In a festive declaration that has intensified rumours of a major family rift, Brooklyn Beckham has publicly proclaimed his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, as his absolute priority, seemingly at the expense of his famous parents.
A Festive Tribute Amidst Family Tensions
The 25-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham shared an intimate photograph on Instagram, holding hands with his 30-year-old wife while celebrating Christmas with her billionaire family in Miami, Florida. The image prominently featured the tattoo of Nicola's name on his hand. He captioned the post with the unambiguous phrase: 'My Everything'.
This public display of devotion stands in stark contrast to his recent actions towards his own family. The post comes just days after it was revealed that Brooklyn had blocked his parents on social media, preventing them from viewing his updates. The rest of the Beckham clan celebrated Christmas in the United Kingdom without him.
Veiled Digs and Public Snubs
The apparent estrangement has been playing out in public for months. Earlier this year, fans noted the conspicuous absence of Brooklyn and Nicola from the lead-up to David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations. The couple then completely snubbed the party itself, failing to attend or even publicly send birthday wishes to the retired football star.
Further fuelling speculation, Brooklyn recently posted a video on the TikTok account for his Cloud 23 sauce business. The clip featured him walking down a street with Lady Gaga's song "Telephone" playing. He specifically chose a segment where the lyrics state: "Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy." These words were highlighted on the video, which many interpreted as a pointed message to his family.
The situation deteriorated further when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows in a private ceremony without any Beckham family members in attendance. The mutual unfollowing on social media sparked fan accusations, prompting Brooklyn's younger brother, Cruz Beckham, 20, to defend his parents. Cruz insisted it was "NOT TRUE" that Victoria and David had unfollowed their son, clarifying: "They woke up blocked... as did I."
The Beckhams' Brave Face
Back in the UK, David and Victoria Beckham have attempted to project a picture of festive normality. Victoria shared images of David, in a Santa hat, cheerfully decorating the Christmas tree. Later, she posted about enjoying martinis prepared by their son Cruz. The couple have maintained a strict silence on the feud in public, and reports suggest questions about Brooklyn were off-limits during promotions for Victoria's Netflix documentary.
As Brooklyn and Nicola continue their life in the United States, distanced from the Beckham dynasty, this Christmas has laid bare a deep and very public family divide, with the eldest Beckham son making his loyalties unequivocally clear.
