Romeo Beckham has appeared to align himself with his parents amid the ongoing rift within the Beckham family after he was seen liking a social media post critical of his sister-in-law, Nicola Peltz. The move comes as tensions between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, continue to unfold publicly.
The 23-year-old’s interaction with a video posted by influencer Ash Cantley quickly drew attention online. In the clip, Cantley alleged that Nicola Peltz was at the centre of the dispute and claimed that David and Victoria were attempting to rescue their son. Social media users were quick to highlight Romeo’s apparent endorsement, fuelling speculation that divisions within the family remain unresolved.
Context Behind the Dispute
The latest development follows reports that Brooklyn Beckham recently described his parents, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, as controlling in a strongly worded public statement. The reported remarks marked a significant escalation in what had previously been viewed as private family tensions.
The Beckham family, long regarded as one of Britain’s most high-profile celebrity dynasties, has rarely aired internal disputes in public. David Beckham, the former England captain, and Victoria Beckham, a former Spice Girl turned fashion designer, have cultivated a carefully managed public image over decades. The emergence of open disagreement has therefore drawn intense media scrutiny.
Situation Overview
The tensions appear to have intensified in recent weeks across social media platforms, where subtle gestures have been interpreted as signals of allegiance. Romeo’s liked video suggested support for his parents’ position, while other family members have made posts that observers see as attempts to project unity.
Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, shared a behind-the-scenes image from Cruz’s tour rehearsals featuring an instrument case labelled Harper’s brother. She tagged both Cruz and Harper Beckham and added a supportive caption. Meanwhile, Harper herself posted images on Instagram featuring all three of her brothers, including Brooklyn, expressing affection and describing them as the best big brothers in the world. Those posts were initially visible only to followers of her private account before being reshared by Victoria Beckham.
Key Developments
Despite these public gestures, reports suggest that Brooklyn and Harper are not currently in contact. Brooklyn is said to feel protective toward his younger sister, though he does not follow her on Instagram. It remains unclear whether he has blocked her account.
Further complicating matters, Brooklyn is reported to have sent a legal letter to his parents requesting that future communication be conducted through lawyers. He also published a six-page statement last month criticising his parents, in which Harper was not mentioned.
In another sign of strained relations, Brooklyn recently unfollowed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay after Ramsay publicly expressed hope for reconciliation within the family. Ramsay, a long-time friend of the Beckhams, had urged Brooklyn to reflect and suggested that time would help mend divisions.
Critical Moments
The reported legal correspondence marked a turning point, signalling that the disagreement had moved beyond emotional exchanges into formal channels. Brooklyn’s extended social media statement further entrenched positions, while Romeo’s recent online activity suggests that younger members of the family may be increasingly drawn into the dispute.
Harper’s posts, later amplified by her mother, were widely interpreted as an attempt to present a united front. However, the absence of direct engagement between Brooklyn and some family members indicates that underlying issues remain unresolved.
Developments Over Time
What began as speculation about strained relations between Nicola Peltz and Victoria Beckham has evolved into a broader family conflict. Public statements, social media activity and reported legal steps have steadily heightened tensions. Each new development has prompted renewed scrutiny of the family’s dynamics.
Observers note that social media interactions have become a key battleground, with likes, unfollows and reposts closely examined for meaning. The pattern suggests a family navigating both personal disagreement and intense public attention.
Late Developments
Sources close to the family indicate that members of the wider Beckham circle remain hopeful that relations between Brooklyn and Nicola and the rest of the family can eventually be repaired. There has been no official public statement from David or Victoria Beckham addressing the most recent developments.
Looking Ahead
The ongoing rift represents an unusual public fracture within one of Britain’s most recognisable families. Whether the dispute continues to escalate or moves toward reconciliation may depend on private negotiations now taking place behind the scenes. For now, social media remains the clearest window into a conflict that shows few signs of immediate resolution.
