The alleged Beckham family feud has continued to escalate since David’s birthday celebrations.

There have been rumours of fallouts ever since Brooklyn Beckham, 26, married Nicola Peltz, 30, three years ago, and speculation has mounted over the past few weeks.

The family have largely kept a dignified silence on whispers of an ongoing feud, despite plenty of apparent drama and cryptic social media posts.

Just this week, Brooklyn revealed around 70 of his 100 tattoos are dedicated to his wife.

‘She always cries when I get her another tattoo,” he told USA Today. ‘I always love to surprise her with new ink.’

We’ve got you covered with a timeline of the family feud, all the rumours, and how it all began – let’s take you through it.

In 2022, there were reports Nicola had refused to wear one of fashion icon Victoria’s designs for the big day.

‘No family is perfect. No family,’ she told the Sunday Times in October that year, explaining that she, her mother, Victoria and her longtime stylist were in a text chain discussing bridal designer ideas.

Victoria reportedly messaged Nicola’s mother to say her atelier wouldn’t be able to make the dress in time, and so they regrouped and ‘came up with something else’.

Last month, Cruz was forced to rubbish rumours his brothers were feuding after Romeo’s girlfriend Kim.

Fans have claimed she dated Brooklyn first, alleging it caused a rift between the siblings.

In a now-deleted message, one person commented on Romeo and Kim’s holiday snaps, ‘It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool’, but Cruz replied: ‘Brooklyn and Kim never dated.’

Brooklyn and Nicola miss David’s birthday

Rumours of a rift have only increased in this month, after Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend any of his dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

A source told Metro that Brooklyn is keen to patch things up with his father and was sad not to attend his big bash.

‘Brooklyn feels disappointed in himself for not attending David’s 50th birthday party,’ they said. ‘He wants things to go back to how they were, but it feels as if the divide has separated the family deeply.’

And an insider explained that Victoria was desperately hoping her son will ‘come around’.

‘She’s hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are,’ they said. ‘They’ve always been a close-knit family and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.’

It was recently claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle invited Brooklyn and Nicola to dinner to show their support.

It’s said they extended an ‘unexpected invite’ to the young couple, as they bonded over similar ‘toxic’ family experiences, as a source told The Sun that the quartet dined at the Sussexes’ £11million mansion in Montecito, California.

It’s claimed ‘Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar, while Meghan and Nicola found ‘common ground’ after both parties were accused of causing a rift in their husbands’ families.

Over the weekend Brooklyn appeared to take something of a dig at his parents, as he shared a video of himself and Nicola on Instagram with a caption vowing to always ‘choose [her]’.

He wrote: ‘My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.’

In response, Cruz posted a message dedicated to his mum, dad, and siblings on his own Instagram story.

The 20-year-old shared a photo of himself alongside David and Victoria, as well as Brooklyn, 22-year-old brother Romeo, and 13-year-old Harper.

In what fans believe was a display of whose side he’s on, he wrote: ‘I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.’
