Romeo Beckham has ‘liked’ an Instagram post that states ‘Nicola Peltz is the problem’ in his estranged brother Brooklyn’s feud with his family.

The Beckham clan has been torn apart in recent weeks after Brooklyn issued a six-page statement declaring he has no wish to reconcile with his family, and accused his parents David and Victoria of ‘controlling’ him and trying to ruin his marriage.

While much of the Beckham family have maintained a stoic silence since the statement, Romeo appeared to take a swipe at his estranged brother when he appeared in a video with the caption: ‘Imagine hating and we’re just here like.’

But now the model has shared his most telling sign yet about the family’s feelings on the feud, reacting to a video from a pop culture influencer on Instagram.

Social media star Ash Cantley shared a video claiming that ‘Victoria and David are trying to rescue their son,’.

Romeo has since ‘liked’ the clip, offering a hint at his true reaction to Brooklyn’s feud with his family.

In the video, Ash says: ‘I take it all back. Nicola is the problem. Victoria and David are trying to rescue their son, I think Nicola forced him to make that statement.

‘I saw an interview with Victoria, and she was like ”I’m a girls’ girl, I love girls, that’s why I have the business I have, and you have to be a real a-hole for me not to like you”

‘And I was like ”oh yeah Nicola’s an a**hole.”

Later in the clip, she continued: ‘And then when you look at Nicola’s friends, the amount of people who have dropped her. Selena Gomez? Like your reputation matters, and her reputation is really bad.

‘I saw an interview with David, this was like right after Brooklyn released his statement, and he’s like ”you know, kids make mistakes, and you have to let them make mistakes”, and it was like a very grounded answer.

‘I was like ”he and Victoria, thought they may have issues, no family’s perfect, are grounded adults, and Brooklyn and Nicola, I imagine that relationship to be very controlling, very isolating, and the whole Anwar, Nicola thing adds to that.’

Detailing Nicola’s relationship with Anwar Hadid, Ash continued: ‘Nicola dated Anwar when he was a teenager, Anwar cut off his family for three years too, so there’s a pattern here that I think we need to look as a whole.

‘I feel bad for Brooklyn, because I do feel like, I do believe he feels these things. I think his wife is pushing him to come out and defend her publicly.

‘And also, people have privately messaged me who know Victoria, who said she’s devastated about all of this. Like I don’t hear bad things about her.

‘I do think it was a mistake for him to release that public statement because when he and Nicola divorce, if that happens, he’s gonna want his family.

‘That’s my opinion, that’s my thoughts, let me know what you think, I’ve switched sides.’

She captioned the post: ‘I go back and forth. Trying this pov out. Also I think David and Victoria should put up with Nicola even if they don’t like her for their son’s sake.’

Romeo previously took a public swipe at Brooklyn when Cruz shared a scathing video on TikTok, which he later deleted.

The youngest Beckham boy was joined by his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, alongside Romeo and his partner Kim Turnbull as they filmed themselves in a car alongside the caption: ‘Imagine hating and we’re just here like.’ 

This week, Brooklyn also unfollowed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay – a close family friend and Harper’s godfather – after he advised the chef not to ‘forget where he came from’ and suggested his ‘infatuation’ with his actress wife Nicola is behind the ongoing rift. 

The influencer has now unfollowed the TV chef’s eldest daughter Holly just weeks after she exchanged vows with Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty in a lavish wedding at Grade II listed Bath Abbey, a service he did not attend.   

Holly’s twin brother Jack, a serving Royal Marine, has also been blocked by Brooklyn, who curiously still follows Gordon’s wife Tana, daughter Tilly and young son Oscar. 

The Beckhams and Ramsays have been friends since the early 2000s when both families relocated to the United States, where David and chef Gordon continued their respective careers in football and television. 

With just nine months between them, Brooklyn, Holly and Jack were the best of friends and frequently spent play dates together during their childhood. 

The children would often be snapped together around the world as their parents would whisk them off on luxury family holidays to exclusive ski resorts and sweeping tropical beaches.

Gordon said on Saturday he believes the ‘penny will soon drop’ for the influencer, with whom he maintains a strong bond, and insists both David and Victoria have been outstanding parents to Brooklyn and his three siblings. 

‘Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible,’ he told The Sun. 

‘But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.

‘I’ve seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible. They’ve both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they’ve got Brooklyn out of the s***.

‘I think it’s going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.’

Ramsay, himself a father of six with wife Tana, also advised the Los Angeles based influencer to ‘remember’ where he came from.

‘He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do,’ he said.

‘But remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop.’

Addressing social media followers in January, Brooklyn claimed his parents had tried to sabotage his marriage and have always prioritised public branding over their family relationships.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,’ he wrote in six pages of text, shared on Instagram.

‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.’

He added: ‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they´ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’

Unlike his three younger siblings, Brooklyn did not appear in his mother’s recent Netflix docuseries, nor did he show up at the October premiere as he and Peltz had for the London premiere of his father’s docuseries in 2023.

Brooklyn and his wife also missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations last May, and were notably absent at Windsor Castle for the former footballer’s long-awaited investiture on November 4.

Many of the grievances described in the Instagram Stories stem from the Peltz-Beckham wedding in Florida. He accused his mother of bailing at the last minute on designing Peltz’s wedding dress, and said she ‘hijacked’ the first dance he was supposed to have with his wife to music performed by Marc Anthony.

‘She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone,’ Brooklyn wrote. ‘I´ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.’

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. 

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. 

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. 

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. 

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
