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………

I doubt this- they would’ve mainly just been paps selling photos to the highest bidder, not able to make deals on behalf of media outlets.

there was a story at the beginning of their relationship that he kissed (🙄) another woman and she was quite open about punching him in the face - later said it’s not a “sending off” offence. Maybe thinking of that? (And imagine how that confession of domestic violence would be received now 🙈)

it seems like they sometimes were in the tabloids favour, sometimes not, generally based on their people’s relationship with whomever was editor at the time and whether that editor was interested in them or not to sell papers.

the ski chalet situation- being generous, it looks like what we know was a well versed “deal” the papps offered- give us one or two photos and we’ll go away and leave you in peace.

Ironically caught on camera being done to prince harry and family when he was a child.

Personally I think V should leave D re: all his affairs as he doesn't respect her.
But sometimes you can't help who you love & maybe for all her riches & successes she's a bit scared - after all you only have to read the relationships board to see how cheating and/or abusive men leave even the strongest woman's confidence in tatters.

There's definitely a man out there would love & cherish & stay faithful to Victoria & she deserves this.
Though she might had had enough of blokes!

I’d say they are far more famous than the P family in the US.

The spice girls were very successful in the US.

DB played in LA and is a co-owner of inter Miami’s.

He’s done a lot of US PR for the above as well as being the face of some high profile brands.

VB’s clothes have been worn on the red carpet by some A list celebrities and she’s good friends with Eva Longoria.

The P’s may outclipse them in wealth but the B’s do the reverse in terms of fame.

The peltz family aren’t “famous” at all- they’re business people, socialites.

the Beckhams genuinely aren’t that well known. The stuff you talk about is marginal- think of all the designers who celebs have worn on the red carpet- are they famous? Do you know them just because say Kristen Davies wears them to premiers? The spice girls were 30 years ago!
they are known- in some respects, and some circles but famous, genuinely not.

It shifted when D realised he could have his cake and eat it; I imagine he lost all respect for V when she took him back after the Loos affair. Which happened because by then he had become a monster fuelled by his own deluded ego.

I think N is pregnant and that's the reason for the vow renewal.

I think she has coordinated the fall out between the Beckham's and their son. Men always get absorbed into the woman's family.

Or the opposite - she’s not pregnant and the vow renewals are a filler while they’re trying.

I think the vow renewals are for (press) attention

They desperately trying to keep a high profile

@RitaAndFrank I agree
DB doesn’t appear to respect his wife and always looks mildly irritated by her
I honestly think that she would be happier in the long run if she left him

I imagine he lost all respect for V when she took him back after the Loos affair.

And all the others before and since - she thought she was ‘the cool wife’ saying ‘it’s not a sending off offence’ when he was caught ‘kissing’ 🤔another woman - so much for ‘girl power’.

Recall a few years ago it was reported in national press that the Beckhams threw the daughter a birthday party at Buckingham Palace (via one of Andrew’s daughters I think). Posh posted pictures all over IG and Stella McCartnet was furious as her daughter was on them and made her remove them.
Few years later it was Stella 50th at a fancy hotel- press reported guests were ‘stunned’ to be presented with a bill for their room/over night stay. Always wondered who might have leaked that non story!

They definitely think Nicola is famous. It was part of the law suit against the wedding planners - it was argued that the wedding was "the opportunity of a lifetime" because

"Nicola is a world-famous actress who has starred in blockbuster movies and television shows, including, among others, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Bates Motel and The Last Airbender,".

(Never having watched any of these films and having been previously unaware of her work, I'm not in a position to comment)

I don’t like the whole ‘women pull their husbands away from their family’ as if the husband is some passive pawn. Families need to accept that the reason it tends to be the wife’s family that is closer is because the husband cba to put the same effort with his own

men have a choice to maintain a relationship with their family and ensure it all works. In cases like Harry, I don’t think his wife is keen on his family or bothered by extended family links but the ultimate decision to break away and burn the bridges was his

@Bruisername I agree
Brooklyn is where he wants to be atm.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one who instigated the break up with his family
It is so easy to blame the woman when the reality is ( as you said) men often cba to make the effort with their own families when they marry

At what price? Nelson P in renewal photos akin to Godfather laying down conditions/rules. Where does BB get money from? Beckham allowance? If Peltz Sr giving ££ no such thing as free lunch, or house etc.

I can see parallels with Colleen Rooney. Slightly different as she was just a school girl when she met Wayne, but she has stuck by him while he has behaved appallingly.

They are also all about family but she does seem to be bringing her kids up quietly and she’s carved out a career on her terms.

I feel, with v famous men that the wife feels her identity is wrapped around him (even if she is famous too). Let’s face it, if Vic left him, David would get himself a much younger, hotter, girlfriend as quick as a flash. They would then be the tabloid’s obsession, they might even have kids together so David can reinvent himself again.

Vic is left looking like the older, redundant first wife. She has worked way too hard and looked the other way too many times to let that happen.

They are a brand and she’s sticking to it. That’s why Brooklyn throwing a curve ball like this must be causing headaches (not just the emotional loss).

I think Marina Hyde’s article mentioned a VB documentary on Netflix, with DB as exec producer. How will they address the Brooklyn problem?

It may all have blown over by then (?) Or they’ll be a party line. Who will the other boys marry? Current girlfriends & will dynamics be much simpler. (?)

I hope the other boys wait until they’re significantly older to get married. BB was very young and I think that’s part of the problem.

Not really, VB was 23 & DB 24.

@crossedlines although I don’t disagree feels young but it’s a norm.

If the point of the marriage was to become a Beckham though, surely you'd need to be seen with the Beckhams?

Unless she feels that that has been done & her & Brooklyn are well known enough to "go it alone"?

Supposedly Guy Ritchie, Tom Cruise & Eva Longoria were at DB's 50th in London!

Spoken like a bitter mother!

It's always the wife's fault when the son decides he doesn't want to see his family. The horrible new wife taken away the precious son, the wife is pulling the strings! 🙄

Never the result of a dysfunctional family, or over possessive mother.

Yes I know it’s the norm among footballers to marry and have kids young, and I expect more likely their children will follow the pattern. My point is that I think it’s part of the problem. How can you know at age 21/ 22 who you want to have a life long partnership with? It also probably increases the chances of a partner playing around. If DB had had longer to sleep around before marrying, he’d maybe be able to keep it in his trousers afterwards. Possibly!

I always wonder what we’ll be saying about the Beckhams in 20 years (sad I know!) but they have been in the public eye best part of 30 years.
I do wonder when they will just give up up and “retire” and whether they’ll stay together or care about the brand then. Suspect it’s not coming (if at all) for a good decade due to Harpers age. I mean surely they will become irrelevant at some point?!

Yes, completely agree.
