Brooklyn Beckham: From beloved son to unfilial "rebellious child," exposing his parents' true nature.

On the morning of January 20th, Brooklyn Beckham unexpectedly posted a six-page open letter, publicly clarifying for the first time the rumors of a rift in his relationship with his parents.

In his open letter, Brooklyn repeatedly mentioned his wife and asserted that Nicola Peltz was not the cause of the discord in the Beckham family. He also directly addressed the conflicts between his wife and his mother – designer Victoria Beckham – around the time of their wedding in 2022.

Brooklyn claims Victoria canceled the design of his daughter-in-law's wedding dress at the last minute, despite previously expressing great enthusiasm, forcing Nicola to find an alternative in a rushed situation. He also accuses his mother of actions that hurt him and his wife on their wedding day, including interfering with important rituals.

Notably, Brooklyn revealed that just weeks before his wedding, his parents pressured him to sign an agreement regarding the use of his personal name. His refusal to sign reportedly strained family relations due to its impact on business deals.

"My family prioritizes brands and contracts. Family love seems to be measured by the number of times we appear together or share photos on social media," Brooklyn wrote.

Brooklyn said he had remained silent and endured for years, but decided to speak out when his parents and the media continued to release his private stories to the press.

"I don't want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled by anyone. This is the first time I've dared to stand up for myself. My whole life, my parents have manipulated the narratives in the media. Emotional social media posts, family events, and relationships were all staged."

"I've witnessed firsthand how readily they're willing to fabricate lies to protect their glamorous image. But I believe the truth will eventually come to light," Brooklyn wrote.

Amid speculation that he is controlled by his wife, Brooklyn asserts that only by distancing himself from David and Victoria Beckham can he find peace and overcome his anxiety disorder.

Amidst the public outcry caused by her open letter, Nicola Peltz also became the center of attention. On her personal page with over 3 million followers, the actress and model posted a mirror selfie, showing off her new Yiddish tattoo that read: "Family comes first." British media interpreted this as a message Nicola was sending during a sensitive period for her husband's family.

Currently, Brooklyn Beckham's name is trending on social media platforms and appearing frequently in international news. Public opinion is divided into two opposing camps: one side expresses support for Brooklyn, while the other shows sympathy for the former England captain and his wife.

International media outlets have described the open letter from the eldest son of the Beckham family as "the straw that broke the camel's back," pushing the conflict within one of the world's most famous families to a new level of tension. To date, David and Victoria Beckham have yet to issue an official response.

From family pride to a challenging career journey.

Brooklyn Beckham (born in 1999) was once a great source of pride for the Beckham couple. As their firstborn son, he was the only one to witness his parents' wedding and for many years Victoria Beckham spoke of him with special pride.

From the moment he was born, Brooklyn was associated with the expectation that he would inherit his father's illustrious football career or achieve success in the fashion industry like his mother. His name appeared frequently in the media and he always received special attention.

David Beckham personally encouraged his son to pursue football. With his father's support, Brooklyn joined Arsenal's youth academy at the age of 15.

However, after only two years, he left the youth team before signing a trial contract. The British media frankly commented that Brooklyn "lacked the technique and speed to compete at the professional level."

Leaving the football field, Brooklyn shifted his focus to photography and fashion. At age 18, he published the photo book What I See (2017), which was heavily promoted but quickly faced criticism for resembling a family album more than professional photography.

Brooklyn then ventured into the culinary field, releasing cooking videos and calling himself a chef despite never having worked in a professional restaurant kitchen.

Rolling Stone magazine once asked, "Is Brooklyn Beckham really a chef?" and commented that he "has the style, but his skills are only at an apprentice level."

At 27, Brooklyn has worked in at least four different fields but has yet to make a significant impact. The Guardian suggests that enjoying too many privileges has left him without the pressure to prove his true abilities.

Marriage, family distance, and life in America

In 2022, Brooklyn married actress Nicola Peltz, the daughter of an American billionaire. Since then, rumors of conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have begun to surface. Brooklyn is said to always side with his wife, gradually creating distance from the rest of the Beckham family.

The decision to leave England and move to the US full-time with his wife's family only widened this gap. People magazine commented: "Absence at important milestones is the most irreparable form of conflict, because it strikes at the symbolic level of the family."

In an interview last year, Brooklyn revealed that his motivation for seriously pursuing a career as a chef was because his wife didn't know how to cook.

"Before the Covid-19 pandemic, both Nicola and I were clumsy in the kitchen. Because I loved my wife, I learned to cook. My culinary journey began from there," he shared.

On social media, over the past year, Brooklyn and Nicola have frequently posted happy moments together. The chef affirms that his wife and her family are his strongest support system right now.

In an interview with Vogue in 2025, Brooklyn revealed his intention to have children with Nicola in the future and his belief that his wife would be a good mother.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brooklyn and his wife's combined net worth is estimated at around $60 million. After getting married, they bought a $10 million apartment in Beverly Hills but put it up for sale in March 2023 and now live in another house in the US.
