Going NC with your parents is a fad, it’s like declaring yourself as trans five years ago. It’s a way of getting attention and making yourself feel a bit special. They’ll all grow out of it.

I’m not NC with anyone but what a thing to post. Do you have dc?

All seems very petty to me. Nothing worth shaming your Mum in front of the world for. Bob Geldof's daughters have normal jobs, he could have jumped off the gravy train once he was grown but he wants all the luxury and none of the responsibility. He'll be sorry one day

But NPB told Vogue that she’d had a year of fittings and design consultations with the team at Valentino to make her wedding dress….

If you read his statement it says they were about to fly out to the atelier to start the design process when VB pulled out. So that will have given her enough time to go elsewhere but it is odd and the drip to the press about turning her nose up to the dress is the bit he’s trying to counter

same with the dancing - I think people are taking things to literally.

he has made a couple of mistakes (used in instead of at, missing word at the end) so I think dancing ‘on’ him was a mistake (or she was draping herself the way she does)

Bizarrely Susannah Constantine has just posted on instagram that she is team brooklyn. Not sure why she feels the need to weigh in publicly

When he says cancelled at eleventh hour he means they were just arranging to meet up to start the process when she pulled out. So he didn’t mean right before the wedding

and as for the vogue story debunking his - I imagine the vogue story was very PR heavy. I can’t imagine would have lied in his statement - but this is a situation where interpretations will vary

It's pretty bizarre to ask people to take what he says at face value except where taking what he says at face value reveals him to be less than honest. Also the Vogue story giving the lie to his account is corroborated by his own earlier account of their first dance. 🙄

I think the point here is that until he married he was fully under their control and doing the things they wanted for the brand. He was young when the photo book came out and that was totally pushed by his parents who should have said no! They were happy for him to be humiliated at a young age. Hard to come back from.

he went to school near where I live and people who knew him said he was a really lovely boy. Not academic but would do anything for anybody. Feels like he did as his parents asked and is only now seeing he needs independence.

Nicola is a successful actress in her own right.

David of course was very talented but VB has never had any talent. None.

I've clearly missed her successful career as an actress! I never said that VB had talent, simply that she made money from what she tried to do. Wasn't her biography Learning To Sing Fly?

However once he got to a certain age, Brooklyn could have said no.

Exactly, he could have changed his surname, as Duncan Jones did, and then carved out a professional role for himself in some field based purely on his skills!

Its Brooklyn she trade marked. His first name.

Differentforgirls · 20/01/2026 12:40

peacefulpeach · 20/01/2026 10:52

It’s very kind of Brooklyn to think about his little sister isn’t it. To think about how his show stopping (for some) instagram statements will affect her and her life.

She’s at school today, with other young teenagers. Surely he of all people should understand the impact of such high profile public bullshit. What a hypocritical spoilt man child.

Edited

Did he dump you or something?

ViciousCurrentBun · 20/01/2026 12:45

Well if they didn’t have money I feel like they would all be scrapping outside Wetherspoon's having drunk loads of cheap booze on 2 for 1 deals, with apologies to Wetherspoon's.

Care to explain how BB is financialy independent.

He is reported to be worth £10m pounds. How he made that I have no idea, but if it is accurate, that sounds pretty independent to me.

Fifi has a ‘normal’ job, not the other two.

He jumped off the ‘gravy train’ a long time ago.

🤣🤣🤣.
I was wondering if that was Lady Becks gracing us with her presence, but actually I don't think she cares as much as the PP about Harper's welfare.

Her brand on the other hand...

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 20/01/2026 11:19

This one. She is pretty obviously drunk and David looks utterly fuming.

She’s skin and bone there.

simpsonthecat · 20/01/2026 11:26

Can anyone precis what has been said in the media about his wife? I haven't seen anything but don't follow them particularly.
Is it a drip drip of negativity coming from the Beckhams?

It's been little and constant. I remember a recent one in the DM where it was "revealed" that Victoria's nick name for Nicola is "viper". That was already after Brooklyn had gone no contact because I remember thinking, 1) she's supposed to be the adult here and she acts like this? and 2) does she think she is going to get her son back like this? Of course I was assuming that she wanted him back, maybe she just doesn't give a shit.

Reallywhatonearth · 20/01/2026 12:55

For someone who wants to be left in peace he certainly likes to keep in the news. He hasn’t kept a low profile and Nicole wants fame as well - neither are fantastically talented. Guess this all equals more clicks and more money. If he didn’t have the Beckham name no one would be interested - nepo babies.

now married to a billionaire’s daughter money will not be a concern so he and Nicole can just focus on their followers. Neither side comes out well in this.

beckham, peatty and Harry …..

I agree 😟.

And I know that nothing can be judged based on one snapshot but it does look incredibly toxic between them. I was surprised at the time that David didn't even give her his jacket to try and cover some of the staining.

Makes one wonder how things really are when the megawatt smiles aren't turned on.

Differentforgirls · 20/01/2026 12:57

HelenaWaiting · 20/01/2026 11:48

Loads are there? Because it looks like Baby Beckham lied about the dance and about the wedding dress (although anyone who really believed you can get a bespoke Valentino dress "last minute" needs their head looking at).

Someone explained it in this thread or the other one. The Valentino dress was her changing into dress for the evening. But when V let her down she used it as her wedding dress.

He needs more than £10m to fund his lifestyle with Nicole. Very lucky he has married money.

Doubt he will be able to turn to the bank of mum & dad for a while.

its a very sad

I honestly think that, considering how much school he missed, and that he seems to have had little parental involvement in his life, he probably had neither the skills nor the confidence to do that.

I feel so sorry for him.

Maddy70 · 20/01/2026 13:06

The interview with Brooklyn and Nicole with vogue tells a very different tale to what he's just announced. A year of going to dress fittings at Valentino and he invited his mother and family to dance at 11pm both can't be true

Bob Geldof lost his ex wife and daughter to addiction and suicide.

Are you really this tone deaf?

At least she had a career that went beyond making a fried egg sandwich on breakfast TV and failing to photograph an elephant.

He has tried and failed to use Brand Beckham to launch his own career but now is only famous for being a failure.

It could have all been so different if only he had got that elephant in focus.
