David and Victoria Beckham appear to have made a gentle move toward mending ties with their oldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, following a nearly year-long period of distance. The couple quietly showed support by liking Brooklyn’s latest Instagram video on October 23, 2025, where the 26-year-old prepared buttermilk pancakes—a small but meaningful gesture amid reports of strained relations.
The aspiring cook regularly shares his kitchen experiments online, and this subtle parental approval suggests a willingness to bridge the gap. Brooklyn and Nicola, who tied the knot in a grand 2022 ceremony, have missed several key family gatherings, including David’s milestone 50th birthday, Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week presentation, and the October 2025 launch of her Netflix documentary. They did, however, attend David’s own documentary premiere two years earlier.
When questioned by reporters about his mother’s new series, Brooklyn declined to comment and walked away after answering other queries. The couple also held a private vow renewal in August 2025 at Nicola’s family home in New York’s Westchester County, without extending invitations to the Beckhams.
Tensions have been noticeable on social media as well, with Brooklyn’s younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, no longer following him. Yet Brooklyn publicly wished his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday in July, posting a warm message and a photo with her and Nicola.
Brooklyn addressed the speculation in September, telling a reporter, “People will always talk, but I have an amazing wife. We stay focused, work hard, and keep things positive.” Victoria has consistently emphasized family closeness, stating in a recent podcast interview that open dialogue is central to their household. “We let the children know they can always speak freely,” she explained, noting that each child follows their own path while remaining supported.
Some observers trace the friction to Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding, where the bride chose a Valentino gown instead of one from Victoria’s label. Others point to past connections between Brooklyn and Romeo’s former girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, though both Cruz and Kim have dismissed those claims.
Despite the challenges, the Beckhams’ recent online engagement with Brooklyn’s post hints at a softening of positions and a possible step toward restoring harmony within the family.
