David and Victoria Beckham reportedly had a deadline in mind for reconciling with their estranged son Brooklyn, but it appears that timeline will not be met. The couple has had no contact with their eldest son for a year, according to sources. Brooklyn, 27, remains in the United States with his wife, Nicola Peltz, 31, and has defiantly stated that he does not want to patch things up, seemingly cutting off his siblings as well.
Background of the Feud
The rift became public when Brooklyn posted a scathing statement on his Instagram Story, accusing his parents of controlling him from a young age and interfering in his marriage. Neither David, 50, nor Victoria, 52, publicly responded at the time, but they have since shown love to their son through birthday tributes and interviews. Despite Brooklyn's lack of interest in reconciliation, the Beckhams are not giving up hope.
Current Status
According to a source cited by Page Six, following a series of public engagements, everything is going well for the Beckhams, but Brooklyn remains absent. The insider stated that the family will never give up hope of reuniting with their son, though they are saddened by the prolonged feud. With the World Cup set to begin on June 11, David and Victoria were optimistic that things could return to normal before then, as they will be spending time in the US for the tournament. However, their hopes are fading, with the source adding that everything is frozen in place.
Brooklyn is reportedly only in touch with his grandparents—David's mother, Sandra, and Victoria's parents, Jackie and Tony—and even that contact is irregular and limited to text messages. While Brooklyn and Nicola have denied claims that she is controlling the situation, the source clarified that Brooklyn fully owned his statement and that an apology from David and Victoria would no longer work.
Victoria's Public Comments
Victoria recently addressed the family rift in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, stating that she and David have always tried to protect and love their children. She declined to mention Brooklyn by name but emphasized their efforts as parents. During a Time100 panel, she also spoke about ignoring the noise and focusing on her family.
Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, remain active on their parents' social media and attend events with them. Brooklyn, who grew up in the spotlight, accused his parents of controlling narratives and prioritizing Brand Beckham over authenticity.
Looking Ahead
As the World Cup approaches, David, who owns Inter Miami FC, will be heavily involved in the tournament, including greeting Prince William. While the family will likely be seen together, Brooklyn is expected to keep his distance. The source concluded that everyone is getting on with their lives, but David and Victoria will be ready to talk when Brooklyn wants to.
