Allegations Against ‘Brand Beckham’

At the centre of Brooklyn’s claims is what he referred to as “Brand Beckham,” which he alleged prioritised public image and media narratives over genuine personal relationships. “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,” Brooklyn wrote. “The performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.” He added that stepping away from the family’s public environment has significantly improved his mental well-being, claiming the “overwhelming anxiety” he carried for years has since disappeared.

Wedding Claims and Alleged Conflicts

Brooklyn stated that tensions escalated around his 2022 wedding to actor Nicola Peltz in Palm Beach. According to his posts, the wedding became a turning point that led to a permanent rift. He alleged that weeks before the ceremony, his parents pressured and “attempted to bribe” him to sign away rights to his name, which he said could have impacted his future children. Brooklyn also supported Nicola’s long-standing claim that Victoria Beckham cancelled the production of her custom wedding gown at the “eleventh hour,” forcing the bride to find an alternative outfit close to the wedding date. In another allegation, Brooklyn claimed that Victoria “hijacked” his planned first dance with Nicola by dancing “inappropriately” with him in front of guests, leaving him feeling “humiliated.” WATCH: Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Tie the Knot in Palm Beach, Florida - Latest Tweet by Reuters.

Claims of Exclusion During 2025 Family Events

Brooklyn further referenced events from late 2025 that he said deepened the divide. He noted that David Beckham’s New Year’s Eve social media post highlighting moments from 2025, including his 50th birthday and knighthood did not include him. Brooklyn claimed that he and Nicola had travelled to London for David’s birthday in May 2025 but were allegedly “rejected for a week” in their hotel. He said David initially refused to meet them unless it was at a public party surrounded by cameras and later agreed to a meeting only if Nicola was not present. Brooklyn Beckham Ties Knot With Nicola Peltz in Miami; Check Out Viral Pics From Their Wedding Ceremony!

Brooklyn Blocks Beckham Family

Reports emerged in December 2025 that Brooklyn had blocked his parents and siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper on social media. His brother Cruz later confirmed the development, stating that the family “woke up blocked.” As of now, David and Victoria Beckham have not issued a formal response to Brooklyn’s claims. Concluding his posts, Brooklyn said he and Nicola want a life away from public image pressures. “My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation,” he wrote. “All we want is peace, privacy, and happiness for us and our future family.” The statements have sparked widespread discussion online, with fans and media closely watching whether the Beckham family will publicly respond.
