Hollywood actress Vanessa Marcil has voiced her support for Brooklyn Beckham after the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham made shocking allegations about his parents.
Marcil, 57, praised Brooklyn, 26, as “brave,” drawing from her own experiences with her estranged son Kassius and ex-partner Brian Austin Green.
“Brooklyn Beckham is individuating,” Marcil wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside a serene sunset image.
“It’s developmentally completely normal and healthy. Brave kid ❤️.”
Brooklyn Beckham Breaks His Silence
Brooklyn sparked a storm on social media with a detailed six-page statement shared on Instagram Stories.
In it, he revealed he does not wish to reconcile with his parents and recounted moments from his 2022 Florida wedding that left him feeling embarrassed and humiliated.
He claimed that Victoria Beckham “hijacked” his first dance with wife Nicola Peltz, dancing in a way he described as inappropriate and deeply uncomfortable.
The statement has ignited widespread attention online, with fans and commentators speculating about Victoria’s infamous wedding dance.
Meanwhile, sources say Victoria was left “devastated” by the fallout, with the internet exploding in memes and jokes about the incident.
David and Victoria’s Stance
According to insiders cited by The Sun, David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly unwilling to engage with Brooklyn as long as he remains with Nicola.
“Despite everything, David and Victoria still love their son,” a source said.
“He will always be their boy, and there will always be a place for him in their home.
They have tried everything to mend the relationship, but it hasn’t worked. Right now, it feels like there’s no going back while he’s still with Nicola.”
The Beckhams, married since 1999, are also parents to Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.
Marcil Reflects on Her Own Family Struggles
Marcil’s public support for Brooklyn comes amid her own complex co-parenting history with ex Brian Austin Green.
The pair began dating in 1999, became engaged in 2001, and welcomed son Kassius the following year, before splitting soon after.
Green has described his relationship with Marcil as “very toxic” in a podcast, calling it far from “a loving, caring relationship.”
Marcil has also claimed that both Green and his ex Megan Fox cut Kassius out of their lives, though Fox later apologized for her role in the drama.
“[She] has apologized to both me and our child,” Marcil said, noting that responsibility for maintaining a parent-child relationship ultimately rests with the parent, not the other co-parent.
Struggles of Co-Parenting
Green and Marcil have had a fraught history of co-parenting Kassius.
Green revealed on his podcast Old-ish that co-parenting was “difficult from the beginning” due to his struggle with vertigo, while Marcil allegedly kept him from spending adequate time with their son.
Burgess, Green’s current partner, described the strain: “Those years that he wasn’t able to go see Kassius, Vanessa made no effort to make sure Brian got time with him… Instead, she painted him as an absent father, which must have been damaging for Kassius.”
Green added, “When I started getting better, I found out she had been portraying me as having abandoned Kass, when in reality I was struggling with brain fog and my health.”
A Familiar Story of Family Tension
Marcil’s empathy for Brooklyn seems to stem from her own experiences navigating difficult family dynamics and co-parenting challenges.
With both stories intertwined by themes of parental tension, estrangement, and public scrutiny, the situation highlights how complex and emotionally charged family relationships can become—especially under the spotlight of fame.
