Brooklyn Beckham Ends Longtime Friendship with Holly and Jack Ramsay: A Surprising Split

Share this @internewscast.com

Brooklyn Beckham has cut ties with childhood friends Holly and Jack Ramsay on social media, following a recent call from their father to “remember where he came from.” This move comes amid a growing rift with his own family.

The culinary influencer has already distanced himself from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, as well as his siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. He shared some of his reasons for the separation in a detailed six-page Instagram post back in January.

Brooklyn has further fueled the drama by blocking celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, a close family friend and Harper’s godfather. Ramsay had advised Brooklyn to not forget his roots and implied that his deep connection with actress wife Nicola Peltz might be contributing to the family discord.

At 26, Brooklyn has also unfollowed Gordon Ramsay’s eldest daughter, Holly, who is the same age. This decision came shortly after she married Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty in a grand ceremony at Bath Abbey, an event Brooklyn chose to miss.

Notably, Brooklyn has also blocked Holly’s twin brother, Jack, who serves as a Royal Marine. Despite this, he still follows Gordon Ramsay’s wife, Tana, as well as their other children, Tilly and Oscar.

The Beckham and Ramsay families have shared a close bond since the early 2000s, when both families moved to the United States, where David pursued his football career and Gordon expanded his television presence.

With just nine months between them, Brooklyn, Holly and Jack were the best of friends and frequently spent play dates together during their childhood.

The children would often be snapped together around the world as their parents would whisk them off on luxury family holidays to exclusive ski resorts and sweeping tropical beaches.

A source said: ‘David and Victoria see Gordon and Tana almost as family. The kids all grew up together.

‘Brooklyn always loved his time with them all but his and Jack’s friendship isn’t really there any more which is a great shame.

‘Gordon and Tana have been upset at the fall-out too. They are very, very fond of Brooklyn. They’ve known him since he was tiny.

‘Brooklyn doesn’t appear to see many of his friends he hung out with before Nicola any more and that is very sad. These are people who he goes way back with and Holly is one of them.’

Now based in the United States with his actress wife – the daughter of billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz – Brooklyn recently outlined his desire to distance himself from his family in a six page Instagram statement, filled with lurid allegations.

These include the incredible claim that Victoria hijacked his first wedding dance with Peltz and ‘danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone’ – an allegation Ramsay, who attended the wedding, has dismissed.

But Gordon believes the ‘penny will soon drop’ for the influencer, with whom he maintains a strong bond, and insists both David and Victoria have been outstanding parents to Brooklyn and his three siblings.

‘Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible,’ he told The Sun.

‘But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.

‘I’ve seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible. They’ve both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they’ve got Brooklyn out of the s***.

‘I think it’s going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.’

Ramsay, himself a father of six with wife Tana, also advised the Los Angeles based influencer to ‘remember’ where he came from.

‘He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do,’ he said.

‘But remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop.’

Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full

I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.

My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.

They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.

During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.

The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family.” Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.

Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.

My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.

She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.

My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.

Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.

When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.

My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.

We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family.’ But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.

The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.

I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.

Addressing social media followers in January, Brooklyn claimed his parents had tried to sabotage his marriage and have always prioritised public branding over their family relationships.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,’ he wrote in six pages of text, shared on Instagram.

‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.’

He added: ‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they´ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’

Unlike his three younger siblings, Brooklyn did not appear in his mother’s recent Netflix docuseries, nor did he show up at the October premiere as he and Peltz had for the London premiere of his father’s docuseries in 2023.

Brooklyn and his wife also missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations last May, and were notably absent at Windsor Castle for the former footballer’s long awaited investiture on November 4.

Many of the grievances described in the Instagram stories stem from the Peltz-Beckham wedding in Florida. He accused his mother of bailing at the last minute on designing Peltz’s wedding dress, and said she “hijacked” the first dance he was supposed to have with his wife to music performed by Marc Anthony.

‘She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone,’ Brooklyn wrote. ‘I´ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.’
