David Beckham is devastated right now. The reason is one, and it bears the name of his eldest son, Brooklyn. He has publicly revealed something important and controversial that he did without telling his father or the rest of the family.
The former footballer is hurt by what happened because this gesture from the young man makes it clear that things within the clan remain very tense. In fact, there are no signs that they're going to be solved, at least for now.
Brooklyn takes a step that deeply hurts David Beckham
The news has come as a cold shower for David Beckham and his wife, Victoria. Both had been trying for some time to mend the relationship with their eldest son, trusting that time and dialogue would eventually ease the differences. However, reality has struck them again.
Brooklyn's decision to renew his wedding vows with Nicola Peltz in an intimate ceremony, completely excluding his family, has been interpreted as a gesture of emotional rupture. Sources close to the clan have confirmed that the former footballer is "deeply affected" by what happened. The wound he has carried for months has not only failed to heal, but it continues to bleed.
His son has chosen to live his life apart from the Beckhams. His latest gesture has widened the distance with his parents and, especially, with his brother Romeo, with whom he has a personal conflict.
That conflict, according to reports, has its origin in a past romantic relationship. Apparently, the two shared a girlfriend, which caused friction between them.
Although the episode belongs to the past, the tensions haven't dissipated. On the contrary, the resentment has grown, to the point of becoming one of the main reasons for the current rift in the Beckham family.
The distance between David Beckham and Brooklyn keeps growing
Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz's recent getaway with her family has been another drop that has filled David Beckham's cup. Not only have they shared images of their vacation on social media, but they've also used the trip to celebrate, in an intimate way, the renewal of their wedding vows. The most painful thing for the Englishman has been finding out about this news through social media, without having been informed beforehand.
For the former Real Madrid player, this act has been a clear show that his son has taken sides in the cold war he keeps with his family circle. He trusted that things would return to normal. Reality has been very different.
Brooklyn has shown on several occasions his preference for the Peltz family, with whom he spends most of his time. This closeness has intensified the feeling of abandonment within the Beckhams.
Nicola, who keeps a distant relationship with Victoria, hasn't made reconciliation any easier. The tension between the two women has been the subject of multiple headlines, further fueling the family estrangement.
Since his marriage, Brooklyn has prioritized his life with his wife and her circle. He has chosen to establish his personal nucleus apart from his parents and siblings, creating a void that David Beckham can't come to terms with. The vow renewal, organized without them, has been proof that the relationship is more fractured than ever.
