Brooklyn Beckham Accuses Parents of Sabotaging Marriage, Prioritizing Brand Over Family
Brooklyn Beckham accuses parents David and Victoria of press manipulation, wedding sabotage and prioritizing Brand Beckham over family, saying he refuses reconciliation and seeks privacy.
Overview
The 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham, married to Nicola Peltz on April 9, 2022 at Nelson Peltz's Palm Beach estate, is the eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham.
In Instagram stories Jan. 19, Brooklyn accused his parents of canceling Nicola's wedding dress design last-minute, hijacking their first dance and pressuring him to sign away name rights.
He alleges family members were enlisted to attack him publicly, that the Beckhams prioritized brand endorsements over family, and that press manipulation preserved a cultivated public narrative.
David Beckham, speaking on CNBC while at Davos, avoided direct rebuttal, saying children 'make mistakes' on social media; parental representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Brooklyn says he won't reconcile and seeks privacy; the couple renewed vows in August 2025 without David and Victoria present, while past figures like Rebecca Loos commented.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame the story as a public family conflict emphasizing branding versus family through editorial choices: they foreground Brooklyn’s detailed accusations and emotionally charged quotes, cite context (tabloid reports, Netflix doc), and offer minimal parental rebuttal beyond David’s brief Davos remark, cumulatively creating reader sympathy for Brooklyn’s viewpoint.
