Beckham

BROOKLYN Beckham shared an emotional birthday message to his wife Nicola Peltz amid the legal row with his parents.

The Sun revealed yesterday that the aspiring chef sent parents David and Victoria a legal notice warning they can now contact him only via lawyers.

The extraordinary “desist” letter also instructs them not to “tag” him on social media.

Despite the ongoing feud, Brooklyn took some time out of his day to post a gushing tribute message to his wife.

To celebrate her 31st birthday, Brooklyn shared a black and white photo from their vow renewal, which took place last August at Nicola’s family estate in Westchester, NY.

The photo showed them sweetly embracing with Nicola wearing her mum Claudia’s repurposed dress that she wore to her wedding in 1985.

FEUD BOMBSHELL

Brooklyn Beckham sends David and Victoria extraordinary legal notice

Brooklyn wrote: “My dear Nicola x happy birthday beautiful girl.

“I love you with all my heart and I am the luckiest man to call you my wife.

“You are the funniest and most hard working person I know.

“Can’t wait to stay young with you baby girl xx”

Although Brooklyn has switched off the comments on the post, it has been liked by over 30,000 people.

Just yesterday, it was revealed that Brooklyn is only in contact with his parents via the lawyers.

A breach of the legal letter was the reason why Brooklyn Beckham blocked his parents online after mum Victoria “liked” a roast chicken video he shared.

Posh’s positive response to his poultry recipe on Instagram then led to a fall-out last month, with youngest son Cruz, 20, posting: “They (my parents) woke up blocked . . . so did I.”

However, we revealed the blocking followed weeks of frustration from Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, who believe their requests for private reconciliation were ignored.

‘Heart-breaking tale’

Transformers star Nicola has also now blocked the Beckhams.

Brooklyn’s grandparents and wider family, though, have not been blocked and regularly comment on his posts, which he is happy with.

A source said: “Truly, people do not know the full facts of this heart-breaking tale, and think Brooklyn was just being truculent when he blocked his parents.

“The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately not publicly.

“He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately.

“For their part, David and Victoria have simply tried to let their beloved eldest son know the door is always open, and that they still care.

“After this letter, they had no other physical means of reaching out to him so what were they to do?

“They of course feel utterly bemused and devastated by this latest turn of events. There is no malice from their part, only concern.

“But it is clear, if there is going to be any reconciliation, it will be away from prying eyes and must be done privately.

“That’s all anyone wants but, alas, seems a long, long way off given they are only now communicating through lawyers.”

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.

However, last year, Romeo, 23, and Cruz blocked their older brother on Instagram, before unblocking him some time after.

This, Brooklyn’s friends feel, was therefore the “first social media act of war”.

The Beckhams’ feud with Brooklyn and Nicola dates back almost four years, and has reached rock bottom.

Pals of the US-based pair claim it started after his brother, former ­Burberry model Romeo, began dating Brooklyn’s ex Kim Turnbull.

But the Beckhams lay the fault squarely at the feet of Nicola, accusing her of being “difficult”, and deny a romantic relationship between Kim and Brooklyn.

This criticism has understandably hurt the actress, whose tycoon dad, Nelson, is worth more than £3billion.

She believes the relationship with her future in-laws became untenable in the months leading up to her 2022 wedding.

She gave an interview to Variety magazine confirming Posh had reneged on an offer to design her gown, meaning she wore a bespoke Valentino dress instead.

Victoria was also devastated to have been accused of hijacking the wedding day itself after singer Marc Anthony — whom the Beckhams had booked — described the mum of four, not bride Nicola, as the “most beautiful woman in the room”.

Both Brooklyn and Nicola are said to have cried on their wedding day, and relations between the two families have not been the same since.

Despite a brief detente — Nicola supported the designer’s fashion show in Paris while Posh attended the red-carpet premiere of her movie Lola — things have since deteriorated.

They have not spoken in 13 months, with the most recent public fall-out occurring ahead of the ex-England captain’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last May.

Neither Brooklyn nor Nicola attended any of his week of events.

SIR David Beckham’s Hollywood star ceremony could be overshadowed if son Brooklyn snubs it despite living nearby.

A date is being fixed over the next few months for the Walk of Fame unveiling, less than five miles from the house Brooklyn shares with wife Nicola Peltz.

And things could get awkward — as it comes after he ignored a loving New Year’s message from his football star father amid their ongoing family feud.

A source said: “Brooklyn snubbing David’s special day will be a very public humiliation as he lives in Hollywood.

“Of course, David is hopeful the family will have mended their relations by then, especially after he has offered an olive branch to Brooklyn. The rift has been a great cause of heartache.”

David, 50, was included in the Hollywood Walk of Fame class of 2025 after the success of his Netflix documentary. His engraving will include his title “Sir” after he was knighted by King Charles.

Nominees have two years to schedule their ceremony, and his is set to take place before the summer World Cup in the States.

Other honourees include rockers Green Day, actress Jessica Chastain and ­rapper Busta Rhymes.

On New Year’s Eve, Sir David posted a series of pictures on Instagram showing him with his four children. It included a shot of him and his eldest Brooklyn smiling cheek to cheek, with the caption: “I love you all so much.”

However, he got no response from Brooklyn, 26, who lives with actress Nicola, 30, in an £11.8million villa in Beverly Hills.

Last month, the wannabe chef skipped childhood pal Holly Ramsay’s wedding to swimmer Adam Peaty and spent Christmas with his billionaire in-laws in Miami.

David’s spokeswoman declined to comment. 

DAVID Beckham sent out a major olive branch to estranged son Brooklyn tonight in a series of emotional family posts.

The proud dad, 50, shared pictures of his brood, including son Brooklyn, 26, who has been absent from all family occasions this year, on Instagram and wrote: “You are my life [heart emojis]. I love you all, love daddy. On to 2026 x”

One black and white image saw wife Victoria on a sofa cradling baby daughter Harper and snuggling up to her three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Even more tellingly, David posted a picture of him and Brooklyn cheek to cheek and wrote: “I love you all so much.”

Brooklyn, who lives in LA with wife Nicola Peltz and is eight hours behind his Cotswolds based dad, has yet to post ahead of the New Year.

The loving family posts from David follow hot on the heels of his 2025 highlights reel, none of which featured Brooklyn.

BECKS’ APPEAL

David Beckham sends emotional message to son Brooklyn amid family feud

Among his greatest hits were huge life milestones like turning 50 and being knighted by King Charles.

Other features included Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and snaps of his children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 13, on holiday enjoying quality time together.

David wrote: “I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself ) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner.“

Despite not mentioning Brooklyn by name, David sweetly praised his “kids” and shared his love for them.

He added: “I‘m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all… But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say ‘On to the next‘.

“Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025. Victoria I love you & our kids.”

Today, former Manchester United ace Becks also wished his old boss Sir Alex a happy birthday.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola put on a united front this week as they continued their festive love-in Stateside.

In a photo, the pair were seen relaxing on a sofa in matching clothes.

Writing next to the picture, Nicola said: “We didn’t plan our outfits.”

Replying to her post, her husband wrote: “You’re my sweetie pie!”

WEDDING NO SHOW

The post came days after Brooklyn skipped childhood pal Holly Ramsay’s wedding.

The Ramsays and Beckhams are longtime friends and Brooklyn was once close pals with Holly as they grew up in LA together.

All of his family were in attendance to see Holly marry Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty on Saturday at Bath Abbey.

Victoria even designed the mother-of-the-bride’s dress.

Adam hailed the 200 guests’ support during his own “difficult time” after banning his mum Caroline from the wedding. 

FAMILY FALLOUT

The Beckham family feud has been rumbling on for most of the year, worsening since Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed his dad’s 50th birthday in May.

The couple have also shared subtle digs at his family in recent days after his brother Cruz revealed the Beckhams woke up to being blocked by the couple.

In a TikTok post after Cruz spoke out, Brooklyn played Lady Gaga’s song Telephone and wrote the lyrics: “Sorry I cannot hear you I’m kinda busy.”

Nicola also penned: “I love being home” in a selfie posted to social media, after the couple both shared photos from their Christmas with her parents.

CHRISTMAS APART

Victoria and David revealed a glimpse of their Christmas in Oxfordshire without Brooklyn.

In a touching video shared on social media, the couple – who have been together for 28 years – sang to each other as they slowed danced on Christmas Day.

And in what appeared to be a pointed message to their estranged son, Brooklyn the couple delivered the lyric: “And we’ve got nothing to be sorry for…”

They were dancing to Guilty sung by Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb.

Sharing the video, Victoria penned: “David and Victoria giving their very best Barry and Barbra on Christmas Day xxx kisses from us both xx @davidbeckham.”

DAVID Beckham shared a sweet family tribute to mark the end of 2025 – but son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were noticeably missing.

The former footballer, 50, shared a series of highlights from this year -including pictures of his wife Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and him receiving his knighthood.

David also posted snaps of his children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 13, on holiday and enjoying quality time together.

Alongside individual pictures with each of his kids, David also shared a family photos alongside wife Victoria from his 50th birthday.

But aspiring chef Brooklyn — who last week blocked his parents on social media — was not pictured in the post.

David wrote: “I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself ) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner.“

Inside the Beckhams’ Christmas without Brooklyn as they ‘send message’ to son

FESTIVE FEUD

Brooklyn Beckham spends Xmas with famous tennis star

Notably absent from their celebrations was the couple’s oldest son, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz.

Brooklyn himself posted a Christmas Eve snap of his wife, declaring that she’s his “everything” amid the feud with his family.

The couple then spent Christmas Day hitting the courts with tennis  player Reilly Opelka, as well as Nicola’s brother Bradley.

The ongoing feud between Brooklyn and his family escalated this month when he blocked his famous parents on Instagram.

The move infuriated brother Cruz, 20, who addressed the drama – revealing that Brooklyn removed the entire family – including 14-year-old Harper – from his social media.

The musician confirmed his parents woke up to being banned from seeing Brooklyn’s profile, and said: “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.

“They woke up blocked. As did I.”

Brooklyn’s wife Nicola is also not following any of the Beckham family on Instagram – weeks after the couple were absent from David’s long-awaited knighthood celebrations.

Meanwhile David and Victoria were not present for Brooklyn and Nicola’s New York wedding vow renewal in August.  

The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, were last pictured with David and Victoria last Christmas.

Earlier this week, Brooklyn reportedly called for his parents to apologise to Nicola, with a source claiming: “There was a long briefing war where it was open season on Nicola. They (David and Victoria) targeted Nicola and thought that they could do so without consequences.

“You can’t inflict that much pain and damage on two people and then expect to pick up the relationship via a public social media post. The person who caused the pain does not get to decide when they declare it is over.

“If they want to make up then they need to apologise and acknowledge the pain caused and make changes to show that it is not going to happen again.”

VICTORIA Beckham looks full of Christmas spirit — while son Brooklyn gets some beef from his followers.

Posh Spice, 51, had a shot of tequila with her beauty brand team as she prepared for a first Christmas without eldest child Brooklyn amid an ongoing feud.

Meanwhile, the wannabe chef, 26, shared a video of himself making a shepherd’s pie — but used beef mince instead of the traditional lamb.

One Instagram user told , who will spend the festive period with wife Nicola Peltz and her family in the US: “Please educate yourself.”

It comes after The Sun revealed the reason Nicola Peltz followed in the footsteps of Brooklyn by blocking the entire Beckham family on Instagram.

Sources confirmed to The Sun that Nicola stands by Brooklyn’s decision wholeheartedly and as such followed his lead in blocking all of the family too, including his 14-year-old little sister, Harper.

SUBTLE DIG?

Brooklyn Beckham’s wife shares post about ‘family’ after he blocked his parents

One insider said to The Sun: “Brooklyn and Nicola have been and will always be a united front.

Another source close to the couple says: “She will always back him so that’s why she’s done the same and blocked his family.”

The couple’s reps had no comment when contacted by The Sun.

It was first reported that David and Victoria had unfollowed their eldest son on Instagram amid a growing divide that has seen Brooklyn distance himself from his parents.

However, youngest son Cruz went on record to publicly confirm that Brooklyn had blocked all the members of the family and that David and Victoria would never unfollow their son.

BROOKLYN Beckham blocked his family on social media after mum Victoria “liked” a post of his about roasting a chicken, The Sun can reveal.

The budding chef, 26, saw red after Posh showed her approval of a self-shot video in which he discusses beer-brining a bird to give it extra flavour.

Former Spice Girl Posh’s response was soon followed with comments from fans urging estranged Brooklyn to build bridges with his family.

But it is believed that he got annoyed at his worried mum’s public display of affection as she bids to heal the family rift.

David and Victoria are understandably heartbroken by what’s gone on here

Source

Within hours of her olive branch, Brooklyn had blocked Victoria, 51, dad David, 50, brothers Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and his 14-year-old sister Harper.

It means they cannot see any Instagram posts he uploads from his LA home where he lives with actress wife Nicola Peltz, 30.

Fresh twist in Beckham family feud as David and Victoria UNFOLLOW son Brooklyn

POSH’S PAIN

Inside Victoria’s plans for Xmas without Brooklyn as she gives up on call hope

It was initially thought that the Beckham family had “unfollowed” Brooklyn’s account, as The Sun on Sunday reported yesterday.

Cruz soon put things straight.

Pulling no punches, he shared a post which 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.”

It marked the first time any of the image-conscious Beckhams had directly addressed the family feud.

Despite wall-to-wall coverage of the row, it was business as usual until Cruz’s blunt contribution.

Unsurprisingly, Cruz and Romeo are furious

A source

A source said: “David and Victoria are understandably heartbroken by what’s gone on here.

‘PUBLIC ATTACK’

“This came out of the blue for them, and in the lead-up to Christmas when families are supposed to come together, it’s devastating.”

The source added: “All they want is for things to be fixed but with every week they just seem to be getting worse.

“Unsurprisingly, Cruz and Romeo are furious that Brooklyn would make such a public attack.

“As for Brooklyn, he wants things fixed in private and not played out on social media, although his actions have resulted in quite the opposite.”

Brooklyn, who married Nicola in a lavish wedding in April 2022, has had nothing to do with his family since the start of the year.

It is thought the feud may have somehow been triggered during the lead-up to Brooklyn and heiress Nicola’s big day.

He swerved his dad’s 50th birthday celebrations in May and the proud ex-England football captain’s knighthood investiture at Windsor Castle last month.

In between, none of the Beckhams were present when the couple renewed their wedding vows in August.

The Beckhams have not been pictured together as a family since Boxing Day last year.
