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

BarcelonaIf there's one thing that 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, always with theoutfit perfect for being the best dressed at every event, always astute and timely on social media, always the author of fashion collections in which it is difficult to find a but and also always the soul mother of 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. This whole amalgam of circumstances in which the former Spice Girl excelled presents an escape that neither she nor her husband—also the owner of an impeccable public profile—are able to interrupt 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. They have been writing rivers of ink for months about the estrangement between the entire Beckham family and their firstborn, 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 about it so as not to make things worse, knowing how the press works. Brooklyn and Nicola have spoken out, choosing to deny any estrangement. When asked, they said there was no problem and that what was being written was a lie.

Everyone hides reality

It's not difficult to guess that both sides are lying, some by omission and others actively. The facts are telling the truth. We're nearing the end of August, and they still haven't found any time to visit each other this holiday season. This, which has nothing to do with a schedule conflict because some aren't working and others are on vacation, is just another drop in the bucket already overflowing with absences and disdain. The biggest of all was when Brooklyn and his wife didn't attend any of the many events the Beckham family organized to celebrate the footballer's fiftieth birthday, which took place between the US (where Brooklyn lives), London, and Scotland. If not attending was already sad, even more so was the fact that Brooklyn didn't congratulate his father, not even through 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 is not only absence, but also animosity.

As if that hole weren't big enough, Brooklyn and his wife invented a new event that was obviously supposed to include his family, but it wasn'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. 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 daughter-in-law 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 Victoria's workshop wasn't prepared to make the dress and ultimately gave up on it because they didn't have the means—they must not know her...—and others say Peltz never wanted to get married dressed by her mother-in-law because the richest women 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, it is hard to imagine at this point that these two women could ever treat each other as if all this had never happened. so serious which has led them to not even make a sad 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, and practically no expression at all, it would be easier for them to put on a show of forgiving each other and conceal 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...
