Before Brooklyn Beckham’s marriage to Nicola Peltz, the oldest of the Beckham kids had dated some recognizable names. And with Brooklyn taking to Instagram to air out his grievances against his parents, including accusing them of trying to break up his relationship with his wife, there’s a renewed interest in his dating life and who, perhaps, his parents would have preferred for him.
One of those big names is actress Chloe Grace Moretz. But why did Brooklyn Beckham and Moretz break up? How long did they date? Here’s everything we know.

Beckham’s most high-profile relationship was with Chloë Grace Moretz, better known for Kick Ass, Carrie, and Let Me In. The two dated between 2014 and 2018, with the relationship starting when she was 17 and he was 15. Mortez has spoken about the relationship before, and most of what she’s said has been positive—including what she’s had to say about Victoria Beckham.
In 2014, speaking to Andy Cohen about Victoria, she said, “She’s an amazing person. I really admire her work ethic and I love her line. I think that as a family, they’re awesome people.”
She also spoke about how much the family gets the Hollywood life. “[The Beckhams] understand the travel, the sex scenes with random people, the crazy schedules.”
There was also some praise for David Beckham, calling him “a great dad, [Victoria’s] a great mother. They genuinely are very good parents. That’s what matters most’.
But Mortez also spoke in 2016 about how dating Brooklyn was complicated at times. “It creates a mass frenzy and they follow you in separate cars so you can’t just run around and share little silly and cute moments.”
She also told Australian magazine Stellar that she struggled after the pair broke up in 2016. “I went through a hard year and I’m not going to hide that,” she said. “I had to deal with this new level of fame while I was growing up, I was getting out of a relationship and all of it was very public. I wanted to hide.”
Moretz and Beckham broke up for good in 2018, and Mortez came out as a “gay woman” in 2024. She is now married to Kate Harrison.
Brooklyn Beckham recently talked about his family on Instagram Stories, writing, “I do not want to reconcile with my family,” and adding, “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.”
He also said, “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family [with] performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships. … Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”
And as for his relationship with Peltz, he accused his family of “trying endlessly to ruin [his] relationship” with wife Nicola Peltz, saying that his family “value public promotion and endorsements above all else” because “brand Beckham comes first,” and explaining that, “Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.”
