There was once a time when Brooklyn Beckham would FaceTime his parents on an almost daily basis. But as the family feud hits a new low, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Posh and Becksâs eldest son is refusing to even take his parentsâ calls.
Sources close to the situation say that there has been âno contactâ despite David and Victoria trying to check in on their son.
Brooklyn, 26, it seems, isnât prepared to bury the hatchet and speak to his once-beloved mother and father.
Friends suspect Brooklynâs wife, actress Nicola Peltz, will have had a âhuge influenceâ over her husbandâs decision to cut his family adrift, ensuring that he doesnât speak to them.
âThere has been no call, no contact, nothing,â said the source. âAs parents, David and Victoria are concerned for their son and they have tried to get in touch but he isnât interested.
âDavid even tried through social media last Monday because he fears that his son wonât know that he and Victoria love him so dearly otherwise.Â
David said that he missed Brooklyn while he was on his birthday fishing trip in Scotland with his other sons. It was the only way he can get to him.
âIt is a terribly sad situation. They just want him to know that they are there for him when heâs ready to talk to him but he simply doesnât seem very interested at all. Nicola must be behind this, she has been driving this wedge for some years now.â

David, who turned 50 on May 2, and Victoria, 51, are still said to be in shock that Brooklyn and Nicola shunned the former England captainâs five birthday celebrations.
They were no-shows at a bash in Miami, a boysâ fishing trip with Romeo and Cruz, a big party at the Beckhamsâ country home in the Cotswolds, the family foray to France and finally a dinner at Notting Hill restaurant Core last Saturday.Â
Last week, The Mail on Sunday revealed that despite travelling from their home in Beverly Hills to London and telling the Beckhams they would be joining the celebrations, the couple failed to turn up.
And since then the story, which David and Victoria had desperately been trying to keep a secret to avoid causing further friction, has come tumbling out.
It has prompted friends of Nicola to lambast the Beckhams in what has escalated into quite the briefing war.
Nicola insists that the couple didnât attend the events because they feel uncomfortable around Romeoâs new girlfriend Kim
Turnbull, apparently because she used to date Brooklyn. But the Beckhams have argued that he didnât date Kim â and point out she wasnât on the fishing trip or at the Cotswolds party.

Nicolaâs camp also briefed some outrageous claims about how the Beckhams treat their children, which has further angered David and Victoria.
âItâs difficult to see how this will ever end all of the time that Nicola is around,â said one source.
Today The Mail On Sunday can also reveal the depths of fashion designer Victoriaâs dislike of heiress Nicola.
Victoria made up with her daughter-in-law around 18 months ago following a fall-out at the ÂŁ3 million Beckham-Peltz wedding in April 2022. âThe view is that Victoria thinks Nicola is a narcissist,â said one long-standing friend of the family.
âNicola has love-bombed Brooklyn since the day they met and has tried to convince him that she is all he needs, and then she has cut him off from his family.
âVictoria thinks that Nicola has used Brooklyn for all she can get to elevate herself and that has really worked for her â sheâs a Beckham now. Victoria absolutely loves her son â she always will.
âBut with Nicola itâs an entirely different story. She despises her, she tried her best to make up after the wedding row but this time it all seems extremely unlikely. Victoria has had enough.Â
To the Beckhams, Nicola is a nightmare. She grew up in a big, billionaire family with a father â who friends of the Beckhams say isnât that different to Logan Roy from Succession.â

As for Brooklyn, both David and Victoria are worried for his wellbeing and mindset.
âIf they could go and pick him up now and bring him home then they would,â said one friend. âBut he is a grown man and can make his own decisions. They are devastated.
âThey have always treated him with kid gloves and treat these situations delicately but this one feels pretty impossible.
âThrough his entire life and into adulthood, he was so close to both David and Victoria, so they miss him. Of course, there is anger that he wasnât at Davidâs birthday dos but at this point they just hope heâs okay.â
Associates of the family also point out that the Beckhamsâ youngest child and only daughter Harper must be missing her beloved big brother too.
Aged just 13, she will probably be struggling to understand the complexities of this family rift.
The siblings have always had such a strong bond.
âBrooklyn was 13 when Harper was born and so was always so hands on with Harper,â said a source. âHe was the doting older brother since the day she was born.â
Nicola also enjoyed playing big sister to Harper.
But the couple are understood not to have spent any time with the teenager since last December.
