The Beckham family Instagram drama reaches new heights as David and Victoria Beckham unfollow their eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, who reciprocates by unfollowing them back. This digital distancing comes amid a prolonged family feud that reportedly began after Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2022.
Instagram Unfollowing Patterns Revealed
The Beckham family’s social media activity has taken a noticeable turn, with David Beckham and Victoria Beckham no longer following their 26-year-old son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham on Instagram. The unfollowing appears mutual, as Brooklyn has similarly stopped following both of his parents on the platform.
This digital distancing extends beyond the immediate parent-child relationship. Brooklyn also does not follow his brothers Cruz Beckham (20) and Romeo Beckham (23), nor do they follow him back. The same pattern applies to Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham (30), whom David and Victoria also do not follow.
The Beckhams’ youngest child, 14-year-old Harper Beckham, does not maintain an Instagram account, keeping her out of this social media drama.
Historical Context of the Beckham Family Feud
The Instagram unfollowing represents the latest development in a family rift that reportedly began surrounding Brooklyn’s April 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz in Palm Beach, Florida. What should have been a celebratory family occasion instead marked the beginning of ongoing tensions between the newlyweds and the rest of the Beckham family.
Wedding Dress Controversy
Initial reports suggested tension arose when Nicola opted not to wear one of Victoria Beckham’s wedding dress designs, despite originally planning to do so. While sources close to the situation provided conflicting accounts about the significance of this decision, it marked the first public indication of potential family discord.
Wedding Reception Incident
Further complicating matters, Victoria allegedly hijacked a planned dance during the wedding reception that Brooklyn and Nicola had arranged with performer Marc Anthony. This incident reportedly left Nicola in tears and added to the growing tension between the families.
Recent Family Events and Absences
The family discord became more visible during David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in May 2025. While Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper all attended the star-studded London event, Brooklyn and Nicola were notably absent despite receiving invitations.
Sources indicated the couple opted to skip the event due to the presence of Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnball, whom insiders claimed had been previously linked to Brooklyn. However, both Cruz Beckham and Kim Turnball herself publicly denied these dating rumors, with Cruz stating definitively that “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”
Social Media Crypticism
The Beckham family tensions have frequently played out through cryptic social media posts in recent months:
- Brooklyn shared a video of himself and Nicola riding a motorcycle with a caption stating he would “always choose” her
- Hours later, Cruz posted a family photo expressing love for his parents and acknowledging how “blessed” they were to have them in their lives
- Various family members have shared ambiguous messages that fans have interpreted as referencing the ongoing feud
Family Reconciliation Efforts
Despite the very public nature of their discord, sources close to the family indicate that reconciliation remains possible. One insider noted that “The relationship is definitely not beyond repair,” adding that David and Victoria continue to love and support their eldest son.
The same source explained that the parents feel “hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life,” suggesting that the distance is more emotional than geographical.
Another source described the cyclical nature of the family’s attempts at reconciliation, noting that “Every time they finally have a happy moment, it all falls apart again.” This pattern has persisted despite multiple attempts to make peace between the various family factions.
The Road Ahead
As the Beckham family navigates this very public feud, the Instagram unfollowing represents just the latest chapter in a story that has captivated fans of the famous family for nearly three years. While the situation appears strained currently, those close to the family maintain hope for eventual reconciliation.
The situation highlights the challenges that even the most famous families face when navigating relationships in the public eye, where every social media interaction becomes subject to intense scrutiny and interpretation.
