Brooklyn Beckham is said to be feeling profoundly relieved and content following his explosive public statement in which he criticised his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham. According to insiders, the 26-year-old aspiring chef "couldn't be happier" with how his candid words have been received and the subsequent fallout.
A Weight Lifted Off Their Shoulders
In a lengthy outburst shared earlier this week, Brooklyn took direct aim at his parents, accusing them of attempting to control the narrative of his life throughout the years. He made the stark declaration that he now wants nothing more to do with them, marking a dramatic escalation in the long-simmering family tensions.
A source close to Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, revealed that the couple found the act of releasing the statement to be genuinely therapeutic. They were finally able to articulate a number of long-held grievances that had been weighing heavily on them.
"They couldn’t be happier with how things have panned out," the insider told The Sun. "They told us, ‘We’re glad we did it’. They feel like a massive weight has been lifted off them and they’re pleased with the support they’ve received."
The source added that the very public airing of grievances has only served to solidify Brooklyn's position, making it "even clearer to him — he wants nothing more to do with his parents."
Specific Grievances Surface
Among the specific allegations levelled by Brooklyn was a claim that his mother, Victoria, marred his wedding day in 2022 when he married Nicola Peltz. He asserted that she humiliated him by taking over the meticulously planned first dance that he and his wife had organised for their special day.
This detail adds a deeply personal layer to the very public dispute, suggesting that the rift involves specific incidents beyond general feelings of control or interference.
Public Appearances Suggest a Unified Front
Despite the ongoing media storm, Brooklyn and Nicola have been photographed looking relaxed and happy during recent outings. The couple were seen taking a leisurely stroll together, presenting a united and affectionate front to the world.
A body language expert analysing the images noted that the pair appeared wrapped in their own "love bubble," with Brooklyn adopting a notably protective posture towards his wife.
"Brooklyn has his left arm coiled around Nicola's shoulders, and in some pics, he wraps it around her neck as though wanting to pull her even closer," observed expert Judi James. "Nicola nestles under his left armpit, and the impression given is that he is taking a protective role here."
The expert highlighted that even their hand-hold suggested Brooklyn was taking the lead, with his hand enveloping hers in a "big paw" clasp that signalled guardianship and solidarity.
The Parents' Response: Strategic Silence
In stark contrast to their son's very public pronouncements, David and Victoria Beckham have maintained a steadfast silence since the statement was released. This approach has been endorsed by public relations experts as the most prudent course of action.
Jane Owen, a PR consultant to celebrities, explained that any form of public reaction would likely inflame the situation further and prolong the media spectacle.
"The best thing they can do is nothing. Truly nothing," Owen advised. "No responses. No statements. No 'we love our son' quotes. Any public reaction, even a gentle one, just keeps this alive and turns it into a back-and-forth."
She emphasised that silence in this context is not an act of coldness, but one of respect and a strategic move to avoid escalation. Owen suggested that if any healing is to occur within the family, it will happen privately, away from the glare of Instagram feeds and newspaper headlines.
The ongoing feud continues to captivate public attention, laying bare the profound personal tensions within one of the world's most famous families. For now, Brooklyn Beckham appears to be standing firmly by his decision to break his silence, reportedly feeling a significant sense of liberation for having finally had his say.
