Brooklyn Beckham has publicly distanced himself from his famous family, saying he does not intend to reconcile after months of avoiding family gatherings and blocking relatives on social media. The 26-year-old alleges that tensions with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, placed pressure on his marriage and contributed to anxiety.

The comments follow a prolonged period of silence and missed appearances, fuelling speculation about a rift that now appears entrenched. While the Beckhams have not responded publicly, the situation underscores the complications that fame and public scrutiny can bring to private family disputes.

Psychotherapist Lucy Beresford says high-profile families often face amplified conflict, where boundaries blur, and loyalties are tested.

She adds that public narratives can harden positions, making reconciliation more difficult when personal struggles play out in the spotlight.
