The schism in the Beckham family doesn't end for the holidays.

BarcelonaIf anything has always characterized Victoria Beckham, it's been her perfectionism. She's the UK's pop star. Always with a polished figure, always prepared for any media question, with the perfect outfit to be the best dressed at every event, astute and opportune on social media, the creator of fashion collections that are hard to find a "but," and also always the driving force behind a family that seemed designed to please the entire world. But this extraordinary brand positioning has cracked, and what's more, it's done so in the most painful way. The public image of the former Spice Girl presents an escape route that neither she nor her husband—also the owner of an impeccable public profile—can stop in any way.

This headache that has banished them from the podium of perfection on which the general public had always placed them is the lack of relationship with their son Brooklyn, 26 years old and the eldest of their four children. For months, rivers of ink have been written about the rift between the entire Beckham family and their eldest son, who married Nicola Peltz in 2022, a wealthy American heiress four years his senior, with whom he lives completely isolated from his blood family. Despite the media pressure, neither David nor Victoria have said anything so as not to make things worse, well aware of how the press works. Those who have spoken out have been Brooklyn and Nicola, who have chosen to deny any rift. When asked, they said there is no problem and that what is being written is a lie.

Everyone hides reality

It's not difficult to guess that both sides are lying, some by omission and others actively. And the facts betray them. We're nearing the end of August, and they still haven't found any time to visit each other this vacation. This, which has nothing to do with a mismatch in schedules because some aren't working and others are on vacation, is something else that can be included in the absences and disregards that have occurred. The biggest of all, when Brooklyn and his wife didn't attend any of the many events that the Beckham family hosted. organized to celebrate the footballer's fiftieth birthday, which took place between the US (where Brooklyn lives) and London and Scotland. If not attending was already sad, even more so was the fact that Brooklyn didn't congratulate his father, not even on social media, as his brothers did, and as he did later with his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, who doesn't even have an Instagram account. This shows that there's not just absence, but also animosity.

As if that shock hadn't been enough, Brooklyn and his wife invented a new event that was obviously supposed to include his family, but they weren't. At the beginning of August, just three years after getting married, the two young people decided to invent a second wedding where she wore her mother's wedding dress to renew her wedding vows with Brooklyn. Obviously, this event would make it clear that the groom's parents and siblings would be there, which would serve as a barometer of their relationship. But it's clear that the event was intended as an attack on his parents, since the Beckhams appeared in all the photos shared by the young people on social media. As if that weren't enough, the caption she used with the photos of the evening – "This day was very important to us" – was especially hurtful to the Beckhams, who had to enjoy through social networks.

Crisis on the rise

While there was room for celebrities like Adrien Brody and his girlfriend, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, for the vow renewal, there was none for his family, who couldn't claim scheduling conflicts because they were on vacation at the time. Only they, who spent the summer with all their children in Portofino, know where this conflict began, which far from cooling off seems to continue to heat up, even on vacation. And yet David Beckham would have put some on. I like on Instagram to his eldest son as a sign of goodwill. But breaking the ice may take an ocean liner of patience rather than some cyber affection.

There are various theories about the son's confrontation with his entire family. According to PeopleThe conflict dates back to before Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding, when Victoria reportedly told her future bride that she would be happy to make her wedding dress. With a career as a globally recognized designer and having dressed celebrities from around the world, Victoria was more than prepared to be the designer of a wedding dress destined to be one of the dresses of the year for the tabloids and the fashion industry. Ultimately, the bride got married wearing Valentino in front of her mother-in-law, much to the disdain this caused her in front of everyone. Some say that Victoria's workshop wasn't prepared to make her dress and that they ultimately gave up on it because they didn't have the means—they must not know her...—and others say that Peltz never wanted to get married dressed by her mother-in-law because the super-rich in the US—and around the world—all get married in Valentino. There are also those who say that the bride ended up crying on the day of the landlord because Marc Anthony – who performed out of friendship with the Beckhams – called the "most beautiful girl at the party" on stage, referring to Victoria Beckham, and not the bride, who left the room, dragging her controversial partner.

Honestly, at this point it is hard to imagine that these two women could ever treat each other as if all this had ever happened. so serious which has led them to not even make a sad I like on Instagram and burning all the bridges between the two sides. I hope they fix it because many other people suffer along the way. Especially his younger brothers, whom he also has. punishedIn fact, Brooklyn could also play at uniting and not fostering estrangement. Really, with all the Botox on both Victoria and Nicola's faces, practically without any expression, it would be easier for them to play the trick that they've forgiven each other and hide the tension that would exist between them in a hypothetical reconciliation photo. I hope they make the gesture so we can start writing about something other than this psychodrama. daffodil interoceanic...
