THE real reason Brooklyn Beckham blocked his parents David and Victoria has been revealed after he issued a bombshell legal letter to them.
The letter was sent to his mum and dad last Summer and warned them they can only contact him via lawyers and also not to “tag” him on social media.
Brooklyn wanted any attempts to reconcile to be carried out privately rather than in front of the world on social media.
A perceived breach of the legal letter was the reason why Brooklyn blocked his parents online after mum Victoria “liked” a roast chicken video he shared.
Now a source has told the Mirror that he allegedly sent the legal notice in order to protect his mental health.
The insider told the publication: “It had been leading to issues with his mental health….it was to protect himself.”

They alleged that Brooklyn believes his parents still see him as a child and not as an adult.
The source continued: “Even the Xmas post by his dad was of Brooklyn as a child.”
The inspiring chef is reportedly also hurt by claims that his wife Nicola Peltz is the reason behind the estrangement.
“This narrative is so sexist and misogynistic, and he does not stand for his wife being vilified in this way.
“It’s a story as old as time: blame the woman for the man’s actions. It’s just deeply insulting.”
The Sun has contacted Brooklyn’s representatives for a comment.
Despite cutting contact with his immediate family, the 26-year-old still has a relationship with his grandparents and wider family.
We revealed that Brooklyn has contacted both sets of his grandparents over the past six months.
He has chatted with Tony and Jackie, and Ted and Sandra. He also called them during the festive period.
A source told us: “Brooklyn absolutely adores them, and knows how much pain this is causing everyone.
“So he has reached out in his own time, but tried to keep it low-key so as not to drag them into it.
“Brooklyn is navigating this soul-crushing family feud as best he can but it isn’t easy on anyone. Nicola remains his absolute rock.”
Last month, Brooklyn took to Instagram to demonstrate his chicken-in-beer recipe, prompting a “like” from Victoria.
Within 48 hours, he had blocked his immediate family on social media.
It was initially thought that the Beckham family had unfollowed Brooklyn, but Cruz soon put things straight.
He shared a post that read: “Not true. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.
“Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked . . . as did I.”
Nicola has also blocked her in-laws on social media and has deleted all traces of them from her page.
The actress has taken down a picture of herself with the former Spice Girl which she posted on Posh’s 50th birthday in 2024.
Nicola wore a white corset top and matching trousers designed by Posh Spice in the now deleted picture.
She posed with her arm around Victoria following the premiere of Nicola’s film Lola, saying: “Happy birthday to my beautiful mil [mother-in-law] Victoria Beckham.
“I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever.”
