SIR David Beckham shared sweet snaps with daughter Harper at an exclusive ski resort and spoke of “making memories” with his kids amid his family feud with eldest son Brooklyn.
Becks, 50, is in Courchevel, France, with Harper, 14, and it looks like they’ve had a fun-filled week of fine-dining and snowy exploration.

Proud David shared a selection of their photos and wrote: “Creating memories with the kids either together or one on one has always been been important to me.
“So this week Me and Harper created a few more memories. Love you pretty lady @harperbeckham.”
It comes a day after David came to the aid of a Brit tourist who fell over on the slopes in the French Alps.
A source said: “David saw the woman hit her head and was worried about her.
“He took her skis off and made sure she was OK – he was a true gentleman.
“David was incredibly lovely, and so was the ski guide with him.”
Meanwhile, Harper recently reached out to estranged brother Brooklyn on Instagram sparking hopes she could be the one to thaw frosty relations.
She posted pictures showing her with Brooklyn and her other brothers Romeo and Cruz.
In one Valentine’s Day post she wrote, “I love you all so much, words can’t describe it” — while in another she called them “the best big brothers in the whole wide world”.
Harper’s posts were at first seen only by the 93 followers of her private account — but mum Victoria, 51, then reshared them with her 33.5million followers.

Brooklyn, 26, and Harper are not believed to be in touch, despite him reportedly feeling “protective” over her.
He does not follow her on Instagram and it is unclear if he has blocked her.
Last month Brooklyn posted a statement online blasting his parents and claiming brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, had been “sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me”.
He accused mum Victoria of “hijacking” his wedding day and “embarrassing” him with “inappropriate” dancing.
Harper was not mentioned. It is hoped that she, and other members of the wider family, may be able to ease relations with Brooklyn and his actress wife Nicola Peltz, 31.
Though he seemingly ignored his sister’s messages, sharing only a belated Valentine’s post in tribute to Nicola, in which he vowed to “forever protect and love you”.

The sports agent, 49, shared the photo on social media standing with a suited-and-booted Cruz and Marc Anthony.
The long-time family friend wrote: “Have a great day mate. Love ya Cruzie.”
He was joined by his parents as well as siblings Romeo, 23 and Harper, 14, as well as his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30 and Romeo’s partner, Kim Turnball, 24.
Meanwhile Brooklyn was busy hosting his very own food festival in Miami, Florida.
Proud dad David appeared to take a swipe at Brooklyn as he praised his youngest son Cruz as “fiercely loyal to family” in a birthday tribute.
Proud dad David shared a heartfelt caption for his boy as he began: “Happy 21st birthday to my little boy – not so little anymore but the proudest thing that I am of you is the person and the man that you have become.
Seemingly taking a dig at Brooklyn, he continued: “You are kind, considerate and fiercely loyal to your family, friends and everyone around you which makes you a very special person.”
Picture-posting Dave‘s exes include actressLiv Tyler and former Hollyoaks star Davinia Taylor – who he both shares children with.
Dave met his pal David during his stint at Manchester United Youth Club and the pair have been close from the age of 14.
The footie star was also best man at his wedding in 2003 and made godfather to his son.
Marc previously told The Hollywood Reporter: “They’re a wonderful, wonderful family. I’ve known them since before the kids were born. I’m godfather to Cruz.
“I’m really close to the family. But I have nothing to say about what happened there. It’s extremely unfortunate how it’s playing out — but (how it’s playing out) is hardly the truth.”

THE Beckhams played happy families amid their feud with Brooklyn as their youngest son Cruz celebrated his 21st with a Beatles-themed party.
Victoria, 51, and David, 50, joined their other children Cruz, 21, Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14, on Sunday night for the event – which their estranged eldest son was not invited to.

They forget about their family drama as they posed for a photo, also featuring Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, and Romeo’s partner, DJ Kim Turnbull, 24.
Cruz, who will turn 21 on Friday, hired out the restaurant at The Maine Mayfair in London.
Alongside photos from the event, which included a lavish dinner and concert, mum Posh wrote on Instagram: “Celebrating Cruz early!! We love you so much!!!”
David added: “We love celebrating you Cruzie. A lot of love in the room for you last night.”
The lavish event was dubbed The Grand Beatle Ball and included a performance from the world’s No1 tribute band to the music icons, The Bootleg Beatles.
In videos shared online, Cruz could be seen joining them on stage to perform a guitar solo during a rendition of the 1969 song Something.
The fledgling musician also performed with his band The Breakers. Victoria’s Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton, 50, was among the guests at the party, where his sister Harper gave a speech.
They enjoyed themed cocktails, including one named after his latest single For Your Love, and another named after the 1996 Spice Girls song Wannabe.
Cruz has not spoken to Brooklyn, 26, for months, amid growing family tensions.

He claimed that his brother had blocked him, but in his six-page Instagram statement last month, Brooklyn claimed it was the other way around.
The chef claimed Romeo and Cruz “were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer”.
As his family were celebrating in London, Brooklyn shared a belated Valentine’s Day message on Instagram vowing to always “protect” his wife Nicola Peltz, 31.
In the gushing post, alongside a photo of them kissing, he wrote: “Happy Valentine’s Day baby x
“I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to call you my Valentine’s every year x.
“I love you more than you know and I will forever protect and love you x.”

Brooklyn took to Instagram and posted a black and white image which showed the couple sharing a tender kiss.
Brooklyn was seen shirtless which showed off his tattoos and Nicola was dressed in a crop top and jeans.
He captioned the sweet snap: “Happy Valentine’s Day baby, I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to call you my Valentine’s every year.
“I love you more than you know and I will forever protect and love you.”
In anexclusive interview with The Sunthis week, Gordon revealed that, despite being close mates with David Beckham, he had maintained contact with Brooklyn after his family fallout alongside wife, Nicola Peltz.
Gordon praised his “incredible heart” but warned that his eagerness to “forge his own path” had him in danger of forgetting “where he came from”.
However, within hours of the interview being published, Brooklyn added his former mentor to the list of people he’s now unfollowed on Instagram.
At the time of writing, Gordon is still following Brooklyn, meaning that he’s not been blocked by the 26-year-old.
“It’s a very difficult situation,” he explained. “Victoria is upset, and I know 24/7, seven days a week, just how much David loves Brooklyn.
“Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible – but it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated?
“Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.”
The Beckham family have continued to make small gestures in a bid to reach out to Brooklyn – despite his public six-page statement cutting all ties from the family.
His little sister Harper made a post sending a “Happy Valentines to the best big brothers in the world”, sharing a throwback snap of her as a young child with Brooklyn, as well as brothers Romeo and Cruz.

BROOKLYN Beckham has sent a clear message to Gordon Ramsay after the chef publicly urged him to “remember where he came from” amid his ongoing family row with mum and dad, David and Victoria.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun this week, Gordon revealed that, despite being close mates with David Beckham, he had maintained contact with Brooklyn after his family fallout alongside wife, Nicola Peltz.

Having taken aspiring chef Brooklyn under his wing for a while, Gordon praised his “incredible heart” but warned that his eagerness to “forge his own path” had him in danger of forgetting “where he came from”.
Now, within hours of the interview being published, Brooklyn has added his former mentor to the list of people he’s now unfollowed on Instagram.
At the time of writing, Gordon is still following Brooklyn, meaning that he’s not been blocked by the 26-year-old.
A source told MailOnline: “Brooklyn and Nicola clearly don’t want any criticism at all, they just don’t want to hear any negativity about themselves.
“They must hate being talked about unless it’s gushing. Maybe they don’t like the truth.”
The Beckhams and the Ramsays have had a long-standing relationship and close bond, with Brooklyn growing up alongside Gordon’s son, Jack, who’s also 26.
It’s believed that Gordon is even godparent to 14-year-old Harper Seven, the youngest of the Beckham children. At the least, he was one point in the running.
During our interview with Gordon – who was promoting his upcoming Netflix series Being Gordon Ramsay – he opened up about what was going on inside the Beckham household, and his belief that things at some point will smooth over.
“It’s a very difficult situation,” he explained. “Victoria is upset, and I know 24/7, seven days a week, just how much David loves Brooklyn.
“Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible – but it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated?
“Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.”
“He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do,” he added. “But remember where you came from.
“And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop.
“I just want Brooklyn to take a moment to himself. And remember: you’re half mum, half dad. And you’re an amazing young man.
“But, boy, they’ve done more for you than anyone did in your entire life.”

“Time’s going to be the best healer, and David will absolutely get that relationship back on track,” he added.
The Beckham family have continued to make small gestures in a bid to reach out to Brooklyn – despite his public six-page statement cutting all ties from the family.
Today, little sister Harper made a post sending a “Happy Valentines to the best big brothers in the world”, sharing a throwback snap of her as a young child with Brooklyn, as well as brothers Romeo and Cruz.
Victoria later reposted the photograph on her own Instagram Stories, but Brooklyn has not publicly responded.

GORDON Ramsay has hailed David and Victoria Beckham as fantastic parents — and said time will help Brooklyn heal their heartbreaking family feud.
The Michelin-starred restauranteur, 59, said he loves the aspiring chef, 26, and has been in contact offering support.

I know just how many times they have got Brooklyn out of the s***
Gordon on David and Victoria’s parenting
“I’ve seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible.
“They’ve both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they’ve got Brooklyn out of the s***.
“I think it’s going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.
“He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do.
“But remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that.
“That penny will drop.
“I just want Brooklyn to take a moment to himself. And remember: you’re half mum, half dad. And you’re an amazing young man.
“But, boy, they’ve done more for you than anyone did in your entire life.
‘Time the best healer’
”Time’s going to be the best healer, and David will absolutely get that relationship back on track.”
The chef, who has almost 20million followers, has backed Brooklyn’s cooking endeavours where others were quick to mock.
Meanwhile, Posh and Becks and Gordon and Tana have been pals for nearly 2½ decades.
Of course, Gordon knows about family feuds in the wake of his recent troubles with new son-in-law Adam Peaty’s clan.
He and Tana also went through hell when her dad, Chris Hutcheson, was jailed for six months in 2017 for hacking company computers.
Gordon says: “Tana and I sat them down, and we buried the hatchet with her parents. It’s family, it’s what you do.”
In his damning statement last month, Brooklyn accused his mum of “dancing inappropriately” on him at his wedding.
His friends allege that she “grinded” on the groom. She has since become victim to hundreds of mocking memes.
However unnamed “friends” of the Beckhams hit back at the allegations. Over to Gordon, then, to set the record straight.

He says: “There was nothing salacious. There was nothing inappropriate. Everyone was having fun, having a dance.”
But, Gordon, DID SHE GRIND?
He says: “No! Nothing of the sort. It was fun. I haven’t seen any of the memes, I heard about them of course, but Victoria’s got a great sense of humour.
“She’s great. She’s right to be upset (about the wedding) but she can bat that other s*** away in a heartbeat.
“Victoria and Tana have spoken a lot, they are probably closer than ever – they’re like two peas in a pod, those two.”
When Gordon isn’t playing ace therapist/mediator, he’s been pretty busy on his own terms.
On Wednesday his new six-part Netflix documentary Being Gordon Ramsay airs, detailing his efforts to launch his latest ambitious project.
Britain’s highest eaterie, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High is on the 60th floor of skyscraper 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London.
I never ever watch myself on telly because it’s just incredibly nerve-wracking.
Gordon Ramsay
The intimate 12-seater chef’s table experience has already earned him another Michelin star.
I’ve seen the show, and it’s brilliant, giving a fly-on-the-wall look into Gordon’s frenetic and fabulous home life – he and Tana have six kids – as well as the hell of getting a new business off the ground.
He smiles: “I won’t watch it. I never ever watch myself on telly because it’s just incredibly nerve-wracking.
“When you’ve done it and lived it, the last thing you want to do is sit there with lots of popcorn. There’s a level of embarrassment.”
‘Getting softer with age’
Even without Gordon’s viewership, it is sure to be another Netflix smash. Contrary to his bravado, away from the kitchen, and whisper it, but Gordon is a bit of a pussycat, and definitely “getting softer with age”.
He regularly cries, he admits.
He turns 60 in November but in the doc we see super-fit Gordon running outdoors with his young son, Oscar, in the gym and pumping weights. He is ripped.
Wife Tana also recently smashed a Half Ironman in Greece, breezily qualifying for the World Championships in the process. They are a truly impressive power duo, and very clearly still massively in love.
HEARTACHE OVER BROTHER’S LECCY PLEA
WHILE Gordon’s father was an alcoholic who died from a heart attack aged 53, his younger brother Ronnie is, tragically, a heroin addict.
Having gone for long swathes of time not speaking, Gordon reveals the pair had a reconciliation of sorts on the phone last week.
Becoming visibly emotional, he recalls: “It was just sad because at the end of that call he said, ‘Did I hear you ask for my bank details? I’ve got no electricity’.
“And so I said, ‘Come on, Ronnie, you know damn well if I knew that was going on electricity, I would. But I know full well that’s going to go on drugs. And it pains me, it kills me, mate.’
“We’ve been down this road so many times.”
Having trained under Marco Pierre White at the age of 35 Gordon set up his first restaurant, winning three Michelin stars shortly after. He now has eateries across the globe, and is arguably the planet’s most famous chef.
His work ethic is relentless – possibly a result of his humble upbringing. In one episode, Gordon gets emotional recalling his own childhood struggles, growing up on a council estate near Glasgow, and relying on school vouchers to eat.
Today, he has teamed up with a fantastic charity, Feeding Britain, to provide 800,000 kids in poverty with affordable food. Gordon has quietly donated “very heavily” to it.
He recalls: “I was hungry all the time, there was no food in the house.

“I was sometimes too embarrassed to use my vouchers to get my free shepherd’s pie in case, you know, aged 15 or 16, a girl I fancied saw me. I was a skinny f***ng bean.
I remember eating toothpaste thinking that was delicious because there were multiple nights where we never ate. It is appalling that we’re in this situation now.”
Meanwhile, Gordon has been a rock for 26-year-old daughter Holly’s new husband, Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.
Last weekend Gordon said he’d treated the Peaty family “like royalty”, prompting a furious robust from Adam’s estranged mum, Caroline, who was not invited to his and Holly’s December wedding.
She labelled the Ramsays “bullies”. ”I am certainly not a bully, and it is so appalling to even suggest there was any bullying,” he sighs.
“That’s absolute nonsense. It was sad to see that barrage of negativity that was self-propelled by them.
“But Adam is an incredible young lad and he and Holly are a wonderful, happy, young couple.”
So, would Gordon fancy being a grandad?
He says: “Jesus Christ. They’re still on their f***ing honeymoon!
“But I do laugh sometimes when I’m in the park with [two-year-old son] Jesse.
“I was taking him to a football match last Saturday, and then this lady said, ‘Oh, it must be so nice to have the grandkids at the weekend!’
“And I’m like, ‘Are you f***ing serious woman? Grandkids?! That’s my son!’”
Being Gordon Ramsay is available on Netflix from Wednesday.
60th WILL BE ADELE OF A PARTY
THE very sweary superstar — I counted 27 f***s in the new documentary’s first episode – hopes superstar singer Adele will bring birthday cheer on his 60th in November.
Obviously, for a man not feted for his thriftiness, there will be a huge party, also celebrating his 30th anniversary with Tana.
“We are hoping Adele will sing,” he grins. “Tana loves Adele and I saw her in Vegas when she was playing the Colosseum, and she was a customer of ours in Chelsea.
“She is an incredibly gracious, talented woman, and a real foodie. She loves that kind of fine dining style.”
GORDON Ramsay has insisted that good friend David Beckham WILL end the ongoing feud with son Brooklyn.
The star has been in contact with the aspiring chef, offering messages of support and encouraging the 26-year-old to heal the heartbreaking rift.

“But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated. Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that roller coaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.
“I’ve seen first hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible. They have both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they have got Brooklyn out of the s***.”
Gordon continued: “I think it’s going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.

While Brooklyn has blocked many of his family members on Instagram, he and Gordon still follow one another.
The chef, who has almost 20mn followers, has helped the youngster, and publicly backed his cooking endeavours where others were quick to mock.
Friends for almost two and a half decades, meanwhile, Posh and Becks, and Gordon and Tana have been there, through thick and thin, for one another.
BROOKLYN Beckham has shown that he still has his tattoo tributes to his brothers despite covering up his inking to his mum and dad.
The 26-year-old is yet to remove his inking to his brothers despite them losing touch amid the bitter family feud.

In new snaps, Brooklyn can still be seen sporting his famous “Brotherhood” inking on his leg which he got in honour of both Cruz and Romeo.
When he was pictured out and about in LA with wife Nicola, the tattoo was on full display – proving he is yet to make any permanent alteration to the inking.
It could spell a slight sense of hope of a potential reconciliation between the brothers despite Brooklyn claiming he did not want to reunite with his family members.
One telling sign is that Brooklyn has already opted to cover up the tributes to David and Victoria in his clearest sign yet that he is not letting the feud go.
Sending a defiant message, he opted to have the word “family” tattooed onto his neck despite the blistering feud.
He already has a tattoo of a cross with angel wings on the back of his neck in honour of his dad’s famous body art in the same place.
But now penned above the cross in cursive lettering is one distinct word: ‘family’.
His inking comes days after it was first revealed that Brooklyn had covered up his own tribute to his parents.

AS the ugly aftermath of his Instagram tirade against his family rumbles on, Brooklyn Beckham’s one-time pals appear to have become unwitting contestants in a real-life game of The Traitors.
Having already severed ties with his parents, David and Victoria, the A-list nepobaby is now ruthlessly banishing his inner circle, with insiders revealing how “incredibly close” friends have been blindsided by his “bizarre” and brutal behaviour.

His brother Romeo this weekend unveiled a new tattoo that reads “Family” — leaving no doubt where his loyalties lie.
And as divisions grow between the wannabe chef and his famous family, he and Nicola, 31, appear to be weeding out any “traitorous” friends who have slighted them — or picked the wrong side in the feud.
The Sun can reveal that the latest famous face to be cut adrift is Brooklyn’s former classmate Anais Gallagher, the daughter of Oasis star Noel and Meg Mathews.
Just days after David’s oldest son released a bombshell Instagram statement — in which he vowed never to reconcile with his “controlling” family who only care about “Brand Beckham” — 26-year-old influencer Anais was stunned to discover she had been blocked online.
Having attended sixth form with Brooklyn — at the exclusive, £12,000-per-term Fine Arts College in Belsize Park, North West London — the pair were part of the same close-knit group of friends which also included Rocco.
‘I find this book offensive’
As the children of two of Britain’s most famous couples, they quickly hit it off and became thick as thieves with a flirty on/off relationship.
Our insider said: “They grew incredibly close while they were at school and there was always a lot of flirting between them.
“It was never anything with a label but they were certainly more than friends.
“Victoria, it’s fair to say, wasn’t 100 per cent enthralled with their closeness — in her eyes the Gallaghers don’t have quite the same reputation as the Beckhams.
“Anais and Brooklyn stayed close for quite a while after — she even went to his wedding to Nicola — and Anais assumed they were still on good terms even though their lives have taken different paths.
“She was really blindsided when she realised that he had blocked her.
“Anais is pretty sure it’s because he’s worried she’s going to spill the beans about what went on. But that’s not her style.”
Brooklyn’s feelings towards Anais might have started to change in 2022, shortly after his lavish $3million oceanfront wedding to billionaire’s daughter Nicola.
Anais attended the bash, but that same year she slammed Brooklyn’s photography book, What I See, despite attending its launch event.
His photography attempts were widely mocked — and his pal said: “I genuinely find this book offensive.”

It first became clear that Brooklyn was having a social clear-out when none of his former friends or family came to see him renew vows with Nicola last August at her family’s 130-acre estate in New York state.
Brooklyn was close to a string of nepo-babies in London, including Jack and Holly Ramsay.
During his schooldays, he was often snapped skating or hanging out with pals alongside Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s son Rocco — who at the time was dating Kim Turnbull, now the girlfriend of Brooklyn’s sibling Romeo.
Madonna was said to be very pleased about Brooklyn’s influence on her son, but it’s not known if Victoria felt the same way.
Rocco was at Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish wedding in 2022 — but he was absent when they renewed their vows, raising questions about whether the friends who the Beckhams’ eldest child grew up with supported his relationship.

An insider explained: “There has clearly been a real shutdown. Brooklyn has no contact with mates from his former life in the UK. It’s like the marriage to Nicola meant he started a whole new life with new people around him.
“It’s sad but people have sensed a shift in his life and priorities.
“And being aligned with someone who is feuding with his parents so publicly is a bad look.”
Brooklyn once spoke highly of Rocco and Jack, saying in 2017: “I’ve changed schools quite a few times but I have some close friends that have known me since I was very young. I have a handful of really close friends, but in particular I’d say Jack Ramsay and Rocco Ritchie.”
And as his time with Rocco came to an end, so did his friendship with DJ Kim Turnbull, who he was once romantically linked to.
Her relationship with his brother Romeo hasn’t helped the situation — and insiders say their dating made it clear to him whose side she was on.

And Brooklyn’s friendship with Jack is now said to be non-existent. He no longer speaks to Gordon and Tana’s eldest son, who is in the Marines.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn is believed to have declined an invitation to attend Holly’s wedding to Adam Peaty at the end of last year.
Tellingly, his parents and siblings were all in attendance, including brothers Cruz and Romeo.
It’s been more than five years since Brooklyn has been seen with anyone from his old London life.
His Instagram is now full of pictures with just Nicola or her family who appear to have become their closest confidants.
But it is not only his pals who have been cast aside. Up until last year, American actress and pop star Selena Gomez was a permanent fixture in the Peltz-Beckhams’ lives, joking they were all so close it was like a throuple.

Now the trio are no longer speaking — with sources telling The Sun that Selena was left feeling betrayed after best pal Nicola unceremoniously dumped her.
‘Victoria didn’t like me’
Despite numerous photos together over the past few years — including girls’ night sleepovers, and gushing birthday tributes — Brooklyn and Nicola were not in attendance at Selena’s fairytale wedding to Benny Blanco in September.
While it was claimed Nicola and Brooklyn were unable to attend due to a busy work schedule, questions have been raised about why they refused to move things around for someone who was once so close in their lives.
Nicola is certainly no stranger to shutting people out. Before she started dating Brooklyn in 2019, she had a year-long relationship with Anwar Hadid — brother of models Bella and Gigi — but the romance is now tinged with ill-feeling.
Nicola was 22 and Anwar was 17 at the time, and there were rumours that he grew distant from his family during the relationship. Nicola unfollowed the whole family on social media after they split.
Now, as tensions with Brooklyn’s parents reach an all-time high, their social circle certainly seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
He suffered from anxiety. Brooklyn felt as though the world was constantly waiting for him to muck up
Afton McKeith
So who is still on their side? Despite spilling the beans on their time with Brooklyn recently, former flames Tallia Storm and Afton McKeith appear to have proved their loyalty.
Afton, who dated Brooklyn when they were 17, and Tallia, who was linked to him in 2016, were quick to speak out about their experiences — in particular with Victoria — in support of Brooklyn.
Singer Tallia recalled the time the pair were meant to attend a charity gala, which was hosted by Victoria’s close pal, the actress Eva Longoria.
She explained: “I was meant to sit next to Brooklyn.
“We were all super excited — and then he messaged me on the night itself, when I was already inside, saying, ‘My mum won’t let me come, I’m sorry.’ And that was that. Obviously, Victoria didn’t like me or whatever.”
Afton, the daughter of I’m a Celeb star Gillian McKeith, grew up alongside Brooklyn in West London — and gave a scathing review of David and Victoria’s parenting.
If you’ve ever crossed him, he won’t forget — and as the war with his parents drags on, he’s taking note on who has his back and who clearly doesn’t

She said: “He suffered from anxiety. Brooklyn felt as though the world was constantly waiting for him to muck up.
“I now feel his parents could have protected him more and considered the impact of the public Brand Beckham.”
At least Brooklyn and Nicola also appear to have two high-profile champions in their camp, with The Sun last year revealing how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were secretly supporting the couple and even had them round for dinner.
Closer to home, Brooklyn seems to have reserved an olive branch for little sister Harper — the only sibling he has reached out to since the estrangement — after wishing her a happy birthday in July.
Unfortunately for Anais, building bridges may be harder.
Our insider added: “Brooklyn has the memory of an elephant, just like the infamous, blurry image of one he snapped in Kenya for his photography book.
“If you’ve ever crossed him, he won’t forget — and as the war with his parents drags on, he’s taking note on who has his back and who clearly doesn’t.”
Anyone planning a Traitorous move on Brooklyn or Nicola better watch out — they won’t be returning breakfast in the morning.
VICTORIA Beckham’s £104 foundation has sold out in the two weeks since son Brooklyn disowned her — as fans throw their support behind the ex-Spice Girl.
It is now the most successful product in her beauty range — and means she stands to make her greatest turnover this year.

The Foundation Drops have sold out in several shades, with the waiting list the longest since she launched her range in 2019.
Currently one of her satin kajal eyeliners sells every 30 seconds.
But the foundation is on track to sell every 20 seconds once stocks are replenished.
January, traditionally the quietest month in the online beauty world, has been Victoria’s busiest to date as fans launched a viral campaign to promote her products.
A source said: “Personally it may well have been one of the worst months of Victoria’s life but professionally, these past four weeks have been astonishing.

“Not only did fans get her to number one, TikTok then went into overdrive reviewing her foundation. It got rave reviews, with make-up artists and beauty enthusiasts waxing lyrical.
“Having already sold well in the build-up to Christmas, in the wake of Brooklyn’s bombshell statement, it has had a second surge online.
“As a result, there are now enormous waiting lists and it has become her biggest ever selling hero product.”
Victoria’s most recent Companies House reports showed a 26 per cent revenue increase year on year, with turnover of almost £113million.
THE Brooklyn family drama seems to have spilled over into another famous clan.
Brooklyn Beckham made headlines last month with a bombshell statement saying he would never reconcile with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.

They had grown apart in recent years, but Anaïs did attend Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 nuptials.
However, earlier that same year she slammed his photography book, What I See, despite attending its launch event in 2017.
She posted, “I genuinely find this book offensive,” under a TikTok mocking Brooklyn’s What I See photography book, but it is not known if she meant the comment in jest.
Even though she was at their wedding in 2022, she was not in attendance when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows last year.
Brooklyn explained why they renewed their vows in his scathing statement against his family.
“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,” he wrote.
In new snaps shared to Brooklyn’s Instagram, the couple could be seen sitting on a chair together kissing in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window with the Los Angeles skyline behind them.
He captioned one black and white snap “My girl x”, while a colour shot saw them sitting with their limbs entwined on the chair as they both wore shades indoors.

Last week the youngest Beckham brother Cruz took to hisTikTokto 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.”
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.

“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.”
NICOLA Peltz gets a staggering $1 million-a-month allowance from her billionaire father, according to new claims.

Peltz family patriarch Nelson, 83, has a net worth of $1.6 billion while David, 50, and 51-year-old Victoria’s combined is thought to be around half of that.
Journalist Marina Hyde said on The Rest is Entertainment podcast: “From what I hear I think the Beckhams give Brooklyn a lot of money but not insane money and they have this dream to some degree that he will stand on his own two feet and become independent.
“Maybe Nelson Peltz would deny this but I hear that he said to them, ‘I give my daughter a million dollar a month allowance’.
“The one thing they [the Beckhams] didn’t think their children would be doing would be the ones signing the prenuptial, they thought it would be the other way round.”
A source told us at the time: “Certainly, in the case of the Beckhams vs Peltzes, it’s proven… tricksy. David and Victoria are two working-class kids done good.
“They have grafted hard for their money and understand that with privilege comes responsibility.
“On principle, they will not needlessly spoil their kids and have taught them the value of both industry and money. They’re like Gordon and Tana Ramsay in that regard.
“So, when it came to buying this house, of course they weren’t just going to hand their son millions of pounds — what sort of message does that send?
“Nelson Peltz, on the other hand, is a billionaire investor and he and his wife Claudia regard Nicola, their little girl, as the apple of their eye.
“Understandably, they want to indulge her and ensure she never struggles — they expected the Beckhams, worth half a billion themselves, might match them penny for penny. Or, at least, chip in with financials as and when.
“That hasn’t always happened, so they are annoyed and telling people it’s a bit tight.”
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.

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.”
