Brooklyn Beckham has publicly criticized his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, saying they have controlled him and the media for his whole life. This comes as the family feud gets worse. On January 19, 2026, the 26-year-old chef and son of the soccer legend and former Spice Girl posted a long Instagram Story in which he said he didn’t want to make up. This was a big step up in the long-rumored feud between the Beckham family.
Brooklyn said that his parents have “controlled narratives in the press about our family” by staging posts and events and putting “Brand Beckham” ahead of real relationships. He said they told “countless lies” to the press to protect their reputation, even if it meant hurting innocent people. He also said they tried to ruin his marriage to Nicola Peltz Beckham before their wedding in 2022. The post talked about how he felt “uncomfortable and humiliated” on his wedding day and how his mother wouldn’t help Nicola with her dress, which caused years of tension.
There were reportedly problems at Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in 2022, when Victoria “hijacked” moments, which caused ongoing problems. In 2025, Brooklyn missed important family events like David’s 50th birthday. After Victoria liked a post, he blocked his parents and siblings on Instagram, which led to public calls for them to get back together. By the end of 2025, Nicola had taken down pictures of the Beckham family from her Instagram, which showed that they were no longer together.
