Brooklyn Beckham felt compelled to address his ongoing family rift on Monday, breaking his silence in a heartfelt statement. The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham took to Instagram Stories to share his perspective, aiming to “set the record straight” amidst claims that his parents have been speaking to the press about his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz.

In his detailed message, the 26-year-old expressed a desire to distance himself from the media narratives shaped by his parents, stating, “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled; I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.” Brooklyn alleged that throughout his life, his parents have managed family stories in the media, often through curated social media content and orchestrated family gatherings.

Brooklyn further accused his parents of going to great lengths to maintain their public image, claiming, “Recently, I have witnessed the extent to which they will spread falsehoods in the media, mainly at the expense of innocent people, all to uphold their facade.”

Brooklyn continued, “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family [with] performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships. … Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”

Noting that “the truth always comes out,” he claimed David, 50, and Victoria, 51, “have been trying endlessly to ruin [his] relationship” with Peltz, 31, since before they walked down the aisle in April 2022.

“It hasn’t stopped,” he alleged. “My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.”

David and Victoria allegedly “repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe” Brooklyn into “signing away the rights to” his name ahead of his nuptials.

“My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since,” he claimed. “During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

Brooklyn went on to write that the Beckhams “value public promotion and endorsements above all else” because “brand Beckham comes first.”

He explained, “Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our
professional obligations.

“We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family,’” Brooklyn continued. “But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.”

He hit back directly at “the narrative that [his] wife controls” him, calling this notion “completely backwards.”

Brooklyn insisted, “I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. 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 concluded, “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.”

Reps for David and Victoria did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
