The Beckham family has always been football royalty meets fashion empire, but lately, their empire feels more Game of Thrones than Spice World. What began as a glittering love story between Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz has spiraled into a saga of dress drama, blocked Instagrams, and suspiciously empty family photos.
From missed weddings and shade-filled captions to the kind of polite smiles you give at awkward dinners, the Beckhams have mastered the art of looking united while unfollowing each other online. In the world of celebrity feuds, this one is especially juicy: it’s part soap opera, part fashion week gossip, and part group chat meltdown. For fans, it’s a reminder that behind every polished Vogue spread is a family deciding who gets left out of the holiday card. Now, grab your tea, because this feud has layers worthy of a Victoria Beckham gown.
Act 1 - The Dress That Launched a Thousand Side-Eyes
It all started in April 2022, when Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz tied the knot in a ceremony that was supposed to unite football and fashion dynasties. But instead of walking down the aisle in a Victoria Beckham original, Nicola went full couture rebel in a Valentino gown. This wasn’t just a fashion choice, it was Beckham family politics stitched in silk. Reports swirled that Victoria’s team was working on a dress, then suddenly, it wasn’t happening, with “logistical issues” cited like a badly timed press release.
Adding fuel, singer Marc Anthony, hired to serenade the couple, chose to dedicate a song to Victoria instead of the newlyweds. Nicola reportedly cried, whether from emotion or the realization she’d just been upstaged by her mother-in-law is still up for debate. Overnight, whispers of a rift turned into a tabloid feeding frenzy. Family insiders started talking about “creative differences,” but fans knew, this was the first crack in the Beckham-Peltz glossy façade.
Act 2 - Brothers in (Instagram) Arms
The plot thickened when Romeo Beckham began dating model Kim Turnbull, who just happened to be an ex-flame of Brooklyn’s. That’s right, Romeo was casually strolling through his brother’s romantic past like it was a vintage shop. Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t exactly thrilled, and soon the unfollowing began.
Romeo hit the ‘unfollow’ button on Brooklyn and Nicola, posting cryptic captions like ‘Family is everything’ with photos of… everyone but Brooklyn. It was a digital diss worthy of its own Netflix doc. Suddenly, the Beckham brothers weren’t the grinning squad from the family Christmas photo, they were passive-aggressively deleting each other from their online lives. To the public, it was petty Instagram drama; to the Beckhams, it was modern-day warfare fought with likes, tags, and strategic cropping. Behind the scenes, friends claimed it was about loyalty, history, and maybe a little competitive sibling energy. But publicly? The silence was louder than any football stadium cheer.

Act 3 - Milestone Moments, Noticeably Missing Faces
May 2025 rolled around with two major Beckham milestones: David turned 50, and Victoria unveiled another collection at fashion week. Normally, this would mean a family front row moment or an all-smiles birthday bash. Instead, Brooklyn and Nicola were conspicuously absent from both. No matching tuxes, no red carpet hugs, no proud Instagram posts, just a glaring absence where the eldest Beckham and his wife should have been.
The tabloids went into overdrive, speculating whether the absence was scheduling conflicts or a deliberate snub. Rumors swirled that Brooklyn’s bond with David was “strained,” with some sources claiming it now felt more like a business partnership than a father-son relationship. Meanwhile, Victoria seemed to lean harder into her tight circle with Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, posting wholesome family moments that were as notable for who was there as for who wasn’t. It was like watching a group selfie where someone’s been Photoshopped out.
Act 4 - The Block Heard Round the World
If unfollowing is the warning shot, blocking is the nuclear option, and by mid-2025, the Beckham-Peltz relations had reached DEFCON 1. Brooklyn and Nicola unfollowed and were allegedly blocked by Romeo and Cruz, effectively cutting the social media cord. This wasn’t just a glitch or an accidental tap; this was curated, intentional digital exile.
Victoria and David stayed more neutral, avoiding the blocking spree, but the message was clear: the family group chat was probably deader than Victoria’s smile when someone mentions tracksuits. Fans began sleuthing, checking tags, mentions, and old photos like social media detectives piecing together a crime scene. Theories flew about heated arguments, loyalty tests, and a general feeling that ‘too much was said.’ In Beckhamland, blocking isn’t just about Instagram, it’s a public declaration that you’ve been demoted from inner circle to outer orbit.
Act 5 - Lovebirds on Their Own Island
August 2025 brought the most decisive move yet: Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows in a private ceremony, far from the paparazzi, and even farther from any immediate Beckham family member. The pictures were stunning, couture gowns, tailored suits, a cake that probably cost more than a small car, but the empty family seats were impossible to ignore. David did toss a faint olive branch by liking one of Brooklyn’s Instagram reels, but whether that was a peace offering or just a stray tap remains unclear.
Romeo, meanwhile, revealed a new tattoo reading C’est la vie, which fans interpreted as “Life goes on… without certain people at the table.” The couple seemed content in their own orbit, posting loved-up shots that doubled as a quiet “We’re fine” to the world. As for the Beckhams as a whole? This clash feels less like a one-off argument and more like a rebrand, two glittering dynasties now running in parallel, occasionally acknowledging each other across the digital divide.
