Anyone hoping that 2026 could prove to be a quieter year away from Beckham family drama should brace for more of the same as Brooklyn and his wife deal with ongoing rumours of feuding with the rest of his family

Brooklyn Beckham is “very much his own man” as pals hit back at “misogynistic” claims that wife Nicola Peltz is calling the shots. The star’s friends say allegations that his wife is “controlling” him are deeply insulting.
“This narrative is so sexist and misogynistic, and he does not stand for his wife being vilified in this way. It’s a story as old as time: blame the woman for the man’s actions. It’s just deeply insulting,” says a source. Insiders say instead Brooklyn is “very much his own man” as he ploughs a course away from his family.
It comes after it emerged David and Victoria were left devastated when they received a legal request to block all direct contact with him. Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola, 31, sent the letter last summer, asking them to stop contacting them, or mentioning them on social media

The letter, sent by Nicola’s law firm Schillings to the Beckhams’ firm Harbottle and Lewis, was merely a request and has not led to action. A source with knowledge of the situation said: “Nobody ever wanted to do something like this, but unfortunately, his request had constantly gone ignored by his family. “He did what he had to do to protect himself.”
It’s believed David, 50, and Victoria, 51, only tried to contact the couple to try and resolve things. The aggressive legal approach is said to have blindsided them.
Nicola’s father has previously hired £800-an-hour lawyer Marty Singer, who represented Prince Andrew and Bill Cosby, to sue wedding planners for Nicola and Brooklyn’s big day in 2022. The case was eventually settled.

Nicola is also suing a dog grooming business, accusing it of killing her chihuahua. She and Brooklyn have hired top law firm Schillings in the UK. The Beckhams are understood to still be hopeful of resolving the feud and a friend has said they will always be there for their son.
The feud blew up after Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations in London. Nicola’s friends claimed she helped Brooklyn “see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within his family”. The Beckhams’ friends denied this at the time.
The Mirror revealed last week how Brooklyn was still in touch with both sets of grandparents. A source said: “While things between him and his parents are over… Brooklyn is still very fond of his grandparents. There is a lot of love for them, and that has never faltered.”
A particular low point came when they failed to invite the Beckhams to see them renew their wedding vows, three years on from tying the knot. Speaking about the ceremony last August, Brooklyn said: “We just wanted a really beautiful experience.
“To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun.”
