The 26-year-old has insisted he has no desire to reconcile with his famous parents, Victoria and David Beckham

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are believed to have received a substantial seven-figure offer from Penguin Random House to pen a tell-all memoir about their ongoing rift with Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham.

The publishing giant, which previously released Prince Harry's bestselling autobiography Spare, is understood to be in discussions with the couple following Brooklyn's scathing six-page Instagram statement last week.


In regard to the potential book deal, a source told The Sun: "Everyone is clamouring to get their hands on this.

"These firms don't have any loyalty to Victoria and David Beckham, and are happy to pay for Brooklyn to get everything off his chest, especially given his willingness to permanently cut all ties with his parents."

The insider added: "He clearly has a lot on his mind and now is the time to put the truth on paper. The ball is completely in his and Nicola's court and their literary options are limitless, especially if Brooklyn really feels like he has a 300-page book in him."

Reports suggest the couple may also have been approached about a potential television interview in the style of the Sussexes' sit-down with Oprah Winfrey.

GB News has contacted representatives of Penguin Random House for comment.

In the post that sent the internet wild last week, the 26-year-old aspiring chef made clear he has no desire to mend relations with his parents, levelling a series of damaging accusations against them.

Brooklyn's statement centred heavily on his mother's behaviour at his 2022 wedding to the American actress and heiress.

He alleged that Victoria had "hijacked" what was meant to be his romantic first dance with his bride, claiming singer Marc Anthony summoned him to the stage where his mother was waiting instead of Nicola.

"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone," Brooklyn wrote. "I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."

The 26-year-old stated the dance had been arranged weeks beforehand to a romantic song, with 500 guests in attendance.

He added that the couple wished to renew their vows to "create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment."

Brooklyn's Instagram post declared unequivocally that he does not wish to reconcile with his family, stating he was "standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

He accused his parents of having "controlled narratives in the press" throughout his life and claimed the family "values public promotion above all else."

The eldest Beckham child wrote that since distancing himself from his parents, his lifelong anxiety had disappeared, and he had found "peace and relief" with Nicola.

Victoria is said to be devastated by her son's public attack. Sources told The Mirror she feels "betrayed" after spending years shielding Brooklyn from unflattering stories.

"She's done everything she can to make them both feel welcome and love Nicola like another daughter," a source said. "But she feels it's been thrown back in her face."

Meanwhile, the Beckhams have put on a united front despite Brooklyn torching all bridges with his parents and siblings.

David and Romeo engaged in a display of public bantering on Sunday afternoon, while the youngest sibling, Harper, broke her silence on the family ordeal by throwing her backing behind Romeo earlier this week.
