Beckham family-Brooklyn disagreement delved into
The world is hooked on the unfolding drama of the Beckham family - not from a TV series, but from real life.
Recent rumors of a feud within the famous family intensified when Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria, and his wife Nicola Peltz, skipped David's extravagant 50th birthday celebrations.
Reports suggest that Brooklyn requested a separate meeting with his parents to convey his birthday wishes, but, allegedly, the power couple declined the proposition.
As the family navigates these choppy waters, a family therapist, Dr. Gail Saltz, spoke to Us Weekly to analyze the situation.
Dr. Saltz, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College, noted that the Becks find themselves caught in a public-private conflict due to the fame that has surrounded David's birthday party and its attendees.
According to her, the tension in the family is rooted in a simmering confrontation between Victoria and Peltz, with feelings of jealously and the sensation of loss on both sides. Victoria feels she's losing her primary place in her son's life, while Peltz feels Victoria's refusal to relinquish her previous spot undermines her new role.
As Dr. Saltz pointed out, this kind of awkward family dynamic is common during the "new marriage" stage and requires careful navigation. Her advice for resolving this sticky situation involves acknowledging one's feelings and not personalizing them, understanding that the pain is normal due to the loss experienced, and extending an olive branch (though she admits it's not easy).
Another reason for the strife, Dr. Saltz posits, is shifting sibling dynamics, leading to feelings of loss. In this case, with the entry of a new partner, the bond between Brooklyn and his younger brother, Romeo, may have been affected.
The expert suggests mending fences by reaching out, though she admit it's tough. Interestingly, it appears that David Beckham has taken the first step by including Brooklyn in a Mother's Day tribute post.
While the Beckhams have opted to tackle their family issues behind closed doors, the situation serves as a reminder that even the glamorous and powerful are not immune to the complexities and challenges of family life.
