DAVID and Victoria Beckham have come up with a plan to save their fractured relationship with son Brooklyn this Christmas.
The famous family have been locked in an ongoing feud for much of the year with Brooklyn choosing to distance himself from his parents and brothers and focus on his marriage to Nicola Peltz.
But his famous parents are hatching a plan in a bid to spend some time with their son during the festive period.
They are making sure Brooklyn knows the door is firmly open for a Christmas reconciliation after a slew of olive branches.
Spilling all, one insider told The Sun: “It’s like the ghost of Brooklyn is hanging over their Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.
“Last year they were all together like one big happy family and this year couldn’t be more different.
“His absence has really taken a toll on the special days – the knighthood – and now Christmas.
“Usually they wouldn’t post all of the Christmas stockings laid out, but for them, it’s their way of showing how missed Brooklyn is, how he does have a family that loves him, so whatever the narrative is going on with him and Nicola’s family, that is not the Beckhams’ story.
“They miss him dearly and would love to be part of his life, and are no longer afraid to say it or show it.”
Our insider continued: “The message they’re sending is that the door is always open and he’s always welcome. They’d love nothing more than to see Brooklyn over Christmas, put the past behind them and start 2026 afresh.
“And Nicola? Well they’ve stopped trying to win her back over.
“It might never happen, she might never warm up to them again. So for now, they’re concentrating on Brooklyn.”
The Beckham family’s rep had no comment when contacted by The Sun.
So far, both David and Victoria have attempted to make amends with their son in the hope of all being together this Christmas.
Last month, Victoria took to her Instagram Stories last week to share a video from her mother Jackie’s home, where all the grandchildren’s Christmas stockings are up.
Notably tied to the fireplace was Brooklyn’s embroidered name into his very own stocking.
Speaking to the camera as she panned over the decorations, she said: “So I’m here at my mum and dad’s house and look how cute.
“They’ve got all of the grandchildren’s stockings up ready for Christmas.”
The couple’s youngest son Cruz also appeared to reach out to Brooklyn in a social media post earlier this month.
He shared a throwback snap of him and Brooklyn alongside their father in which he said: “Love you guys.”
Cruz had previously shared a cryptic post in which he said “life is too short” and encouraged “talk[ing] it out” – in what many took as a reference to the family feud.
The Beckham Family Feud
- April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
- Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
- Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
- Alleged Wedding “Hijack”: In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria “ruined” part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
- March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a “baby voice” (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
- April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
- May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
- Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
- Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
- June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a “crisis team” similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “reputation management” due to the growing media scrutiny.
- Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
- July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
- Brooklyn is BLOCKED by his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper.
- Nicola also appears to be blocked as they all vanish from one another’s following feed.
- October 2025: Brooklyn is not present for David’s Knighthood and fails to acknowledge the honour at all.
