Beckham

ROMEO Beckham gets a lift amid his family’s ongoing feud with older brother Brooklyn.

David and Victoria’s model son, 23, tried his hand at sumo wrestling while in Tokyo with DJ girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24.

The couple visited the Tatsunami sumo wrestling stable for a bout.

At half his opponent’s size, Romeo easily lost — but still got stuck in.

The Tatsunami Instagram account shared the footage and said: “They were very friendly and chatted with the wrestlers.”

Romeo also shared the snaps online and said: “Didn’t stand a chance.”

Last week the youngest Beckham brother Cruz  took to his TikTok to share a video of him and Romeo along with their girlfriends Jackie Apostel and Kim Turnball as they sat in a car together.

The camera panned to all of them as they mouthed the noise to an audio track.

He captioned the post: “Imagine hating and we’re just here like.”

The seemingly savage swipe comes after their brother Brooklyn broke his silence on the family feud with an explosive statement.

He accused his parents of trying to end his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz as well as “attempting to bribe” him to “sign away the rights to his name”.

He took particular aim at his mum for reportedly cancelling making his wife’s wedding dress in the eleventh hour and claimed she danced “inappropriately” on him on his wedding day.

Brooklyn denied claims by Romeo and Cruz that he had blocked them on Instagram — insisting it was the other way around.

VICTORIA and Nicola clashed again this week – but for once it wasn’t with each other. 

The pair released brand new modelling shoots on exactly the same day as they made a bid to put Brooklyn’s statement behind them. 

Nicola has been signed up as the face of Italian fashion brand Genny to front their new Spring/Summer 2026 collection. 

As well as a pink trouser suit, Nicola wore a number of elaborate, colourful gowns for the brand.

Victoria meanwhile launched her debut eyewear range on the same day. 

She posed up in a pair of her own frames and said: “I wanted strong, instantly recognisable silhouettes that felt effortless to wear, so the focus for this collection was really on refining shape and proportion.”

It came just one day after David signed a huge 20-year deal for creating fragrances. 

He entered a new agreement with Interparfums, Inc to make scents under his brand. 

David said: “Together with their world-leading team, we will create products that are distinctive and timeless. I can’t wait to get started.” 

The family feud exploded after Brooklyn accused mum Victoria of ruining his wedding by dancing “inappropriately on me in front of everyone”.

Brooklyn, who wed actress Nicola Peltz in April 2022, said: “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”

The aspiring chef, 26, shared a furious tirade on Instagram in a move to defend his wife Nicola, and himself, amid the bitter family feud.

In six blistering posts on his Instagram stories, he claimed dad David and Victoria have been trying to “endlessly ruin my relationship” with Nicola.

Rebecca Loos has spoken for the first time after Brooklyn Beckham furiously hit out at his relatives, who he claims always put the brand of the family before anything else

Rebecca Loos has hit out at “brand Beckham” and thrown her support behind Brooklyn. Earlier this month, following years of speculation, Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria’s eldest child took to social media to furiously dismiss his relatives and explain that he has no intention of reconciling with them.

Brooklyn, 26, claimed that his famous parents would always put the family’s image before anything else, and he’d had enough of staged social media posts. But now, Rebecca Loos, who claims to have had an affair with Sir David, has spoken out and thrown her support behind the wannabe chef.

In a new TV interview, Rebecca has spoken out and claimed that the Beckham fall-out is “validation” for what she endured after going public with her alleged affair. “Suddenly you’re part of a big PR war,” she said.

Rebecca, 48, went on to add: “In a very small way, this is, of course, validation for what I said and came forward and said 22 years ago. Brooklyn is basically confirming inauthentic relationships, value of promotion, endorsements above all else, and that it’s all focused on brand Beckham, and that that’s all that matters.”

In Brooklyn’s scathing Instagram post, he also claimed his mother danced “very inappropriately” on him during his wedding reception after tying the knot with Nicola Peltz in 2002. He fumed: “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.”

Responding to this, Rebecca said in a new 5 documentary, The Beckham Feud: Truth & Lies: “Whether it came from her or whether it was Marc Anthony is beside the point because it shows a lack of awareness for other people’s feelings.

“I think any other mother would’ve read the room and understood this is awkward and probably said, thank you for the compliment, but the most beautiful woman in the room is Nicola, Nicola, please take this dance.

“Or at least if the mother had had a few too many glasses of wine and was unable to read the room, maybe the husband or the father would then have maybe stepped in and maybe grabbed Nicola, twirled her around and then swap partners to let her have the dance.”

It was in 2004 when Loos claimed she’d had an affair with Beckham while working as his personal assistant. Both David and Victoria strenuously denied the claims, but Rebecca continued to share what allegedly happened.

While she faced backlash for selling her story, Rebecca revealed several years ago that she felt as though she had to share the “truth”.

She told Closer magazine: “I just felt the need to be truthful. Whether you’ve done something that’s right or wrong, it was kind of just eating me up. I was living a lie and keeping secrets.”

The Beckham Feud: Truth & Lies airs at 9pm Sunday 1^st February on 5

“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

“Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

“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 comes 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’.

“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 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.”

“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 Beckhams feud with their son Brooklyn will take centre stage in a new documentary, which will reveal all about the world’s reaction to the shocking statement by Brooklyn about his parents

An explosive Beckham documentary will air tomorrow night, as more details are revealed about their feud. Channel 4 have announced a new documentary about the family feud following Brooklyn Beckham‘s bombshell statement.

In a message shared on social media, Brooklyn insisted he was not being controlled and was finally “standing up for himself”. He also accused his family of trying to ruin his relationship with Nicola Peltz.

“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,” he shared on social media.

“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.”

A new Channel 4 documentary will now air where the details about their strained relationship and the widespread attention the feud received will be examined. The Beckhams have remained together and united since the shock allegations, as experts in PR, showbiz personalities and psychologists discuss why the Beckhams are such a hot topic of conversation.

Just yesterday, Victoria posted an ode to her family after she was awarded a huge accolade at Paris Fashion Week.

“I’m so honoured to be named a Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. I have always deeply admired the French aesthetic and the seriousness with which it treats fashion: as a form of art,” she shared.

“To be recognised here and embraced in this way, is a profound privilege — one that reflects decades of commitment and dedication. My sincere thanks to the French Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati for this honour. Thank you also to business partners who believed in me, my family, and especially David — my husband, and original investor. I couldn’t be more grateful, you are my everything xx.”

Her husband David responded with his own post: “We are so proud of you and all that you have achieved @victoriabeckham. Being named a Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture… nobody deserves it more than you x.”

NICOLA Peltz Beckham allegedly struggled to call her husband’s parents by their names in an interview given just months after their Palm Beach wedding.

The model and actress sat down with journalist Polly Barton for an interview with The Times in October 2022, six months on from their star-studded nuptials.

Following on from Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive Instagram statements, Nicola’s interview was republished this week with Polly making fresh claims about Nicola’s comments and what she believes really went down during the wedding dress row.

In a new op-ed for Grazia, Barton revealed that Nicola had trouble referring to her groom’s parents by their first names.

“I was struck by Nicola’s borderline inability to speak either David or Victoria’s names,” she wrote.

“The ‘she, Victoria, uh’ in the above quote, was as direct as it got, otherwise, it was just ‘Brooklyn’s mom’ or ‘dad’.”

Nicola referred to Victoria as she, and then corrected herself and called her by her full name when explaining the reason why she didn’t end up wearing a wedding dress by the fashion designer.

‘The truth is that I was in a text chain with my mom, Victoria and Leslie, who’s been my stylist for 10 years,” Nicola began.

“We all were on this tech chain together, and I was so excited to start the design process.

“Um, and then Victoria, um, was like… Oh! And this was in the middle of me filming [her directorial debut] Lola James!

“So I was very busy. And then she, Victoria, uh, was very busy, and then we started this text chain, and a few days went by, and I didn’t hear anything, then I think Victoria thought since I was on set, maybe she didn’t want to upset me, so she called my mom and said that she couldn’t make the dress.

“She said that her, um, atelier couldn’t make the dress in time,” she concluded.

A key revelation from Brooklyn’s social media statements saw him accuse his mum of pulling out of designing Nicola a wedding gown at the last minute.

‘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,” Brooklyn wrote.

Re-examining Nicola’s quotes from her interview now, Polly feels that Nicola was actually let down by Victoria over the wedding dress, although the full reasons remain unknown.

“That statement reads like a massaging of the rather ugly truth Brooklyn described on Instagram; his mother just not making the dress she’d promised,” Polly writes.

In the original interview, Nicola made it clear she was initially excited to wear a custom Victoria Beckham wedding gown, before later revealing how it didn’t happen.

‘I really, really wanted to wear [a Victoria Beckham dress] and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me!” she said back in 2022.

“And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it.”

Signing off his tell-all statements, Brooklyn publicly told his parents that they can only contact him through lawyers going forward after growing increasingly frustrated by them mentioning him on social media.

On Monday, Victoria and David put on a united front in Paris in wake of the ongoing row.

The former Spice Girl received the Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres — Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters – regarded as one of France‘s top honours.

The couple attended the event with their three other children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, with Romeo and Cruz’s girlfriends, Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel also making an appearance to support Victoria.

Unsurprisingly, Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed the event and did not congratulate Posh – instead choosing to share a loved-up video to Instagram.

It contained a montage of lovey-dovey videos from Brooklyn and Nicola’s recent outings including packing on the PDA, walking her dog and dining out at a restaurant.

KATHERINE Ryan has revealed there’s already a documentary in the works about Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive attack on parents David and Victoria – and she’s been asked to take part. 

Following 26-year-old Brooklyn’s sensational statement on Instagram, Katherine, 42, branded him an “ungrateful nepo-baby” while discussing the situation on her Telling Everybody Everything podcast. 

In the latest episode she discussed Brooklyn and wife Nicola’s wedding DJ Fat Tony appearing on This Morning to spill the beans on the eldest Beckham child’s claims Victoria “danced inappropriately” during the ceremony. 

Katherine said: “Do you know what I love about this is that? He’s like, ‘yeah, I do a lot of parties for the Beckhams’. Well, that was your last one. Like, what are you doing?

‘You can’t go on This Morning and spill the tea on the nation’s hottest goss. I can tell you firsthand that somebody somewhere is already making a documentary about this because I was invited to go on it. And I was like, me?

What do I know? I had an opinion. And, by the way, a lot of people feel passionately about this one way or another. I gave my opinion, which was very much team Beckham’s… well, team Victoria anyway because David, you know how they love an evil woman.

Katherine continued: “David is hardly mentioned. It’s all like mommy dearest kind of narcissist stuff, which I think is really unfair. Like I said, last week, they made the best choice that they could with the information they had at the time.

“And that’s just what every parent does. We’re not perfect. We’re fallible.”

In his six-slide rant, Brooklyn accused Victoria of ruining his wedding and “humiliating” him.

He wrote: “My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic 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.

“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”

Last night the Beckham family put on a united front in Paris as Victoria was honoured with a prestigious award.

Meanwhile Brooklyn and Nicola – who were not in attendance – raised eyebrows when they posted a loved-up TikTok at the same time as Posh’s big moment.
