The Beckham family, long regarded as British royalty of both sport and style, has been rocked by a very public and bitter feud, with son Brooklyn making startling allegations against his famous parents.
Explosive Allegations Hit Social Media
On Tuesday 20 January 2026, Brooklyn Beckham, the 26-year-old eldest son of Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham, used his Instagram story to launch a series of accusations. He claimed his parents have persistently attempted to undermine his marriage to actor Nicola Peltz, whom he wed in 2022.
In a move that has stunned fans and observers, Brooklyn asserted that David and Victoria have been "trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped." This public airing of private grievances marks a dramatic escalation in what had previously been rumoured family tensions.
TV Personalities Label Feud 'Utterly Tragic'
The fallout was immediate, with prominent figures in British media expressing their dismay. On ITV's Good Morning Britain, presenter Susanna Reid described the situation as "utterly tragic" to see a family dispute play out so openly.
Her co-host Kate Garraway agreed, stating plainly that the whole affair was "horrible." Meanwhile, media personality Vogue Williams shared a video reaction, saying her "mind was blown" by the strength of Brooklyn's statement. The collective response paints a picture of a celebrity scandal that has cut through usual gossip to evoke genuine sympathy and shock.
A Contrast to Public Appearances
These allegations stand in stark contrast to the family's recent public displays of unity. Notably, Victoria Beckham had publicly praised her son's "beautiful wedding" to Nicola Peltz in the years following the 2022 ceremony. The current rift suggests significant behind-the-scenes discord that has now boiled over into the public domain.
The situation leaves many questions unanswered about the root causes of the dispute and whether a reconciliation is possible. For now, the Beckham brand, built on a image of familial success and glamour, faces one of its most serious public challenges.
