Ryan Giggs’ brother, Rhodri, praised Brooklyn Beckham on social media after the 26-year-old criticized his parents David and Victoria Beckham and their daughter.
Brooklyn Beckham has had support from Rhodri Giggs after speaking out about his fractured relationship with his parents. Brooklyn, 26, shared a lengthy statement on Instagram on Monday as he tried to make sure his stern views were heard.
And he received support from a number of angles, including the brother of dad David Beckham’s former Manchester United teammate, Ryan Giggs. Rhodri and Ryan’s relationship broke down back in 2011.
The Welsh football player’s ex-wife, Natasha, was discovered to be having an affair with his brother at the time. The Giggs family was deeply divided over the incident, which dates back to 2003, and ultimately led to the divorce of Rhodri and Natasha.

The affair was also conducted behind the back of Ryan’s then-wife, Stacey, who later filed for divorce in 2017. Despite the infidelity, Rhodri admitted last year that he went on to make amends with his brother, even admitting that he profited from it.
But despite their reconciliation, Rhodri was in full support of Brooklyn’s comments. Posting on Twitter/X, Rhodri said: “Can totally relate. Good on you Brooklyn. Do it their way or be ostracised.” He added a number of clapping hands emojis.
Brooklyn criticized his parents for how they have behaved over the years with his words. Brooklyn claimed that he had no desire to be with his parents and that the press has “controlled my entire life’s narratives about our family.”
The life I was born into has been shaped by the performative social media posts, extended family events, and fake relationships.
He continued, “Recently, I have seen with my own eyes how frequently they lie in the media, primarily at the expense of innocent people, in order to maintain their own facade.” But I think truth always emerges.
And he continued to assert that his parents had attempted to sever his love for Nicola. He claimed that his mother “canceled making his wife’s wedding dress” at the eleventh hour.”
He claimed that while the American actress was excited to wear the design, his mother suddenly had other ideas. He claimed that my parents repeatedly pressured and bribed me into giving away my name in order for me, my wife, and our upcoming children.
Brooklyn acknowledged that, even without his parents, he is looking forward to a future with Nicola. He said, “I wake up every morning feeling grateful for the life I chose, and I have found peace and relief.”
We don’t want our lives to be shaped by manipulation, press, or image. We only want our future families to have peace, privacy, and happiness.
