With the words, “I always choose you, baby, “Brooklyn Beckham has made his position clear amid the growing tension between his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. His declaration of love came in an Instagram caption along with a clip of him and his wife, Nicola Peltz, riding a motorcycle through Los Angeles. The post has been interpreted by many as a direct and painful message to his family.
The 25-year-old shared the romantic reel last Saturday, writing: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby❤️❤️.” Sweet words that added further speculation on the internet of rumors about the emotional distance in what once looked like the most unbreakable family clan in pop culture.
A picture-perfect family until its cracks showed
For years, the Beckhams served full family goals and realness. Every red carpet shot, every holiday snap featured David, Victoria and their four kids—Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper—locked in a tight embrace. The vibe shifted after Brooklyn married U.S. actress-heiress Nicola Peltz in April 2022.

Absences, silences, and a widening distance
The absence of Brooklyn and Nicola from David Beckham’s recent 50th birthday party marked a turning point. Invited to the celebration, they did not attend despite having been in London that same weekend for work. According to Page Six, they not only avoided reunions with his parents but also with his siblings. “David and Victoria didn’t even know Brooklyn was in town,” lamented a close source.

Is Nicola the root of the argument?
Some sources point to Nicola as the epicenter of the rupture. Several British outlets claim the young actress has encouraged Brooklyn to cut ties with his family. There is even talk of a conflict with Romeo Beckham, whom Brooklyn reproaches for dating Kim Turnbull, his ex-girlfriend. In this emotional triangle, David and Victoria feel excluded and hurt. “This is not the Brooklyn we knew. The post was like a dagger to their hearts,” a source told The Sun.
From the Peltz circle, however, they insist the couple only wants to be happy and live their relationship without outside pressure. “Nicola and Brooklyn are building a marriage based on love, respect, and mutual support,” a source said. “This healthy relationship has made Brooklyn question aspects of his own upbringing.”

While Brooklyn declared his eternal love for Nicola, his brother Cruz posted a family photo with the opposite message: “I love my family more than anything. Mom and Dad always took care of us. We’re lucky to have them.” A clear contrast that reflects the rupture the family is experiencing.
At the same time, Victoria Beckham has tried to build bridges with public gestures, such as sharing an old picture with all her children and her parents, or mentioning Brooklyn on Mother’s Day. But so far, there has been no clear response from the firstborn.

The similarities to the past especially worry David, who endured a tense relationship with his own father for years. They fear history may repeat itself. “David is desperate to make peace, but he doesn’t know how,” close sources told the Daily Mail. And while Brooklyn remains in Los Angeles, closely connected to Nicola’s parents, his ties to the Beckhams seem to fade more each day.

What began as a fairy-tale wedding is now unfolding like a soap opera with many chapters still to come.
