David Beckham has refused to answer questions about his family’s apparent rift with eldest son Brooklyn, describing the feud as “a private matter”.
In January, 27-year-old Brooklyn made headlines when he released a lengthy statement on Instagram, accusing David and Victoria of “trying endlessly” to “ruin” his relationship with his wife, the actor and heiress Nicola Peltz Beckham.
He claimed that his parents have “controlled narratives in the press about our family” and said that “performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into”.
He went on to state that he does not “want to reconcile with my family” and said that he was “standing up for myself for the first time in my life”.
The Beckhams have yet to comment directly on Brooklyn’s remarks, and footballing icon David continued to avoid questions about the relationship rupture when he was interviewed before receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
When Variety asked him about the “vicious” media coverage of “strife” in the Beckham family, the former England captain said the subject was “the one thing that I don’t want to talk about”.
“To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter,” he said.
In the interview, David made a point to hail his “four incredible kids”, referring to Brooklyn, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21 and Harper, 14, and said that “family always comes first”.
“That’s our priority, and that’s what makes it work when you’ve been together for so long,” he added. “Our priority will always be our family.”
