David and Victoria Beckham have spent the last few months trying to repair their relationship with their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, and their daughter-in-law, actress Nicola Peltz Beckham, amid a family dispute that reportedly began after the couple's wedding in 2022. According to sources close to the family, the efforts to bridge the gap They have been consistent, although the results are not yet publicly visible. “David and Victoria have repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk to move forward,” a source revealed to People magazine. The source added that, for David, his children—Brooklyn, 26; Romeo, 23; Cross, 20; and Harper, 14—“are his everything.” Despite the difficulties, the former footballer has always included Brooklyn and Nicola in family events, both public and private, including recently his knighthood by King Charles on November 4. The tension, however, seems to have intensified. In January, outlets like The Sun reported that Brooklyn sent his parents a legal notice requesting that all contact be made through lawyers and that they stop tagging him on social media. According to the report, a "like" by Victoria on an Instagram post—interpreted as a breach of that request—led Brooklyn to block her parents on digital platforms. Since December, social media activity has reflected the estrangement: Brooklyn, Nicola, Victoria, and David unfollowed each other on Instagram. Cruz Beckham, for his part, commented on his stories: "My parents would never unfollow their son... They woke up blocked... just like me." The rift was also evident during the recent holidays. While David, Victoria, and their younger children celebrated Christmas together, Brooklyn and Nicola spent the holiday with Nicola's family, the Peltzes. In a year-end summary posted by David, Brooklyn was notably absent, although the footballer later included a photograph with his eldest son in his Instagram stories. Accompanied by the message: “I love you all so much.”

According to several sources, the origin of the conflict dates back to disagreements related to Nicola's wedding dress for her 2022 wedding,as Victoria wanted her to wear one of her own designs, but the actress refused.
