Brooklyn Beckham tells David and Victoria to 'only contact him through his lawyer'

Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz have reportedly been at logger-heads with David and Victoria Beckham for some time

The Beckham family's fiery feud has allegedly intensified to legal levels this week, with David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son, Brooklyn, having sent his parents a cease and desist letter.

According to new reports, the 26-year-old has instructed the former England legend, 50, and the Spice Girl, 51, only to contact him via lawyers, after blocking the A-list British couple on social media.

The latter bombshell was dropped by Brooklyn's 20-year-old brother Cruz last month, who slammed initial rumours that his parents had made the first move as 'not true'.

Revealing their brother Romeo, 23, and 14-year-old sister Harper were subjected to the same fate, Cruz claimed: "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked - as did I."

The remark also seemed to confirm long-standing rumours that Brooklyn's American actress wife, Nicola Peltz, has been embroiled in a dispute with mother-in-law Victoria since the couple's 2022 nuptials, where they were said to have fallen out over dresses and first dances.

Brooklyn was also said to have covered up a 'Mama's Boy' tattoo with words Peltz had written in a note before they exchanged vows, before the couple also failed to attend David's lavish 2025 50th birthday bash weeks later.

The weeks that followed Cruz's latest remark, however, saw a number of pointed social media posts being uploaded from either party.

Whilst Brooklyn shared a snap of his heavily-tattooed hands holding Nicola's over Christmas, captioned 'My everything' in an apparent message of defiance, Victoria and David uploaded a video of themselves dancing to Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb's sassy 1980 duet 'Guilty' - with lyrics that read, 'We've got nothing to be sorry for'.

And following a quiet few days from the big-name brood, a new update from an inside source - who spoke to The Sun - alleges that Brooklyn has sought legal advice over the bitter spat.

As well as a new letter instructing his parents only to reach out to them through his representatives, David and Victoria have also been advised not to tag the photographer in any further social media posts.

"Truly, people do not know the full facts of this heart-breaking tale, and think Brooklyn was just being truculent when he blocked his parents," the anonymous individual told the news outlet.

"The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately not publicly."

They continued: "He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately."

Of David and Victoria, the insider claimed the couple 'have simply tried to let their beloved eldest son know the door is always open, and that they still care'. They added: "After this letter, they had no other physical means of reaching out to him so what were they to do?

"They of course feel utterly bemused and devastated by this latest turn of events. There is no malice from their part, only concern. But it is clear, if there is going to be any reconciliation, it will be away from prying eyes and must be done privately.

"That’s all anyone wants but, alas, seems a long, long way off given they are only now communicating through lawyers."

LADbible Group has reached out to The Beckham's representatives for comment.
