It's EXACTLY what he's said.....

“My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”

This tells me NP is pregnant and BB is informing his parents that they have killed the golden goose because they would have expected their grandchildren to be exploited exposed and monetised to line D&Vs pockets.

I always think the same. And they can't reverse them because then you get venereal disease.

Also very apt given the slag that is DB.

He’s the wrong ‘un in this saga - even tho BB is blaming his Mum.

IMHO VB Has suffered horrifically for internalising, shouldering, denying and ultimately inadvertently facilitating his philandering ways. This has likely reduced her to being emotionally brittle, paranoid and discombobulated her that she dysfunctionally leaned on BB as a child and parentified him. She also probs got into a deal with the devil - DB - where she stayed and grew the fake fantasy vanity family brand and her threw her millions to fund her equally fake fantasy vanity fashion brand. They both kept each other afloat. Also think that VB was obviously the least talented of the SGs and had the worst post group professional opportunities - so her super fragile ego hit on her being the bestest SG mother with the sexiest SG husband in the solidest SG marriage - no wonder she kept her ‘lofty’ distance from them all post SG as they could all see through it.

Agree with all of this but if we had never seen a picture of Brooklyn and he didn’t have a public relationship with his parents, I doubt his wife would’ve married him. NP doesn’t need his money, she wants his name and fame. She dated Justin Bieber, pursued Anwar Hadid when he was 17, trying to get in with Bella, Gigi, Kendall, etc and is desperate to be an actress. Maybe when no one watched the god awful movie she made in 2024, she thought the Beckhams, despite parading them at the premiere, were no longer serving a purpose and this is the result.

Agree with your interpretation of N PB a media strategy to harness the Beckham social media reach to elevate her career (that even her own billionaire father couldn’t buy her) - but once Lola flopped (with the Beckham brand on side) - she possibly needed a new SM strategy for the launch of her current film that she has written, funded, and is starring in - about a ballerina (that BB himself promoted on insta just days ago) - and this new attention seeking strategy was the blow the whole thing up. I suspect she wrote BB insta and it is totally self serving to promote her film …. this story has broken thru the usual SM and MSM portals with unprecedented reach which will serve her well from the curious directed to her film - whether that backfires on her if it is deemed a whole load of shit is coming down the pipe to entertain us futher. Smart manipulative cookie is N PB. Poor BB between a rock and a hard place and the tragedy is he doesn’t even know he’s probably been exploited again by his own wife (who’s billions will have been ring fenced by her father before marriage).

Just out of interest, when he talks of inauthentic relationships, which relationships do you think he is talking about and in what sense would they be inauthentic.

CarminaBiryani · 21/01/2026 00:31

The memes on social media of VB dancing etc. are v funny. I don't think this has really harmed any of their brands.

This is spot on. A happy Beckham/Peltz family does not get her any attention. It’s so laughable that BB is asking for privacy when his wife is more desperate for fame than D&V combined.

I just thought its celeb acquaintances they must have / interact with at events.

Or maybe they are secret snobs and bitch/moan about others while at home.

T1Dmama · 21/01/2026 01:32

I have NEVER liked the Beckhams much..
She has always made sure she’s centre of attention, I remember years ago her posing for cameras and attention seeking at another celebs wedding rather than just getting into the wedding venue asap so that the day wasn’t about her!…
Nothing Brooklyn says about her surprises me… The stealing the first dance move is very weird.. BUT not a surprise from someone like her who loves the limelight, .. Not really sure though why Brooklyn didn’t just tell his mother NO when he went up to the stage and found her hijacking the dance… surely he could have said ‘Mum this is NOT a mother/son dance please buggar off!!!’…

rainandshine38 · 21/01/2026 02:56

Why is this thread all about the women? BB wrote the message, DB is making statements yet it’s VB did this, NPB did that! Women always end up blaming women!

Justdancevance · 21/01/2026 04:43

Catherine and Meghan changed, Gordon ramsays daughter had a few changes. It’s very common In some circles

SoftIce · 21/01/2026 06:43

People have focused too much on the dance and the dress. The really chilling part for me is this:

"My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations."

That's emotional abuse in my book.

Where is the actual proof that Nicola is desperate for fame?

Elbone · 21/01/2026 06:57

I’ve seen lots of people in the industry happy to back up the claims that VB and DB are a sham.
I’ve seen plenty of people in the industry happy to say how awful NPB is.

I’ve not seen anyone coming out with horror stories about Brooklyn though. Which I think is interesting

Yeah I’ve never warmed to VB. The way she always checks where the camera or monitor is so she can see herself, the way she used to drape herself over DB. Fame hungry and fake.

landlordhell · 21/01/2026 07:05

It must be hard to follow in their footsteps when the are so famous. I say famous rather than talented. Becks was a good footballer but no way was he one of the best. She was a mediocre member of a very successful girl group but they had rinsed their joint status and become successful at being famous. None of the chn have his looks, hers aren’t great anyway and none of them so far have any outstanding talent so what to do? The can’t exactly go and work in an office. None of them have gone to university either. So they are scrabbling around thinking photography or modelling or celeb cheffing will do. Maybe Harper will become an actress.

Bruisername · 21/01/2026 07:17

DB and VB captured the zeitgeist and have been very good at staying in the public eye

the clip of NPB looking furious at the premiere - VB doesn’t once acknowledge BB even when he taps her on the back. And NP B looks on the verge of tears. It’s really odd and definitely business first.

BB is by all accounts a lovely guy. It’s no surprise though that he has ended up with someone who is able to dominate in the relationship though

Agree, and you can bet that if there were horror stories about Brooklyn, they would have come out by now. So he probably really is just an average but nice boy.

Bull. You don't change from a wedding dress into another wedding dress for your evening do.

People do, Meghan Markel did this.

Yes that’s a very telling clip. I felt sorry for B and N watching that.

I mentioned before that I know people who knew him at school and they all said he was lovely but quite passive.

I suspect he grew up being told what to do and went along with it. I hope he’s starting to find his voice

can you imagine if they’d ended up with a kid with ODD!!

David Beckham says children should be allowed to make mistakes online in response? Patronising and gaslighting. How about grown arse parents not making mistakes online and using their dc.

The problem is that it’s the response of the shit parent isn’t it - invalidating a child’s feelings, telling them they are wrong and ungrateful, after all I’ve done for you (which is what a lot of posters on this thread are saying).

and I know he wasn’t answering questions about Brooklyn but we all project, he must have known he’d get asked something related so that response was misjudged.

Its really odd, she (vb) just keeps posing with that rictus grin , most people would look at the others who have just joined to be photographed and you’d all shuffle about together. They all have to kind of work round her, she won’t break her pose.

There was also reports noting N PB going rogue on SM in the days before BB post - she may have had a bee in her bonnet!

Poor BB when yet another self funded (Daddy) project from the talentless N PB fails despite her total control starring in it (as no one else will hire her)….that bee will be buzzing and somehow it will be his fault. She may go the baby route as she’s early 30s - but her older sister seems to have the starring role in the family on that front already having 5 little ones herself - so she wouldn’t want to be playing second fiddle on that crowded stage.
