‘No contact': Inside the alleged Beckham family ‘feud'
The 26-year-old is the eldest son of the acclaimed soccer player and former Spice Girl (although once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl, right?), and it appears he has fallen out with his famous parents.
Page Six reported that Brooklyn has been 'no contact' with David and Victoria since June 2025 due to a myriad of issues.
The family, though, has been reportedly in on again/off again turmoil since Brooklyn married billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz-Beckham in 2022 after a whirlwind 8-month romance.
The 26-year-old has been spending the summer on vacation in St Tropez with his wife and her family.
The billionaire gang has been seen hanging out on an $85 million, 80-metre yacht called Project X that costs $1.2 million to charter weekly.
They've been having quite the time.
Brooklyn was seen parading around his hot sauce brand Cloud23 on a jetski, and Nicola found time in her busy schedule to post a nude photo on Instagram.
Two days later, his parents and siblings arrived in St Tropez and boarded a separate $16 million yacht named Seven.
Brooklyn and Nicola didn't join them.
To increase the awkwardness, days earlier Brooklyn was strutting around on a ship double the size of the one his family boarded.
Project X has a crew of 28, meanwhile, David and Victoria's yacht was half the size and typically has around seven crew members on board.
The facts are that Brooklyn's just been on the same holiday as the rest of his family, but his version was just richer and fancier.
He also didn't stick around to hang out with them, which seems odd. He runs a hot sauce company, but he isn't running out of annual leave or anything.
So what happened?
None of the Beckhams have spoken out over the alleged feud, but multiple insiders have spoken to various outlets, and the storyline is pretty similar.
PageSix has reported sources claim Nicola is very 'sensitive' and that David and Victoria have always been 'loving parents'.
Sources familiar with the other side of the story claim Brooklyn is leaning on his wife's family and moving away from the 'brand Beckham' focus to forge his own path.
For instance, his hot sauce line doesn't feature his last name.
The wedding that ended with Nicola in tears
It is obvious that something has shifted, as before tying the knot in 2022, Brooklyn was close with his family.
He was constantly seen hanging out with his entire family including his siblings, Romeo, 22, a model and soccer player, Cruz, 20, a musician, and Harper, 14.
Back in 2018, David burst into tears when Brooklyn surprised him for his birthday and now Brooklyn appears to be avoiding the entire brood.
It is hard to know when things fell apart but things did seem to become strained directly after his wedding, during which Nicola famously didn't wear one of her mother-in-law Victoria's designs.
There was immediately speculation that there was some kind of feud, and Nicola has tried multiple times to squash rumours, but with little success.
She did address it directly, telling Variety that she was going to wear a Victoria Beckham design, but it just didn't work out.
'I was going to do it and I really wanted to, and then a few months later, she realised that her atelier couldn't do it, so I had to choose another dress,' she explained.
It is slightly hard to imagine that someone as powerful as Victoria couldn't get a dress altered in time for her daughter-in-law's wedding, but that was Nicola's explanation
ENews has also claimed that tensions at their wedding were heightened because singer Marc Anthony, who was performing, called Victoria Beckham 'the most beautiful woman in the room', causing Nicola, the bride, to leave the room 'crying', though she eventually returned.
Brooklyn's relationship with his family has reportedly been precarious ever since and this year things have really taken a dive.
The 26-year-old didn't attend his dad's 50th birthday or wish him a happy birthday on social media, didn't shout out his dad on Father's Day, or acknowledge David being named in the King's birthday honours.
He also ignored his mum and dad's 26th wedding anniversary and his mother's birthday, but did acknowledge his billionaire father-in-law Nelson Peltz's birthday.
The alleged feud has also sparked a narrative online that Nicola is somehow 'controlling' Brooklyn. The heiress hasn't addressed the rumours, but liked a telling comment on her Instagram account.
'The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd,' the fan wrote.
'The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything.'
Brooklyn's alleged 'falling out' with his brothers
Meanwhile Brooklyn's relationship with his brothers appears to be fractured.
Romeo, Cruz have been posting about their family holiday on Instagram, commenting on each other's photos.
Not that Brooklyn would be able to see any of this because he unfollowed both his brothers on Instagram, although he does still follow his parents.
The unfollow happened around the time that his younger brother, Cruz, debuted his new romance with Kim Turnbull in May. There were rumours that Brooklyn and Turnbull had previously hooked up.
Cruz eventually took to Instagram and claimed Turnbull had 'never dated' his brother.
This is all slightly irrelevant now, because by July their relationship was over, but even if that isn't true, there's still clearly tension between the brothers.
Cruz made a public dig at Brooklyn on TikTok when he was being trolled over his music career in July.
When someone asked him if he was going to 'stick with this job or become a race car driver next?' Cruz replied, 'Wrong, brother, mate'.
Cruz's reply seems like a pretty clear jab at Brooklyn, who has had quite the career path, where he has dabbled in everything from photography, modelling, acting and, now, building a hot sauce empire.

Thousands of young Catholics converge for grand Pope Leo vigil
Thousands of young Catholics began assembling Saturday for an evening prayer vigil led by Pope Leo XIV, the culmination of a week-long pilgrimage and a key event in the Jubilee holy year that is expected to draw up to a million people. The "Jubilee of Youth" -- when the Vatican invites Catholics aged 18 to 35 to the seat of the global Church's power -- has seen young pilgrims from around the world flood Rome, waving flags, singing or praying in groups. It comes nearly three months after Leo, 69, the first American pontiff, began his papacy, and 25 years after the last such massive youth gathering in Rome under Poland's Pope John Paul II. On Saturday morning, thousands of young pilgrims had already gathered at the vast open space in Rome's eastern Tor Vergata neighbourhood where the pope will lead the vigil, the ground already dotted with blankets and mattresses. Elsewhere in the Eternal City, numerous groups of young people were seen preparing to set off for the venue. On the plaza outside the Basilica of St John Lateran, they filled water bottles, applied suncream and checked bags of food and snacks -- ready to spend the next 24 hours surrounded by a swarm of people and then sleep under the stars. Victoria Perez, who carried a Spanish flag, could not contain her excitement at seeing "the Pope up close. "It's the first time I'm going to see him, and I can't wait," the 21-year-old told AFP, excited to experience the "night of prayers under the stars". French pilgrim, Quentin Remaury, 26, said he had been inspired by the late Pope Francis's rousing message to youth during a 2016 visit to Krakow, Poland. "Pope Francis told us to 'get off your couches,' and that really gave me a boost," he said. - 'What is his message?' - Since the youth jubilee began on Monday, attendees have participated in various Church-planned events throughout the city. On Friday, approximately 1,000 priests were on hand to take confession at Circus Maximus, one of Rome's top tourist spots. Some 200 white gazebos lined the hippodrome where chariot races were once held and youths lined up to speak to priests in 10 different languages. Of the many languages heard on the streets of the Italian capital this week, Spanish seemed to dominate. The Vatican has said that more than 146 countries were represented and it expects up to a million people to attend the vigil. The pilgrimage is taking place as economic uncertainty and anxiety over climate change rises among the under-30s, with many saying they were curious to hear the Church's position on global warming, wars and economic inequalities. Samarei Semos, 29, said she had travelled three days from her native Belize to get to Rome. "We are still trying to understand his leadership," she said of the new pope, adding she hoped he would have a strong say about "third world countries". As Parisian student Alice Berry exclaimed: "What does he have to say to us? What is his message for young people?" - Raising voices - The youth pilgrimage also comes amid global alarm over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, and more than three years of war in Ukraine. The Vatican has praised young Catholics who managed to travel to Rome from war-scarred countries, with Pope Leo saying the voices of the world's youth "will be heard to the end of the earth". In an unprecedented move, Leo hosted a mass Tuesday for Catholic social media influencers, signalling the Vatican's openness to supporting the Internet-savvy youth. More than 4,300 volunteers will be working the event to welcome the young pilgrims, along with over 1,000 police, according to organisers. Rome authorities have tightened security in the city -- which has seen an unprecedented number of people, with both tourists and pilgrims inundated the city. oc-ams/ach

Bonnie Blue spotted after backlash to ‘grubby' Channel 4 documentary
A controversial adult content creator has been spotted hugging a plush toy while at an airport just days after her documentary aired. Bonnie Blue touched down in Ibiza on Friday — just two days after the premiere of her documentary 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, which aired on Britain's Channel 4 on Wednesday. The 26-year-old looked relatively low-key in comparison to her typically sultry look that she has been known to sport. Blue wore a cream coloured tracksuit set with her hoodie pulled up over her head. It was paired with a white T-shirt, with the slogan being half hidden. She cuddled an oversized polar bear plushie and her blonde hair was loose around her face. Blue being spotted at the airport comes after the premiere of her extremely divisive doco, which detailed her mission to sleep with 1057 men in one 12-hour session. Viewers branded the new film as 'grubby' and 'sickening', featuring explicit scenes some deemed too raunchy for TV. 'Channel 4 has sunk a new low. Why is there a documentary on Bonnie Blue? Why are they trying to normalise her behaviour on national television?' one asked on X. 'This #bonnieblue documentary is absolutely depressing … I feel like I'm losing my mind watching this,' mused another. As one raged: 'Channel 4 you are truly disgusting for airing a documentary about Bonnie blue in any way shape or form. Genuinely disappointing how that woman is allowed a platform of any sort.' Another labelled it 'literal porn'. The film also featured multiple scenes of Blue – whose real name is Tia Billinger – and various men engaging in graphic sexual acts. She's also shown completely nude at times, as well as being pictured shooting adult videos with other porn stars. As a result, many labelled the film 'disturbing' and 'degrading', arguing it should never have been shown on TV. Businesses such as Visa, Cawston Press and Smirnoff have also demanded Channel 4 pull its advertising from the program as it 'doesn't fit' with their values, The Sun reported. Channel 4 defended its decision to air the doco. 'The explicit content in the documentary is editorially justified and provides essential context; making pornographic content is Bonnie's job, and this film is about her work and the response to it,' the broadcaster said, according to LADbible. 'Crucially, the content is presented in a non-gratuitous manner and viewers will be alerted of the sexual content in a program warning at the start to ensure they understand from the outset the nature of the program. 'The program was broadcast after watershed and is compliant with the Ofcom broadcasting code.' However, despite the backlash to both the documentary and the stunt it was about, Blue is still very keen to continue her television career. At the launch of the documentary, Blue claimed she wanted to do a sex education series, The Sun reported. 'Everyone wants different things, everyone has different requirements,' she said. 'I know from sleeping with thousands of people everyone wants it differently, so they [men] know not to assume that every woman wants it the same way. If they're going too fast or if they're being too rough, speak up. 'You've got a voice. Tell them you don't want it like that, tell them how you want it.' It's not surprising, given Blue's stunts have seen her kicked off the OnlyFans platform. It wasn't the sleeping with 1057 men in 12 hours, or her endeavour to take school leaver's virginities that did it — it was her announcement that she would host a 'petting zoo', where she was set to be tied up in a glass box 'like a zoo animal' for anyone of legal age to join her.

Lando Norris goes public with girlfriend Margarida Corceiro at Hungarian GP
Lando Norris was seen arriving at the track with his girlfriend Margarida Corceiro for the first time this season. The British driver, 25, was all smiles when he walked into the McLaren motorhome with the Portuguese actor and model this morning. Fox Sports, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every practice, qualifying session and race in the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship™ LIVE in 4K. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Norris has rekindled his relationship with Corceiro this season but has kept things low-key up until now, with her often walking into the paddock alone. The couple arrived today just seconds apart from Oscar Piastri, who was holding hands with girlfriend Lily Zneimer. Norris and Corceiro previously dated for a year from around May 2023, The Sun reports. She was first spotted back on the scene this year, supporting him from the McLaren garage at the Monaco Grand Prix at the end of May where he secured a glittering win. Norris and Corceiro's first spell together came shortly after the model had just split from Portuguese footballer Joao Felix. Their relationship split at the time when the Portuguese footballer's initial loan spell at Chelsea came to an end last year. Norris and Corceiro were then seen at the Monte Carlo Masters final in April 2024, although there was no official confirmation of their relationship. The romance was short-lived, though and in August 2024, Norris said he was single. When asked if he wanted a dog he gave a short response, saying: 'I don't have time for a dog. 'If I do, I need a girlfriend, I don't have one.' Corceiro lit up the paddock and the McLaren garage on Saturday in a revealing plunging dress. Lando needs all the support he can get this term from his loved ones with him locked in a fiercely close title race with his teammate Piastri. There are just 16 points separating the two ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
