Brooklyn Beckham has reignited speculation about a family rift with his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, after he and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were noticeably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebration in May 2025.

Addressing the rumors for the first time, Brooklyn opened up in January 2026, releasing a revealing statement. He attributed their estrangement to what he described as his family’s long-standing disapproval of Peltz, even before they tied the knot in April 2022.

In his statement on January 19, 2026, Brooklyn also accused his parents of shaping public narratives throughout his life. He claimed they maintained appearances through “performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships.”

The model and budding chef declared that “the truth always comes out” as he recounted instances where he believes his parents tried to exert control over him over the years.

The model stated that “the truth always comes out” while detailing the ways David and Victoria have allegedly tried to manipulate him throughout the years.

Brooklyn blocked David, Victoria and his brother Cruz on Instagram in December 2025.

At the time, Cruz confirmed the contentious move after reports alleged that his famous parents unfollowed Brooklyn ahead of Christmas.

“NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son,” the singer wrote via Instagram in response to a report.

“Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I.”

In Brooklyn’s latest IG statement, he claimed that his brothers “blocked [him] out of nowhere this last summer.”

January 2026: No chance at reconciling

Brooklyn finally addressed his family feud in January 2026 after he felt like he had “no choice but to speak for [himself and] tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed” about him in the media.

He accused his parents and their teams of feeding the press lies and stated he was “standing up for [himself] for the first time in [his] life.”

“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote. “Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.”

Brooklyn also claimed that he witnessed “the lengths” his parents will allegedly go “to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”

“For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief,” he continued.

“My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”

As for what led to Brooklyn finally breaking his silence on the family rift? “There has been a massive breakdown in trust,” an insider told Page Six on Jan. 19, 2026.

“From Brooklyn and Nicola’s perspective, they have tried everything they can to repair the relationship privately with David and Victoria. They’ve tried to talk it out, have tried to have meetings with them, but ultimately in the end, they just didn’t trust them anymore.”

Victoria and David didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s repeated requests for comment.
