Beckham family rift worsens as recent Instagram unfollows come to light

Tensions in the Beckham family have grown with David and Victoria Beckham unfollowing their eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, on Instagram.

In a latest development, Brooklyn has also unfollowed his parents. David and Victoria also do not follow Brooklyn’s wife, actress Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30. Likewise, Nicola does not follow David or Victoria.

Brooklyn also does not follow his brothers, nor do they follow him, and the same applies to Nicola.

However, David and Victoria continue to follow their other sons, Romeo and Cruz Beckham. Their youngest child, daughter Harper, does not have an Instagram account.

The social media shift comes amid long-running tension within the family, which first emerged during Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding in Palm Beach, Florida, with reports of disagreements involving Victoria.

The divide became more visible earlier this year when Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s 50th birthday celebration in London and all the family gatherings that followed. 

Brooklyn also renewed his vows with Nicola in a star-studded gathering without inviting anyone from his family. 

In May, Brooklyn shared a video of himself and Nicola riding a motorcycle, captioned with a loving tribute in which he said he would "always choose" her.

Just hours later, Cruz shared a family photo on his own account, writing, "I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what. I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives."
