In a dramatic twist that’s sent shockwaves through social media, Brooklyn Beckham appears to be distancing himself from his illustrious family, which includes dad David and mom Victoria. Once the golden child of the Beckham clan, Brooklyn’s recent actions have made fans question the stability of his ties with his famous roots. Who could forget his infamous photography book released back in 2017? It featured a sunny African elephant that, bizarrely, was caught entirely in the shade. An introspective person might have nixed that pic, but not Brooklyn.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Brooklyn’s quest for independence might have led to a rift within the family. An insider from a luxury establishment in London shared, “He was very lovely, but always wanted to be independent from the shadow of his mum and dad. He would come in regularly on his own, but has not been in since marrying Nicola.†It’s noteworthy that while Brooklyn pulls away, David, Victoria, and even his brothers Cruz and Romeo still keep the family bond strong.
It’s striking how quickly shifts occur in high-profile families. The insider noted, “Romeo was in just the other week; he is really polite but seemed a bit downcast. Not seeing his brother has probably taken a toll on him, as there is nothing more stressful than family disagreements.†The dynamics are troubling, especially considering Brooklyn’s close bond with new wife, Nicola Peltz, who’s been described by those around her as somewhat challenging.
This newfound exclusivity may stem from Brooklyn’s big move to the U.S. with Nicola. Recently, they purchased a stunning £10.5 million mansion in Hollywood, aiming to integrate themselves into her billionaire Peltz family. Meanwhile, reports suggest Brooklyn has embraced this lavish lifestyle while stepping away from the family that made his own glamorous upbringing possible.
The couple’s decision to buy a home together comes after years of renting and appears to have contributed to a widening gap within the Beckham clan. Just last month, they were notably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebrations, a sign that some long-standing tensions might be boiling over. Even more telling? Brooklyn has yet to send even a simple heart emoji in recognition of his father’s recent Knighthood.
