Brooklyn Beckham warns famous parents: ‘Talk to my lawyers, not me’
Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, cut ties with the Beckhams over the past year in an epic fallout that resulted in the wannabe chef missing his father’s 50th birthday and knighthood celebrations.
But the latest twist in the saga shows the rift is even worse than feared, as Brooklyn has asked his parents to stop contacting him personally and tagging him in social media posts.
A source said: ‘People really don’t know the full facts of this heartbreaking story and think Brooklyn was just being cruel when he blocked his parents.
“The reality is that he sent them a letter late last summer asking that all correspondence be done through lawyers only, and he wanted to try to make amends privately, not publicly.
“He felt that his parents continued to ignore his wishes and mention him online instead of contacting him privately.
“For their part, David and Victoria have simply tried to let their beloved eldest son know that the door is always open, and that they still care.
“After this letter, they had no other physical means to contact him, so what were they supposed to do?
‘They obviously feel completely bewildered and devastated by this latest turn of events. There is no malice on their part, just concern.
‘But it is clear that if any reconciliation is to take place, it will have to be kept out of the sight of prying eyes and will have to take place in private.
“That’s all anyone wants, but unfortunately it still seems very far away as they are only now communicating through lawyers.”
The move followed what Brooklyn deemed a series of “nasty” briefings about Nicola, including suggestions that he was a “hostage” being “controlled” by his wife.
Brooklyn blocked his parents – and brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, – on social media just before Christmas.
The family had watched and appreciated his cooking posts. And it was felt that this went against Brooklyn’s wishes that they leave him and his wife alone.
An insider claimed that the young couple found Instagram posts from Brooklyn’s parents disturbing and worried in the morning about what might have been posted about them.
The source said: “It would really be in the holiday spirit if the Beckhams could leave them alone for now.
“Whether someone follows someone else on Insta should not be a story.
“Nicola and Brooklyn have not commented. They just want peace.’
Brooklyn married actress Nicola in April 2022, and news of the fall split was made public two months later.
Nicola was offended when Victoria promised to design her wedding dress but didn’t take her up on her offer.
Then on the wedding day, pop star Marc Anthony, a friend of the Beckhams, described Victoria as the most beautiful woman in the room.
