The ongoing and very public rift within the Beckham family has taken another emotional turn, with reports that Brooklyn Beckham's grandparents were left deeply hurt after being excluded from a major family milestone.
The Secret Vow Renewal That Caused Heartbreak
According to sources speaking to the Daily Mail, Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz renewed their wedding vows in August 2025, just three years after their multi-million pound wedding in Florida. The intimate ceremony was held at the Peltz family's Westchester property, near New York. However, the couple allegedly did not inform Brooklyn's grandparents, Jackie Adams and Sandra Beckham, about their plans.
The first Jackie, 74, and Sandra, 77, knew of the event was when they saw pictures posted online. A source close to the family revealed the profound impact this had, stating: "Imagine being an old lady missing her grandson and seeing all of this on the internet. It must have been absolutely heartbreaking for them." The sentiment was compounded by the fact that Brooklyn was reportedly raised with significant help from his grandparents during his parents' busy careers.
A Feud Boiling Over Into Legal Action
This personal snub occurred against the backdrop of a rapidly deteriorating relationship between Brooklyn and his immediate family. The situation escalated dramatically when, at the end of summer 2025, Brooklyn allegedly sent his parents a 'desist' letter. This formal communication instructed David and Victoria Beckham to contact him only through lawyers.
The move reportedly left his parents "utterly bemused and devastated," with no direct means of reaching out to their eldest son. The feud is said to have been simmering for almost four years, intensifying over the past year as Brooklyn missed several key family events, including his father's 50th birthday, David's knighthood ceremony, and the premiere of Victoria's Netflix documentary.
The Social Media Block That Sparked the Letter
The catalyst for the extreme legal step is believed to have been a social media incident. Last month, Brooklyn is thought to have blocked his entire family after his mother, Victoria, liked one of his cooking videos—a chicken-in-beer recipe he shared online. His younger brother, Cruz Beckham, 20, publicly acknowledged the block on Instagram, confirming: "They (my parents) woke up blocked... so did I." Nicola Peltz has also now blocked the Beckham family on her social media accounts.
An Olive Branch to the Grandparents?
Despite the turmoil and the hurt caused by the secret vow renewal, it is understood that Brooklyn maintains a bond with his grandparents. Sources indicate he has had phone and text conversations with both sets of grandparents and called them over the recent Christmas period, which he spent with Nicola's family in the United States.
This contact represents a fragile thread of connection. Last June, Brooklyn made a rare public family acknowledgement, posting "Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much" to his grandmother Sandra online. While the legal standoff with his parents shows no sign of immediate resolution, this ongoing communication with his grandparents suggests a line of dialogue remains open, even as the wider family rift seems deeper than ever.
