‘No contact': Inside the alleged Beckham family ‘feud'
The 26-year-old is the eldest son of the acclaimed soccer player and former Spice Girl (although once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl, right?), and it appears he has fallen out with his famous parents.
Page Six reported that Brooklyn has been 'no contact' with David and Victoria since June 2025 due to a myriad of issues.
The family, though, has been reportedly in on again/off again turmoil since Brooklyn married billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz-Beckham in 2022 after a whirlwind 8-month romance.
The 26-year-old has been spending the summer on vacation in St Tropez with his wife and her family.
The billionaire gang has been seen hanging out on an $85 million, 80-metre yacht called Project X that costs $1.2 million to charter weekly.
They've been having quite the time.
Brooklyn was seen parading around his hot sauce brand Cloud23 on a jetski, and Nicola found time in her busy schedule to post a nude photo on Instagram.
Two days later, his parents and siblings arrived in St Tropez and boarded a separate $16 million yacht named Seven.
Brooklyn and Nicola didn't join them.
To increase the awkwardness, days earlier Brooklyn was strutting around on a ship double the size of the one his family boarded.
Project X has a crew of 28, meanwhile, David and Victoria's yacht was half the size and typically has around seven crew members on board.
The facts are that Brooklyn's just been on the same holiday as the rest of his family, but his version was just richer and fancier.
He also didn't stick around to hang out with them, which seems odd. He runs a hot sauce company, but he isn't running out of annual leave or anything.
So what happened?
None of the Beckhams have spoken out over the alleged feud, but multiple insiders have spoken to various outlets, and the storyline is pretty similar.
PageSix has reported sources claim Nicola is very 'sensitive' and that David and Victoria have always been 'loving parents'.
Sources familiar with the other side of the story claim Brooklyn is leaning on his wife's family and moving away from the 'brand Beckham' focus to forge his own path.
For instance, his hot sauce line doesn't feature his last name.
The wedding that ended with Nicola in tears
It is obvious that something has shifted, as before tying the knot in 2022, Brooklyn was close with his family.
He was constantly seen hanging out with his entire family including his siblings, Romeo, 22, a model and soccer player, Cruz, 20, a musician, and Harper, 14.
Back in 2018, David burst into tears when Brooklyn surprised him for his birthday and now Brooklyn appears to be avoiding the entire brood.
It is hard to know when things fell apart but things did seem to become strained directly after his wedding, during which Nicola famously didn't wear one of her mother-in-law Victoria's designs.
There was immediately speculation that there was some kind of feud, and Nicola has tried multiple times to squash rumours, but with little success.
She did address it directly, telling Variety that she was going to wear a Victoria Beckham design, but it just didn't work out.
'I was going to do it and I really wanted to, and then a few months later, she realised that her atelier couldn't do it, so I had to choose another dress,' she explained.
It is slightly hard to imagine that someone as powerful as Victoria couldn't get a dress altered in time for her daughter-in-law's wedding, but that was Nicola's explanation
ENews has also claimed that tensions at their wedding were heightened because singer Marc Anthony, who was performing, called Victoria Beckham 'the most beautiful woman in the room', causing Nicola, the bride, to leave the room 'crying', though she eventually returned.
Brooklyn's relationship with his family has reportedly been precarious ever since and this year things have really taken a dive.
The 26-year-old didn't attend his dad's 50th birthday or wish him a happy birthday on social media, didn't shout out his dad on Father's Day, or acknowledge David being named in the King's birthday honours.
He also ignored his mum and dad's 26th wedding anniversary and his mother's birthday, but did acknowledge his billionaire father-in-law Nelson Peltz's birthday.
The alleged feud has also sparked a narrative online that Nicola is somehow 'controlling' Brooklyn. The heiress hasn't addressed the rumours, but liked a telling comment on her Instagram account.
'The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd,' the fan wrote.
'The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything.'
Brooklyn's alleged 'falling out' with his brothers
Meanwhile Brooklyn's relationship with his brothers appears to be fractured.
Romeo, Cruz have been posting about their family holiday on Instagram, commenting on each other's photos.
Not that Brooklyn would be able to see any of this because he unfollowed both his brothers on Instagram, although he does still follow his parents.
The unfollow happened around the time that his younger brother, Cruz, debuted his new romance with Kim Turnbull in May. There were rumours that Brooklyn and Turnbull had previously hooked up.
Cruz eventually took to Instagram and claimed Turnbull had 'never dated' his brother.
This is all slightly irrelevant now, because by July their relationship was over, but even if that isn't true, there's still clearly tension between the brothers.
Cruz made a public dig at Brooklyn on TikTok when he was being trolled over his music career in July.
When someone asked him if he was going to 'stick with this job or become a race car driver next?' Cruz replied, 'Wrong, brother, mate'.
Cruz's reply seems like a pretty clear jab at Brooklyn, who has had quite the career path, where he has dabbled in everything from photography, modelling, acting and, now, building a hot sauce empire.

‘World's most beautiful girl' stuns in cheeky swimsuit
Thylane Blondeau, once called 'the world's most beautiful girl,' was recently seen soaking up the sunshine at the beachfront LE Club 55 in Saint Tropez. Surrounded by her friends and her partner, actor Benjamin Attal, the French model and businesswoman looked effortlessly stylish as she enjoyed the European summer. The 24-year-old sported a striking ribbed black one-piece swimsuit with a contrasting white seam while taking a dip at Pampelonne Beach. The swimsuit had a high-cut, low back, and cheeky bum, which were all on full display as she paddled in and out of the waves. Her brown hair was in a loose high ponytail, but she let it down when she went for a swim. She paired her look with chic black sunglasses and dainty gold jewellery, with her subtle tattoos faintly visible on her arms. She spent the day at the iconic beach club, famous for its celebrity and model clientele. According to her Instagram, where she has over seven million followers, Blondeau has been jetting around Europe in recent months. She and her boyfriend, Benjamin Attal, have been together since 2020, and he often features on her social media during various holidays like this one. The pair are known for their frequent PDA in pictures, but their relationship remains quite private. Born in 2001 in Aix-en-Provence, France, Blondeau is the daughter of ex-French footballer Patrick Blondeau and TV presenter Veronika Loubra. When she was just a young girl, an image of her with long blonde hair, blue eyes, and pouty lips went viral on social media. At just four, Thylane began modelling for Jean Paul Gaultier, and by six, she appeared in Vogue France, becoming the youngest model to do so. That's when she was nicknamed the 'most beautiful girl,' and nearly 20 years later, her modelling career is still flourishing. She signed with IMG Models at 15 and has worked with brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, L'Oreal, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss. She's renowned for her striking eyes and timeless features and regularly features in rankings of the world's most beautiful faces. Beyond modelling, she's also launched two brands: Heaven May Clothing and Enalyht, a haircare brand. In 2015, she appeared in her first film, Belle & Sebastian: The Adventure Continues. Blondeau has often said she doesn't believe her own hype and wouldn't 'exactly' consider herself the most beautiful girl on earth. 'When you're small, you don't really pay attention. People are like, 'You know, you're the most beautiful girl in the world,' and you're like, 'I'm not, I'm just playing with my iPad,'' she told The Telegraph in 2018. 'Even today, people are like, 'You are the most beautiful girl,' and I'm like, 'No, I'm still not, I'm just a human being, a teenager.''

The music for the hit indie game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is set to be one of the year's biggest scores
Lorien Testard has made just one video game soundtrack, his first and only commercially released work for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's being touted as one of the best this year. So how did Testard achieve this impressive feat, which has been nominated for the World Soundtrack Award longlist and praised by French president Emmanuel Macron? By posting his SoundCloud online for anyone and everyone to listen, until exactly the right person found it. 'I would train myself by composing one song every week and post it on my SoundCloud. I did this for a year.' The world of Clair Obscur is a twisted and destroyed version of our own. Paris is transformed into a city called Lumière, shattered by a gigantic woman called The Paintress who scrawls a massive number on The Monolith causing everyone of that age to disappear in a phenomenon called The Gommage. Players take on the journey to defeat this towering enemy on the expedition named after the age of those who will face their doom at the end of the year, the titular Expedition 33. The devastating and beautiful vision of this world mirrors how Testard views his music complementing the layered artful experience involved in a video game like Clair Obscur. It's more than scores and notes, it's the heartbeat that dictates the rhythm of Clair Obscur's digital world. 'I see the world of Clair Obscur like a giant painting, and I write each song to create my own little drawing musically, one for each scene and each character, to tie the world together.' A project like this doesn't usually come about through solitary work and a slew of wonderful talent were brought in to help bring this dream soundtrack to life. This includes impressive musicians like vocalist Alice Duport-Persier, Daniel Sika who helped orchestrate Testard's music and l'Orchestre Curieux whose members brought these melodies to life. But how Testard found some of these people is a wonderful modern-era tale of how the internet can be a tool to bring creators together. 'It was really important for us to have a French singer to sing the lyrics I wrote, so I searched on YouTube for singers that I really love and [Alice Duport-Persier] was by far the number one on my list.' 'I feel really connected and tied to her voice. She gave me a lot of feeling and a lot of emotion when she sang.' Duport-Persier joined Testard as co-composer on the soundtrack. 'I showed her Lost Voice in the first email, the song of The Gommage, and she said yes pretty early and the very next week she was in my house to record with me.' In the role-playing genre of video games, just like dramatic films, the action culminates in a final epic confrontation with musical pieces like One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII taking on a life of their own outside the games. These monoliths of music are the climax of a player's journey, where hours of time and effort exploring and learning the video game world are tested, and ultimately rewarded. Testard's love of video game music means he's familiar with this feeling and was keen to chase it in his own work, seeing it as his own final boss battle creatively. 'This was my first game and it's my first final boss theme for a game so I want to remember it for the rest of my life." The boss battle piece for Clair Obscur, Nos vies en Lumière, is a 33 minute journey divided into three 11 minute pieces, combining elements of every piece that comes before it to give a clear message to the player. For Testard, this wasn't just a job. It was an opportunity to finally get to work on composing something he had dreamed of creating for a very long time. 'It was like joy and luck, I feel really grateful to have the opportunity to create the soundtrack of my dreams. I see that as a gift for me." "I don't need to top that and I don't want to top that. For the future I will create what I love and what I want to create and it will be different." 'Maybe next time they'll let me do a 43 minute long piece for expedition 43.'

Flight forced to make emergency landing after bird strike destroys nose of plane
Startling footage captured the moment smoke flooded a Paris-bound flight after a violent bird strike, leaving panicked passengers covering their faces with oxygen masks until they reached safety. Iberia flight IB-579 had just taken off from Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barjas Airport in Madrid Sunday when a large bird obliterated the plane's nose, forcing it to turn around and make an emergency landing, ABC 7 Chicago reported. 'We thought it was the turbulence that the captain was talking about, but then we started hearing a noise,' passenger Giancarlo Sandoval, who recorded the frightening scene and shared it on social media, told the outlet. 'We were like, OK, something's going on.' The spinechilling video shows Sandoval pressing an oxygen mask to his face as the plane rumbled with a disturbing noise and smoke billowed through the aircraft. A baby can be heard hysterically crying in the background, as scared passengers sit frozen in silence before eventually clapping with relief when the plane landed safely back in Spain's capital. The flight, headed to Paris Orly Airport in France, had reportedly only been in the air for 20 minutes. Photos shared on social media also showed the jet's nose smashed in — with a gaping hole — and what appeared to be blood splattered on the side of the plane. 'The entire flight crew, including pilots and cabin crew, acted with the utmost professionalism in managing the situation and attending to the passengers,' the Spanish airline told the outlet.
