On January 19, 2026, Brooklyn Beckham ended his silence over the tensions within the Beckham household through a series of Instagram Stories that left fans craving more clarity. At 26, Brooklyn revealed that his parents allegedly exclude his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, from the family circle, creating a significant chasm. Both David Beckham and his former assistant, with whom he was rumored to have had an affair, have now shared their perspectives. Rebecca Loos, the former assistant, weighed in online following Brooklyn’s pointed Instagram narrative.

The Beckham clan finds itself embroiled in a media storm after Brooklyn posted a string of heartfelt messages on Instagram, accusing his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of meddling in his private affairs. Brooklyn claims that his parents repeatedly tried to disrupt his marriage to Nicola Peltz Beckham. He detailed events from his wedding and accused his parents of attempting to steer the family’s public image.

In response, Rebecca Loos, who previously claimed she had an affair with David in 2004 during her time as his assistant, has spoken up. This affair allegedly took place years after David and Victoria’s marriage, though both have denied it. Loos stands by her story, asserting that it did occur.

Reacting to Brooklyn’s Instagram revelations, Loos commented on another Instagram post, expressing support. “I’m glad he’s finally standing up for himself and speaking out,” she remarked, according to E! News. “I’ve felt for his poor wife, knowing all too well what they can be like!”

Another Instagram user found Brooklyn’s admission intriguing, prompting Brooklyn to respond, “The truth always comes out,” accompanied by a red heart emoji.

David Beckham had a lot to discuss when appearing on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Jan. 20, 2026. While on the program, Beckham commented on “the power of social media.”

“I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media. For the good and for the bad,” David said. “The bad we’ve talked about with what kids can access these days, it can be dangerous. But what I have found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it for the right reasons. I’ve been able to use my platform and my following for UNICEF. And it has been the biggest tool to make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children.”

He added that he’s tried to “educate” his kids about social media. “They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes,” David continued. “That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids. … You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well.”

Rebecca Loos spoke out about the alleged affair in recent years

Rebecca Loos first entered the public eye in 2004. She claimed to have had a four-month affair with David Beckham, a story David publicly dismissed at the time as “ludicrous.” In recent years, Loos has revisited those allegations after the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham, which revisited that period in David and Victoria’s marriage. Loos has maintained she “never lied” about her claims and described standing up for her version of events as brave, especially given the Beckhams’ media influence.

“In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them,” Loos told 60 Minutes Australia, according to The Standard. “I have stuck to the truth. I’ve never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing. Why? Because I’m going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers. And all I had on my side was the truth.”

Loos went on to call the high-profile alleged affair a “big part” of her journey. “And if somebody tries to bring me down and smear me, I’m gonna have to stand up for myself,” she continued. “I think I always will.”
