Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly drawing a hard line between himself and his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham, as their long-running family feud enters a new and more serious phase. New details suggest the 26-year-old chef has asked that all communication go through lawyers, cutting off direct contact and putting strict limits on how his name is used in public.
According to a report published by the Daily Mail, Brooklyn and his parents exchanged letters last summer, but only through their legal teams. The move signals just how strained things have become inside one of the world’s most famous families.

The report claims Brooklyn told his parents he no longer wanted them to contact him directly. He also reportedly asked that they stop making public statements about him on social media and only communicate through lawyers moving forward.
A source told the outlet that David Beckham was instructed to speak to Brooklyn via the law firm Schillings, making it the only approved channel of communication between father and son. For a family known for sharing moments online, from birthday tributes to holiday snapshots, the shift to legal correspondence feels stark. It marks a dramatic departure from the warm public image the Beckhams have built over decades.
Why Brooklyn Beckham Reportedly Drew the Line
The heart of the conflict appears to center on Brooklyn’s wife, actress Nicola Peltz. The Daily Mail report states that Brooklyn was deeply offended by briefings about Nicola that portrayed him as being controlled by her and even described him as a hostage.

Feeling that his marriage and personal autonomy were being misrepresented, he is said to have decided that limiting communication was the only way to protect his relationship and his peace of mind. For Brooklyn, who has spoken in the past about wanting to build a life away from constant public pressure, this move fits with a broader desire to live quietly with his wife.
Instagram Drama Adds Fuel to the Feud
The family rift became more visible last month when Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz, publicly weighed in on social media. Cruz, 20, denied reports that their parents had blocked Brooklyn on Instagram, instead claiming it was the other way around.
Cruz wrote that David and Victoria would never unfollow their son and said that they woke up blocked, just like he did. The comment added a new layer of tension, suggesting Brooklyn had cut off not just his parents but also his siblings online.
Mixed Signals From David and Victoria Beckham
Despite the reported no-contact stance, there were subtle signs of connection. When David Beckham shared a roundup of his 2025 year on Instagram, Brooklyn was notably absent, while Cruz, Romeo, and Harper were included.

Brooklyn is Focused on a Drama Free Life
Last October, a source told Us Weekly that Brooklyn had “no interest” in making amends with his family at that time. The insider said he was “focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life” with Nicola Peltz.
That sentiment lines up with the reported legal approach. By funneling communication through lawyers, Brooklyn appears to be trying to create distance from the emotional and public pressures tied to his famous last name.
