The Beckhams are reportedly open to making amends with their estranged son Brooklyn Beckham, but not with his wife Nicola Peltz.
“David and Victoria love Brooklyn and are scared of losing their son. They would take him back in a heartbeat,” a source told People magazine on Tuesday, while another added: “The Beckhams have no intention of reconciling with their son unless Nicola is involved.”
However, a second source theorized, “It’s not an ultimatum he’s going to cave in to.”
The source went on to claim that Brooklyn has “feeled more support from his wife over the past three years than he ever has from his parents.”
However, a source close to the Beckham family said: “David and Victoria believe that over time Brooklyn will come back. But until then, there is nothing they can do.”
Representatives for the Beckhams and Pelzes did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Last week, Brooklyn, 26, posted a surprising statement on her Instagram Story about her estrangement from her family, saying she “doesn’t want to reconcile” with them.
In part, it was claimed that his mother, 51, “cancelled Nicola’s (wedding) dress making at the 11th hour” and then “hijacked” their first dance as newlyweds and began dancing “highly inappropriately” on top of Nicola.
But the hostility between Victoria and her stepdaughter, 31, appears to have begun long before their April 2022 wedding.
“For the first few months, Victoria and Nicola got along, but then Victoria started acting like a jealous girlfriend. She seemed very jealous of Nicola,” a source close to the Peltz family told People magazine, but a source close to the Beckham family hit back: “Nicola is the one who is jealous of Victoria. She wants to be famous.”
The Beckhams, a former English soccer player and Spice Girls member turned fashion designer, and the Peltz family, a private American family headed by billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Hefner Peltz, reportedly never meshed.
“Their families are very different,” the Peltz source said, elaborating that the controversy stems from David and Victoria’s extreme fame.
A Beckham source said the couple is “basically a billion-dollar company, so they’re very strategic in everything they do.”
Another source echoed those sentiments, adding that despite their rift, he has no regrets about the way he raised Brooklyn, his brothers Romeo Beckham, 23, and Cruz Beckham, 20, and his sister Harper Beckham, 14.
Despite Brooklyn claiming that his mother and father’s “controlling” ways gave him an “overwhelming sense of insecurity,” a second Beckham insider claimed that his parents “always supported Brooklyn in every way.”
Neither David, 50, nor Victoria have publicly addressed Brooklyn’s claims.
