On January 19, 2026, Brooklyn Beckham explicitly accused his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of controlling his life.

He felt that his parents consistently prioritized public image and "Brand Beckham" over his personal happiness.

Brookham revealed that he no longer wanted to reconcile with his family after years of feeling stifled.

He felt forced to speak publicly because of the constant lies being told.

Furthermore, Brooklyn Beckham stated that distancing himself from his family had had a positive impact on his mental health.

He claimed that his anxiety levels had decreased significantly since distancing himself from his parents.

This conflict escalated further with Brooklyn Beckham's allegations regarding his marriage to Nicola Peltz.

She accused her parents of "constantly trying to ruin their relationship since before their wedding," and that these efforts continue to this day.

One incident Brooklyn revealed was her mother, Victoria Beckham, canceling Nicola's wedding dress at the "last minute." Nicola was excited to wear Victoria's design, forcing her to urgently search for a new dress.

Furthermore, Brooklyn accused his mother of "hijacking" his first dance with Nicola at their wedding, saying Victoria danced "very inappropriately" with him in front of everyone, making him feel "uncomfortable or humiliated" in his life.

Brooklyn also claimed that his wife had been "disrespected" by his family and was not invited to his father's 50th birthday party.

He even accused his parents of pressuring and trying to bribe him into giving up the rights to his name before his wedding, which he said would affect him, his wife, and their future children.

Rumors of tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents have been circulating since his marriage to actress Nicola Peltz in 2022.

Many speculated that Brooklyn's relationship with Peltz was the main source of the family tension.

Speculation intensified when Brooklyn unfollowed David and Victoria Beckham on social media, an action often interpreted as a sign of discord.

Another indication of the rift was Brooklyn's absence from his mother's Netflix documentary, "Victoria Beckham," which premiered in October 2025.

However, he and Nicola Peltz did attend the premiere of his father's documentary, "Beckham," in 2023.

Brooklyn stated that he and his wife do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation.

Instead, they simply want peace, privacy, and happiness for themselves and their future family.
