The Beckham family is bracing for a Christmas marked by absence as Brooklyn Beckham, 26, continues to stay estranged from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. This holiday season marks nearly a year since the family experienced a notable rift, and the hopes for a reunion seem dim.
Christmas Without Brooklyn Beckham
Brooklyn has not participated in any family milestones or celebrations throughout 2025, remaining out of the public eye since last Christmas. His brother, Cruz Beckham, 20, made attempts to reconnect by posting throwback photos on social media. One of these images depicts young Brooklyn with Cruz on a beach in Brazil.
Recently, Victoria Beckham shared a heartwarming photo of her mother’s fireplace decorated with stockings. Each stocking represented a grandchild, including Brooklyn’s. Despite these gestures, communication between Brooklyn and the family remains strained.
Family Events and Milestones
- David Beckham received his long-awaited knighthood in June 2025.
- The family celebrated his 50th birthday.
- Victoria released her Netflix documentary and showcased her successful fashion line.
- Brooklyn did not attend or publicly acknowledge these events.
David Beckham recently won the Major League Soccer Cup as a co-owner of Inter Miami, another family event marked by Brooklyn’s absence. This lack of participation has led to mounting concerns about the strained family dynamics.
Attempts at Reconciliation
Victoria is determined to make this holiday season bright for the rest of the family, as she navigates her heartbreak over Brooklyn’s absence. Inside sources reveal her wish for Brooklyn to at least connect with his grandparents during Christmas. Victoria’s resolve reflects her hope that the family can reconcile, despite ongoing tensions.
An online post by Brooklyn promoting his own hot sauce brand, Cloud23, received comments from David’s mother, Sandra, which went unanswered. Fans have expressed concern and urged him to reconnect with his family, emphasizing the importance of familial bonds.
Family Relations and Concerns
It is reported that Brooklyn has distanced himself from not only his immediate family but also his grandparents. This distance has raised alarm within the Beckham family, particularly regarding Brooklyn’s relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30.
There are whispers that Brooklyn and Nicola, who currently live in a $16 million mansion in Los Angeles, contemplate dropping the Beckham surname entirely. Insiders suggest that they feel releasing the Beckham name symbolizes a fresh start, distancing themselves from their family ties.
Final Thoughts on the Holiday Season
The Beckhams plan to spend Christmas at their lavish Cotswolds residence, a gathering decorated for warmth and familial love, where each grandchild’s stocking hangs as a reminder of the relationships that once were. Despite the current circumstances, fans and family alike continue to hope for a Christmas miracle that may mend the rift between Brooklyn and his family.
