The ongoing discord within the Beckham family continues to make waves, with the latest development revealing that Brooklyn Beckham has blocked his family on Instagram. This revelation comes just as the family gears up for their traditional Christmas celebrations, a time when Brooklyn’s absence will be particularly noticeable.

David and Victoria Beckham, known for their tight-knit family, will be celebrating Christmas in the Cotswolds, adhering to their usual customs of enjoying roasts and donning matching pajamas. Meanwhile, Brooklyn is spending the holidays at his wife Nicola Peltz’s family’s opulent $103 million estate in Palm Beach. There, he is partaking in both Hanukkah and Christmas festivities with his Jewish in-laws.

Last year painted a different picture, as Brooklyn and Nicola managed to split their holiday time between both families. They enjoyed the warmth of the Beckham household and the festive spirit at the Peltz home, which included not only pajamas but also a Christmas table adorned with Tiffany boxes.

Brooklyn’s passion for cooking, often inspired by his father David, used to bring the two together in the kitchen. However, the current rift means that this year, the absence of those shared moments will be keenly felt. Victoria Beckham has often shared that Christmas is a cherished time for David, making the estrangement even more poignant.

The Beckhams, including siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, have found themselves at odds with Brooklyn and the Peltz family. Tensions escalated after the latter failed to attend or acknowledge David’s milestone 50th birthday celebrations in May.

As his feud with his famous family escalates, Brooklyn Beckham took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snap showing his Hanukkah celebrations with his wife Nicola Peltz

In 2023, Brooklyn spent time in the US with Nicola’s family, while his brothers and sister met a Santa Claus back at home. Victoria posted pictures and said she was ‘missing’ her son and daughter-in-law

Last year, prior to his estrangement, Brooklyn and his wife enjoyed both time with his family and her family, in their respective homes, with Nicola’s Christmas also featuring pyjamas as well as a table laden with Tiffany boxes (pictured at the Peltz’s Christmas)  

The Beckham clan, also comprising Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, have been at loggerheads with the Beckham-Peltzes after they failed to attend or acknowledge any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.

Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father’s knighthood in November.

On Sunday, Brooklyn took to Instagram stories to share a snap showing him cradling a present with Star Of David wrapping paper adorned with the words: ‘Night Seven, For Brooklyn’, alongside the caption: ‘Happy Hanukkah’. 

Since marrying Nicola in 2022, Brooklyn has respected her Jewish faith, descending from her billionaire father Nelson Peltz. Nicola is the one of 10 children – with two children from his first marriage and eight from his marriage to her mother Claudia.

Their swanky wedding featured a rabbi, chuppah, yarmulkes, hora dancing with chair lifts, glass smashing, and Sheva Brachot blessings, while David – who is half-Jewish from his paternal grandfather – embraced Jewish traditions.

He has previously given insight into Hanukkah at the Peltz compound, sharing sweet snaps cosying up to his wife over the eight night-long religious celebration in 2023.  

On the other side of the pond, David has already been posting holiday content after he shared a snap last week advertising a PerfectDraft beer dispenser, while posing in front of a Christmas tree and wearing a cosy jumper.

Last year, just four days after Christmas, Victoria shared a sweet snap of David and his sons

Back in 2020, Victoria spoke about Beckham Christmases, saying: ‘To have Christmas with more time to spend together is just going to be great…

‘I don’t know who is more excited, the kids or whether it’s David. He gets very, very excited. We have had Christmas music playing in the Beckham house for a month and a half. We have matching Beckham Christmas pyjamas!..

‘A little monogram with our little names on.’

David has passed his love of cooking on to Brooklyn, whose Instagram is laden with cookery videos and has also launched his own hot sauce brand. 

In years gone by, the father-son duo would split culinary duties. Last year, Victoria said of cooking on the big day: ‘David will be doing the cooking, he’s actually a really good cook. He loves the whole prep.’

Just last week, the former Spice Girl and fashion designer explained that her festive fanatic husband (pictured December 2024) is even a massive fan of the Elf On The Shelf tradition

In a heartbreaking tie-up, Brooklyn said last year: ‘My dad was always the one cooking in the house, my mum not so much. I just loved hanging out with him in the kitchen, I loved the smell of food.’

He detailed the former bond of the family, adding: ‘We never say it’s like a competition, even though we give each other a bit of stick about it — that’s just what brothers do. All of us in the kitchen. Listening to music, cooking, it’s fun. The best.’ 

On the back of the bond over cookery, Brooklyn’s mass blocking is said to have sprung from his fury over a video in which he was cooking a chicken.  

The bitter Beckham family feud escalated to new heights over the weekend, when it was suggested that David and Victoria had stopped following their oldest son, before Cruz furiously set the record straight.

On the back of the bond over cookery, Brooklyn’s mass blocking is said to have sprung from his fury over a video in which he was cooking a chicken 

He penned online: ‘My mum and dad would never unfollow their son [as reports had suggested]. They woke up blocked. As did I.’ The claims of the very sudden blocking sparked the obvious question of why he would do such a thing.  

And it’s now possible that Brooklyn suddenly cut final ties with his parents and three siblings after Victoria liked a post of his about roasting a chicken.

Aspiring chef Brooklyn posted another of his regular cooking videos on Instagram last week as he showed his 16 million followers how to brine a chicken.

Victoria is thought to have liked the post which led to a slew of comments under the post urging Brooklyn to fix the feud with his family.

Fans penned: ‘Victoria liked this post. Yay!!! Family is everything’, ‘Go and see your parents, you will regret it later in life’, ‘Call your parents.’

It’s understood that Brooklyn was left annoyed by the comments prompted by his mother’s public like – and decided to block the whole family including his sister Harper.

David (pictured in December 2024) is so eager for the holidays that he even started the tradition in November, rather than waiting for December, like most families
