Exclusive: Brooklyn Beckham's Tell-All Book Plans Unveiled Amid Family Rift
In a dramatic escalation of the Beckham family feud, eldest son Brooklyn is reportedly considering a bombshell tell-all book, following his blistering public attack on parents David and Victoria. Sources reveal the 26-year-old has held discussions with publishers, drawing parallels to Prince Harry's memoir Spare, as he seeks to "clear the air" after years of perceived misrepresentation.
A Family in Crisis: Victoria "In Bits" Over Son's Allegations
Victoria Beckham is said to be "in bits" and "shocked to pieces" after Brooklyn's six-page Instagram statement accused his parents of being "controlling" and attempting to pressure him into "signing my name away" before his wedding. The fashion designer's distress is compounded by fears that the revelations could damage the carefully cultivated Brand Beckham, with insiders suggesting the couple are "worried about what else he is going to come out with."
Brooklyn's explosive claims included allegations that Victoria "hijacked" his first dance with wife Nicola Peltz at their £3 million 2022 wedding, dancing "very inappropriately" on him and leaving the bride in tears. The statement marked a definitive break, with Brooklyn confirming he has no plans to reconcile with his family, describing it as "the beginning" rather than a final plea for resolution.
The Wedding Dance Controversy: Exclusive Footage Under Brooklyn's Control
The alleged inappropriate dance has become central to the feud, with celebrity watchers captivated by the claims. DJ Fat Tony, a friend of the Beckhams who performed at the wedding, provided context on This Morning, explaining that Marc Anthony called Brooklyn to the stage and invited "the most beautiful woman in the room" – Victoria – to dance, creating an awkward situation where Nicola reportedly left in tears.
Crucially, Brooklyn holds exclusive control over any footage of the controversial moment, thanks to the couple's strict no-phones policy that saw 500 guests surrender their devices in electronically locked pouches. A source revealed: "The only person who can lawfully release that footage is Brooklyn himself. While he's clearly been pushed to breaking point, he may still feel it's not something he wants to relive on such a hugely public scale."
Affair Allegations and Marital Strains: Historical Scandals Resurface
The potential book is expected to delve into longstanding rumours about David Beckham's alleged infidelities, which the couple have consistently denied. Most notably, former PA Rebecca Loos claimed in 2004 that she had an affair with the footballer, allegations he immediately rejected. In David's 2023 Netflix documentary, Victoria described this period as "the hardest" of her life, while Loos later asserted she had "never lied about a single thing."
Further claims emerged about alleged affairs with Sarah Marbeck, whom David reportedly contacted using codenames from Peter Pan, with texts urging discretion because "you have to remember Wendy" – referencing Victoria. The Beckhams dismissed these as "absurd and unsubstantiated," presenting a united front through their publicist.
"Separate Lives": Inside the Beckhams' Strained Marriage
Tom Bower's 2024 biography The House of Beckham painted a picture of a marriage under immense strain, claiming the couple were once so estranged they maintained only a "distant business relationship." The book alleged that ten years ago, their respective publicists "fed negative stories" about each other, with David accusing Victoria and her team of "waging a media war" against him.
Bower described serious cracks appearing in 2016 as the couple spent increasing time apart – David in Miami developing his football franchise, Victoria in London with her fashion business. The situation reportedly deteriorated to the point where Victoria was left "overwhelmed by rage and recrimination" after David admitted in an Australian interview that their marriage was "hard work."
Public Rows and Brand Preservation
The biography detailed several public flashpoints, including a ferocious argument at Glastonbury 2017 when Victoria arrived to find David partying with friends including a "glamorous Australian bikini model." Despite visible tension, the couple posed for cameras, understanding the importance of maintaining their brand image.
Bower argued that staying together was partly a business decision: "[David's] status and survival would have been washed away without Victoria's determination to maintain the illusion of a happy family. She steadfastly protected the brand. In return he continued to finance her vanity business."
Royal Parallels: Learning from Prince Harry's Experience
Royal expert Jennie Bond noted similarities between Brooklyn's situation and Prince Harry's, observing: "It's always sad when a family falls apart, and even worse when it's played out in a public arena. But that's what Harry, and now Brooklyn, have chosen to do." She suggested Brooklyn might learn from Harry's experience that "once you lose the trust of your family by revealing things that really should remain private, it's extremely hard to win it back."
With Brooklyn having "several years" of representation for photography and cookbook projects, sources indicate the focus has shifted to an "explosive, no-holds barred tell all." The same publisher behind Harry's memoir is reportedly involved, with a source noting: "He's seen how well the book did for Harry. Same publisher. Same idea of finally telling your truth. That's not a coincidence."
As the Beckhams maintain their silence, the family feud continues to unfold, with Brooklyn positioned to potentially deliver the most damaging revelations yet about one of Britain's most famous families. The coming months will reveal whether he chooses to follow through with publishing what could be the definitive account of life inside Brand Beckham.
