Romeo Beckham 'Likes' Social Media Post Criticizing Sister-in-Law Nicola Peltz
Football star David Beckham's son, Romeo Beckham, has ignited fresh controversy in his family's ongoing public rift by appearing to endorse a social media post that labels his estranged brother Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz, as "the problem." The 23-year-old was seen "liking" a video shared by influencer Ash Cantley, which directly criticizes Nicola and suggests that David and Victoria Beckham are attempting to rescue their son Brooklyn from the situation.
Social Media Interaction Sparks Fan Reactions
Fans quickly noticed Romeo's interaction with the video, leading to a flurry of comments online. One user exclaimed, "Romeo liked this!" while another remarked, "Not Romeo Beckham liking this!" This digital gesture has been interpreted by many as a clear signal of where Romeo's loyalties lie amidst the family's turbulent period. The feud escalated recently after Brooklyn Beckham reportedly described his parents as "controlling" in a bombshell statement, straining relationships within the high-profile family.
Details of the Controversial Video
In the footage, Ash Cantley makes pointed allegations, stating, "I take it all back. Nicola is the problem. Victoria and David are trying to rescue their son, I think Nicola forced him to make that statement." Cantley further references an interview with Victoria Beckham, where she expressed her support for women, implying that Nicola's actions have crossed a line. This public critique adds another layer to the already complex family dynamics, highlighting the tensions that have been playing out in the media.
Other Family Members Weigh In
Meanwhile, other members of the Beckham family have made subtle gestures amid the reported rift. Romeo's younger brother, Cruz Beckham, saw his girlfriend Jackie Apostel share a supportive post, featuring an instrument case labeled "Harper's brother" during Cruz's tour rehearsals. Apostel tagged both Cruz and Harper Beckham, captioning the image with "So true," indicating solidarity within the younger generation.
Harper Beckham, the youngest sibling, has also posted images on her private Instagram account showing her with all three of her brothers, including Brooklyn. In heartfelt messages, she expressed her love, writing, "I love you all so much, words can't describe it," and described them as "the best big brothers in the whole wide world." These posts, initially visible only to her 93 followers, were later reshared by her mother Victoria, though it is believed that Brooklyn and Harper are not currently in contact.
Broader Family Tensions and External Comments
The family tensions have been further complicated by reports that Brooklyn sent a legal letter to his parents insisting that future contact be made through lawyers. Additionally, he shared a six-page Instagram statement last month criticizing his parents, notably without mentioning Harper. In a separate development, Brooklyn recently unfollowed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay after Ramsay publicly expressed hopes for reconciliation within the family.
Ramsay, a close family friend, told The Sun, "I just want Brooklyn to take a moment to himself. And remember: you're half mum, half dad. And you're an amazing young man. Time's going to be the best healer." Despite these public gestures and external comments, members of the wider Beckham family remain hopeful that relations between Brooklyn, Nicola, and the rest of the family may eventually improve, as the saga continues to unfold in the public eye.
