While Brooklyn Beckham recently called out his parents and basically brought an end to any chances of reconciliation, the 26-year-old has lived a life away from his family for a long time.
The eldest child of Victoria and David pressed the nuclear button when it comes to his relationship with his family on Monday (January 19), stating he had been 'silent for years' and made every effort to keep the family feud 'private'.
In the Instagram essay, Brooklyn detailed how he was 'standing up for myself with my family' over arguments about his wedding to Nicola Peltz, which he claims led to 'endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly'.
While Brooklyn may have only recently spoken out against David and Victoria, he has lived a life away from his parents for a long while now.

Career changes
In 2017, Brooklyn's photography book, 'What I See', released to a mixed bag of reviews.
While some praised the authentic feel of the family picture album, the book was widely criticized upon its release as being 'amateurish'.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, Brooklyn took up a new hobby of cooking and later launched Cookin’ With Brooklyn, which became a huge success.
After showcasing his skills on Today, the Beckhams' eldest launched a sake brand in the form of WESAKE, and even launched a pop-up restaurant on Uber Eats that focused on chicken tikka masala and pork dumplings.
Alongside his wife, Brooklyn also founded a charity dog shelter in 2022, with the aim to 'rescue and shelter homeless dogs in Los Angeles'.
In October 2024, Brooklyn debuted his hot sauce brand, Cloud23, apparently named after David's famed soccer jersey.
However, the celeb was embroiled in a trademark legal battle with the Beck's beer brand after he tried to branch out to a burger joint called 'Beck's Buns'.
As of late 2025, this is largely believed to have been solved.
Brooklyn's career changed gears in 2025 after he showcased his passion for cars by appearing in a documentary for Formula E called the Formula E Creators’ Challenge.
Past relationships
Prior to marrying Nicola, Brooklyn's most high profile relationship was with Chloë Grace Moretz, who is best known for featuring in the likes of Kick Ass, Carrie, and Let Me In.
The pair started dating when she was 17 and he was 15, with the actor previously expressing positive thoughts about the Beckhams, particularly Victoria.
"She's an amazing person. I really admire her work ethic and I love her line," she told Andy Cohen in 2014. "I think that as a family, they're awesome people.
“[The Beckhams] understand the travel, the sex scenes with random people, the crazy schedules.”
Wedding and move to LA
Brooklyn and Nicola married in April 2022 in a ceremony that was attended by the Beckhams. But according to Brooklyn, it wasn't without its controversy.
In the bombshell Instagram post, Brooklyn claimed Victoria canceled making Nicola's dress at 'the eleventh hour'.
He added: "My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mom canceled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress."
A source told PEOPLE that Victoria originally told Nicola that she would love to design her wedding dress, with Nicola allegedly saying it would 'be her honor' and that she'd 'love to wear one of her originals'.
While the wedding may have been eventful, Brooklyn and Nicola moved into an LA home together shortly after the big day. Brooklyn had previously lived in California when his dad played for LA Galaxy between 2007 and 2012.
Nicola, who comes from wealthy parents as well due to her father being a billionaire investor, has previously revealed the close bond she has with her mom and dad.
"My parents, their love inspires me every day. It sounds cheesy, but that’s how I feel," she previously said in an interview with Byrdie.
