The years of family drama between Brooklyn Beckham and his estranged parents, David and Victoria Beckham, have escalated to a breaking point, and the 26-year-old no longer wants a relationship with them. The couple allegedly tried to manipulate Brooklyn's decision to marry the heiress to the wealthy Peltz family, even allegedly bribing him to sign his rights away, right before the wedding.
Brooklyn reveals that the Beckhams attempted to bribe him
Brooklyn Beckham recently burned bridges with his famous family, putting an end to his years-long feud with parents David and Victoria. On January 19, 2026, he posted a series of strongly worded Instagram Stories, claiming that his parents had actively tried to sabotage his marriage to Nicola Peltz since before their 2022 wedding.

In one of the posts, the model and aspiring chef mentioned that Victoria cancelled Nicola's wedding dress at the eleventh hour, forcing her to find a new dress urgently. While it was widely believed that Nicola opted not to wear a Victoria Beckham label on her wedding day, the reality was the opposite. Brooklyn revealed:
"My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. 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."

Brooklyn claimed that David and Victoria Beckham attempted to bribe him into signing away the rights to his name just weeks before his wedding to Nicola. The proposed deal would have affected not only him but also Nicola and their future children, but his parents were allegedly "adamant" that he sign it before the wedding so the agreement could take effect immediately. He wrote:
"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."
Furthermore, Brooklyn alleged that his family's attempts did not stop there; the night before their wedding, his family told him that Nicola was "not blood," so she was not a part of the Beckham family.
Brooklyn Beckham addresses the long-rumoured wedding drama
Brooklyn also revisited long-rumoured wedding drama, alleging that Victoria cancelled plans to make Nicola’s wedding dress shortly before the ceremony. He further claimed his mother “hijacked” the couple’s planned and rehearsed first dance and behaved inappropriately in front of more than 500 guests. He further mentioned that the only reason he had to remarry Nicola in 2025 was to replace the 2022 wedding with new memories.

Since it was supposed to be their first dance as a married couple, Nicola was humiliated and felt her mother-in-law had ruined the most special moment of the wedding. As the Spice Girl star joined Brooklyn on the dance floor, the bride was left in tears. A source close to the family bluntly shared:
“It wasn't appropriate. Nicola ran from the room crying. Nicola 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't understand was why."

Brooklyn has since tried to create "space" between himself and his famous parents to maintain family boundaries. While David and Victoria allegedly blamed Nicola for the rift, calling her ‘controlling’, those who know her have strongly refuted these claims, calling her protective and loving.

Brooklyn says David and Victoria prioritise "Brand Beckham" above anything else
In the same statement, Brooklyn accused his parents of controlling media narratives about the family throughout his life. He described what he called performative social media posts, staged family events, and inauthentic relationships designed to protect the Beckham image. He wrote:
"My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. 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."

Why did Brooklyn decide to expose his famous parents after all these years?
Brooklyn Beckham’s decision to sever ties with his world-famous parents didn’t happen overnight. According to a Page Six insider, the true breaking point came just days before his explosive public statements. Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly spent years privately trying to repair their relationship, determined to avoid turning family issues into a public spectacle. Despite repeated efforts, trust completely broke down.

Insiders say the feud reached its peak “last week,” pushing Brooklyn beyond his limits. He ultimately chose to speak out to set the record straight and clarify long-standing narratives, saying he and Nicola no longer want to be caught in an ongoing power struggle between the Beckham and Peltz families.
David and Victoria Beckham have yet to release a public statement about Brooklyn's explosive claims. What are your thoughts on these revelations?
