Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly delivered a legal notice to his parents, David and Victoria Beckham amid their explosive family feud.
Relations have been frosty between the 26-year-old and the rest of the Beckham clan for some time but in a dramatic turn of events, it has been claimed that Brooklyn has taken things a step further and sent a ‘desist’ letter to his family.
The feud between the aspiring chef and his parents seems to have passed a point of no return when Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz claimed on Instagram that the entire family had been blocked by Brooklyn online.
Sources initially claimed that Posh and Becks had un-followed their son but it was later confirmed that their eldest son had blocked them all.
It has now been alleged that Brooklyn had sent a letter in the summer to his parents when he asked correspondence between them to come through his lawyers, the Mirror reports.
It has also been claimed that Brooklyn “wanted to try and make amends privately not publicly”.
A source told The Sun: “Truly, people do not know the full facts of this heart-breaking tale, and think Brooklyn was just being truculent when he blocked his parents. The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately not publicly.
“He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately. For their part, David and Victoria have simply tried to let their beloved eldest son know the door is always open, and that they still care.”
The source went on to say that the Beckhams were “utterly bemused and devastated” by what has happened, with the possibility of a reconciliation seeming further away than ever. Friends claimed that the Beckhams had invited Brooklyn to celebrate with them as David collected his knighthood in November.
An olive branch was also given to his wife Nicola Peltz with her being welcomed to the evening dinner.
However, it’s been reported that the pair both declined.
Whilst contact between Brooklyn and his parents has seemed to come to a complete halt, it is believed Brooklyn is still in contact with his grandparents on both sides.
The source said: “Brooklyn absolutely adores them, and knows how much pain this is causing everyone. So he has reached out in his own time, but tried to keep it low-key so as not to drag them into it.”
Brooklyn’s feud with his parents first became known to the public around the former footballer’s 50th birthday in May last year when he snubbed all of the celebrations surrounding the milestone event.
Things have since played out dramatically in the media, with sources claiming Brooklyn tried to arrange coffee with his parents when he was in the UK.
Other insiders claim that the feud had been brewing for quite some time, noting cracks first started to show over Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding in 2022.
The pair later addressed the feud at the time with billionaire heiress Nicola saying: “I was going to [wear a Victoria Beckham wedding dress] and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realised that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress.
“She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that.”
Brooklyn added: “I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that. They’re always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good.”
