Brooklyn Beckham has allegedly grown weary of the ongoing public attention surrounding his family rift, following recent comments made by his mother, Victoria Beckham, sources have claimed.

The former Spice Girl broke her silence on the estrangement last week in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, before appearing on the Today show to reflect on what she described as a “publicly challenging” year.

When asked how she navigates difficult periods, the 52-year-old responded: “We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children."

She continued: "But we laugh a lot. David Beckham is really, super funny.”

The fashion designer avoided directly addressing any of Brooklyn’s specific allegations and did not mention him by name.

Against this backdrop, sources now claim Brooklyn is eager to move on from the ongoing drama.

“Brooklyn is aware that everyone wants to know more about the family feud, but he’s tired of it being brought up,” an insider told Metro.

The source added: “While Victoria hasn’t gone into detail about everything going on, he’s keen to move on from it all and focus on his life with Nicola.”

The comments come after Brooklyn’s explosive statement in January, in which he made a series of claims about his parents.

He alleged that his mother withdrew from designing his fiancée's wedding dress at the last minute, despite her initial involvement, with Nicola ultimately wearing a custom Valentino Haute Couture gown.

Brooklyn also claimed his mother “hijacked” his first dance at their 2022 wedding, alleging she “danced very inappropriately” with him in front of guests.

DJ Fat Tony, who performed at the wedding brunch, later described the moment as “really awkward”.

Brooklyn further accused his parents of being “controlling” and prioritising “Brand Beckham” above all else.

He has since relocated to the United States with Nicola, and sources say he requested no direct contact from his parents, instead asking that communication be handled through legal representatives.

The 27-year-old also recently removed a tattoo tribute to his father and marked his fourth wedding anniversary with an emotional message to his wife on Instagram.

“We have been through so much together, but today we are stronger than ever, and you are my best friend,” he wrote.

His siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, are understood to have remained close to their parents.

Brooklyn's relationship with his siblings has allegedly fractured alongside his estrangement from his parents.

In late 2025, he is said to have blocked Romeo and Cruz on Instagram, with Cruz claiming the family “woke up blocked”.

Brooklyn has also alleged his brothers were “sent to attack” him online to protect the “Brand Beckham” image.

Tensions allegedly deepened over Romeo’s relationship with Brooklyn's ex-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, with Brooklyn said to have avoided events where she was present.

His once-close bond with younger sister Harper is now said to be strained by distance and the wider family divide.

Sources claim he is keen to “shield” her from the fallout despite their reduced contact.

Brooklyn has also missed key family moments and holidays involving Harper over the past year.
