Victoria Beckham Reportedly Devastated As Rift With Son Brooklyn Deepens
According to sources close to the Beckham family, Victoria has been deeply affected by a continuing family rift that has allegedly driven a wedge between her eldest son, Brooklyn, and the rest of the Beckham clan.
The tension, which reportedly places Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, at odds with other family members, has left Victoria caught in the middle.
Insiders say the 51-year-old designer is especially heartbroken given how much effort she and her husband, David Beckham, put into repairing their relationship with Peltz after initial tensions surfaced before the couple’s 2022 wedding.
“This is Victoria’s worst nightmare,” a source told The Sun. “The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.”

They added: “It’s been difficult with Brooklyn since he met Nicola, and there’s no denying that there was a family fallout over their wedding. But Victoria and David have worked hard to get things back on track, so this is a real blow.”

Family Tensions Overshadow David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Festivities

David’s recent milestone 50th birthday was also reportedly overshadowed by the family rift.
Despite several celebrations held in the former footballer’s honor over the past week, Brooklyn and Peltz were noticeably absent from every major event.
Their absence raised eyebrows, particularly as the rest of the family, including Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, gathered to mark the occasion in the UK and France.
The couple was nowhere to be seen at David’s birthday dinner at the upscale Core restaurant in Notting Hill over the weekend, missed the family’s quick celebratory trip to France on Friday, and were also absent from a larger gathering at the Beckhams’ £10 million Cotswolds estate earlier in the week, which included extended family.

The family drama has also seen Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, reportedly dragged into the fallout, with some pointing fingers in her direction, speculating that she once dated Brooklyn.
However, insiders have denied those claims, stating the two were simply friendly during a brief period when they were often seen together.

Family Frustrated As Romeo Beckham’s Girlfriend Gets Dragged Into The Rift Rumors

The growing narrative that Turnbull is somehow responsible for the Beckham family’s internal tensions has reportedly upset both David and Victoria.
Insiders close to the family say the suggestion is not only false but hurtful, particularly as attention turns away from the real source of conflict.
Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz, 20, also recently stepped in to shut down rumors head-on.
Responding to a comment on Instagram questioning whether Romeo was dating his brother’s ex, Cruz quickly clarified: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

A family friend also dismissed the speculation, telling the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind, “This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola. All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time.”
Some within the Beckham circle believe that people close to Peltz may be responsible for spreading stories that place the blame on Turnbull for the ongoing tension.
One particularly pointed rumor even suggested Brooklyn had declared he wouldn’t attend any event where Kim was present.

Insiders Claim Nicola Peltz Starts An Argument Before A Family Event To Keep Brooklyn Away

According to insiders close to the Beckham family, there’s growing unease over what they describe as a recurring pattern involving Peltz, where she allegedly initiates “an argument” ahead of major family gatherings, often resulting in Brooklyn skipping the events entirely.
One source told the Daily Mail that the tension being blamed on Turnbull is misplaced, stating: “Brooklyn was close to Kim because she was dating Rocco and they all hung out in a tight-knit friendship group. But that was years ago. Brooklyn and Kim were close, but there was never any romance.”
The source continued, “It seems Nicola doesn’t like Brooklyn spending any time with the Beckhams full stop and is using his previous closeness to Kim and her getting in with the family as a reason to not be around them. She denies it, but Nicola has been controlling him since the wedding. The family – including the brothers – have had enough of it.”
