Brooklyn Beckham's new burger restaurant venture, "Becks Buns," is reportedly facing scrutiny and contributing to ongoing tensions within the prominent Beckham family. Sources indicate that David Beckham is particularly displeased with his son's use of the family name and the nickname "Becks" for his new business, especially given Brooklyn's reported estrangement from the family.
David Beckham is said to be furious, with insiders suggesting he feels Brooklyn is "deliberately taking the p*ss" by capitalizing on the "Posh and Becks" brand recognition while simultaneously refusing to communicate with his father. The venture, which is planned for the US, is reportedly being financially backed by Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz, and her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz. This new enterprise is described as a long-held dream for Brooklyn, who has also launched his own hot sauce brand.
The rift within the Beckham family is believed to have intensified around Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz's 2022 wedding. Reports suggest that an incident involving Victoria Beckham and a planned dance at the ceremony left Nicola Peltz in tears and exacerbated the strain on relationships. Brooklyn himself has recently commented on the persistent rumors, stating that people "always talk nonsense" and emphasizing the support he receives from his wife.
Further complicating family dynamics, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz were notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in May 2025. While David celebrated with close friends and other family members, Brooklyn and Nicola, despite reportedly being in the UK at the time, did not attend. Victoria Beckham's Father's Day tributes in June 2025, which included a video of the family singing and tagged all her children, were seen by some as a subtle attempt at reconciliation amidst reports that Brooklyn had "cut all ties" with his parents.
Adding another layer to the family's complexities, Romeo Beckham and Kim Turnbull reportedly ended their relationship in the spring of 2025. Their breakup occurred amidst reports of tension between Brooklyn and his family, with some speculating that Brooklyn's absence from David's birthday celebration was due to Kim Turnbull's presence, given a rumored past connection between Brooklyn and Kim. However, sources close to Romeo stated their breakup was amicable and unrelated to any alleged family feud. Kim Turnbull, a model and DJ, has been rumored to have had a past connection with Brooklyn Beckham, though this has not been officially confirmed, and Cruz Beckham has reportedly denied such a relationship.
