Brooklyn Beckham's ex reveals David Beckham and Victoria's real personalities amid feud with daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz

Before marrying actor Nicola Peltz in 2022, Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, was dating Summer House star Lexi Wood. On the Viall Files podcast, the model opened up about her relationships with her exes and their famous parents, including Brooklyn and Presley Gerber, and shared what it was like to mingle with their families. This comes amid reports of tension within the Beckham clan, with claims that their daughter-in-law is 'fed up' with the constant drama and has drifted apart from the family, primarily due to their ill-treatment of Brooklyn and how David constantly berates him over phone calls. However, according to Wood, the Beckhams are the kind of family that always has a 'got your back' mindset.

Lexi was also linked romantically with Presley Gerber (Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber's son) in 2022. Speaking about both the families, she said, (via US weekly) 'It's so funny because those are the types of families that I'm used to.' Lexi continued, 'Families that are in the industry, that give each other advice, work together, live together, travel together… that mindset is: your family has your back. Period.' She admitted to not feeling the celebrity energy, weird or overwhelming. In fact, it felt normal to her. 'I do feel like those families are great. They were lovely.' When asked how it felt to date someone whose dad, David Beckham, is often called 'one of the sexiest men alive', Lexi laughed it off. According to her, the former English footballer 'was just Brooklyn's dad.' Calling, Beckhams the coolest family, she added, 'from the jump, I didn't think anything of it. He's just his dad. They're a beautiful family. Victoria? Style icon. Honestly.' According to her, she and Brooklyn Beckham were quite young when they dated, so their relationship was more casual, and they didn't spend much time with his entire family. While Lexi has nothing but praise for the Beckhams, she also has good words for Brooklyn and spoke about the 'friendly dynamics' with her exes. 'I'm the type of ex where I'm actually friends with a lot of my exes, and I actually want them to move on. I'm like, 'Go! Good for you!'' Calling his relationship with Nicola a great one, she added, 'Especially with Brooklyn, he's in a great relationship and I'm so happy for him.' Her interview comes right as serious family drama between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria, is bubbling up again.

On the other hand, there are also reports that Brooklyn allegedly has a tense relationship with his brother Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, and now the brothers are not on speaking terms. David and Victoria are apparently exhausted by it all. 'They've thrown in the towel over the whole thing,' a source told Us Weekly. The sources close to Beckhams told multiple media outlets that both Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly asked for 'special treatment' and wanted a private meet-up instead of joining the family celebration. However, according to the insider, 'David and Victoria just want to treat everyone the same, like a proper family. But Brooklyn isn't playing it like that, and everything turns into a drama.' Earlier, TMZ disclosed how the Last Airbender star stands up against the Beckhams, who scream at her husband. 'They scream at him for an hour, then act like everything's fine.' And how Victoria always rushes for damage control whenever David berates Brooklyn. The sources who spoke to the outlet mentioned the 'toxic' behaviour of the infamous couple, who have allegedly sided with Romeo. And Nicola takes issue with that, which doesn't sit well with them. However, according to another insider, it's the other way around. 'Victoria is reportedly losing sleep over the whole situation — this is Victoria's worst nightmare,' a source close to her shared with The Sun. The tension reportedly began around Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding over a Valentino vs Victoria dress, which already had headlines flying at the time, and has only grown since.
