Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's Father-In-Law Reacts To Very Public Family Drama

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham’s father-in-law has spoken out about the public drama his family has found themselves at the centre of in recent weeks.

For the last few months, speculation has been mounting that Brooklyn is no longer on speaking terms with his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham, finally breaking his silence in a series of now-infamous Instagram posts last month.

In these posts, the Beckhams’ eldest son accused his parents of “performative” and “controlling” behaviour throughout his life, while also claiming they have “endlessly” tried to “ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, to whom he’s been married since 2022.

On Tuesday, Nicola’s father, the billionaire Nelson Peltz, appeared at a WSJ Invest Live event, where People reported that he was asked “negotiating high-stakes situations, particularly playing out in public view” in light of the drama surrounding his daughter and her husband.

“Has my family been in the press lately? I haven’t noticed that at all,” the 83-year-old quipped.

“My advice is to stay the hell out of the press. How much good did that do?” the entrepreneur and investor continued. “My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story. That’s not for coverage here today.

“But I’ll tell you my daughter’s great, my son-in-law, Brooklyn, is great, and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.”

Since Brooklyn’s posts, his famous parents have remained tight-lipped on the much-publicised family fall-out, and their representatives have not responded to HuffPost UK’s requests for comment.

However, during an interview in the immediate aftermath, Sir David did make some well-timed comments about the “mistakes” that can be made on social media, particularly by younger people.

“Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn,” he said. “That’s what I try to teach my kids. But you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”
