Brooklyn Beckham reportedly sent his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, a legal letter issuing them with a stark warning.
Reports of a falling out between Brooklyn and his parents have swirled for a few years now, since he married Nicola Peltz in 2022.
The 26-year-old is said to have missed his dad's 50th birthday party, and the premiere of Victoria's Netflix documentary this summer. In turn, it's reported neither of his parents turned up at his and Nicola's vow renewal earlier this year.
Up until now, the most recent update came from Brooklyn's brother Cruz, who revealed that his elder brother had blocked the rest of the family on social media.
However, it seems like there has been yet another escalation.
A source told The Sun that David and Victoria received a legal letter, urging for any further correspondence to go via lawyers only.
“Truly, people do not know the full facts of this heartbreaking tale, and think Brooklyn was just being truculent when he blocked his parents," the source told the outlet.
“The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately, not publicly.
“He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately.”
They continued: “For their part, David and Victoria have simply tried to let their beloved eldest son know the door is always open, and that they still care.
“After this letter, they had no other physical means of reaching out to him so what were they to do?
“They of course feel utterly bemused and devastated by this latest turn of events. There is no malice from their part, only concern.
“But it is clear, if there is going to be any reconciliation, it will be away from prying eyes and must be done privately.
“That’s all anyone wants but, alas, seems a long, long way off given they are only now communicating through lawyers.”
