In a surprising turn, David and Victoria Beckham have expressed a willingness to reconcile with their son Brooklyn after he publicly accused them of undermining his marriage. The family’s internal dynamics have come under scrutiny following Brooklyn’s bombshell Instagram post on Jan. 19, which detailed alleged attempts by his parents to sabotage his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz.
Family Dynamics
The Beckhams, who also have sons Romeo (23), Cruz (20) and daughter Harper (14), reacted strongly to Brooklyn’s post. A source told News Of Los Angeles that the couple “are afraid of losing their son and would take him back in a minute.” They added that they are a close family, albeit “in a different way than Nicola’s family is.” The source also described the parents as “horrified” by the allegations and said they love Brooklyn.
A second insider told News Of Los Angeles that the Beckhams remain hopeful the rift will heal over time. The source added, “David and Victoria believe time will heal this,” and that they expect Brooklyn to return when he is ready.
Brooklyn’s Instagram Post
Brooklyn, 26, posted a series of Instagram Stories that accused his parents of trying to ruin his marriage to Nicola. He wrote:
> “My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one,” he wrote. He further alleged, “My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.”
He also claimed that his mother had hijacked his first dance with his wife at their 2022 wedding, describing the incident in front of 500 guests. The Beckhams tied the knot in front of nearly 600 guests in April 2022 at the Peltz family’s estate in Palm Beach, Fla.
Brooklyn’s post was a response to months of speculation about a rift between the family and his parents. He stated that his mother had repeatedly attempted to “ruin” his relationship with Nicola since before their wedding.
Family Response
Reps for David and Victoria did not respond to News Of Los Angeles‘s request for comment. A source told News Of Los Angeles that Brooklyn and Nicola “do not speak with David or Victoria,” and that they communicate only through mediators.
The Beckhams have not yet addressed the accusations directly. However, a source indicated that the couple has repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk to move forward.
David’s Comments on Social Media
The former soccer star addressed his children’s social media use on CNBC’s Squawk Box the day after the Instagram post. He said he had tried to educate his kids on the power and danger of social media, but that they still make mistakes. He added:
> “They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes,” he continued. “That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids. You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.”
David also reiterated that he loves his children and that they are his everything.
Moving Forward
A source with knowledge of the situation told News Of Los Angeles earlier this month that the Beckhams are hoping the strain between them will eventually end. They believe that time will heal the wounds and that Brooklyn will return when he is ready.
The family’s public dispute underscores the challenges of balancing high-profile careers with private family matters. As the situation unfolds, observers will watch to see whether the Beckhams can bridge the divide and restore harmony.
