David and Victoria Beckham have built one of the most iconic partnerships in sports and entertainment. Their relationship began in 1997, when Victoria, then a pop sensation known as âPosh Spice,â attended a Manchester United match. People says David revealed on “The Ellen Show” that he was instantly taken with her, even telling his best friend before they met, âI want to marry that one,â after seeing her on television with the Spice Girls. The connection quickly deepened over their first meetings in the playersâ lounge where Victoria gave David her phone number on a boarding pass.
The couple announced their engagement in 1998, per Elle, and welcomed their first child, Brooklyn, in March 1999. Their wedding later that year was a highly-publicized event, solidifying their status as a global âpower couple.â Since then, they have expanded their family to include sons Romeo and Cruz, and daughter Harper, balancing major moves for Davidâs football career and Victoriaâs shift from music to fashion. As fans know, for the past several months, rumors have swirled about a rift between 26-year-old Brooklyn and his parents. But the photographer proved he’s taking it all in stride when he reached out to the media with a calm and simple response. Read on to see what he said.
Beckham Family Tensions Date Back to Brooklyn’s 2022 Wedding
In June 2025, People published a rundown of what led to the feud rumors. The outlet says tensions emerged within the Beckham family at Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz sparked by issues surrounding Nicolaâs wedding dress, after Victoria Beckhamâs atelier could not complete the gown as planned.
Peltz publicly denied any rift in 2023, but the distance grew more apparent when Brooklyn and Nicola missed David Beckhamâs 50th birthday celebration in May 2025, though insiders stress that reconciling is ânot beyond repairâ. Brooklyn, for his part, has acknowledged the family drama but emphasizes the support he receives from Nicola, is staying focused on their life together rather than the negativity surrounding them.
Brooklyn Beckham’s Response
Brooklyn Beckham’s recent comments to the Daily Mail regarding the rift were so calm and classy that some fans even called them “boring.” The outlet says he told them in an interview, “There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife. Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.”
He also revealed that he lets tabloid negativity roll off his back, saying, “Everyone is always going to say rubbish. I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.”
