Brooklyn Beckham ‘made his position clear’ when he declared his loyalty to his wife Nicole Peltz in the midst of a family fallout.
After missing his dad David’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations and sparking rumours of a fallout with his younger brothers, Brooklyn, 26, made his most public statement yet on Sunday.
‘My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby,’ Brooklyn wrote on a recent Instagram post, with fans particularly paying attention to his insistence that he will always ‘choose’ his wife.
The statement has left his mum, Victoria, 51, ‘heartbroken’, with a source revealing to Metro that Brooklyn’s words have brought the rift back into the spotlight.
‘Victoria is upset that things have escalated to this point. Brooklyn has made his position clear in his recent post and that has left both herself and David heartbroken,’ the insider shared.
‘They will always be there for Brooklyn, and as Victoria said in a recent interview, she’s a brilliant mum to her children – they all mean the world to her.
‘But things at the moment feel divided and Brooklyn’s remarks haven’t helped the situation. They are desperate for things to improve.’
The family have largely kept a dignified silence on whispers of an ongoing feud, despite plenty of apparent drama and cryptic social media posts.
However, the youngest of the Beckham boys, Cruz, was quick to respond following Brooklyn’s public declaration to his wife.
In response, Cruz took to his own Instagram Story with a message dedicated to his mum, dad, and siblings.
The 20-year-old shared a photo of himself alongside David and Victoria, plus Brooklyn, 22-year-old brother Romeo, and 13-year-old Harper.
In what fans believe was a display of whose side he’s on, he added in the caption: ‘I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.’
The photo he shared was taken last September when Cruz and his family went to support Victoria at her Paris Fashion Week show.
Rumours of a rift increased this month, after Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend any of his dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Reaching out to Brooklyn, David made an olive branch gesture after the celebrations, telling his son that he was ‘missed’ from a boys’ trip fishing in Scotland as part of his birthday.
David posted photos taken on the holiday, including images of himself with his two sons. A few hours later, he shared a selfie he’d taken with Romeo and Cruz, acknowledging Brooklyn’s absence.
‘You were missed,’ he added, tagging his eldest son in the post.
It was reported that Kim Turnball, Romeo’s new girlfriend, dated Brooklyn before she got into a relationship with Romeo, which has caused a rift between the brothers.
Cruz later rubbished claims that Brooklyn and Kim ever dated after a fan commented, ‘It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex, too? Cool,’ under a previous post of Romeo and Kim together.
Cruz took to the comment section to defend his brother, hitting back: ‘Brooklyn and Kim never dated.’
Brooklyn and Nicola have reportedly since grown close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, even accepting a dinner invite from the Sussexes, where they bonded over shared family experiences.
Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, extended an ‘unexpected invite’ to the young couple, as they bonded over similar family experiences.
‘Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar’, a source told The Sun. While Meghan and Nicola found ‘common ground’ after both parties were accused of causing a rift in their husbands’ families.
Metro has contacted representatives for David, Victoria, and Brooklyn for comment.
