David Beckham has refused to answer questions about his family’s apparent rift with eldest son Brooklyn, describing the feud as “a private matter”.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

The Beckhams have yet to comment directly on Brooklyn’s 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 “vicious” media coverage of “strife” in the Beckham family, the former England captain said the subject was “the one thing that I don’t want to talk about”.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter,” he said.<\/p>\n

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

“That’s our priority, and that’s what makes it work when you’ve been together for so long,” he added. “Our priority will always be our family.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Beckham has refused to answer questions about his family’s apparent rift with eldest son Brooklyn, describing the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[38641,98,3247,100,99,6716,9,24,38631,63],"class_list":["post-265452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-beckham-family","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-beckham","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-david-beckham","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nicola-peltz-beckham","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265452","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=265452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
