Brooklyn Beckham Digitally Severs Ties with Family Ahead of Holiday Season

Familial tensions involving Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, have escalated as reports confirm the eldest son and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have blocked the core Beckham family unit on social media platforms. This action, which includes blocking David, Victoria, and brother Cruz, is set to define the 2025 Christmas holiday, as the couple reportedly plans to remain in Miami with Nicola's family rather than joining the Beckhams at their traditional Cotswolds residence.

The foundation of this protracted rift is widely attributed to friction that escalated following Brooklyn and Nicola's high-profile 2022 wedding. The current digital isolation marks a significant development, coming after the couple missed several key family milestones throughout 2025. Notably, Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David Beckham's lavish 50th birthday celebration in May 2025, which included an event in Miami on March 30 and a formal dinner party at London's Core restaurant on May 3.

The situation gained public clarity when younger brother Cruz Beckham addressed the social media fallout. Cruz refuted initial claims that David and Victoria had initiated any unfollowing, clarifying on his Instagram Stories that the reality was more severe: his parents "woke up blocked," a status that also applied to himself. Sources close to David and Victoria have characterized Brooklyn's action as definitive evidence of a 'complete estrangement,' viewing the social media block as the removal of their 'last connection' to their eldest son.

This pre-holiday division is further contextualized by earlier family events. David Beckham was officially knighted as Sir David by King Charles III at Windsor Castle on November 4, 2025, an event Brooklyn and Nicola also missed. Reports suggest Brooklyn may have been irritated by his mother Victoria's public display of support, specifically after she 'liked' a recent cooking tutorial video he posted, which reportedly led to the blocking of the entire family, including sister Harper.

The couple is reportedly content focusing on their life in Miami, with Brooklyn recently sharing imagery from his billionaire in-laws' property. This development solidifies the current state of division within the family as the rest of the family prepares for the holidays at the £10 million Cotswolds estate.
