Recently, their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, allegedly asked his parents to contact him solely through his lawyers. This came in the wake of social media posts from his parents tagging him around Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Featured Video<\/p>\n<p>Now, the rift appears to have spilled onto social media. Just before Christmas, Victoria and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/tags\/david-beckham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">David Beckham<\/a> tagged Brooklyn in Instagram posts and \u201cliked\u201d videos of him cooking. However, sources said the couple found these public interactions upsetting. <\/p>\n<p>Instead of reacting publicly, brother Cruz alleged via his Instagram stories that Brooklyn blocked his parents and himself on social media.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"943\" height=\"1651\" alt=\"In Body Image\" class=\"wp-image-2004973\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/brooklyn-beckham-blocked-parents-siblings-1.jpeg\"  loading=\"lazy\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cruzbeckham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">@cruzbeckham\/Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  Brooklyn Beckham\u2019s latest legal letter demands<\/p>\n<p>According to anonymous sources, Brooklyn reacted to what he viewed as \u201cnasty\u201d statements about Nicola. Those statements allegedly described him as a \u201chostage\u201d being \u201ccontrolled\u201d by his wife.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-15447271\/Brooklyn-Beckham-warned-parents-David-Victoria-contact-lawyers-height-family-feud.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the Daily Mail<\/a>, an anonymous source told the publication, \u201cDavid was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exchange allegedly occurred between Schillings, representing Brooklyn, and Harbottle &amp; Lewis, acting for his parents. Brooklyn asked that his parents stop contacting him directly and refrain from making social media statements about him. While the letter carried no legal force, it came after months of supposed tension.<\/p>\n<p>Folks on Brooklyn\u2019s side of the feud believed a sincere apology could reset relations.

[\u2026] Brooklyn is navigating this soul-crushing family feud as best he can, but it isn\u2019t easy on anyone. Nicola remains his absolute rock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Background on the Beckham family feud<\/p>\n<p>While we\u2019ll never know what exactly sparked the bad blood, the alleged feud stretches back nearly four years. Brooklyn married wife Nicola Peltz Beckham in April 2022, and news of the fallout surfaced two months later. <\/p>\n<p>Tensions allegedly flared when Victoria Beckham\u2019s studio wasn\u2019t able to make Nicola\u2019s wedding dress, despite promising to do so. <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/digital\/features\/brooklyn-peltz-beckham-cook-instagram-food-1235336663\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Nicola told Variety<\/a> at the time, \u201cShe didn\u2019t say you can\u2019t wear it; I didn\u2019t say I didn\u2019t want to wear it. That\u2019s where it started, and then [the press] ran with that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then, on the wedding day, singer Marc Anthony called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/tags\/victoria-beckham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Victoria <\/a>\u201cthe most beautiful woman in the room,\u201d rather than the bride.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn\u2019t understand was why,\u201d one source told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/entertainment\/celebrity-life\/celebrity-kids\/victoria-beckham-ruined-sons-wedding-with-wild-move\/news-story\/33dc0caadd9810ff2421a4cf21153b01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">news.com.au<\/a>. \u201cIt was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock \u2014 you could hear a pin drop. It wasn\u2019t appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both sides attempted private reconciliation, although Brooklyn and Nicola <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-15447271\/Brooklyn-Beckham-warned-parents-David-Victoria-contact-lawyers-height-family-feud.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">reportedly skipped<\/a> David Beckham\u2019s 50th birthday parties last summer. Later, Brooklyn did not publicly congratulate his father on his knighthood.<\/p>\n<p>The internet is chaotic\u2014but we\u2019ll break it down for you in one daily email.
