“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham has said in a statement addressing his strained relationship with his parents.
Peltz-Beckham, the eldest child of Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria Beckham, accused his parents of trying to “endlessly ruin” his relationship before and after his wedding to Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one,” he said on Instagram on Monday.
Speculation has been circulating for months about the state of Brooklyn’s relationship with his parents. The BBC has reached out to Sir David’s and Lady Beckham’s representatives for comment.
The 26-year-old said he had been subject to “endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders”.
He accused his fashion designer mother of derailing his wedding in 2022, including cancelling 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”.
Reports emerged at the time that Nicola, 31, had refused to wear one of Lady Beckham’s designs.
She later told the Times that Lady Victoria had realised her atelier could not finish it in time, denying claims of a rift.
