Soccer star David Beckham and designer Victoria Beckham were confirmed to have unfollowed their eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham on Instagram, bringing long-standing family feud rumors back to the surface.
On the 20th (local time), People reported that David Beckham and Victoria Beckham recently removed Brooklyn's Instagram account from their follow lists, and Brooklyn has also unfollowed his parents. It also appeared that Brooklyn is not following his younger brothers Cruz Beckham and Romeo Beckham either.
Brooklyn's wife, actress Nicola Peltz Beckham, is also not connected with her parents-in-law and siblings-in-law on social media. Meanwhile, David and Victoria are still following their other children, Romeo and Cruz. Youngest daughter Harper does not operate a personal social media account.
This "unfollow incident" is drawing further attention as it intersects with long-running reports of conflict within the Beckham family. Observers largely believe the rift intensified after Brooklyn married Nicola Peltz in 2022. At the time, rumors of discord arose over Nicola not wearing one of Victoria's wedding dresses, and misunderstandings surrounding a dance event at the wedding were also cited as factors that deepened the conflict.
In recent months, tensions within the family have been publicly exposed. Victoria and the other children attended David Beckham's 50th birthday party, but Brooklyn and Nicola did not appear. Afterwards, suggestive posts on social media continued, fueling fans' speculation.
A source said, "Brooklyn feels torn between his family and his wife," and "his relationship with his father has not always been easy." The source added, however, "the relationship is not completely beyond repair, and the parents still love their son."
The Beckham family draws the world's attention even over a single social media follow. Interest is centered on whether the rift revealed by the "unfollow" is a temporary expression of feeling or a signal of a deeper conflict.
