Victoria Beckham Gives Shoutout to Brooklyn Beckham Amid Rumored Rift

by

Victoria Beckham is always going to be a mama.

During the premiere of her new Netflix documentary, *Victoria Beckham*, on October 8th, Victoria Beckham—formerly of the Spice Girls—publicly thanked her whole family, including all four of her children with her husband, David Beckham.

On stage, she mentioned her children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper – and then playfully acknowledged her husband, David, saying, ‘Oh my God, he’s not a child!’ She also joked about how she was managing well without using notes.

Three of David and Victoria Beckham’s children – Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14 – were there. However, their eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, were not.

Victoria recently mentioned Brooklyn, but his notable absence has fueled speculation about a growing distance between him, his wife, and the rest of the family.

For a long time, the Beckham family didn’t publicly discuss rumors of a family feud. However, Brooklyn Beckham recently spoke out about the attention it’s been getting.

Ugh, can you believe the haters? He just *told* the Daily Mail – I read it first thing this morning, obviously – that there will *always* be people trying to bring him down. But honestly, he’s so lucky! He said he has the most amazing, supportive wife, and I just *knew* she was a good influence. It’s so good to hear he has someone who gets him, despite everything. Seriously, they’re perfect together!

He explained that he and Nicola cope with challenges by staying focused on their work and keeping to themselves, and that they are content with this approach.

Plus, the What I See author has methods for tuning out the noise.

Brooklyn explained, “People will always have something negative to say, but I just focus on enjoying myself – playing golf with friends is a great way to do that.”

Victoria, David, and their children haven’t publicly discussed the issue, but a source told TopMob News that the family problems might have started at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in 2022.

Oh my god, can you BELIEVE it? Apparently, Brooklyn and Nicola totally thought Marc Anthony was going to sing their first dance song! Like, they were expecting *him*! But then, Marc announced Victoria Beckham instead! Poor Brooklyn looked SO lost and uncomfortable, I feel so bad for him. It was just…awkward. I read about it, and honestly, I can’t stop thinking about how mortifying that must have been!

According to an attendee, guests were stunned when Nicola left the room in tears. She later returned, composed herself, and was able to enjoy the rest of her wedding celebration.

Since then, Brooklyn and Nicola have tried to mend things with his parents, but unfortunately, their relationship remains strained.

But a month later, another source denied the rumors about a falling out between the parents and their son, stating that it appeared to be a deliberate effort to spread misinformation.

For more on the Beckham family drama, read on.

As a wedding expert, I often get asked about family dynamics, and this one was huge! Everyone *expected* Nicola Peltz to wear a dress designed by her future mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. Their wedding was at Nicola’s family’s beautiful estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and while there wasn’t any actual *rule* saying she had to, the assumption was pretty strong from anyone following the planning from the outside.

So when she didn’t, going with Valentino Couture instead… Bad blood alert!

Nicola kept quiet about the issue for months, but eventually confirmed there wasn’t a conflict about the dress. She did admit she was a little upset that she couldn’t wear a custom dress designed by Victoria Beckham.

In August 2022, Nicola told *Variety* that she had initially planned to wear a dress designed by this particular designer and was very excited about it. However, a few months later, the designer informed her that her workshop wasn’t able to create the dress in time. This meant Nicola had to choose a different one. She clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing it, and she never expressed a disinterest in doing so. The misunderstanding originated there, and the media then exaggerated the situation.

You know, after everything, I’ve realized some people will always try to bring others down with negativity. It’s just their way. But honestly, what I’ve seen is that everyone on our team genuinely gets along, and that’s what really matters to me.

Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”

Victoria, who rarely speaks about gossip, finally described the Peltz-Beckham wedding as “beautiful.”

“Seeing my son so happy is incredibly meaningful to me,” she shared on TODAY that October. “You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Tom Cruise and all four of the Spice Girls attended Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party on April 20, 2024, though her daughter-in-law was unable to make it.

Nicola shared on Instagram that she was visiting her grandmother, who sadly passed away less than a month later.

Nicola couldn’t make it to Victoria Beckham’s birthday party, so she shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. She wrote, “Happy birthday to my beautiful mother-in-law! I’m so sad I can’t be there to celebrate with you and give you a hug. Sending you and my nanny all my love. I miss you all so much!” She’d also posted a birthday message on Victoria’s actual birthday, April 17th, sharing a photo of them together and writing, “I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever.”

Naunni’s death deeply affected Nicola, and many others shared their grief. Brooklyn posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, remembering Naunni’s joyful spirit and how she always brought laughter. They expressed missing her dearly and loving her forever, and sadly reflected on the fact that their future children wouldn’t have the chance to know her. Brooklyn described Naunni as a truly unique and irreplaceable person, saying she is missed every day.

In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing – growing up with a famous footballer father and a Spice Girl mother – and said he had a very happy childhood.

He admitted things were busy, but said he had amazing parents and really enjoyed himself.

Brooklyn and Nicola spent some of the holidays with Nicola’s family, the Peltzes. However, it was clear from photos shared in December that the entire Beckham family – David, Victoria, Brooklyn, and Nicola – were happily together, making any nostalgic or worrying looks into the past or future unnecessary.

Victoria shared a series of photos showing her family together for the holidays, writing, ‘Being with everyone makes me so happy. I love you all!’ She also tagged each of her children and her daughter-in-law in the post.

It’s unclear why, but Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of the pictures David Beckham’s parents shared from his 50th birthday celebration in London on May 2nd.

According to a source at TopMob News, the couple traveled to England, choosing to miss the Met Gala on May 5th, because they wanted to visit David and celebrate his birthday with him that week or weekend.

According to a source who spoke with *People* magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided not to go to David’s party because he didn’t want to encounter his brother Romeo’s girlfriend at the time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Turnbull had been attending more and more family events, like the Victoria Beckham fashion show in Paris on March 7th, ever since Romeo and she began dating publicly in November.

When someone on Instagram wondered why Brooklyn Beckham missed his dad’s party, seemingly because he wanted to be with Kim, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, quickly responded that Brooklyn and Kim were never a couple.

I was really shocked to find out from TopMob News on June 4th that Romeo and Kim have split up. Honestly, it makes me think a reunion between Romeo and his brother might be a good idea now.

Adding to the wedding drama, the couple’s first dance was unexpectedly awkward, and it’s still not clear what happened.

I was so shocked to hear what happened at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding! Apparently, they were led to believe Marc Anthony would be doing the honors of announcing their first dance. But then, Marc surprised everyone by announcing Victoria Beckham instead! I heard Brooklyn was totally caught off guard and felt really awkward in that moment. It must have been so unexpected for him!

Nicola briefly left the wedding reception in tears, but she returned feeling composed and able to enjoy the rest of the celebration.

While the situation was upsetting, it didn’t stop David from being a best man at Marc’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, it’s easy to see why Nadia might have been more affected by it.

According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola have genuinely tried to build a relationship with his family over the years, but currently, they’re not on good terms.

On May 24th, Brooklyn Beckham shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, calling Nicola his “whole world.” He expressed his unwavering love, saying he’ll always choose her and that she’s the most amazing person he knows, promising a future together.

When accusations arise, those accused usually hire lawyers. The recent story about Nicola being upset at her wedding three years ago could be a sign of further issues to come.

After reports surfaced that Brooklyn and Nicola had retained legal counsel – the same lawyer who has represented Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – a source confirmed to TopMob News that while the couple does have a lawyer, it isn’t for handling their public image or reputation.

Instead, they’ve brought in Jenny Afi, a lawyer from the U.K. firm Schillings, to correct inaccuracies and fight the spread of false information.

Although the law firm represents the Sussexes – and had David and Victoria Beckham as wedding guests in 2018 – a source confirmed there’s no link between this situation and Meghan and Harry. The source emphasized that Schillings is a well-regarded firm with many different clients.

The source pointed out that this situation itself proved the value of having a lawyer – to correct false information and ensure the truth is known.
