what’s going on with Brooklyn Beckham?

[jallyj]

so he’s done a vow renewal after only getting wed in 2022 and none of his siblings or parents were there, just seems to have been organised by his billionaire wife’s parents. It looks like a very deliberate fuck you to his family. What can they have done to deserve such shocking treatment? It’s bizarre. And let’s hope the marriage to the (reportedly prickly, hard work) billionaire works, so he doesn’t have to come crawling back to Mum and Dad………

Now their PR parenting is coming home to roost and their wish to be among the elite has backfired spectacularly.

I totally agree and I don’t feel sorry for Posh and Becks one bit. Their marriage seems like a sham to me, their obsession with their public image is truly tragic to the extent that they have been willing to sacrifice any chance of their children having normal childhoods and growing up with a sense of what is truly important in life.

This situation is simply a boiling pot of not very nice people with questionable values being mixed together. I’ve no doubt that the Beckhams would have been wetting themselves over their son being involved with such a wealthy, high profile family and likely encouraged him to be with the girl for no reasons other than money or status. I remember thinking at the time they got married and read about her questionable past (which sensible, more intelligent parents would have advised their offspring to steer away from) that this would one day bite them on the arse and lo behold it has. I’m surprised that it’s happened so quickly though.

I thought this. Karma

Oh the privilege! With everything going on in the world today and that's all they have to occupy themselves. Dear me!

David and Victoria must be heart-broken and all this does is rub their nose it it, how far their son has drifted away and the rift he is creating between them, including with his siblings. David in particular is really strong on family values, so it must be hitting him like a ton of bricks.

Absolutely. We're all making it up as we go along, aren't we. None of us actually know these people or live their lives day to day so most of what's written here and in the Daily Fail is bits of information pieced together with assumptions not unlike Harry and Megs 😂

The Beckhams seem to have followed the Royal PR strategy of keeping their children in the public eye, so the public in general become invested in them as people as they grow older. It continues to offer their children options in the future, to at least stay relevant.

If you feel all you have to offer the world is fame simply for being born into a certain family - then it’s not a terrible strategy if their PR team have considered the genetic likely IQ level of each child is unlikely to be mind blowing, even with the best education money can buy, there might be an upper ceiling to their natural achievements, attainment and career options.

Given they are unlikely to become philosophers, consultants or leading lights in any industry maybe the advice they have been given is actually correct. Influencers will top up their savings, and provide an easy life. Vacuous. Empty. Lacking any real meaning maybe - but nonetheless much admired in some circles and with the young.

Gordon Ramsay has a similar outlook I suspect. The world is changing, and I am sure both families pay a great deal of money for professional advice.

We were at a party a while back and Princess Anne and other notable artists were there etc my dd didn’t care at all, and only noted the arrival of a well known influencer. It reminded me that my values, interests etc will not be shared by future generations. Being able to ‘influence’ potentially millions of people has a power of its own I suppose. I just can’t bear the insincerity, the fake and the abject loss of critical thought and meaning.

Maybe the children just aren’t very bright though? Their parents are incredibly successful but neither seem like serious academic material so it’s not necessarily an option for the kids to study to a high level.

Seems like peevish attention seeking, how hurtful for his parents.

I’ve never heard this, what was the law suit about?

Vow renewal after 3 years. Death knell of a relationship. Remember Seal and Heidi Klum?

I wouldn’t say Gordon Ramsey had a similar attitude to keeping his kids in the limelight growing up. I’ve always known the Beckham kids names due to media stories, not known the Ramsey kids names.

i suspect overall Gordon Ramsey had to graft harder to get to where he is and his money and fame came later in his life than it did for the beckhams. I’m not saying that you don’t have to work hard/put the hours in to be a good footballer but if you have a natural talent and enjoy football it doesn’t really compare with early starts and late nights chopping veg as a junior chef.

Maybe the Ramsey kids have picked up that work ethic. Whereas David played football for a job and Victoria posed around on stage looking sulky. It’s not the same.

There was a takedown of them in airmail which broke down allegations in the lawsuit, it was a thing of beauty

I think Brooklyn has had low status within his family where good looks are prized almost above all else. He’s not the best looking & without much flair or charisma it seems then suddenly he’s with the beautiful daughter of a billionaire, he’s winning! This feels good especially as his career to date has failed & meant he’s been widely mocked & disrespected.

He’s out of his league with Nicola & Peltz clan so has to do everything they/she want or risk losing her & the only thing that he’s ever won at re: power & status.

I was just thinking yesterday how he's the best looking out of the three boys. Admittedly, that's not saying much.

One may also apply this logic to Harry and Meghan. You don’t realise how fucked up your family is until you meet someone outside of it.

You might be right & I think he’s had tweakments in recent years too, but not sure he has the brothers easier, sporty confidence. He seems decent, pleasant, nice & polite but some see him as a bit wet I think. He lacks confidence.

I think he's comes across as the most likeable out of all the children too. He at least had friends (Rocco Ritchie was one, I think Jude Law's children were part of that group too) that you saw him with. You never see any of the others with friends, just girlfriends or their parents.

The other boys are all failed at what they wanted to do too. Romeo the wannabe tennis player/footballer depending on day of the week. He's no David, or Andy Murray. And Cruz was meant to be a singer. They just won't leave the clutches of their meal tickets.

Yes, but neither Brooklyn and Nicola nor Harry and Meghan seem able to stop playing the game.

Both Harry and Brooklyn have apparently married people who want the spotlight of fame.

We all have friends who can’t move for putting it on social media and portraying an image that is totally at odds with their actual lives, yet the hype persists. This is the Beckham family at scale.

DB is alleged to be an adulterer with a brilliant legal team. VB is insecure but understands Brand Beckham. She is said to be the nice half of the pair and genuine fun.

The kids have been brought up as part of the social media circus but with multi generational wealth, why not? If they lived quiet lives with their millions, no-one would look twice. But the continued brand effort requires the entire family it seems.

My sense is that BB has woken up to the dysfunction in his family and is bitter about growing up in the public eye. I see him fading into the background over time. I also don’t see the rift healing which is enabled because he married a billionaire’s daughter. If she had no money, they wouldn’t have the funds to spin off.

I hadn’t quite seen that the money BB married into has given him freedom away from his family. Of course he now doesn’t need to rely on them any longer…

interesting, I’m thinking about this and there may be something in it but not sure. I don’t think he wants to fade into the background as he seems very happy still to promote himself in social media, etc. so I don’t think it’s that.

I agree possibly as he’s got older he’s decided his family is dysfunctional and has decided to pull away. We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. You’d like to think he’d be mature enough to think well his parents did his best and love him very much even if they didn’t get everything right (in his eyes). Have a conversation maybe rather than ditching them? But maybe he’s tried? Maybe any behaviour carries on now with how he feels he’s treated as an adult?

Or he’s just shallow enough to follow the money/next meal ticket and happy to drop anyone including his own family. He posted on social media recently a very vomit inducing message to Nicola , something along the lines of “I choose you baby, it’s always me and you”. Does he feel he has to make a choice (between her and his parents), who’s making him feel he has to choose…..his parents or her? Maybe his parents have slagged her off to him? Who knows. Or maybe he’s been seriously controlled by Nicola (and her parents).

Poor nepo baby Brooklyn..like a fly trapped in a spiders web. I read an article a while ago about them and it seems Nicola definitely wears the trousers

Although if they were photographed out with their peers, it would all be about spoilt holidaying/ partying rich kids. I guess Victoria and David also worry about the drink and drugs that is so easy an option.

‘Is her father qualified to renew their vows?’ Surely it’s just a matter of reading words from a piece of paper as there’s nothing legally binding about a wedding renewal?

Agree that VB seems to have leaned on Brooklyn a lot. I know someone who had a daughter in the girls class and there was an issue between the teacher and DB which meant the teacher left half way through the year. The kids know more than the public about their parents marriage and for the oldest that can be tough. And it’s also tough having to be 2 people from a young age - the private person and the public face that needs to put on the happy face all the time.

I think his family have been very controlling of his image and he’s been quite lost. He’s married someone a bit older (after dating older women before) because he probably lacks confidence in himself and needs someone who will take control. Whether that’s healthy or not who knows.

he’s had the opportunity to follow his dreams (like photography) but hasn’t had the guidance to understand where his talents lie.

Lots of interesting stuff on tattle about this lot
