David and Victoria Beckham are adamant that they would never intentionally stop following their eldest son, Brooklyn, on Instagram.
Sources close to the couple have revealed that the unusual social media split appears to be Brooklyn’s doing, signaling a deeper estrangement from the family.
Friends of the couple describe it as unimaginable for David and Victoria to make such a decision, emphasizing that their love for Brooklyn remains unwavering.
“They will always be here for him and want him to know that,” a source said.
“So far from this being their choice, it seems Brooklyn has blocked them, making it clear this is final.”
Social Media Fallout Highlights Family Rift
The Instagram situation marks one of the most public signs of the ongoing family feud.
For David and Victoria, following Brooklyn had been a small but meaningful way to stay connected, giving them insight into his life despite months of limited communication.
Now, with Brooklyn’s block, even this connection has been severed.
“It is very clear that this is a sign of his complete estrangement from his family,” the source continued.
“They haven’t spoken for months, and this was their last link to him.”
Brooklyn Plans Christmas Away From the Beckham Family
The timing of the fallout is particularly poignant as the festive season approaches.
Brooklyn, 26, is expected to remain in the United States this Christmas rather than joining David, Victoria, and his younger siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper at the family’s Cotswolds estate.
Instead, he will celebrate with his wife Nicola Peltz’s family in Miami.
Cruz, 20, confirmed the situation on Instagram, clarifying that it was Brooklyn who initiated the block.
“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… We woke up blocked, as did I,” he wrote, emphasizing that the parents remain committed to their children.
Nicola and Brooklyn Stay Close to Her Family
Brooklyn and Nicola have chosen to spend the holiday with her family in Florida, highlighting the widening gap between him and the Beckhams.
Photographs from their Palm Beach mansion show the couple enjoying time with Nicola’s brother Bradley, reinforcing their decision to make new memories with her side of the family.
Sources say the move is a disappointment for David, Victoria, and the younger Beckham children, who will miss Brooklyn this Christmas.
Yet, it appears the couple is prioritizing their immediate family unit while maintaining distance from the ongoing tensions.
Attempts at Reconciliation Have Been Ignored
In the weeks leading up to the holiday, David and Cruz have made small gestures toward Brooklyn, sharing throwback photos and heartfelt messages on social media.
David posted a picture with Brooklyn and his younger brothers, while Cruz shared images from a beach outing in Brazil, hoping to bridge the gap.
Despite these efforts, Brooklyn has not reciprocated.
His absence at David’s 50th birthday in May and lack of acknowledgment of his father’s recent knighthood underline the depth of the family divide.
Grandparents Heartbroken by the Estrangement
Brooklyn’s grandparents, Jackie and Tony Adams on Victoria’s side, and Sandra Beckham on David’s, have been particularly affected by the rift.
Jackie placed a stocking for Brooklyn alongside the other grandchildren in a gesture of hope that he might reconnect for the holidays, but sources say both grandmothers are deeply saddened by the uncertainty.
“They’re not getting any younger, and nobody knows when they’ll see Brooklyn again,” a source said.
“It’s Jackie and Sandra who everyone feels so sorry for.”
Beckham Family Prepares for a Different Kind of Christmas
David and Victoria are set to spend part of the festive season at their Miami waterfront home, which they purchased for £60 million.
Last year, Brooklyn and Nicola joined them there, and the family celebrated together, creating happier memories.
This year, the couple focuses on staying strong for their daughter Harper and maintaining their family traditions despite Brooklyn’s absence.
Victoria is reportedly trying to put on a brave face, balancing family responsibilities with her work commitments, while David prepares to celebrate with his younger sons and extended family.
Moving Forward Amid Family Tensions
While the Instagram fallout and Christmas plans underline the ongoing strain between Brooklyn and his parents, insiders stress that David and Victoria remain committed to showing love and support, even if communication is currently severed.
“They will always love Brooklyn and want what’s best for him,” a source said.
“Even from a distance, that love hasn’t changed.”
