Brooklyn Beckham, the 26-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, has publicly addressed the tumultuous relationship with his family while attending Vogue World: Hollywood 2025 at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on October 26, 2025. His comments come in light of several disputes that have surfaced since his marriage to actress Nicola Peltz in 2022, raising concerns about family dynamics and public perception.
Beckham was surprisingly honest in a revealing interview. He alleged that his family had treated him poorly and attempted to destroy his relationship with Peltz. He expressed feelings of discomfort and humiliation regarding his wedding day, where he alleged that his mother, Victoria, “hijacked my first dance with my wife” and “danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.” Underneath it all, Beckham is under huge pressure from his family situation. He recounts how they are manipulative and toxic while taking a toll on his mental wellbeing.
Beckham shared that Victoria agreed to make Peltz’s wedding dress, but changed her mind at the last minute. This decision placed additional pressure on their already fraught relationship. The rift grew further when Beckham’s family made an intense push for him to give up his rights to his name. He shared the story of how people arguing over wedding seating arrangements caused his family to call him “evil.”
All of that raw family drama aside, Beckham told us that he made the decision to take a few steps back from the craziness. He noted that since distancing himself from his family, “for the first time in my life… that anxiety has disappeared.” In fact, this clarity has led him to take the unprecedented step of going public with his support after years of quiet advocacy.

He went on to elaborate that the lack of public relations strategy from his family’s side has made him feel backed into a corner. “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,” he said.
The ex-society dog explained as a visual reminder that he has no interest in reuniting with his family. “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled; I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he stated. Beckham voiced concerns about how his family prioritizes public image over genuine familial bonds, saying, “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else.”
Beckham’s statements speak to a larger and profound frustration with the scrutiny over family issues as they’ve been played out in the spotlight. He criticized the narratives shaped by his family, asserting that they “place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”
What mighty Brooklyn Beckham has heard, he is resolved not to do. He is equally committed to raising his marriage with Nicola Peltz as their family drama builds.
