Brooklyn Beckham

This is a very lighthearted thread, with a sad undertone.

Just read a piece from Sunday Times, written by a journalist who interviewed Brooklyn.

It was after his marriage, but before he decimated his family, aimed at both his parents, online.

The article shows Brooklyn loving his parents, adoring his wife, and living his best life.

Yet, is he? He doesn’t appear to have any inclination to take paid work seriously, despite lots of encouragement and support from both his parents.

Though I don’t think I’d had thrust my children into the limelight in the way Victoria and David have done, there’s no question that they have been loving and supportive parents, have a strong work ethic and family is important to them. David in particular does plenty of charity work and Victoria sometimes smiles in public. grin

Why then have Brooklyn and his wife Nicola become so hostile towards the Beckhams, and more importantly why are they playing this out so publicly?

Is this just a case of two horribly spoilt and over indulged, entitled young people or are David and Victoria terrible people and parents?

For me, I think it’s the former!

Anyone else think the same?

A typical tale of the awful Celeb Culture we live in. Shallow, money grabbing and quite sick really.

But millions of people can't get enough of it and think it is something to aspire to.

That is low low Society had become.
Very sad.

It is all very sad. let’s not take sides. His parents shared his image from birth. Our generation can only guess how that felt. He gained financially from that but no-one asked his permission.

Dreadwitch I read that Nicola was having fittings for a dress designed by someone else months before her wedding.

I too read this and that it was she who did not wish to wear anything designed by her MiL to be!

Of course, the only people who really know what’s been going on here are the two families themselves.

There’s quite a lot of Victoria bashing, much of it very similar to Meghan bashing m, by both social media and he general public.

They are not a family, they are a brand. It may have worked when people were more gullible but I hope we can now see these people for who they are.

Years ago at a creative writing class I was castigated for writing something honest about Victoria Beckham. I couldn't understand how people didn't see through it.

Now those same people are baying for blood.

We helped create them by making them the focus of our attention. What for?

Unless you know VB or any of her friends, ANYTHING you, or anyone else writes about her is your opinion.

Best to keep quiet and walk away absolutely Avalon.

If having no contact with his parents is what he wants; if he's going to be happier without them in his life then why doesn't he just get on with the life he's chosen?

'He who protests too much' springs to mind hmm.

I find it odd for a mother to grind on her son and nuzzling his neck in a dance. Can't imagine doing that with any of my adult children.
I'm definitely wondering what went on throughout their childhood behind closed doors
Perhaps that's the retired SW in me........

Smileless2012 Thu 22-Jan-26 17:06:05

Is that what she did sazzl? Were you there? If not, have you seen the video? If not, unless you have evidence to support your rather disturbing accusations perhaps you should ask for your post to be removed.

I couldn’t find any video evidence online. Apparently guests were asked not to film. So am not sure where you got this info from.
Also am aware there are deep fakes generated by AI so tbh I take a whole lot of convincing.

Doodledog Thu 22-Jan-26 17:21:27

I thought that people had to hand in their phones to stop gratuitous filming?

I'm sorry, sazzl, but I find it worrying that a retired SW wouldn't want concrete evidence before worrying about what went on behind closed doors.

Allsorts Thu 22-Jan-26 17:33:50

Sazzl, are you representative of Social Workers? What you are saying is that the Beckham are abusers of a sexual nature, That is abhorrent and I am reporting your post. No one should be accused such acts with no knowledge. This is how rumours completely unfounded start.

Suzieque66 Thu 22-Jan-26 17:49:39

I agree about The Wife whispering in his ear .... if the marriage collapses where will he go ?

I find her imagination worrying. Who would think inappropriate means grinding on her son and nuzzling his neck. Very disturbing.

Brooklyn and his wife are too spoiled and too young, why get married when you haven’t even figured out what you want to do with your life?
Children playing at being grown ups.
They need to grow up and get a life that doesn’t depend upon others paying for it.

Brooklyn’s wife is 30, hardly too young to be married.

Does anyone really care what the Beckhams get up to. I heard someone on tv say that the Beckhams wealth is over £500.000,000. Yet is seems that they are just an ordinary family with the same problems but theirs is played out on social media for everyone to read about.

This must be very hard for Victoria Beckhams as some horrible things have been said about her in particular.

Exactly .. They need to grow up and get a life that does not depend upon their parents paying for it !!

Just wondering if sazz1 was there!

Perhaps, otherwise that post could be libellous.

WrinklyTeenager Thu 22-Jan-26 19:46:15

Attention seeking. 'There is no such thing as bad publicity'. Publicity stunt seems to be working extremely well here.

I’m stunned that any social worker, retired or not, would wonder what sent on behind closed doors, on the basis of unfounded allegations and gossip.

Terrifying to think someone jumping to salacious conclusions based on gossip could ever have had safeguarding duties

Or conclusions based on AI!!
It is frightening.

Smileless2012 Thu 22-Jan-26 20:01:04

I agree Iam, it is terrifying.

HelterSkelter1 Thu 22-Jan-26 20:12:58

Third hand I know of someone who worked for the Beckhams and said what a lovely down to earth family they were. Especially Victoria. I think in the public eye they are all acting.

As all or most celebrities do up to a point.

Iam64 Thu 22-Jan-26 21:07:29

HelterSkelter I have also known people who worked with the Beckhams and made similar positive comments

I guess it takes our minds off the Orange kamakazi one for a few minutes

For this we must be grateful for 🤣

"Brooklyn’s wife is 30, hardly too young to be married."

The old biological clock ticking away, she has to find a man to have children with

Allsorts Fri 23-Jan-26 05:21:37

I think now the young couple should be left to on with their lives. V and D must be feeling broken by it all and perhaps lessons can be learnt albeit late in the day, with their other children, they must be so hurt and torn by it all too.

barmcake Fri 23-Jan-26 06:07:14

“A son is a son 'til he gets a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all her life." This is often the case.

I see VB is No.1 in the charts with a 20 year old single!

I think NP would have ended up with one of those satin nightdress numbers that VB always seems to wear.

I wonder what will happen when grandchildren come along.
