David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have reportedly unfollowed their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, on Instagram, deepening signs of a growing family rift as the festive season approaches.
According to reports, the decision came after Brooklyn chose to spend Christmas with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and her family rather than returning to the UK. Sources close to the family say the move has been particularly painful for David and Victoria, who are feeling their son’s absence more keenly than ever during the holidays.
The social media shift follows earlier claims made in July that Brooklyn’s younger brothers, Cruz Beckham and Romeo Beckham, had also blocked Brooklyn and Nicola on Instagram. While the Beckham family has not commented publicly, the reported unfollowing has reignited speculation about strained relations behind the scenes.

— Daily Star (@dailystar) December 20, 2025Despite several alleged attempts at reconciliation, including efforts by David and Cruz to mend ties, Brooklyn has reportedly decided to remain in the United States for the festive period. He is expected to celebrate Christmas with Nicola’s parents, billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and his wife Claudia Peltz, who are said to be delighted to host the couple.

A source familiar with the situation said Brooklyn and Nicola mutually agreed to spend Christmas with her family this year, adding that her parents are excited to have them for the holidays. The couple, who married in 2022, were seen arriving in Miami earlier this week and are expected to remain there through the festive season.
While the Beckhams have long projected a close-knit family image, the latest developments suggest ongoing tensions that remain unresolved as Christmas draws near.
