress Origins
Trouble first surfaced after Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding. A source previously told News Of Losangeles that Victoria offered to design Nicola’s gown but never delivered, leaving Nicola to wear Valentino. Nicola was “painted as a brat” for the choice, though she had worn Victoria’s designs to many earlier events.
Public Signals
On New Year’s Eve David shared a grid post of favorite 2025 moments featuring Romeo, Cruz and Harper, but not Brooklyn. He later added Stories that included a childhood photo of Brooklyn with the caption, “I love you all so much.”
Despite the olive-branch imagery, an insider maintains, “David loves his kids … they are his everything,” yet adds the parents are “hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”
Key Takeaways
- The Beckham split is now four years old and shows no thaw
- A legal notice and Instagram blocks have formalized the estrangement
- Each side blames the other for refusing to engage
With neither camp backing down, reconciliation appears stalled for the foreseeable future.
