The full story of the Beckham family drama at the beginning of 2026: The eldest son “cuts ties” in writing, blocking the entire family.
The Beckham family’s tensions have only just begun in 2026, and things have only gotten more complicated.
Once a golden symbol of family unity, the Beckham family is entering 2026 with a shocking media crisis. No longer just rumors of a rift, the relationship between David and Victoria and their eldest son, Brooklyn, has officially frozen, marked by legal and social media actions that effectively sever ties.
Brooklyn Beckham Cuts Off His Family
At the start of the new year, the public was stunned by the news that Brooklyn Beckham had established a complete separation from his parents. According to The Sun, the 26-year-old model and chef officially sent a document through his legal team, requesting that David and Victoria only be allowed to contact him through his lawyer.
This is considered the biggest shock for Victoria Beckham – who has always strived to build an image of a model, united family. Turning family conversations into bureaucratic procedures demonstrates that the breakdown has spiraled out of control and can no longer be resolved through ordinary advice.

Brooklyn Beckham Blocks Parents and Siblings Online
The tension didn’t just stop at legal documents; it exploded publicly on social media, the very stage where the Beckham family had been happy for decades.
Public opinion erupted when fans discovered Brooklyn had unfollowed all his family members. His youngest brother, Cruz Beckham, then inadvertently confirmed a harsh truth: it wasn’t his parents who abandoned him, but his older brother who had proactively blocked David, Victoria, and his siblings. At the same time, Nicola Peltz – Brooklyn’s wife – also severed ties with her personal social media accounts, deleting all photos and memories related to her husband’s family, including previous affectionate messages from her mother-in-law.
Hopeless attempts at reconciliation
Earlier, on New Year’s Eve 2026, former football star Beckham posted a touching old photo of his son with the caption: “Dad loves you.”
However, this effort seemed to be met with indifference, with rumors circulating that Brooklyn was tired of his parents’ public displays of affection, believing it was merely an attempt to protect the “Brand Beckham” brand instead of resolving the core conflicts. Meanwhile, Victoria was reportedly “completely devastated” by Brooklyn’s refusal to communicate with the family.
While his relationship with his family has soured, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz’s marriage is stronger than ever. On Nicola’s 31st birthday on January 9th, Brooklyn showered his wife with praise on social media: “Happy birthday, my angel. Every day with you is a gift. I am the luckiest man in the world.” The couple are currently enjoying life in million-dollar mansions in the US, fully integrated into the city’s elite.
