Victoria Beckham Shares Message to Family Amid Brooklyn Beckham Rift

by

Victoria Beckham is letting love lead the way in the latest chapter of her life.

Victoria Beckham, formerly of the Spice Girls, shared her thanks after receiving an honor from the French Ministry of Culture. She was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters at a small ceremony in Paris on January 26th.

Victoria shared on Instagram that she’s long been inspired by French style and how seriously France takes fashion, viewing it as an art form. She called the recent recognition she received ‘a profound privilege,’ and said it was the result of many years of hard work and commitment.

The fashion designer, who has four children – Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 26, Romeo Beckham, 23, Cruz Beckham, 20, and Harper Beckham, 14 – with David Beckham, made sure to feature her family in her post.

She also expressed gratitude to her business partners for their faith in her and her family, and especially to her husband, David, who was her first investor. She ended by saying she couldn’t be more thankful, adding, “You are my everything.”

Oh my gosh, it was incredible! Besides Romeo, Cruz, Harper, and David, the QUEEN herself, Anna Wintour, was there! And Haider Ackermann, Tom Ford’s amazing creative director, too! I almost fainted when I saw Cindy Bruna, she’s breathtaking! And Edward Enniful from EE72? Seriously, a dream come true! Everyone was at Victoria’s party, it was just… perfect!

Victoria Beckham is opening up about family dynamics as she and her husband, David, deal with a public disagreement with their son and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, who recently spoke about their strained relationship.

Brooklyn shared on Instagram on January 19th that he’s been quiet for years and has tried to handle personal issues privately. However, he says his parents and their representatives keep talking to the media, forcing him to respond and correct false stories. He made it clear he doesn’t want to repair his relationship with his family.

The photographer claims his parents have manipulated media coverage about their family and have been meddling in his marriage since he got married in 2022.

TopMob News previously reached out to David and Victoria’s reps for comment.

Even though David and Victoria Beckham haven’t always had a close relationship with their son Brooklyn, they still cherish memories of their time together as a family. Photographer Platon Antoniou remembered a 2006 photoshoot in Madrid with the Beckhams, and Victoria fondly recalled the experience.

Victoria shared a nostalgic comment on Platon’s January 24th Instagram post, simply writing, “Good memories.”

For a complete breakdown of the Beckham family drama, keep reading.

While not required, many people expected Nicola Peltz Beckham to wear a wedding dress designed by her future mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. The wedding took place at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

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

Nicola kept quiet about the issue for months, but eventually clarified there wasn’t any conflict over a dress. She did admit to being a little upset that she couldn’t wear a custom design by Victoria Beckham.

In August 2022, Nicola told Variety that she had initially planned to wear a dress by this designer and was excited to do so. However, a few months later, the designer realized her workshop couldn’t fulfill the request, forcing Nicola to choose a different gown. Nicola clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing the original dress, and she hadn’t expressed any reluctance to wear it. This situation sparked rumors that were then exaggerated by the media.

You know, I’ve been following this situation closely, and Brooklyn really hit the nail on the head. She’s noticed that some people will always try to bring others down with negative comments. But honestly, the best part is that everyone involved seems to genuinely get 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 this 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 Victoria Beckham’s former Spice Girls bandmates attended her lavish 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 shared a birthday message for Victoria Beckham on Instagram, saying she was sad to miss the celebration but sending lots of love from her and her nanny. She also posted a sweet message on Victoria’s actual birthday, April 17th, with a photo of them together, writing that she loved Victoria very much and enjoyed dancing with her.

Nicola was deeply saddened by the loss of Naunni. Brooklyn also shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, marking a year since her passing. She remembered Naunni as a joyful person who always brought laughter, expressing how much she was missed and loved. Brooklyn also poignantly wished that her future children could have known Naunni, describing her as irreplaceable and fondly remembering her every day.

I recently read an interview with Brooklyn where he talked about growing up, and it was really heartwarming. He described his childhood – being the son of a famous footballer and a Spice Girl – as ‘crazy,’ but he genuinely said he was ‘so happy.’ It was lovely to hear him reflect on it that way.

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

Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz spent some of the 2024 holidays with Nicola’s family, and photos shared by David and Victoria Beckham showed the entire family—including Brooklyn—enjoying time together in the present, making it clear there were no lingering family tensions.

Victoria shared a series of photos from her holiday gathering, expressing her joy at being with her family. She wrote, ‘Being together for the holidays makes me so happy, I love you all so much,’ and tagged her children and daughter-in-law in the post.

It’s unclear why, but Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of the pictures his parents shared from the party celebrating David’s 50th birthday in London in May 2025.

Okay, so I heard from someone who knows that they totally ditched the Met Gala – can you believe it?! – and flew all the way to England! Apparently, they were desperate to see David and make sure they were there for his birthday that week or weekend. It’s just… everything they do is adorable, and this proves how much they care about their friends! I’m living for it!

According to a source who spoke with People magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided against going 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 show in Paris during March 2025, ever since she and Romeo publicly began dating in November 2024.

When someone on Instagram wondered why Brooklyn Beckham missed his dad’s party, seemingly to be with Kim, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, responded by clarifying that “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

TopMob News reported in June 2025 that Romeo and Kim have split up, suggesting a possible reconnection between Romeo and his brother could be on the horizon.

The wedding is facing more drama, as the couple’s first dance didn’t go as planned, and it’s still unknown exactly what happened.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz expected Marc Anthony to perform their first dance. However, Anthony instead announced Victoria Beckham, leaving Brooklyn confused and uncomfortable.

Nicola briefly left the wedding reception in tears, but she returned and was able to regain her composure to enjoy the rest of the celebration.

Okay, so things weren’t totally ruined for David’s family, thankfully, and he still got to be best man at Marc’s wedding in January 2023 – when he married Nadia Ferreira, his fourth wife, can you believe it?! But honestly, I totally get why Nadia might have been a little more upset about everything. It must have been a lot for her!

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.

In a May 2025 Instagram post, Brooklyn affectionately called Nicola his “whole world,” declaring his unwavering love and commitment with a message saying he’d always choose her and that they were meant to be together forever.

Ugh, it’s always the same, isn’t it? Whenever anything remotely scandalous starts swirling around them, they immediately lawyer up! And honestly, that story about Nicola being so upset at her wedding – three years ago now! – it feels like that was just the beginning of everything that’s about to come out. I had a feeling then, and I knew it. It was a warning sign, I just knew it!

Following reports that Brooklyn and Nicola Beckham have retained legal counsel – the same lawyer who previously worked with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – a source told TopMob News that the couple isn’t seeking legal help for managing their public image.

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

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. Schillings is simply a well-regarded firm that works 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.

As a lifestyle observer, it was interesting to see how David Beckham’s recent achievements played out publicly. When he received his knighthood in November 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola remained quiet about it, which some found noteworthy. Then, when Inter Miami CF won the MLS Cup the following month, it was primarily Victoria, and their younger sons Romeo, Cruz, and Harper who were there cheering him on. It definitely sparked some conversation about family dynamics and public support.

In late December 2025, rumors spread that David and Victoria Beckham had blocked their son Brooklyn on Instagram. However, Cruz Beckham quickly dismissed these claims.

He denied the claims on Instagram Stories, stating, “My parents would never unfollow me.” He clarified that his parents and he were all blocked, and that’s what people were seeing.

Brooklyn Beckham chose to celebrate Christmas 2025 with his wife Nicola’s family, including her parents Claudia Heffner Peltz and Nelson Peltz, rather than joining his own family. His younger brother, Cruz, stayed home with their parents for a more traditional holiday.

David recently shared a look back at 2025, posting photos of time spent with family and friends. Notably absent from the pictures were his oldest son and Nicola, Brooklyn’s wife, fueling speculation about a possible family disagreement.

An hour later, David posted old photos of himself with each of his and Victoria’s children, sharing a simple message of love – “I love you all so much” – alongside a black-and-white picture of Brooklyn.

In January 2026, Brooklyn posted a detailed message on Instagram explaining his difficult relationship with his family.

He stated he doesn’t want to make amends with his family. He explained that he’s asserting his independence and finally prioritizing his own needs, something he hasn’t done before.

Okay, so I’ve been following this whole Beckham family drama, and honestly, it’s just heartbreaking! Brooklyn is saying his parents have basically been pulling the strings with the media, shaping the story to fit their version of things. He feels like they only care about the ‘Beckham brand’ – the image, the fame – and not about him or his happiness. And the worst part? He genuinely believes they’ve been actively trying to sabotage his relationship with Nicola! It’s just… devastating to hear him say that. I’m totally on Team Brooklyn and Nicola now; they deserve to be happy, and it sounds like his parents are making that impossible.

He mentioned he’s always struggled with anxiety, but separating from his family has brought him a sense of calm and relief.
