Brooklyn Beckham has sent the legal letter in order to ‘protect himself,’ sources close to the situation have fired back
David and Victoria Beckham were left devastated at a legal request to block all direct contact with their son. The pair were left shattered after receiving a lawyer’s letter from Brooklyn and new wife Nicola last summer asking them to stop reaching out to them, or even mentioning them on social media.
The approach is viewed in some quarters as “ridiculously heavy-handed and over the top”, amid questions whether Brooklyn is the one driving the action.
But another source with knowledge of the situation said: “Nobody had ever wanted to do something like this, but unfortunately, Brooklyn’s request had constantly gone ignored by his family…he did what he had to do to protect himself.”
The letter – sent by the couple’s law firm Schillings to Harbottle and Lewis, who rep the Beckhams – was merely a request and hasn’t led to action. But news of its existence comes after Nicola and her family have previously sued their wedding planners, and dog groomers.
Some have questioned whether Brooklyn’s best interests were being best served when it came to rebuilding relationships. It comes amid previous claims Nicola was “controlling” him. But others say Brooklyn is “very much his own man” and described any suggestion Nicola was calling the shots as “misogynistic.” It’s understood that going legal was a “last resort for all of them”. They had hoped to resolve things privately and diplomatically, it’s said.
It’s understood that David and Victoria had only reached out to the couple in order to try and meet up and resolve things. The legal approach is said to have blindsided them.
Nicola’s father has previously hired lawyer Marty Singer, who repped Prince Andrew and Bill Cosby, to sue wedding planners Nicola Braghin and Arianna Grijalba, who oversaw Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding in 2022. The case was eventually settled.
The Beckhams are understood to still be hopeful that one day the feud will resolve. A friend previously said they would “always be there” for their son. The feud blew up after Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations in London.
The Mirror revealed last week how Brooklyn was still in touch with both sets of grandparents. A source said: “While things between him and his parents are over… Brooklyn is still very fond of his grandparents. There is a lot of love for them, and that has never faltered.”
A particular low point came when they failed to invite the Beckhams to see them renew their wedding vows, three years on from tying the knot. Speaking about the ceremony last August, Brooklyn said: “We just wanted a really beautiful experience.To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun.”
