David Beckham was accompanied by his sons Romeo and Cruz at the Haute Couture Spring Summer 2026 show in Paris on Monday, marking a public family appearance amidst ongoing tensions with his eldest son Brooklyn. The former footballer, dressed in a smart navy jacket and jeans, accessorised with a white beanie and an oversized tote bag, appearing in good spirits as he navigated the fashion event.
Family Dynamics on Display
Cruz Beckham was all smiles as he walked hand-in-hand with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, who wore a tuxedo dress and heels for the occasion. Meanwhile, Romeo Beckham was joined by his girlfriend Kim Turnball, who opted for an oversized black coat paired with ripped jeans and sunglasses. This outing comes just one week after Brooklyn Beckham, aged 26, issued a damning six-page statement on Instagram, accusing his parents David and Victoria Beckham of controlling his life, ruining his wedding, and prioritising Brand Beckham over his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz.
Brooklyn's Explosive Allegations
In his social media post, Brooklyn claimed that his parents had been trying endlessly to ruin his relationship with billionaire Nicola Peltz in the lead-up to their wedding. He alleged that his mother Victoria, a fashion designer, cancelled making Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute, despite her excitement to wear the design. Additionally, Brooklyn accused Victoria of humiliating him by dancing inappropriately during their first dance at the wedding.
Reports indicate that Victoria Beckham has been in bits over the statement, with sources close to the family revealing her shock and concern that this could damage the family's brand. The sources added that David and Victoria are worried about further revelations and have been blaming Nicola for influencing Brooklyn's actions.
Romeo and Cruz's Response
Despite the family drama, Romeo and Cruz have continued to share their achievements online. Romeo, a model, posted behind-the-scenes pictures from his appearance in the Willy Chavarria show on Friday, while Cruz promoted his upcoming sold-out London show and announced an extra tour date with his band The Breakers. In Brooklyn's statement, he accused his brothers of being sent to attack him on social media before blocking him, though these allegations were less severe than those against his parents.
Subtle Hints and Speculations
Some observers have speculated that another line in Brooklyn's post, which mentioned his mother inviting women from his past into their lives to cause discomfort, might indirectly refer to Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnball. Rumours have previously linked Kim to Brooklyn, though she has denied any romantic involvement, stating they were merely friends. Cruz's social media activity has also hinted at the feud; the day after Brooklyn's post, he shared a thank-you message to fans with his mother's Spice Girls song Who Do You Think You Are? as the background music, a move interpreted by some as a subtle response.
Fans have criticised Brooklyn for the timing of his statement, noting it coincided with Cruz's promotional efforts for his shows. One online commenter remarked that Brooklyn knew exactly what he was doing by overshadowing his brother's announcements, highlighting the ongoing tensions within the Beckham family.
