Brooklyn Beckham is ‘struggling’ to stay close to sister Harper, 14, after blocking his parents and brothers on social media amid family feud

Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly ‘struggling’ to stay close to his sister Harper in the wake of his feud with his parents, which has seen him block them on social media.

The influencer, 26, has dramatically blocked his entire family from Instagram, the latest development in a simmering feud that has resulted in his absence from all significant family events over the course of the year. 

However, sources are now claiming that Brooklyn’s view towards his little sister is ‘very different’ to that of his parents, and it’s understood he wants to try and shield her from the family fall-out.

The insider added that the ‘fundamental logistics of his little sister living under the same roof as his parents…. makes things very hard, contact-wise,’ and he is doing his best ‘not to strain family relationships’ beyond that with his parents.

The Daily Mail previously revealed that relations between the Beckhams broke down so completely last summer that at one point, Brooklyn asked his parents to contact him only via their respective lawyers, Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis. 

A source said: ‘This is why he is still talking to his grandparents for instance and has been from the beginning of all this.’

They went on to tell The Mirror: ‘But he doesn’t want to bring anybody else into this. But it’s hard for obvious reasons to maintain a proper relationship with all his family at present.’

Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Brooklyn Beckham for comment. 

On Saturday, Daily Mail revealed that Brooklyn is hoping to one day get back in touch with his parents.

However, a source exclusively told Katie Hind that it’s his wife Nicola Peltz who is still ‘obsessed’ with driving the rift. You can read our full report here.

Late last year it was revealed that Brooklyn had sensationally decided to block his parents, with even Harper removed – just three months after launching her own Instagram account. 

Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz previously confirmed that Brooklyn had blocked his entire family on social media following reports they had unfollowed him.

The Daily Mail then shared that when Brooklyn blocked his family on social media last month, it was due to Victoria ‘liking’ the last cooking video he’d shared on Instagram, defying her son’s legal request.

A source said: ‘The fact is that Victoria did send out a ‘like’. She misses him every hour of every day.

‘Getting the lawyers involved only dials up the conflict and has meant that it has got out of control. This is horrible – they are a family. These are real people. It’s not a business dispute.’

Last week, the Daily Mail revealed that Brooklyn instructed his parents to only speak to him through lawyers.

He said he didn’t want his parents to contact him, or make public statements about him on social media.

It has since been reported that the letter was intended to protect his mental health, as online posts from David and Victoria in which he was tagged or mentioned had affected him. 

One source also told the Mail: ‘David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.’

It’s understood that Brooklyn doesn’t want his parents to contact him directly, or make public statements about him on social media.

There was no legal action between them – and no legal basis for the letter, which was simply a request. 

It followed what Brooklyn considered to be a series of ‘nasty’ briefings about his wife Nicola, including the suggestion that he was a ‘hostage’ being ‘controlled’ by his wife.

This week, publicists and friends on both sides refused to discuss the matter, still hoping that things will calm down and be resolved.

However one source said: ‘David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.’

The ‘talk to my lawyers’ move might explain why Brooklyn opted to block his parents – and siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper – on social media just before Christmas.

The family had been viewing and liking his cooking posts. And it was felt this was contrary to Brooklyn’s wish they would leave him and his wife alone.
