BROOKLYN Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz are willing to end their feud with David and Victoria – if they issue a public apology.
The once impenetrable Beckhams have been split apart with eldest son Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz adrift in California.
Hot sauce entrepreneur Brooklyn was notably absent from dad David’s knighthood celebrations last week as Golden Balls marked the honour, given to him by King Charles inside Windsor Castle, with a Michelin star meal at pal Gordon Ramsay‘s Chelsea restaurant.
Prior to that, Brooklyn failed to congratulate his dad on achieving the lifelong dream when the honours list was announced, and he missed a number of events celebrating Becks’ 50th birthday.
One of which, David’s fishing trip to Scotland with sons Cruz and Romeo, saw the dad-of-four write on Instagram afterwards: “You were missed @brooklynpeltzbeckham.”
An insider has now said that while a public apology won’t thaw the ice overnight, it would go a long way to healing the feud which is said to be fuelled by ‘anti-Nicola’ stories briefed to the media.

A source told the Mail: “There is an obvious first step which would be a public acknowledgement [by David and Victoria] of what they did, and an apology. It cannot be a performative thing. There is no realistic chance of a reconciliation without that happening first.”
The insider added: “It is hard to understand the intensity and the escalation. It seems that they thought they could heap abuse on Nicola without any consequence. They did not let up.
“It matters what was written. It seemed as if things were being said without any regard being paid to the impact on Brooklyn. He is loyal to his wife.”
Publicly, David and Victoria haven’t directly addressed the fallout, though Victoria did hint at her feelings in an interview ahead of the release of her Netflix documentary.
In it, she spoke about seeing Oasis at Wembley Stadium after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher reconciled for an epic tour.
Many drew parallels between the warring Manc brothers and the Beckham siblings, who have traded online digs amid the feud.
“I just think their mum must be so happy,” Victoria told The Sunday Times.
“It must have been really tough on the mum, the boys not talking for all those years.
“And I just think as a mum, that must be … she must feel so happy to see her boys getting on.”
The designer is described as having become “lost in thought for a moment” by the interviewer.
The Beckham family feud dates back four years to Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish wedding.
There are contrasting stories over a wedding dress row, which saw Nicola wear Valentino instead of her mother-in-law’s label, with some claiming Nicola snubbed Victoria’s brand while others say it was Victoria who U-turned on the idea.
Relations were dealt a further blow when Beckham ally Marc Anthony called Victoria the “most beautiful woman in the room” ahead of her first dance with Brooklyn, a statement the Peltz’s found disrespectful.
In the years that followed there were happy family selfies and united fronts at events attended together, but this year tensions ramped back up.
In August, the clearest indication of unrest came as Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows, which were presided over by Nicola’s billionaire dad Nelson, and none of the Beckhams were invited
