The Beckham family feud explained

In January, Brooklyn went public with an extraordinary social media post that laid into his parents.

One of his claims included his mum allegedly hijacking the first dance at his wedding to Nicola.

At the time, he wrote on Instagram: “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.”

“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.”
