In an interview published by The Sunday Times on May 10, Brooklyn Beckham expressed that his father, David Beckham, inspired his passion for racing, emphasising a shared interest despite ongoing rumours of a family rift.
The eldest Beckham son’s absence from David’s 50th birthday celebration in early May and reported tensions with David and Victoria Beckham have fueled speculation about strained family ties. However, Brooklyn’s comments offer a glimpse of connection.
Brooklyn’s Racing Passion
Brooklyn credited David for sparking his interest in racing, noting his father’s collection of impressive cars, including a cherished 1954 Jaguar he drives only on special occasions. On March 5, 2025, Brooklyn drove the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 at an electric car racing event, describing the adrenaline rush as exhilarating. “I didn’t think twice about getting in the car,” he told The Sunday Times, underscoring how racing brings him closer to his father’s legacy, despite their rumoured estrangement.

Bekham Family Rift Rumours
People reported that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have a strained relationship with David and Victoria, exacerbated by their absence from David’s milestone 50th birthday party, attended by siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
A source close to the family told People, “The relationship is not beyond repair. They love him and are always there for him,” but expressed hurt over Brooklyn’s distance. Nicola and Brooklyn’s anniversary celebration in April, shared on Instagram, contrasted with the family tension, drawing criticism and fueling “war” rumours.
