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………

Talentless wannabees the pair, a bit like MM.

I think it’s the way they brought them up. They don’t seem to have been raised with the expectation of getting qualifications and normal jobs. I’m not sure the kids education was particularly prioritised. Maybe they thought sending them to expensive schools was enough.

Look at Gordon Ramsey & Jamie Oliver’s children for example. On the whole their kids seem to have normal jobs and both involved some of their children in their fame.

The Ramsays are close friends with the Beckams
The Ramsay’ kids appear to have direction . going to university , building a career independent of their parents , so what went wrong with the Beckam kids?
The three boys appear to have little direction .
The youngest son ( aged 20) is dating a thirty year old woman.
Brooklyn married early
It appears that all three of the boys are always involved in some sort of romantic relationship but don’t appear to use their privilege to do anything constructive with their lives

Let’s face it we all go through stages where we fall out with family. Nothing more than that except for the fact they are in the spotlight. I hope it all works out ok as he seemed so close to his family before.
maybe they were invited but their choice not to go 🤷‍♀️

Also did anyone see VB's hairdo at their wedding? I saw the photos again in the recent articles, it was embarrassing. Seriously if my 'fashion designer' millionaire MIL turned up to my wedding in her trademark nightie and with a mum bun with hair sticking out in all different directions, I'd know full where where I am in her pecking order and she'd not be at my future celebrations either 😂

Most brides would be too engrossed in enjoying the day and talking to their friends and family to notice (or care) what their MIL was wearing.

She and David should have put more emphasis on education and less on pap shots. Now their offspring are like youngsters who win a huge lottery win and no idea how to deal with it. Even rich kids need a purpose and their parents have fallen very short in that area.

I very much agree with this, they may be loving parents but they have appeared to have produced aimless, vacuous children who just want to be celebrities, considering the ambition, drive and talent David and Victoria have (particularly David on the talent front) it amazes me they appear happy to have children with none of this.

I had to Google it to settle my curiosity. He puts cucumber in it, which makes it "experimental" which is something he really enjoys doing with drinks. Apparently.

I see a PP also mentioned the infamous photography career so I think the thread needs the obligatory elephant masterpiece 🤦😂.

I’m laughing 😂

I just googled Nicolas mum she was a black jump/trouser suit with a jacket looked perfectly fine and matched VB simple style.

westcott · 12/08/2025 13:30

Probably because Nicola wanted some photos as a brunette instead. How many times are they going to renew over their lifetime 😂😂

But how do you know they were devoted parents? Did you live in their house?

We only see what they want us to see - the perfectly curated family - Brand Beckham. Unless you lived with them you do not know what goes on behind closed doors. None of us do.

All I know is that something serious has gone on and to have cut off your family- played out in full view of the media - is not nice. Was it justified? I guess we’ll never know. However he is going to be well and truly screwed once she’s milked his surname and publicity for all it’s worth and then spits him out. Confused

I imagine his parents are waiting quietly in the wings for this to happen. Because it will!

If your dad is effing other women (allegedly!) there's bound to be tension in the household.

ColourThief · 12/08/2025 13:33

Meh, they have the money and want to 🤷🏼‍♀️
Who cares?
Nobody’s business really, is it?

Nobody knows the reason for this feud either, so I don’t understand all this “Poor Posh” stuff when it could be that it’s entirely deserved.

I’ve cut out family members, entirely deservedly.
I reserve judgement until/if facts ever come out.

Focus on your own lives, maybe?

This thread oozes bitter jealousy.

The comparison with Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver’s families are missing one thing - in both cases there was a parent who (broadly) stayed out of the public eye. Tana Ramsey and Jools Oliver both had certain public projects but they generally kept themselves and their families private.

I am surprised the Beckhams haven’t kept their younger children’s lives more private

Yes, this is a key point. Jools Oliver and Tana Ramsay don’t totally give their young children privacy - I mean, I wince a bit when they post photos on social media, or wish them happy birthdays publicly, but then I’m of the view that you don’t post your children at all until they can consent - but neither of them are in the league the Beckhams are. It’s non stop with the Beckhams: the kids have been moulded into part of the brand. They’ve never known any other life and in this respect their parents have let them down dreadfully. I wonder how David and Victoria feel when they see the Ramsay kids achieving well in careers. It must be a stark comparison to their own children.

One of Jamie Oliver’s daughters was at the same university as my son at the same time and just seemed to have a normal student experience. From what he said people knew who she was but nothing was made of it. His other children and Gordon Ramsay’s also seem to have studied or found a vocation. Life without a purpose must be odd.

It’s all just very sad, family rifts are hard no matter how rich you are.

Astleyxyz · 12/08/2025 13:37

The House of Beckham by Tom Bowers is an interesting read. Lots about the alleged affairs, marriage of convenience, that sort of thing

Astleyxyz · 12/08/2025 13:38

The Ramsey’s son joined the Royal Marines, can’t imagine a Beckham boy doing that

SparklyGlitterballs · 12/08/2025 13:39

It's been documented, from sources who attended the original wedding, that what made Nicola cry was as follows:

Marc Anthony, a friend of the Beckhams, had agreed to perform at the wedding as a gift to the newlywed couple. They had a particular track picked out for one of their early dances together. On the night Marc got up on stage and summoned Brooklyn. Then he announced "The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up .... Victoria Beckham!"

This made NP cry and flee the room. She felt it was a deliberate act, orchestrated by VB.

ohyesido · 12/08/2025 13:41

I think the lad has no sense of self, lives in the shadow of his highly glamorous parents whilst being painfully aware that he’s inherited none of their beauty or charm. Making him very vulnerable to the claws of a certain young woman

If this is true, I don't blame NP for being upset. What a shitty thing to be said and to happen at your own wedding!

I don't see any jealousy here at all ... think everyone's pretty much united in saying they would not want the life of a Beckham

BlackStrayCat · 12/08/2025 13:54

I think he is insanely jealous of his own father and she of VB.

Cannot bear the press on all this rubbish. Two vacuous idiots.

Advocodo · 12/08/2025 13:54

I read that David Beckham was very keen on them getting a good education, maybe go to university but it was Victoria who said they didn’t need to as they would get offers of work, opportunities etc.

flippinflees · 12/08/2025 13:56

Peclet · 12/08/2025 12:48

very misguided and very short sighted to have pushed their like this.

didn’t the boys go to Haberdashers school?

it is entirely possible to live a private life out of the limelight. And so for BB and NP it is a choice.

Habs boys is known for not having the brightest or best.

Americano75 · 12/08/2025 13:57

I was on the fence until this. What a nasty little pair of spoilt brats. All that money but zero class.

I felt so sorry for VB yesterday, this latest kick in the teeth from her eldest and the fragrant Rebecca Loos popping up like the turd that won't flush, promoting her latest attempt at fame. Fucking hell.

To be fair, if true, that’s a pretty shitty thing to hear at your own wedding.

I don’t see that it was VB’s fault though.
