Brooklyn Beckham breaks silence on family feud at Ryder Cup

Brooklyn Beckham broke his silence on the ongoing Beckham family feud, telling the Daily Mail that he is unfazed by the headlines and choosing to focus on his work and his wife. The candid remarks came at the Ryder Cup in Bethpage Black, New York, where Beckham played in a high-profile golf event and addressed questions about the family dispute that has dominated headlines for months.

"There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife," the photographer said, referencing Nicola Peltz Beckham. "Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy." He added that, despite the chatter, he planned to stay the course and continue with his career while prioritizing his marriage. Beckham also acknowledged the persistent talk around the feud, describing most of the coverage as "rubbish." He noted that while the public dispute continues, he would soon return to Los Angeles to be with Nicola and tend to family life, including their four dogs.

The Ryder Cup appearance occurred amid ongoing questions about his relationship with his parents and siblings. Sources have said that Beckham has been on "no contact" terms with David Beckham and Victoria Beckham for months, though he has leaned on Nicola’s family for support as the situation has unfolded. Beckham has repeatedly highlighted that he and Nicola are focused on their own path together, even as questions about the broader Beckham family narrative persist.

Beckham’s ties to Nicola’s relatives — Nelson and Claudia Peltz — have reportedly strengthened in the wake of the rift. Page Six, which has tracked the drama, reported in June that Brooklyn had grown closer to his in-laws, in part because of a shift in priorities and a focus on brand-building within the Peltz family circle. This reported split from the core Beckham family comes as insiders have offered mixed takes about the dynamics at hand. Some have asserted that the Beckhams have a loving, committed parenting approach, while others have suggested deep-seated tensions stemming from Nicola’s 2022 wedding and beyond. A source emphasized that the Beckhams are loving parents even amid the public disagreements, underscoring a divide between private family life and tabloid narratives.

Timeline details have helped illustrate how the feud evolved. Rumors began to circulate in April when TMZ reported that Brooklyn had stopped speaking to his brother Romeo Beckham over his relationship with Kim Turnbull. Turnbull herself subsequently spoke out, denying that she and Brooklyn had dated and saying she wished to step back from the ongoing conversation to protect everyone involved. The discord also touched other family milestones; Beckham reportedly missed significant moments, including David Beckham’s 50th birthday and the soccer star’s knighthood ceremony. In June, David appeared to extend an olive branch by including Brooklyn in a public post that read, "I love you all," a line that some observers interpreted as a show of familial goodwill amid the rift.

As the public narrative continues to unfold, Brooklyn Beckham has emphasized his commitment to his wife and his own professional endeavors, while navigating a highly scrutinized family dynamic. The evolving story illustrates how celebrity family feuds can intersect with personal relationships, ambition, and media coverage, even as individuals on all sides pursue their own paths. The Ryder Cup moments captured attention for what they revealed about the balancing act between public interest and private life for a family under constant headline scrutiny.

As the narrative continues to evolve, observers will likely watch for any new statements from Beckham or his parents, and for any further public signals about where the family stands. In the meantime, Brooklyn and Nicola appear to be maintaining a united, low-profile approach, focusing on personal and professional priorities while the broader family discussions play out in the media arena.
