I have no opinion on the Beckhams but feel for their estrangement from their son. The wedding today of Gordon ramsey’s daughter is another one. The grooms mother was not invited to the wedding. She said’i feel as though they have ripped my heart out’. I know how she feels

I totally agree Norah - all must be suffering hugely, & my heart really does go out to them.
DiamondLily how sad to write a young man off as 'talentless' and 'living off others' , unless you know him personally, of course

Well, he tried singing and failed. He tried playing football and failed. He tried being a chef (by making a bacon sandwich) and got laughed at.

If he wasn’t the son of who he is, Nicola Peltz wouldn’t have looked at him.

Her billionaire father is apparantly now not happy at her choice of spouse.

He’s done nothing other than been a Nepo baby living off of his parents, and now he’s kept by his wife’s father.🤷‍♀️

And when the marriage fails, as it sadly will, he will go grovelling home to the financial safety net of his parents. 🙄

I wonder if that will be before or after he's blamed them for his marriage failing DL hmm.

In my opinion celebs should not use their children to promote themselves or a brand like Brand Beckham. These children had no choice. I would rather have had my upbringing than theirs where we were taught values and you work. It's all image and extravagence, money doesn't buy happiness. Both Nicola and Brooklyn are the result of their upbringing..over indulged and spoilt. That's just my opinion.
I feel for any parent that are estranged who still love their children and in this case so publicly humiliated. We don't know everything that,occurred behind the scenes and cannot judge.

I feel sorry for Brooklyn, not the way he’s handled things, but I think his life has been overpowering for him
It’s well documented that he was a child without much confidence, his football coaches, teachers etc have said he was a nervous child, imagine being a bit introverted and growing up in that invasive publicity bubble. the other children may fare better.
I do think Victoria has a mental health problem and I think it’s her leading the publicity stunts David just seems to plod around agreeing with her.
Brooklyn seems to have failed at everything he’s tried his confidence must be very low. I hope he can find something to be interested in and get away from the vitriolic glare of publicity
Makes our ordinary exsistance seems very attractive

Victora seem so obsessed about image and control, I think you are right Bluebell she has mental health issues.
