David Beckham has refused to answer questions about his family\u2019s apparent rift with eldest son Brooklyn, describing the feud as \u201ca private matter\u201d.<\/p>\n

In January, 27-year-old Brooklyn made headlines when he released a lengthy statement on Instagram, accusing David and Victoria of \u201ctrying endlessly\u201d to \u201cruin\u201d his relationship with his wife, the actor and heiress Nicola Peltz Beckham. <\/p>\n

He claimed that his parents have \u201ccontrolled narratives in the press about our family\u201d and said that \u201cperformative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into\u201d. <\/p>\n

He went on to state that he does not \u201cwant to reconcile with my family\u201d and said that he was \u201cstanding up for myself for the first time in my life\u201d. <\/p>\n

The Beckhams have yet to comment directly on Brooklyn\u2019s remarks, and footballing icon David continued to avoid questions about the relationship rupture when he was interviewed before receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Variety <\/a>asked him about the \u201cvicious\u201d media coverage of \u201cstrife\u201d in the Beckham family, the former England captain said the subject was \u201cthe one thing that I don\u2019t want to talk about\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I\u2019m sorry to stop you there, but that\u2019s a private matter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In the interview, David made a point to hail his \u201cfour incredible kids\u201d, referring to Brooklyn, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21 and Harper, 14, and said that \u201cfamily always comes first\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s our priority, and that\u2019s what makes it work when you\u2019ve been together for so long,\u201d he added. \u201cOur priority will always be our family.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-265427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
