Has anyone seen his recent statement on Instagram? I actually feel very sorry for him.

His statement honestly totally changed how I viewed the whole thing.

The Peltzes are obviously nightmares in their own right, but what Brooklyn wrote is also entirely believable. Just seems like he's gone from the frying pan into the fire.

I was waiting for him to mention David’s affair/s for the ultimate microphone drop. It was the only thing that was missing.

Didn't Victoria also have an affair?
There were certainly rumours that she was "close" to another man 😉

That first dance stuff is utterly mad. Imagine being so main character that you take the wife’s place in the first dance. Bonkers.

Poundshop Prince Harry vibes

Look, I didn't even read the statement,
but I thought someone would comment on it here.
Whilst Brooklyn Beckham has everything - materially, he didn't choose his parents. Yes, he's a brat, a "Nepo baby", whatever that means, but -
the man is probably struggling to work out who he even is. Hopefully, he will end up well.

Jimpson · 19/01/2026 19:38

Your name is on your birth certificate, the parents don’t own the child’s name so I can’t guess what that is about!? All in all it is very troubling to see these celebs parading their children all over social media and the press. Pretty obvious that there is a lot of potential for damage with this behaviour.

TheignT · 19/01/2026 19:38

What are his professional obligations?

inkognitha · 19/01/2026 19:39

That’s his Oprah interview moment.
He’s pulling a Harry, but I m afraid he’s jumping from one dysfunctional environment to another.

OneOfEachPlease · 19/01/2026 19:39

I feel sorry for him. And we’re only gonna hear more tales like this. Brooklyn Beckham was effectively one of the first influencer children pimped out to make their parents money/more money. There’ll be more cases like this coming.

YourBrickTiger · 19/01/2026 19:35

Hmmm. Wonder would he be as brave if his wife wasn’t a millionaire?

I did wonder that too 🤣 But he was never going to marry Janice from Tesco was he?

As an aside, and all joking aside wgat the fuck do you do as a young married couple with no particular talent (as most of us dont) when you are born into a wealth beyond most people’s dreams. I don’t think it’s actually as great as people think. Most people need structure, or a hunger to achieve something whatever that may be and these 2 seem to have neither which is actually very sad.

There are two sides to every story and tbh I'm taking this with a pinch of salt

You should never thrust your dc into the spotlight from birth and make them your brand.

sofiamofia · 19/01/2026 19:23

I feel sorry for him after reading that.

It's a word to the wise to all the influencers that use their own children on their accounts.

Absolutely. I wonder if any will give up money to preserve their privacy.

Haha I had the exact same thought. Filming cooking tiktoks?

Did she?! I think their marriage is one of fame convenience now, at least on his part.

frugalkitty · 19/01/2026 19:41

I feel sorry for him after reading all of that. Nothing like washing your dirty washing in public, but if what he says is true I hope he's found happiness with his wife and he can make a life away from the family.

IAmKerplunk · 19/01/2026 19:42

Espressosummer · 19/01/2026 19:38

A bit odd to claim you and your wife want privacy when you both constantly post online about every aspect of your life.

I wonder if he would be so quick to distance himself from his family if his wife wasn't an heiress to a billionaire's fortune?

Genuinely how else can they earn their own money independently? They have both been cornered into this role by both their dysfunctional families

Yeah because they might turn around and use that limelight to slate you all over their public social media page with 16million followers all gained from who his parents are.

nomoreforks · 19/01/2026 19:43

I feel really sorry for him. No idea what the actual truth is but it sounds like he is having a tough time.

DeathBanana · 19/01/2026 19:43

How unseemly.

he might have to get a job now

ReturnOfTheToad · 19/01/2026 19:37

But she just wanted to help stray dogs 🥹, quite why she needed VBs help when her Dad's a billionaire is beyond me. Get him to stick his hand in his pocket for you and you could house all of the stray dogs in America.

The Victoria Beckham name and the amount of followers she has on say Instagram would gain more traction than Nelson Peltz.

KidsDoBetter · 19/01/2026 19:44

In fairness not sure it was the ACTUAL first dance - just a dance later in the night. There had been a father daughter dance earlier

Wonderknicks · 19/01/2026 19:44

I can't see it on his Instagram? Has it been removed or am I looking in the wrong place?

It’s on his story

pouletvous · 19/01/2026 19:44

He didn’t write that.

Who would have thought Victoria Beckham was a bad mother?

Would a good mother expose her dc to fame?
