Brooklyn Beckham has made headlines with a surprising public critique of his parents, breaking his silence on their prolonged discord.

The 26-year-old, who is the eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham, took to Instagram on Monday evening to release a detailed six-page statement. In it, he declared that he has no intention of reconciling with his family, asserting that he is standing up for himself “for the first time in my life.”

Central to this family rift are Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 31. The tension has led to their absence from key family gatherings in recent months, including skipping David’s significant 50th birthday celebration.

Brooklyn expressed, “I have kept quiet for years, consistently trying to manage these issues privately.”

He continued, “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have persisted in taking matters to the media, forcing me to speak out and clarify just some of the falsehoods that have been circulated.”

‘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.’

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. 

‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. 

‘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. But I believe the truth always come out. 

‘My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. 

‘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. 

‘Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. 

‘They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. 

‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. 

‘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.

‘The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.”

‘My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one’, he continued 

‘My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song’, Brooklyn claimed

‘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. 

‘Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. 

‘My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. 

‘In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.

‘I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

‘My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

‘Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner. 

‘When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. 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 op even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations. 

The Daily Mail revealed that relations between the Beckhams broke down so completely last summer that at one point, Brooklyn asked his parents to contact him only via their lawyers

‘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!” But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

‘The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. 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.

‘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.’

The Daily Mail revealed that relations between the Beckhams broke down so completely last summer that at one point, Brooklyn asked his parents to contact him only via their respective lawyers, Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis.

One source told the Mail: ‘David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.’

It’s understood that Brooklyn doesn’t want his parents to contact him directly, or make public statements about him on social media.

There was no legal action between them – and no legal basis for the letter, which was simply a request. 

However, Brooklyn still remains in regular contact with both sets of grandparents.
