Beckham Yacht Getaway Amidst Family Feud: Inside the Tension with Brooklyn

David Beckham and his wife Victoria have brushed off the furore surrounding their feud with son Brooklyn, as they enjoyed their annual summer yacht getaway

BECKHAM FAMILY CHAOS: Brooklyn's Bitter Feud with His Famous Parents Continues

The Beckham family drama has reached new heights as Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, continue to distance themselves from their famous parents, David and Victoria. The power couple's annual summer yacht getaway was the perfect opportunity for them to put on a united front, but it seems that even their picturesque surroundings couldn't hide the tension between them.

As they soaked up the sun-kissed weather off the coast of St Tropez, David, 50, and Victoria, 51, were seen embracing their daughter Harper, 14. Meanwhile, Romeo, 22, was busy jet-skiing in the sunshine, and Victoria opted for a spot of downtime on the yacht before changing into a chic yellow satin dress and matching hat.

But behind the scenes, it's a different story altogether. Sources close to the family have revealed that Brooklyn has been "told by Nicola not to contact his parents," and it seems that he's taken her advice to heart. The couple's absence from David's 50th birthday celebrations in May was a clear indication of their frosty relationship, and things only got worse when they failed to visit Harper at home after arriving in London.

Brooklyn and Nicola's actions have left many speculating about the reasons behind their decision to cut ties with their famous parents. Some believe that Nicola is controlling Brooklyn, while others think he's simply trying to assert his independence. But one thing's for sure - the tension between them is palpable.

The latest blow came when Brooklyn shared a cooking video accompanied by a song that seemed to hint at feeling oppressed and seeking empowerment. Nicola didn't help matters when she sported a replica of David's iconic football shorts from his England debut in the 90s while out on their superyacht. The actress has been publicly praising her billionaire family, including Nelson Peltz, on social media, fueling speculation about her influence over Brooklyn.

As Romeo stepped in to defend his parents with a pointed statement about appreciating people who love you, it's clear that the Beckhams are not afraid to speak their minds. But will they be able to mend the rift between them and their estranged son? Only time will tell.

A History of Feud: How Brooklyn and His Parents' Relationship Deteriorated

It all started when Brooklyn failed to attend any of his father's 50th birthday celebrations in May, including a boys' fishing trip. The couple's absence was a clear indication that they didn't want to be part of the festivities. Things only got worse when they didn't visit Harper at home after arriving in London.

While his famous parents were little more than a few hours flight away, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz shared loved-up Instagram snaps back in the UK

But what really sparked tensions between Brooklyn and his parents was when he failed to wish them a happy birthday on social media. David, Romeo, and Cruz all posted gushing messages for Victoria's 51st, but Brooklyn remained eerily quiet. It seemed like a calculated move, designed to show that he didn't care about their feelings.

The couple's refusal to engage with his parents' milestone birthdays has been seen as a deliberate attempt to distance themselves from the family. And it seems that Nicola is at the center of it all - fueling speculation that she's controlling Brooklyn and dictating how he interacts with his famous family.

Brooklyn's Bizarre Behavior: A Pattern of Defiance

Every the doting dad, David embraced his daughter Harper, 14, as they boarded a speedboat to take them to the shore

As Brooklyn continues to snub his parents, many are left wondering what drives him to behave in such a way. Some believe that Nicola is behind the scenes, manipulating Brooklyn into staying away from his family. But others think that he's simply trying to assert his independence and create his own identity outside of his famous family.

Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure - Brooklyn's behavior has left many in the Beckham camp reeling. David and Victoria are said to be "devastated" by their son's actions, and it seems like they're struggling to come to terms with what's happening.

But as Romeo steps up to defend his parents, it's clear that he's not afraid to speak his mind. Will Brooklyn follow suit, or will he continue down the path of defiance? Only time will tell.

A Family Divided: The Consequences of Brooklyn and Nicola's Actions

As the feud between Brooklyn and his parents continues to escalate, many are left wondering what the consequences will be for the entire family. Will they ever be able to mend their rifts and move forward together?

Or will Brooklyn's actions lead to a permanent split between him and his famous family? Only time will tell.

The Beckham family drama has been making headlines for weeks, and it seems like there's no end in sight. But as David and Victoria continue to navigate the choppy waters of their relationship with their estranged son, one thing's for sure - this is a family that's more divided than ever before.

As the Beckham family drama continues to unfold, one thing's for sure - this is a family that's more divided than ever before.

In a piece akin to her classic designs, Victoria went braless as she departed her family's yacht

Victoria showed off her laid-back sense of style in a pale pink co-ord as she relaxed on the yacht with an ice cold beverage

The family were seen relaxing on their luxurious yacht together, with eldest son Brooklyn absent from the holiday

The family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months, amid claims Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents

The couple traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami

The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022

David shared a sweet embrace with his youngest daughter as they departed the luxury vessel to head to the shore together

The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish

A source said at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself'

'It's not an oligarch-style super-yacht, but it's still pretty plush by anyone's standards,' the source added

While his parents relaxed on their luxury yacht, Romeo enjoyed a ride on a jet ski across the ocean in the St Tropez sunshine

David and Victoria have reportedly become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from Brooklyn after he failed to attend any of the football ace's birthday celebrations

He also didn't wish either his mum Victoria or dad David a happy birthday on social media - an unusual move for the Beckhams, who are known for their loving posts.

It was previously revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz and Romeo in the latest family drama

However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform

There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp

David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper (pictured) has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly

It comes as tensions have continued to bubble in the past few weeks with a series of digs and jibes from camp Nicola and Brooklyn

And amid the escalating feud last week Romeo stepped in as he shared a very pointed statement about 'appreciating people that love you'

Friends of the Beckhams predicted that it would be a 'huge moment' in the feud, which escalated when the couple didn't attend any of David's 50th celebrations

Brooklyn and Nicola, who married in 2022 at her family's £76million Florida mansion, no longer speak to Sir David and Lady Beckham, with the couple believing that she controls Brooklyn

Nicola recently addressed speculation that she was 'controlling' Brooklyn after posting snaps with her family

The celebratory photos were the latest blow for David and Victoria, after Brooklyn snubbed his own dad's birthday - with many flooding the comments to accuse Nicola of being to blame

Yet she hit back by 'liking' a fan's comment that suggested Brooklyn had made his own decision

Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother's birthday (Victoria is pictured)

Brooklyn reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them last month in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud

According to reports, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David's knighthood being announced
