In a lengthy post on Instagram Stories on January 19, Brooklyn Beckham spoke out amid reports of a rift with his parents, which surfaced after he did not attend his father’s 50th birthday in London last year.
While Brooklyn Beckham said he has “made every effort to keep these matters private,” he said his parents “and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself.”
In his post, he wrote, “My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.”
He said his mother backed out of making Peltz Beckham’s wedding dress at the last minute. (Vogue reported in 2022 that the dress Peltz Beckham wore on her wedding day was the result of “a year’s worth of conversations with Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s team,” as well as two meetings in Rome and two fittings in the US.)
Beckham also said in his post that his mother “hijacked” his first dance with his wife, which he said left him feeling “humiliated.”
He added, “The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family’.”
“My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one,” he wrote.
Neither couple has responded to requests for comment from Business Insider.
