Brooklyn Beckham 'tells his family he wants no contact' as feud intensifies
Brooklyn Beckham's relationship with his family is said to have become so strained that he now reportedly "wants no contact" with them.
The aspiring chef, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have long been at the centre of a highly publicised feud with David and Victoria Beckham. That rift now appears to extend to his siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper — with whom he was once very close.
David Beckham, 50, is expected to be knighted by King Charles this Friday. While a source claims Brooklyn is "thrilled" for his father, saying the honour has been a long time coming, they allege he only learned of the news via media reports — not directly from his family.
A source close to the Beckhams told Page Six: 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.'
However, a source representing Brooklyn denied this narrative, saying: 'Everyone's focus should be David Beckham's great honour.'
The Standard has contacted representatives for David, Victoria and Brooklyn Beckham for comment.
Brooklyn and Peltz married in April 2022, and tensions between Peltz and Victoria have reportedly simmered ever since. The pair were notably absent from David's 50th birthday celebrations last month.
They fuelled speculation after appearing together on the cover of the German edition of Glamour magazine last week.
In the shoot, Brooklyn posed shirtless, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that he had altered a tattoo once dedicated to his mother.
The original ink, reading "mama's boy" over his heart, now appears to be covered by a large floral design, believed to represent Peltz's wedding bouquet.
Brooklyn is said to have around 100 tattoos — with approximately 70 of them dedicated to Nicola and her family.
Victoria Beckham is reportedly experiencing sleepless nights and has described the situation as her "worst nightmare".
An insider told the Daily Mail: 'Victoria dislikes Nicola intensely and it's been war behind the scenes pretty much ever since the wedding. It's always been a tug of war about Brooklyn, and Victoria has not wanted to let go.'
They added: 'Victoria feels he has been absorbed into the Peltzes and that his life is all about that family… Even when Nicola and Brooklyn went out to Paris for Victoria's fashion show, they stayed with her family because her mother likes to go to the couture shows.'

Netflix's new mystery thriller movie gets first trailer — and it looks like a claustrophobic nightmare
I wouldn't say I've ever been particularly claustrophobic, but after watching Netflix's first trailer for the German thriller 'Brick,' I can definitely feel the nightmare of confinement setting in. The premise is simple but intriguing: a couple wakes up to find their apartment building completely encased by an impenetrable brick wall that appeared overnight. The plot immediately reminded me of 'The Platform' and '10 Cloverfield Lane,' which are two of my favorite claustrophobic thrillers. So, it's no surprise this one went straight onto my summer watchlist. 'Brick' will land on Netflix on July 10, 2025, and judging by the first trailer, it looks like a mystery thriller viewers will devour (and maybe come to fear enclosed spaces a little more). The trailer opens with Olivia (Ruby O. Fee) telling her partner, Tim (Matthias Schweighöfer), that she's leaving him and not coming back. But as she tries to walk out of the apartment, she's met with a brick wall. Confused, they soon realize their entire building is surrounded by this strange structure. Like anyone would, they start kicking and throwing themselves against it, but it doesn't budge. The water doesn't work, there's no cell reception and even drilling through the brick gets them nowhere. Instead, they manage to break through a plastered wall and find their neighbor on the other side just as panicked as they are. You can feel the tension start to rise as Tim, Olivia, and the rest of the building's residents try to figure out what's happening and how to escape. But as the fear and claustrophobia set in, it's clear the real danger might be what's happening inside, not just outside. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Along with the trailer and release date, Netflix's synopsis reads: 'Tim and Olivia awake trapped in their apartment behind an impenetrable, futuristic wall which has materialized overnight … and they are not alone. The entire building and its residents seem to be enclosed. 'What happened? Who built that wall and why? Without any chance of outside help, they must band together to find a way out. Can they solve the mystery of the wall in time — and survive?' 'Brick' is directed by Philip Koch and features a strong ensemble cast, including Ruby O. Fee, Matthias Schweighöfer, Frederick Lau, Salber Lee Williams, Murathan Muslu, Axel Werner, Sira-Anna Faal, and Alexander Beyer. This is very much a claustrophobic thriller and one that will probably have you guessing until the very end. The trailer suggests a story that leans heavily into psychological pressure, exploring what happens to people when their world suddenly shrinks and the rules no longer make sense. Plus, it's perfect for anyone who enjoys a good single-location thriller. Visually, though, it actually looks pretty sharp and stylized, and I'm curious to see how it balances dread and mystery in the right way. Thankfully, we don't have long to wait to see the mystery unfold. If you're drawn to stories that thrive on slow-building tension, this one looks like it'll have you hooked from the first minute. 'Brick' starts streaming on Netflix from July 10. In the meantime, see what got added to Netflix in June 2025.

Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom reportedly plan to split after her tour — as relationship breakdown is revealed
Trouble in paradise? Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom reportedly plan to break up after the 'Firework' singer finishes her current 'Lifetimes' tour later this year. 'It's over,' a source told Page Six on Tuesday. 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.' The 40-year-old pop star's current tour kicked off on April 23 and is scheduled to run until Dec. 7. Other insiders have also claimed that Perry and Bloom, 48, are going through a rough patch and 'spending more and more time' away from one another. 'They have been spending more and more time apart,' another source told Us Weekly this week. 'They've grown apart and aren't living the same lives anymore.' 'It's an unspoken thing that they are having issues and have for a while now,' a second insider told the outlet. 'Everyone around them knows.' Although Bloom has allegedly been keeping his and Perry's relationship problems 'close to the vest,' he has been 'out and about more often' without his 'Hot N Cold' singer fiancée. 'Katy has been very busy working, and they are apart often,' the second source added. 'That has caused tension.' However, additional insiders have claimed that the tension in Perry and Bloom's relationship started with the pop star's poorly received '143' album upon its release back in Sept. Even though the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor was said to be 'understanding' of Perry's frustration, the situation reportedly still caused friction between the pair. 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' a source told People on Monday. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews,' they added. 'It's put stress on their relationship.' Insiders close to the 'I Kissed a Girl' singer and 'Troy' actor have also pointed to the fact that the pair have still not tied the knot despite being engaged since 2019 as a serious point of contention. '[Perry and Bloom] never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything and Orlando is over it,' a source close to the couple told Us Weekly. 'Things aren't good,' another insider added. The couple first met at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016. Bloom proposed three years later on Valentine's Day, and they welcomed a daughter, Daisy Dove, 4, in August 2020. However, Perry and Bloom split for a year in 2017. The 'Last Friday Night' hitmaker opened up about that breakup in 2024 during an appearance on the popular 'Call Her Daddy' podcast. 'We weren't really in it from day one,' Perry explained at the time. 'He was in a way because he had just done a time of celibacy and he had set intentions.' 'I was fresh out of a relationship,' she added, 'and I was just like, 'I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond.'' The Post has reached out to Perry and Bloom's reps for comment.

Rex Heuermann's Daughter Believes Her Dad Is "Most Likely" the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer
Growing up, Victoria Heuermann admired her father. 'I was honestly really inspired by my dad,' she said on Peacock's The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, now streaming. The two worked together at her father Rex Heuermann's New York City architecture firm right up until the day he was arrested and accused of being the elusive Gilgo Beach serial killer. Authorities believe that Heuermann killed seven women — possibly in the basement of his family's home in Massapequa Park on Long Island — by allegedly carefully coordinating the targeted attacks at times when his wife and children were out of town. The shocking allegations have left Heuermann's family reeling as they try to reconcile the disturbing accusations with the family man they knew and loved. Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer's Ex-Wife Says 'I Don't Believe My Husband Did This' The 'Gilgo Four" Victims All Had These "Chilling" Traits in Common When Does the Trial Begin for Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann? A week before The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets debuted on Peacock on June 10, 2025, Victoria "told the producers that based on publicly available facts that have been presented and explained to her, she now believes her father is most likely the Gilgo Beach killer," reads text flashed on the screen at the end of Episode 3. Prior to that, during filming, she seemed conflicted, as seen in the three-part documentary. 'Whether or not I believe my dad did it or not, I'm on the fence about that," Victoria said in documentary. "Part of me thinks he didn't do it, half of me believes he didn't do it, but at the same time, I don't know, he could have just totally had a double life." Victoria can still vividly recall the last normal day she spent with her dad on July 13, 2023. The two spent the day working in her dad's Manhattan office, just like they usually did. 'He was a very well-known architect in Manhattan," Victoria said in the documentary, which gives viewers unprecedented access to the family and the Heuermann home in Massapequa Park. "The last thing I said to my father before I left work was, 'I'll see you at home.'" But her dad would never return home. Instead, he was apprehended by officers outside, near their office, and arrested in connection with the slayings of three escorts whose remains were found in 2010 along a stretch of Gilgo Beach on Long Island. Her family got the shocking news later that night when FBI agents came 'banging' on their door. 'They said we have evidence your dad murdered all these women and your home is now a crime scene,' Victoria remembered. 'Never would have imagined I'd be hearing that in my life.' In the months that would follow, Heuermann was charged with four more murders and disturbing details about the allegations were released. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges. While Victoria's mom, Asa Ellerup, said in the documentary that her husband of nearly three decades 'didn't do this,' Victoria, even during filming, was more conflicted about the father she once believed was an 'open book.' According to the authorities, Rex allegedly killed his victims while his wife and kids — Victoria and her half-brother Christopher Sheridan — were away on vacation, using the time alone to troll for victims he met on sites that advertised their escort asked by a producer of The Gilgo Beach Killer whether she believed it could be a coincidence that the women disappeared at the same time that the family was on vacation, Victoria offered a noncommittal response at the time. 'I don't know whether it did or didn't happen,' she said. 'At the time, I was 13 years old.' Despite being conflicted at the time, Victoria went to court to support her father, saying that it made her feel a bit like she was doing 'the walk of shame.' 'When I was in the middle of the media frenzy, I'll admit I probably felt, like, humiliated,' she later told producers. 'I know I don't have anything to be shameful about but that's what it felt like, just the bombarding, people's disappointed faces. I didn't really feel like a person.' At the time the killings took place, Victoria was just an adolescent spending most of her time at school, at after-school activities, or on summer vacations. 'That's exactly how I wouldn't know anything,' she said, before adding, 'And now that I actually look back at my childhood, I do find it very hard to believe my dad actually did this.'Victoria continued to juggle mixed emotions throughout the three-part documentary, even during an eerie walk through her family home's basement, where investigators allege the killings may have taken place. Ellerup's attorney Robert Macedonio pointed out chilling details from the criminal affidavit to the family, including details of where victims could have been strung up from the ceiling. 'See, if they really did happen down here, he really must have been like Superman for us not to have noticed anything ever,' Victoria said, before later conceding it was 'not impossible.' Given her conflicted emotions, Victoria initially told producers she was 'not picking a side' until she saw the evidence in court. 'It keeps my head on straight with everything everybody is saying," she explained. "One person's saying this, one person's saying that, the prosecutor is saying this, but my memory says this. So yeah, the fact that... I'm standing my ground and I need to see the evidence is keeping my head on straight from all this." Victoria also admitted during filming to still feeling 'some loyalty' to her dad. RELATED: Gilgo Beach Murder Suspect Rex Heuermann's Estranged Wife Makes First Appearance in Court Since His Arrest Although she has years of happy memories with her father, she told producers if he is guilty, it will change their relationship. 'If he was guilty, it's gonna start to become a love/hate relationship,' Victoria said. 'This is my dad and I love him as my dad. The hate is this other side of him that came out, and going forward, I'm not going to interact with him the same way I would have if this never happened. Both the feelings, love and hate, can co-exist.'
