Beckham Family Rift: Romeo's Heartfelt Message Amid Feud with Brooklyn
BECKHAMS IN CRISIS: Family Feud Escalates as Brooklyn Snubs Parents' 50th Birthday Celebrations
The Beckham family drama has reached new heights, with sources close to Victoria and David revealing that they have become resigned to being estranged from their eldest son Brooklyn. The rift began when Brooklyn failed to attend his father's 50th birthday celebrations in May, a snub that was seen as a personal affront by the former footballer.
But it seems that Brooklyn's loyalty lies with his wife Nicola Peltz and her family. In recent weeks, he has been sharing snaps of himself with her parents on social media, leaving many to wonder if he is abandoning ship and siding with his in-laws against his own family.
Romeo Beckham, David and Victoria's 22-year-old son, has spoken out about the importance of family in a cryptic message on Instagram. "Life is too short, love who you love and tell them how much you really do!" he wrote. "But the people that truly love you and care for you will always be there... Don't hold back from LOVE or APPRECIATION for ANYTHING OR ANYONE."
Meanwhile, sources close to the Beckhams have revealed that they were devastated when Brooklyn failed to attend his father's birthday celebrations, which included a boys' fishing trip. The fact that he was in London at the time only added salt to the wound, as it seemed like he had deliberately chosen not to reach out or make an effort to connect with his family.
But things took a turn for the worse when new photographs of Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz emerged from their recent Moncler campaign shoot. The pictures were taken in London, a city that holds "so many memories" for the couple, according to their joint statement. However, what's glaringly absent from the statement is any mention of David and Victoria, or Brooklyn's childhood in the capital.
The fact that they didn't even bother to tell their parents about the shoot has left many in the Beckham circle feeling betrayed and hurt. "It was disgracefully rude," a source close to the family revealed. "Brooklyn knows how much his family values him, and yet he chose to disregard them like that."
But it's not just Brooklyn who seems to be cutting ties with his parents. Sources close to Nicola Peltz have revealed that she has been urging her husband to distance himself from his family, fueling speculation that the couple is more interested in building a new life together than in maintaining relationships with their loved ones.
The rift between Brooklyn and his parents began when he failed to post anything on social media to wish Victoria a happy 51st birthday. Meanwhile, David, Romeo, and Cruz all shared gushing messages to mark the occasion. And if that wasn't enough, Brooklyn was also notably absent from his father's 50th birthday celebrations.
But it seems like the final nail in the coffin came when Brooklyn reportedly told his family that he wants no contact with them. A source close to the family revealed that this has been a recent development, and that Brooklyn has been deliberately choosing not to respond to messages or phone calls from his loved ones.
In a bizarre twist, Brooklyn's lack of communication was only discovered by the public when David received his knighthood last month. It seems like Brooklyn didn't even bother to reach out to his family to congratulate them on this major achievement.
However, in a rare glimmer of hope, Brooklyn did post a birthday message for his grandmother Sandra on her 76th birthday. The sweet tribute was a stark contrast to the cold shoulder he had given his parents just days earlier.
David Beckham's response to his wife's milestone birthday was equally heartfelt, as he took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos featuring himself and his mum from childhood to the present day. But even in this moment of celebration, Brooklyn couldn't resist taking a swipe at his family by deliberately excluding them from his own post for his parents' 50th birthdays.
The fact that Brooklyn has been choosing not to engage with his family or show any interest in their lives is a clear indication that he is determined to forge his own path and build a life away from the one he was born into. But as Romeo's message on Instagram so poignantly put it, "life can flash before your eyes at any moment." Will Brooklyn realize too late that family truly is everything?
