Is one spoilt entitled brat who has broken his parents hearts, not that I am a great fan of the Beckhams, at least they have worked all their lives and would not betray their parents!

Maybe stop reading the Daily Mail?

Just a thought

We don't know the deep details of his life and upbringing. I think it's unfair to judge based on newspaper gossip.

You have no idea what has happened within the family, so you can’t possibly make a judgement about Brooklyn Beckham

ImGoingUpstairsToTakeOffMyHat · 27/08/2025 21:18

I’ve semi-followed what’s happening and can probably summarise as follows:

One spoilt brat living off mummy and daddy married another spoilt brat living off mummy and daddy. Then, rich people problems happened.

The end.

They pimped out their three sons to build brand Beckham.

smoulderingmould · 27/08/2025 21:33

They put him in the public domain from an early age as part of their brand. Not healthy imo.

Ballardz · 27/08/2025 21:35

You have no idea what’s happened. Just because the Beckhams put on a public front of being a happy and close family, we cannot know for sure that it’s genuine and not just an act.

It’s not at all unusual for someone to realise their own family is toxic once they get to know a more normal family.

He’s very dopey and gormless isn’t he? He appears to have zero talent in anything. Saying that - if they had categorised his “photography” book as comedy it would have been a best seller. His parents must be embarrassed by him

KrisAkabusi · 27/08/2025 21:38

You are because you have absolutely no idea what is going on in any of those individual's lives

Denim4ever · 27/08/2025 21:39

I do find it worrying that most kids - educated privately or in the state system - work their asses off to get to uni or apprenticeship etc. and Beckhams and Andres just get allowed to stay at their private schools and not do esp well or go to on to uni. I suppose royal family in the 80s with crappy A Level results getting into Cambridge is similarly worrying

smallpinecone · 27/08/2025 21:40

He does seem very gormless, but I feel very sorry for him… he seems to have few skills or ambitions and no real ability to make a living or carve his own niche in the world.

x2boys · 27/08/2025 21:40

I don't really follow what's going on but I do think David and Victoria haven't helped themselves by trying to buy careers for their kids
So far Brooklyn has been a footballer,photographer, and chef and shown no real talent in any of those professions
Another son has made an album which didn't get anywhere
And the other footballer son played for the team his Dad part owned and was then " loaned " to Brentwood,?
B team where he hasent really made an amazing success of it
I heard Harper was signed up to Italia Conti stage school ...

QuickFawn · 27/08/2025 21:42

Totally agree Vic, hope you make up soon though. Kisses

BlueyGreyWhale · 27/08/2025 21:42

I don't know his parents are pretty messed up.

They saw themselves as a brand rather than a family and pretty much cashed in on their kids. I couldn't care less about any of them.

YouMightThinkThat · 27/08/2025 21:44

Bloke's a complete salad. His wife isn't even a complete salad.

TotalMaelstrom · 27/08/2025 21:44

He’s just another gormless, harmless nepo baby playing out a deeply ordinary family wrangle in public because of who his parents are.

pizzaHeart · 27/08/2025 21:47

Is anything new happened (since David’s birthday)?

stayathomer · 27/08/2025 21:49

If we put our lives in the media/ told people what we were thinking/ were filmed at his age would we seem better?

He renewed his wedding vows in a ceremony with guests and her parents but didn’t even tell his family let alone invite them.

Who are his parents? A couple of has-beens

smallpinecone · 27/08/2025 21:56

I’ve often wondered why children of people/families with this sort of money even want to be in the limelight. Is it because they’ve grown up with it, it’s normal and they have no other frame of reference?

I mean, it doesn’t matter one iota if none of the kids want to work, or have a career. A life spent learning, spending as long in university education as you wanted, travelling, reading, volunteering, gardening - anything! Absolutely anything you wanted to do. Sounds pretty good, no?

Aaa thank you!

its bad that he’s needed to renew his vows already (who is so thick that can’t keep his wedding vows for such a short period) but to exclude so openly his parents and siblings looks really rude whatever their disagreements are.
He clearly wants to be a new Harry.
