Brooklyn Beckham unfollows family friend Gordon Ramsay after chef sent him warning amid bitter family feud
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.
Earlier this week Cruz also reached out to Brooklyn, with a throwback of the three brothers as children, something he also ignored.
