The Beckhams’ family crisis

Behind the glossy image in favor of social media, however, there remains a fracture that has been dragging on for some time. Already on the occasion of Beckham’s 50th birthday, the absence of Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz was noted. Since then, the eldest son has progressively distanced himself from public and family events, keeping his distance even on the most important occasions for the family.

“We’ve been under public scrutiny for over 30 years now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love them,” the former Spice Girl said just a few weeks ago. An outburst emerged in response to the heavy accusations received from Brooklyn Beckham, who accused his parents of humiliating him at the wedding. “They give more value to promotion and commercial agreements than to anything else. The Beckham brand is worth first of all, love is decided by how much you publish on social media or how much you drop everything to pose with them, even if at the expense of our professional obligations”, the young man wrote. “For years we have gone out of our way to be there and give our support to every fashion show, every party and press activity and show a perfect family. I don’t want to reconcile with my family“.
