'I met Brooklyn Beckham and reason why he's ditched David and Victoria is clear'

Brooklyn Beckham has been the focus of headlines after what appears to be a spectacular fallout with his famous family, who have only ever seemed to be nothing but supportive of his questionable endeavours. Who can forget his now-infamous 2017 published photography book, where he somehow managed to snap an elephant in sunny Africa that appeared to be entirely in the shade? A more introspective individual might have just moved that one to the trash album, but not the eldest child of former football captain, David.

However, years of nurturing Brooklyn's confidence may have now spectacularly backfired for the Beckhams, as shared exclusively by an insider who has spent time with the aspiring chef over the years before he packed up and moved across to the US for love, in a move not too disimilar to his new found pal, Prince Harry.

The insider, who works for a luxury establishment in London, shared: "He was very lovely, but always wanted to be independent from the shadow of his mum and dad. He would come in regularly on his own, but has not been in since marrying Nicola.

"David, Victoria, Cruz and Romeo still regularly visit. In fact, Romeo was in just the other week; he is really polite, but seemed a bit downcast. Not seeing his brother has probably taken a toll on him, as there is nothing more stressful than family disagreements."

They also commented on why Brooklyn could possibly be distancing himself from the once tight knit Beckham clan, as he appears joined at the hip with heiress, Nicola Peltz, sharing: "Well I have not met her, but acquaintances have told me she can be quite tough to navigate. I imagine that Brooklyn has to do as he's told."

It comes as Brooklyn officially established a permanent presence in the US by purchasing a £10.5 million mansion in Hollywood with Nicola. This move aims to bring them closer to her billionaire Peltz family, of whom Brooklyn frequently shares affectionate photos on social media, while choosing to distance himself from the family that provided him with his own extravagant upbringing.

The 26-year-old hot sauce entrepreneur and the 30-year-old actress finalised the acquisition of the luxury home last week, after several years of renting following their wedding in 2022, an event believed to have caused an initial rift between Nicola and her Spice Girl mother-in-law.

Few among the Beckhams' acquaintances are surprised by this recent development, given that the young couple seemingly skipped David's 50th birthday celebration in London last month, and Brooklyn can't even muster up a heart emoji to acknowledge the football legend's recent Knighthood.
