Key Points
  • Brooklyn Beckham accused his parents of controlling behavior and wedding interference in a social media statement.
  • A guest claimed the rabbi at his wedding repeatedly called Brooklyn by his father's name.
  • Brooklyn is in early talks with Hulu for a TV series about his culinary business and family rift.

In a statement shared on social media in January, Brooklyn Beckham accused his parents of 'controlling' him and 'trying to ruin' his relationship with his wife. He claimed his mother 'hijacked' his and Nicola's first dance at their 2022 wedding and 'danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.' According to Brooklyn, his mother canceled making Nicola's dress at the last minute, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. He wrote that weeks before the wedding, his parents pressured him to sign away the rights to his name, and his holdout affected a payday, leading to changed treatment. During planning, he said his mother called him 'evil' over seating choices, and family members told him Nicola was 'not family' the night before the wedding. Since standing up for himself, he has received attacks from his parents sent to the press. The specific terms of the name deal and Victoria Beckham's response remain unknown.

At the wedding ceremony, a guest claimed the rabbi called Brooklyn 'David' as the couple stood on the altar. The rabbi stuttered and asked for forgiveness, explaining he was a soccer fan, and an insider alleged the mistake happened twice before vows were completed. What evidence exists for this claim is unclear.

Brooklyn is considering a TV series to step out of his father's shadow. An American streamer contacted him, with his management in early talks with Hulu. Brooklyn is keen on the series to document his culinary business and open up about the rift with his parents. The current status of these talks is not confirmed.

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me 'evil' because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was 'not blood' and 'not family'. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
