Brooklyn Beckham has taken a drastic legal step in his ongoing estrangement from his famous parents, Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham. Reports indicate the eldest Beckham child has formally instructed his mother and father to communicate with him solely through his legal representatives.
The Legal Ultimatum and Social Media Fallout
According to sources, Brooklyn served his parents with a formal legal notice at the end of last summer. This document explicitly stated that all correspondence must be channelled through lawyers and demanded that the family cease tagging him in social media posts. The move appears to have been a response to Brooklyn's feeling that his wishes for private reconciliation were being ignored in favour of public gestures.
The situation escalated further when Victoria Beckham reportedly breached the terms of this letter by liking one of Brooklyn's Instagram posts—a video of him cooking a roast chicken. In reaction, Brooklyn promptly blocked not only his parents but also his siblings—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—on the Meta-owned platform. A source explained to The Sun: "He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately."
Olive Branches and Underlying Tensions
The legal letter marks a new low in a relationship that has reportedly been strained for years. Tensions became particularly visible when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge his father's 50th birthday celebrations or his knighthood from King Charles, despite being in London at the time. Prior to the legal action, David and Victoria had made several attempts at reconciliation, including tagging Brooklyn in family-centric social media posts during holidays and birthdays.
Insiders suggest the root of the feud stretches back almost four years, intensifying around the time of Brooklyn's wedding to Nicola Peltz and worsening significantly over the past year. Despite the profound rift, it's claimed David and Victoria have consistently tried to convey that their love for their son remains, regardless of the fallout.
Who Brooklyn Remains in Contact With
While the immediate Beckham family unit is currently blocked, Brooklyn has maintained relationships with other relatives. He is reported to have stayed in touch with all four of his grandparents—Ted and Sandra Beckham, and Tony and Jackie Adams—and even called them over the recent festive period.
Furthermore, his Instagram activity reveals he still follows his aunts—David's sisters, Joanne and Lynne, and Victoria's sister, Louise—as well as several cousins, including Quincy, Tallulah, Fin, and Liberty. A source close to the situation noted: "Brooklyn absolutely adores them and knows how much pain this is causing everyone. So he has reached out in his own time, but tried to keep it low-key so as not to drag them into it."
The source added that Brooklyn is navigating this "soul-crushing" family dispute as best he can, with his wife, Nicola Peltz, described as his "absolute rock" throughout the ordeal. The situation underscores the complex and painful nature of family divisions, even within one of the world's most photographed households.
