Brooklyn Beckham Breaks Silence on Family Feud, Praises Nicola Peltz Beckham
Beckham says his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham is supportive as he navigates estrangement from his parents and ongoing headlines
Brooklyn Beckham broke his silence on the feud that has dominated headlines, telling the Daily Mail on Wednesday that he has a "very supportive wife" in Nicola Peltz Beckham and that the couple "do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy." He also noted that amid the chatter, "everyone is always going to say rubbish." The remarks came as he attended the Ryder Cup in the United States, where he has kept a relatively low profile aside from appearances on the golf course.
The eldest Beckham son has been estranged from his parents and several siblings for months, according to Page Six, which has reported that he has grown closer to Nicola Peltz Beckham’s family, including billionaire Nelson Peltz and wife Claudia. The dynamic has captivated fans and tabloid coverage for months, with insiders offering competing theories about the reason for the rift.
At the Ryder Cup, held at Bethpage Black Golf Course in New York, Beckham described the chatter surrounding him as "rubbish" and spoke about focusing on golf and time with friends. "I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun," he said, as he faced off against Eli Manning’s team.
He said he would soon return to Los Angeles to be with Nicola, 30, and their four dogs, after leaving her to tend to their pets. "I left my wife with our four dogs on her own so I have to go back and help out and get back to work," he said.
The family feud narrative has been shaped by a string of reports over the last several months. In June, Page Six reported that Brooklyn had grown closer to Nicola’s parents, and that the clan had become the center of his personal life in contrast to his blood relatives. Another insider said the rift has centered, in part, on branding and public perception: "It’s all about Brand Beckham." Nicola, who shares the spotlight with her husband, has been described by some insiders as navigating the tension between her family and her husband’s.
Earlier rumors traced the split to April, when TMZ reported that Brooklyn had stopped speaking to his brother Romeo Beckham over Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull. Brooklyn had previously dated Turnbull, but sources emphasized that the friction was not about jealousy over the relationship; rather, discussions about motive and public image were involved.
A Page Six source at the time said, "Anyone who knows the Beckhams knows they are loving, committed, amazing parents," attempting to blunt the sense of family discord. Turnbull herself later spoke out in June to deny that she and Brooklyn had dated and to say she wished to remove herself from the ongoing conversation for the sake of everyone involved.
David Beckham also offered a subtle signal of reconciliation in June, when he included Brooklyn in a post that read, "I love you all." The gesture appeared to acknowledge the rift while maintaining a public family front.
Despite the tensions, Brooklyn has continued to miss family milestones. He has not been part of some major events, including what would have been David’s 50th birthday celebrations and Victoria’s knighthood recognition, according to reports cited in coverage of the feud.
In focusing on his personal life, Brooklyn has leaned on Nicola’s family for support. The couple’s status has become a focal point for observers curious about how the Beckhams will move forward as a blended family with deep business and public profiles. Nicola Peltz, a former actress who married into the Beckham family in 2022, has long been a subject of public interest in relation to Victoria Beckham’s position in the family’s public narrative, though both sides have described their relationship as loving and committed.
As both sides navigate the ongoing headlines, Brooklyn’s emphasis on privacy and normalcy appears to be calibrated to the Ryder Cup moment and his immediate circle. He has indicated a desire to keep work and family life in balance as he addresses the strain of being at the center of persistent rumors.
The celebrity-driven coverage surrounding the Beckhams continues to unfold amid questions about how the family will reconcile public life, private relationships, and a legacy built on a mix of sports, fashion, and entertainment. The culture and entertainment spotlight on the Beckhams remains intense, with new developments likely to surface as both sides navigate the high-profile dynamics of a family whose members span fashion, film, and global business.
