what’s going on with Brooklyn Beckham?

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………

No way - you don’t want to draw attention to your school for a start and these schools take a very dim view of parents speaking to the press

xref myleene klass - she was spoken to by the head and asked not to refer to other parents/kids in the public domain - even unnamed

These things get out, cleaners/housekeepers other friends. If really true papers would investigate & then darkly hint. ‘Affable DB attends PT conf in maserati’ etc. Perhaps they have.

There were at the time - the school had already asked them to be subtle at drop off etc but I remember seeing pics because I recognised the uniform and that’s when my friend mentioned they were in the same class

as a pp said - the main players have no interest in this coming out and the other people aware of it have no hard evidence so it’s just hearsay and I wouldn’t have thought the papers would want to do more than hint in those conditions

jallyj · 15/08/2025 11:20

surely the press would be all over this like a hot rash? If true, it would be bigger than the Rebecca Loos story.

Not if there is an injunction

If true how come the Mail etc haven’t at least done a ‘hinting at truth’ story as per Elton John etc.

Possibly in this case because whatever the impact on DB you can’t say exposing such allegations is sufficiently in the public interest given the potential impact on HB (and her then classmates, other children at the school etc).

Potentially an injunction that would make the point above?

Lots info doesn’t make the press not just because of PR deals but also weighing up the public interest argument vs detrimental impact to individuals (most usually and especially children).

Isn’t part of the working class lazy stereotype that the man plays around but loves his wife, the devoted, matriarch unconditionally, (?) DB’s father apparently played around so that’s the example set too.

Permeates all classes but portrayed differently in the press if you're Lord Snowdon.

Yep, was going to add also an aristo thing, being an all round decent brick & turning a blind eye, only a whore etc. The aristo always used to keep things v separate, ‘show girls’ in London, etc. Christine Keelers bio very interesting on the ‘stage door’.

RoseTulips2023 · 15/08/2025 11:31

I know a guy who is in David Beckham's circle. About 5 or 6 years ago - at the time the story about the DB affair with the member of the teaching staff was being spoken about - he was saying that he thought DB was popular enough that people wouldn't believe it. He also said that VB was 'punching above her weight' implying that she had no cause to object to his behaviour.

Rubyupbeat · 15/08/2025 11:40

Very sad for his little sister, I think.

BearBehavingBadly · 15/08/2025 12:58

Injunction or super injunction many of them get found out in the end.

Bambamhoohoo · 15/08/2025 13:28

I honestly don’t think you can get injunctions that last this length of time, I can’t see new ones being granted for these situations or “papers” being that interested in fighting to publish it in these days of reduced tabloid popularity.

this whole conversation seems firmly stuck in 2014.

the most likely answer to me is that he doesn’t have other children. Affairs wise, the house of Beckham is a good reminder at the multiple women who did sell stories on him over the years. They weren’t silenced.

but I also think it’s less attractive to sell shagging stories all round.
Today They’re not worth much money, nothing like the £100, £200k women used to expect. The internet provides a permanent record of your story so you can’t move past it for job interviews etc. it just really isn’t as common now.

Bruisername · 15/08/2025 13:33

Google it and it comes up - Aussie news liked it!

I don’t think shagging around is such a good angle these days and the press love the pap shots and the family angle as they think that sells papers.

it’s only relevant in that the family facade with deeply unhappy parents behind it may be part of why Brooklyn has stepped back. Maybe a few years distance and life experience will bring him back to them

Bambamhoohoo · 15/08/2025 13:36

What are you googling? I’ve googled “Beckham secret child Australia” and am just getting his trips to oz

what’s going on with Brooklyn Beckham?
soupyspoon · 15/08/2025 13:39

Yes 2 pages of google results shows nothing about any apparent secret Australian child

Bruisername · 15/08/2025 13:45

Oh I don’t believe the secret child. Just the affair with the teacher

Bambamhoohoo · 15/08/2025 13:51

Google did return this from 2018:

From this weeks popbitch newsletter
^If you were anywhere near the internet last Friday, you'll almost certainly have heard the big Beckham rumour that was all over social media.
It struck us as being pretty unlikely though as a very similar story did the rounds in early 2016, suggesting that Harper was having to change schools because David had had an affair with one of the teachers there and got them pregnant.
Of course, it's possible that these two stories are one and the same. A two year pregnancy is perfectly plausible. If Harper had been taught by an African Bush Elephant. And David Beckham had shagged it.^

Bruisername · 15/08/2025 13:58

She did change prep school - which is unusual given the one she started at.

the regurgitating of the story a couple of years later was probably just the rumour doing the rounds again. It seems to have been all over twitter.

There's apparently one super injunction in place, it can't be reported on (my guess not about a footballer). But the MOD took one out to stop the reporting on the fact that a load of Afghan interpretors details had been exposed.

But like Giggs and Terry who both tried to use them to cover their affairs, I'm sure Beckham has too. Those who are rich enough will do all they can to protect their image.

And then the other ex footballer who pretends to be some great family man, who was cheating on his dying wife with his mistress who has now become his next wife and is step mother to the children of women who she obviously had no respect for even as she was dying.

At least Wayne Rooney doesn't try to hide the fact that he's cheated.

Bambamhoohoo · 15/08/2025 14:01

Also what I never get about the billions of people who know someone who went to school with HB and know about the situation and are outraged at the teacher leaving (how absolute crap are the school that this all got out to parents btw)-

being a teacher and having an affair with a students parent is OUTRAGEOUS. Absolutely appalling behaviour and if true a strong indicator that said teacher couldn’t care less about her students or professional responsibilities. Absolutely outrageous. He might be married but what she’s “done”
in that situation is far, far worse.

Bruisername · 15/08/2025 14:04

Agree the teacher was extremely unprofessional but my friend thought she was a good teacher and her daughter liked her so she was annoyed to have to change teacher - whoever’s fault

its hard to keep things away from parents at small schools though

like the prep where a y6 walked in on the head and deputy head (both married to other people). hard to cover that one up

That's probably because dunce Wayne is too thick to cover his tracks.
It's slimey deceit to use the law as wealth allows to hide sleazy behaviour.

Gowlett · 15/08/2025 14:17

Her & her mum just wanted another party.
The dad just pays, Brooklyn just turns up.

Bit like the first multi-million dollar wedding.
To which his mum wore her nightdress…

These people live on a different plane to us.
Though, Posh & Becks had humble starts.

But Giggs and Terry did that a decade ago. Would they do it now?!

I imagine they would if you're a cunt you're a cunt regardless of the year.

Sorry I should’ve said- it’s just not a thing now is it? The courts have taken a more responsible approach that arguing about a whether the public know a football cheated really isn’t important.

post Weinstein injunctions are a pariah really, it’s not cool to use them to silence women
