Passionately smitten while vacationing in Italy - Captivated by the charm of Italy.
The Beckham family is currently navigating a period of tension, with the recent renewal of vows by Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, taking place without the presence of David and Victoria Beckham[1][2][3][4].
The feud is believed to have started around the time of Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in April 2022, primarily due to a disagreement over Nicola's choice not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding dress, a decision that Victoria allegedly took personally[1][4]. The situation escalated when Marc Anthony unexpectedly called Victoria onstage during Brooklyn and Nicola's first dance, leading to an emotional reaction from Nicola and further strained relations[1][4].
Since then, Brooklyn and Nicola have distanced themselves from the rest of the Beckham family, skipping key family events such as David Beckham's 50th birthday party in 2025. Brooklyn is said to have requested "no contact" with the family and even unfollowed and blocked his brothers on social media, indicating a serious rift[2][3]. Reports suggest Brooklyn may have chosen to exclude his parents from some family occasions himself, implying the estrangement might be mutual or initiated by Brooklyn[1].
Victoria Beckham shared more photos from the family holiday in Italy, featuring the family on their yacht, in a restaurant, and strolling. However, Brooklyn was once again absent, preferring to spend his time with Nicola and her family[5].
The Beckham family was photographed on a Friday in Italian Portofino during a family dinner. David Beckham was seen wearing a blue shirt and light brown pants, while Victoria Beckham wore a backless dress during the dinner. Photos published by the British "Daily Mail" show the couple being very affectionate during the dinner[6]. David Beckham was seen in an intimate embrace with daughter Harper (14) and shirtless next to son Romeo (22), while Cruz poses in white underwear in the shared photos[6].
In July, Brooklyn unfollowed his brothers on Instagram, fueling the rumors of disputes within the family[7]. Victoria also shared holiday snaps on social media, including a photo of her "kissing" her husband David Beckham[8]. Despite the ongoing tensions, Victoria and David continue to show affection during their family holiday in Italy[8].
As of August 2025, the feud remains active and unresolved, with no apparent attempts at reconciliation between David and Victoria Beckham and their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz[1][2][3][4].

- I'm not going to be a big fan of the idea of a "Summer Holiday" that doesn't include the entire Beckham family, considering the current strained relationships and mutual estrangement between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria.
- The ongoing feud between the Beckham family members seems to have significantly affected their family-dynamics, with entertainments and celebrity events possibly serving as sources of further disagreements, given Brooklyn's preference for spending time with his in-laws over family gatherings.
- Despite the escalating tension and public unfollowing incidents on social media, relationships within the family take center stage during occasions like summer holidays, showcasing the love and affection between David and Victoria Beckham, even amidst the ongoing feud with their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham.
