On 31/12/2025, David Beckham shared a series of old photos for the year-end, including a picture with his eldest son, Brooklyn. Beckham captioned the post: "So lucky to have an amazing family", "I'm a lucky dad", and "Love you all. Let's head into 2026". These heartfelt messages come amid reports of a strained relationship between the football icon and his son.
Beckham also posted a 2025 year-in-review, highlighting memorable moments with his family and close friends. Notably, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were absent from this collection of pictures. The couple has been conspicuously absent from several important family events recently, including Beckham's 50th birthday party, his knighthood ceremony, and the Inter Miami club's MLS Cup championship celebration. The last time all members of the Beckham family were seen together in a picture was Christmas 2024, with Brooklyn and Nicola missing from all subsequent family celebrations.

In late December, Brooklyn Beckham spent the holidays with his wife's family, taking photos with Nicola Peltz's parents, billionaire Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner. Brooklyn's actions garnered public attention amid reports of strained relations with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Before Christmas, Brooklyn reportedly blocked his parents' and younger brother Cruz's Instagram accounts.
According to Us Weekly, Brooklyn is not enthusiastic about reconciling with his family. A source stated, "He is focused on building a peaceful, quiet life with Nicola. They have created their own world and are content with it. They want things to settle naturally, rather than trying to mend a relationship that is still strained."
Rumors of discord within the Beckham family have circulated since April. Some sources suggested Brooklyn was uncomfortable with his younger brother Romeo dating DJ Turnbull, who was reportedly his ex-girlfriend, and did not want to see her at family gatherings. However, Cruz denied that his elder brother and Turnbull had ever been in a relationship. Another source indicated Brooklyn wants his parents to apologize to Nicola, believing they are the cause of recent disagreements that have hurt his wife.

In August, Brooklyn and Nicola drew attention when they held a "second wedding" but did not invite the groom's side of the family. According to The Sun, Vic-Beck and the other children only learned of the event through the media.
