‘Gobsmacked’ Beckhams believe they’ll only speak to Brooklyn again if he splits from wife as Victoria ‘filled with rage’
DAVID and Victoria Beckham believe the only way to talk to their son Brooklyn again is to split from wife Nicola Peltz.
The couple were left stunned by their eldest’s explosive claims on Monday night and sources close to Posh Spice say she fluctuates between “extreme hurt and anger”.
She would also be mortified to be the victim of internet memes.
However, those close to the Beckhams told The Sun: “Despite everything that has happened, David and Victoria still love their son.
“He will always be their boy and there will always be a place for him in their home.
“They tried everything to repair their relationship with him and it didn’t work.

“Now I feel like there’s no going back as long as he’s still with Nicola.”
The couple’s phones reportedly “blew up” amid the escalating row, with concerned friends offering their unwavering support.
But Victoria’s parents, Jackie and Tony, and David’s Sandra and Ted, were also heartbroken by the development.
The latest news on Brooklyn’s seismic declaration…
The Sun said earlier this month that they are still in contact with Brooklyn, although they feel there is little they can do to help.
The source continued: “The grandparents are once again very upset.
“They feel helpless and don’t know what to do.
“They love Brooklyn but of course love their own children very much and see the pain etched on their faces.”
Younger brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, have remained silent on social media after Brooklyn denied their claim that he blocked them.
But he wasn’t invited to Cruz’s 21st birthday party next month.
Meanwhile, Harper, 14, is said to be the sibling most hurt by the devastating fallout.
The youngest Beckham, once described by Nicola as the little sister of her dreams, is said to be upset that Brooklyn hasn’t contacted her.
A source said: “It’s not that he doesn’t care or adore her, he just wants to protect her by not involving her in this mess. »
Another insider explained: “The main thing to remember is that, ironically, both camps are completely united on one front: that this is hitting everyone hard.
“They want people to remember that they are real humans with real feelings.
“David and Victoria are overwhelmed by the public support they have received from their fans and know that families across the country are experiencing their own issues.
“If they can offer comfort to even one family, that’s something.”

“Similarly, Brooklyn and Nicola – particularly in the US – have been inundated with support from young Gen Z fans.
“This generation believes that blood is not always thicker than water and that people simply speak their truth.
“No one wanted any of this, but they all have wonderful support around them, both personally and professionally.”
A poll on the Sun’s website suggests that 49 percent of readers support Team Beckham, while 27 percent support Team Brooklyn and 24 percent are unsure.
Meanwhile, Colin Every, who was married to David’s older sister Lynne for more than a decade, said Brooklyn had “the morals of a goldfish”.
He added: “This is a private matter.
“No matter what his parents did, he should show some respect.

“He’s a spoiled brat.
“He never left without a plate of food.
“He didn’t live on chicken nuggets and chips like my kids.
“I’m furious with him – if he stood in front of me I would rearrange his face.
“Maybe he would grow up then.”
“I don’t like David and Victoria, but I don’t wish them any harm.
“They don’t deserve this.”
Yesterday, actress Katherine Ryan also spoke out in favor of the Beckhams.

Speaking on the Her Telling Everybody Everything podcast, the 42-year-old Canadian star said: “I think Brooklyn Beckham needs to grow up a little bit.
“He is the first son of an absolute dynasty family, they are like royalty by matching us with jeans – and that comes with a lot of privileges.
“But of course it’s complicated because you’re living your life in the public eye.
“It’s good, but I think he’s benefited a lot from it and he doesn’t seem to have the measured emotional intelligence to say, ‘In many ways this has been crap, but in many ways it’s created a good life for me.’
“I think a lot of nepo babies struggle to match, and certainly not eclipse, the success of their parents.”

Brooklyn Beckham’s full statement
“I have remained silent for years and have done everything possible to keep these matters confidential.
“Unfortunately, my parents and their team continued to speak to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that were printed.
“I don’t want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m defending myself for the first time in my life.
“All my life, my parents controlled the press stories about our family.
“Performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships are an integral part of the life I was born into.
“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the extent to which they are willing to deploy countless lies in the media, mainly at the expense of innocent people, in order to preserve their own facade.
“But I believe the truth always comes out.
“My parents kept trying to ruin my relationship before I got married, and it didn’t stop.
“My mother canceled the making of Nicola’s dress at the last minute, despite her excitement about wearing her design, which meant she had to urgently find a new dress.
“A few weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing over the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife and our future children.
“They insisted that I sign before my wedding date, because then the terms of the agreement would be initiated. My resistance affected payday, and they have never treated me the same way since.
“When planning the wedding, my mother went so far as to call me ‘mean’ because Nicola and I chose to include my nanny Sandra and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, as they both didn’t have their husbands.
“Both of our parents had their own table, also adjacent to ours.
“The day before our wedding, family members told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family’.
“From the moment I began defending myself with my family, I have received incessant attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, which were sent to the press on their orders.
“Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before finally blocking me out of nowhere last summer.
“My mother hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.
“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me on stage, where the program was scheduled for my romantic dance with my wife but instead, my mother was waiting to dance with me.
“She danced on me very inappropriately in front of everyone. I have never felt so uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.
“We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that would bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
“My family has always disrespected my wife, despite all the efforts we have made to become one.
“My mother repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
“Despite this, we still went to London for my father’s birthday and were stranded for a week while we waited in our hotel room trying to plan some quality time with him.
“He refused all our attempts, except for his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras on every corner.
“When he finally agreed to see me, it was on the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face.
“Later, when my family went to Los Angeles, they refused to see me.
“My family values public promotion and support above all else. The Beckham brand comes first.
Family “love” depends on how much you post on social media or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo shoot, even if it comes at the expense of our professional obligations.
“For years we’ve gone out of our way to be there and support every fashion show, party and press event to show off ‘our perfect family.’
“But the one time my wife asked for my mother’s support in rescuing displaced dogs in the Los Angeles fires, my mother refused.
“The narrative that my wife controls me is completely retrospective. I was controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety.
“For the first time in my life, since moving away from my family, that anxiety is gone. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I have chosen and have found peace and relief.
“My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, the press or manipulation.
“All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”
