Brooklyn Beckham has finally broken his silence on social media after being accused of snubbing his dad David Beckham’s knighthood – only for his followers to start arguing with each other in the comments.
The 26-year-old content creator and foodie took to Instagram to show himself whipping up his signature smash burgers while promoting his hot-sauce brand. However, the post came just days after David Beckham, 50, was officially knighted at Windsor Castle last week in recognition of his services to football and British society and many of the replies focused on his absence.
The Ex-England captain was joined at the ceremony by wife Victoria, 51, and their children Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and 14-year-old Harper Seven. The proud family later enjoyed an intimate dinner where Victoria stunned in one of her own designs. The Ex-England captain described the moment as “emotional” and “special.” Meanwhile, Romeo and Cruz shared warm tributes to their father on Instagram, and Victoria penned an heartfelt post, calling David her “knight in shining armour… now it’s official.”
However, his son Brooklyn was missing from the celebration. His absence at the ceremony and failure to mention the milestone online fuelled speculation of a family rift.
A flood of comments under his cooking video shows fans criticise him for the move while others defended him. One person wrote: “No one cares mate, are you going to say well done to your dad?” Another commented,”“Why don’t you come to support your dad?”
However, some fans showed their support towards him. One wrote, “Let this man live. You know nothing about his family.” Another echoed the sentiment, writing, “Folks, he’s making a smash burger and trying to find joy through sharing his cooking. He’s not asking your advice and you’re not a family guidance counsellor.”
A third person wrote, ““Keep being you. No one knows what happens in families and the trolls are projecting all their fantasies of your family onto you, making everything your responsibility. That must be really tough. Breathe deep. This too shall pass.”
According to recent reports, the tensions between Brooklyn, his parents and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30, began years ago and has since escalated. Sources claim Brooklyn once told the family he wanted “no contact” – and that he even learnt of his father’s knighthood through the media.
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.” Meanwhile, a source has told The Daily Mail that there has been a rift between Victoria and Nicola.

They said, “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.”
Adding, “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.”
Jackie Apostel has been a constant source of support for boyfriend Cruz Beckham, cheering on his new music and getting close with his family as they celebrated David Beckham’s knighthood

Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel couldn’t hold back tears as she watched him perform live on stage. The 29-year-old songwriter was visibly emotional as her boyfriend, 20-year-old Cruz – the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham – sang tracks from his upcoming album during a recent gig.
In a clip shared to Instagram, Jackie was seen offstage filming proudly while wiping her eyes as Cruz performed. After the show, the aspiring musician thanked fans, saying, “That was a fun one, thanks for coming. There’s going to be more soon – more music and more gigs.”
He captioned the video, “That was a fun one,” while Jackie simply commented: “Sobs.” The young couple have been inseparable since they began dating in June last year, later confirming their romance in October by going Instagram official.
Cruz, who has been working hard to carve out his own path in music away from his famous parents, has made quite the statement with his latest releases. However, his debut singles, Optics and Lick The Toad, has raised eyebrows among fans over their explicit nature – with themes of ‘drugs and sex.’
In Optics, Cruz sings, “Take a thousand selfies in your bed while I trip in mine / I love me some mushrooms and good head and an erotic 69.” The chorus adds, “Stay high fashion, no comedown, no crashing but you wanna know how it looks, I wanna know how it feels.”
His second track, Lick The Toad, continues the edgy theme, with Cruz crooning: “Let me take a lick of you mother nature, imma take a lick. Let me take a hit of you mother nature, imma take a hit.”
Despite being the son of global icons, Cruz is determined to prove his talent on his own terms. He’s been performing across various small venues and enlisted The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard to help shape his album. Tracks include Waste Your Pain, John Lennon, Tie Don’t Fit, For Your Love, Yeah Yeah Yeah and Lick The Toad.
Cruz’s first-ever single, If Every Day Was Christmas, came out in 2016, but he’s since shown off his skill as a mature artist. His 2023 release For Ya Love even sparked fan comparisons to Oasis.
His mum Victoria has fiercely defended her son against “nepo baby” accusations, insisting he’s working hard and deserves his place in the industry.
Meanwhile, Jackie has cemented her place within the Beckham clan – as she has shown love towards Cruz’s parents. She recently joined the family for an intimate dinner celebrating David Beckham’s knighthood, wearing a sleek yellow satin gown from Victoria’s fashion label.
Following the dinner, Jackie shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute to the couple, calling them “truly GOOD people.” “There’s nothing quite as beautiful as seeing deserving and truly GOOD people achieve their dreams,” she wrote. “You’re dedicated not only to yourselves reaching your maximum potential but also each other. You celebrate each win as if it was your own.”
While the Beckhams turned out in full force for David’s big day – including Cruz, Romeo and Harper – his eldest son Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz were notably absent. The couple also missed David’s 50th birthday and the premiere of Victoria’s Netflix documentary, fuelling rumours of an ongoing family rift.
Nicola later shared a photo of flowers from her sister Brittany instead, writing, “Omg @brittanyleahpeltz thank you so so so much, these are breathtaking.”

Primark is selling a piece of clothing fans are calling the ‘dress of the season’ in three different colours for £10. Known for offering affordable clothing and footwear, the fashion retailer has launched a new style that’s said to be ‘perfect for Christmas’.
The high street chain is stocking a new Corset Mini Dress in three prints. For burgundy fans, there’s a Satin Corset Mini Dress in the chic shade. For shoppers who like animal print, there’s a Leopard Corset Mini Dress. There’s also a classic version for fans who like a little black dress. The product description states: “This mini dress has a square neckline, a corset bodice and a voluminous skirt.”
Shoppers interested in the styles can click and collect the dresses from Primark’s website. The styles are likely to sell quickly, based on the social media reaction. The ‘gorgeous’ dresses have been featured in multiple viral videos, with customers sharing high praise for the new partywear.
In one video showcasing all three styles, @Prmrkliverpool wrote: “The dress of the season has finally arrived at Primark Liverpool.” A fan replied: “Wow leopard is stunning!!”
In another post featuring the leopard print dress, @Prmksouthport praised the style. The caption said: “New major find alert!! £10 leopard corset mini dress, fab for the upcoming party season! pair with our bow heels for the perfect outfit! also comes in black and satin burgundy.”
Elsewhere, @primark.bmouth shared several videos showing off the dresses. One fashion lover wrote: “Wooooww.” Another fan commented: “Love this.” Someone added: “The dress omggggg iconic.”

For shoppers looking for something different, Primark also offers a £23 Embellished Mini Dress. The product description states: “With a square neckline and regular fit, this mini dress is finished with diamanté embellishments.” Offered in black, the mini dress could impress fans of the Corset Mini Dress looking for a glitzier style, as it is covered in attention-grabbing embellishments.
Another option could be the Drop Waist Jacquard Mini Dress. The product description states: “Jacquard mini dress with long sleeves, square neck and dropped waist.” Offered in black or red, the style could suit shoppers looking for a little more coverage, as it has long sleeves.
James Remar is the actor who played Richard Wright, Samantha’s boyfriend with a wandering eye in Sex and the City. He is now back on screens in a very different role

Sex and the City fans may need a double-take because Richard Wright, the slick hotel magnate who once broke Samantha Jones’ heart, looks almost unrecognisable in his latest TV transformation.
James Remar, who is now 71, made his mark on SATC history as the only man to truly devastate Samantha after cheating on her. Now he is returning to screens in a very different role.
Two decades after that infamous moment where Samantha caught him in the act in a Vegas hotel room, the actor has swapped the life of a business mogul in Manhattan for chaos in the courtroom in All’s Fair, Kim Kardashian ’s new legal drama that has already become one of the most divisive shows of 2025.
James appears in the series as Theodore Baskin, the emotionally distant husband of Judith Light’s character Sheila, whose marriage implodes after she strays because she feels unloved.
The show itself, which was created by Ryan Murphy and stars a powerhouse cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Glenn Close and Teyana Taylor, follows a team of elite female divorce lawyers who break away from a male-dominated firm to form their own formidable practice.
Despite its star-studded cast, All’s Fair has received a brutal critical response, as it earned a rare 0 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. But the backlash has only fuelled public curiosity and sent viewing numbers skyrocketing.
Kim referenced those stats by triumphantly asking her 354 million followers: “Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?” while sharing figures showing the series topping Disney+ charts in 28 countries.
James has previously spoken about his exit from Sex and the City, and admitted he was disappointed when Richard Wright’s storyline ended abruptly despite his undeniable chemistry with Samantha.
The actor even told PEOPLE that he confronted showrunner Michael Patrick King over the decision. James said: “I’m the best boyfriend on the show. I [told him], ‘How come you dissolved our relationship? It’s like we were the two that were the best for each other.’
“And [Michael] said, ‘We only introduce love on this show to have it fail.’ So at least he said that there was love there.’” While the SATC universe continued with And Just Like That, the revival wrapped after three lukewarm seasons, and without Kim Cattrall’s full return.
Alongside All’s Fair, James is also part of one of 2025’s most anticipated horror releases: Welcome to Derry, the prequel to It. In August HBO confirmed that filming had wrapped after an enormous 237-day shoot, with co-showrunner Jason Fuchs writing on Instagram : “Surreal. What a ride. Can’t wait for you to see this thing.”
A chilling teaser soon followed, featuring blood-splattered scenes where characters can be seen screaming while covered in red fluid. The nine-episode series is set in the 1960s.
Welcome to Derry will see Bill Skarsgård back in his role as the terrifying clown, with a cast including Jovan Adepo, Taylour Paige, Chris Chalk, Stephen Rider, and James Remar himself.
Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay will walk down the aisle this Christmas for their wedding at Bath Abbey – but not all of the Olympic swimmer’s family have made the guest list

Adam Peaty was already famous before meeting wife-to-be Holly Ramsay, who he will tie the knot with in a lavish ceremony this Christmas. But those close to him claim the working class lad from Staffordshire has been ‘seduced’ by the fame and glamour of his in laws – and no longer has time for his own family.
The 30-year-old Olympic swimmer first met Holly, 25, backstage on the set of Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, where he was a contestant alongside Holly’s sister Tilly, 24. At the time Adam was in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend Eirianedd Munro, who he shares five-year-old son George with.
It wasn’t until June 2023, reportedly following a two-year friendship, that Adam and Holly revealed they were a couple. The pair shared snaps of their first holiday together to Rome and started popping up on each other’s Instagram feeds showing they were living the high life.
One post from July that year shows Adam with his arm around Holly as they enjoyed a day at Silverstone Circuit. By this point Adam had already met the parents as he posed for snaps with Holly’s famous dad Gordon Ramsay and wrote: “An unbelievable experience… can’t begin to say how grateful I am,” before thanking Holly, Gordon and Red Bull Racing.

Later that summer Adam was spotted at the Ramsay’s family home in the posh village of Rock in Cornwall, where the TV chef and restauranteur – who is said to be worth nearly £200 million – has a mega mansion. It’s also said to be boast two kitchens, an infinity pool, wine cellar and a boat house.
By October 2023, Holly had ditched her blonde locks for a more demure brunette style and her and Adam were spotted at a wedding together. This was followed by more family time down at her parents in Rock, including with Adam’s son George, as he wrote: “My favourite people in my favourite place. You give me a peace and love that’s indescribable.”
By New Year’s Eve that year as Adam paid tribute to “the most kind, gentle and beautiful person I know” on her 24th birthday, he revealed he’d had her initial ‘H’ tattooed on his neck. While Holly is thought to have a matching ‘A’ tattoo for Adam behind her ear.
Gushing posts for Valentine’s followed where he appeared to hint their relationship was for keeps as he told Holly: “You help me become a better man everyday and I can’t wait to see what the future holds with you. No one knows me like you do. My best friend. You’re the goat.”
In July 2024, the couple were spotted dressed up to the nines at Wimbledon, which seems to be an annual event now, as well as visits to the Formula 1 track. They also enjoyed holidays to Las Vegas and LA, where Adam took a photo of Holly on a hike and gushed: “I don’t know what I did in my past life but it must have been something good, to get someone like you.”
Then that September – after just over a year of dating – Adam popped the question on a romantic getaway to Dubai.
Sharing snaps of the engagement ring, he wrote: “I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife. I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side.
“You fill my heart to the brim and give my soul peace. You have been with me when I’ve been at my lowest and helped me understand myself to navigate my own darkness. You have also celebrated the highs which have been so many, as for the first time in my life, I’m happy with the man I’ve become. You came to church with me and joined the incredible community we have there without a question.”
In a telling comment, he added: “Your family have always treated me so generously with their time, emotion and trust. I can’t wait to be joined with them too. I’ve always believed when two people are engaged and later married that we are no longer two people but we join as one and it’s the biggest privilege to share that with you.
“Seeing you show the love you give the most important person in my life, George, even from day one there was never a question about you becoming my wife one day. I’m looking forward to our life together and the many challenges we’ll face. I promise to always love you with all my heart.”
Now the couple are set to tie the knot at Bath Abbey in a festive wedding next month – but it’s claimed that Adam has uninvited his mum Caroline following reports she was upset that Holly hadn’t invited her to her posh hen do at Soho Farmhouse.
This was despite Holly’s own mother Tana Ramsay being included, as well as close family friend Victoria Beckham. But her future mother-in-law was apparently snubbed from the family event.
Caroline’s sister – and Adam’s aunt – Louise Williams, has since vented her anger at Holly, who she accused her of being “divisive and hurtful” in a public social media post.
Writing on Instagram, Louise blasted Holly over the snub to Caroline, who she says “opened her home and heart to you”, claiming it had inflicted “a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever”.
A source said to be close to Adam’s family has claimed: “Adam has changed so much since he’s been with Holly. She comes from a celebrity world, while his parents do not, and his ego and self-importance have grown. He’s no longer the lovely boy next door we all remember. It’s partly because Adam doesn’t feel his family is good enough for the new one he is now part of.

“Caroline is devastated by the rift and doesn’t know what she has done wrong. Adam’s relationship with his mum and dad Mark are at an all-time low, and now she’s not coming to the wedding.
“‘They feel that Adam started to grow distant from his family after he met Holly and they started to become more serious. There is a feeling that money is an issue. His family are working class and proud – it’s a stark contrast to the Ramsay family and some members of the family have said it feels like Adam is ashamed of them.” The Mirror has contacted reps for Holly and Adam for further comment on this story.
