Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, is breaking his silence about his relationship with his parents.
The 26-year-old wrote in a string of lengthy Instagram Stories on Monday, Jan. 19, that he does "not want to reconcile with my family." He went on to say he has "been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," adding that "my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed."
"I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life," Beckham added, alluding to speculation that he's estranged from his family because of his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.
In his Monday remarks, Brooklyn wrote that "my parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped."

Brooklyn and Nicola married in 2022 and renewed their vows in August 2025. Brooklyn's parents attended the wedding but weren't present for the vow renewal.

Around the time of his wedding, reports surfaced that the relationship between Brooklyn's soon-to-be wife and the mother of the groom was strained.
Now, Brooklyn is addressing the rumors. "My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress," he wrote.

1 / 17Victoria Beckham's iconic style from Spice Girls to fashion designer
Victoria has a pensive moment during a Major League Soccer (MLS) Cup Eastern Conference football match in Fort Lauderdale, Fla, on Oct. 25, 2024.
Brooklyn, who also took Peltz's name when he married her, added, "Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since."
"During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me 'evil' because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands," he wrote. "Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours."

His speaking out follows speculation surrounding turmoil in the Beckham family.
In December, Brooklyn's brother, Cruz Beckham, took to Instagram to clear the air about a Daily Mail report that his older brother had been blocked by his parents. The tabloid wrote the headline: "David and Victoria Beckham UNFOLLOW estranged son Brooklyn, 26, as it's revealed he'll spend Christmas with wife Nicole Peltz's billionaire parents amid family feud."
Cruz, however, posted it was "not true" and that Brooklyn had been the one to block his parents, including his siblings.

On Monday, Brooklyn wrote that for his "entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family," calling their social media posts and family events "performative," and noting that "inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into."
"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. But I believe the truth always comes out," he added.
