Siblings at War: How Love and Jealousy Torn Celeb Families Apart
Sibling Rivalries: The Explosive Feuds That Tore Families Apart
The age-old saying "blood is thicker than water" doesn't always hold true for celebrity siblings, as several high-profile families have discovered to their dismay. From feuding footballing brothers to warring pop stars, we take a look at the most shocking and dramatic sibling rivalries that have made headlines.
The Lineker Brothers: 17 Years of Bitter Feud
It's been a long time coming, but Gary and Wayne Lineker have finally put their differences aside after an epic 17-year feud. The brothers, who are both in their 60s, were spotted together at a family wedding last week, putting the past behind them.
The drama began when Wayne made it clear he didn't get along with his brother's ex-wife Danielle Bux, and things escalated from there. Despite their differing careers – Gary is a football pundit, while Wayne runs a popular nightclub in Ibiza – the brothers have struggled to find common ground.
However, it seems their love for family has finally brought them back together. Gary, who left his job as Match of the Day host last month amid controversy, has been spotted with his brother and nephews on several occasions. The pair even reunited at a wedding in Ibiza in June, marking the first time they'd been seen together in years.
The Giggs Brothers: A Scandal That Broke Them Apart
Ryan and Rhodri Giggs are another high-profile sibling duo who have fallen out over love. In 2011, it emerged that Ryan had an eight-year affair with Natasha Lever, which took place while he was married to his current wife Stacey.
Rhodri, a former footballer himself, accused his brother of being unfaithful and claimed he could have "buried" him if he wanted to. The brothers' relationship has been strained ever since, with Rhodri even accusing Ryan of being responsible for their family's downfall.
The Beckham Brothers: A Rift That's Gone Too Far
It seems like the sun-kissed family vibes of the Beckhams have given way to a bitter feud between Romeo and Brooklyn. The brothers' love lives are at the center of the drama, with Kim Turnbull – an ex-girlfriend of Romeo's – being accused of driving a wedge between them.
Kim has denied any romantic involvement with Romeo, but sources close to Nicola Peltz (Brooklyn's wife) claim she felt uncomfortable around her. David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations were even skipped by the pair, sparking rumors that Kim is at the root of their problems.
The Gallagher Brothers: A Long-Running Rivalry
Liam and Noel Gallagher have been warring for years over their respective love lives and musical pursuits. In one infamous incident, Noel punched his brother in the face after Liam questioned the paternity of Noel's child with Meg Matthews.
Their families are also at odds, with Noel's ex-wife Sara MacDonald being a particular thorn in Liam's side. After Noel's £20m divorce, there were rumors of an Oasis reunion – but sources close to the band claim it was all just a ploy to get him out of paying alimony.
The Sawalha Sisters: A Feud That's Been Years in the Making
Julia and Nadia Sawalha have been at each other's throats for decades, with their competitive childhood antics giving way to full-blown sibling rivalry. The pair even stopped following each other on social media after a particularly nasty argument.
Nadia has spoken out about their "stormy" relationship, claiming that Julia's ex-boyfriend Alan Davies was the catalyst for their feud. However, Julia has fired back at her sister, accusing Nadia of causing tension in their family and trying to gain sympathy with fake tears on TV.
