The truth behind Brooklyn Beckham’s relationship with his grandparents as family feud rages on

Brooklyn, who was growing up, appeared to have a close relationship with his grandparents; in fact, he saw just as much of his parents as he did of Jackie Adams and Sandra Beckham.

Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly “still very fond of his grandparents” despite not returning to the UK to celebrate the festive season with them.

Brooklyn, who was growing up, appeared to have a close relationship with his grandparents; in fact, he saw just as much of his parents as he did of Jackie Adams and Sandra Beckham.. Despite the tension with his parents, Brooklyn has always been very fond of his grandparents, and that love has “never faltered”.

Brooklyn unfollowed his parents and brother Cruz on Instagram despite their most recent attempts at reconciliation in a depressing turn of events leading up to Christmas. When Cruz disproven media claims that David and Victoria were responsible for the unfollowing, the news emerged.

Let’s get the facts right, Cruz posted a screenshot of the article with the phrase “NOT TRUE My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.” They both woke up blocked, just like I did. On their festive social media posts, Brooklyn and Nicola received a lot of criticism for this revelation.

Brooklyn, 26, the father of David and Lady Victoria’s eldest son, has reportedly cut ties with the Beckhams and has not attended any of their recent special events, leading to a bitter conflict in the family. After being separated from his father for the holidays and Christmas and New Year with his wife and her clan, their relationship appears to have ended after they were all blocked on social media.

Brooklyn and his wife and in-laws have been hosting their 31-year-old wife a birthday party in ballerina style. Brooklyn, who he called his “prima,” has given his full attention to his wife, who is also known as his “prima,” but has essentially disowned his own family. He comes complete with a pink cake with a model ballet dancer on top.

Brooklyn is showing no signs of letting up as he continues to reject any gesture from his family despite David giving an olive branch on New Year’s Eve by sharing a sweet childhood photo of him and his beloved first-born. Even though she lives just a few minutes away, Brooklyn even missed his dad getting knighted by King Charles last year, giving them every reason to believe he won’t be there for his Hollywood honor.

The Beckhams’ Christmas break may not have been what the Beckhams’ grandparents had hoped for, as Sandra attempted to speak with Brooklyn after posting a festive video of himself wrapping up a bottle of his hot sauce in early December.

She posted in the comments section, “That for me,” in what amounted to a hint that she wanted to see her grandson over Christmas and put the months of unrest behind them.

Despite Jackie hanging a Christmas stocking for him from the mantlepiece of her Hertfordshire home, along with stockings for her other 11 grandchildren, Brooklyn didn’t see them again over the Christmas holiday. Brooklyn’s sources claim that despite his absence, they “adore them.”

A friend of the 26-year-old chef and influencer told MailOnline: “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.”

“The first Brooklyn’s grandparents knew of him and Nicola renewing their wedding vows was when they saw pictures they had shared of it online,’ says a well-placed source. He was raised by his grandparents, Jackie and Sandra, when he was little and his parents were working. He adores them, but he didn’t even tell them about this.

Imagine missing her grandson and seeing everything on the internet, as an elderly woman. They must have experienced heartfelt loss.

Hollyoaks’ Callum Kerr marries fiancée less than a year after mum was found dead

11 months after his mother and stepdad were discovered dead, Callum Kerr, the star of Hollyoaks, wed his partner Lauren Stacy in a stunning Scottish ceremony at a castle in the Highlands.

11 months after the heartbreaking tragedy in which his mother and stepdad were discovered dead in their French home, Hollyoaks star Callum Kerr and his partner Lauren Stacy have officially tied the knot.

In a stunning Scottish ceremony held at a Highlands castle, Callum and Lauren Stacy wed. While his bride donned a pencil-strapped wedding dress, Callum donned a traditional black and green kilt. On their special day, the couple were pictured surrounded by their closest and dearest, who grinned from ear to ear.

Following their wedding, the couple stood before the crowd and waved a glass in a picture of happiness. Later, as their friends hoisted them onto their shoulders to start the party, they were thrust into the air.

Callum is known for his acting role as PC George Kiss on the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. He joined in 2020, but he left in 2021 after his character was murdered.

His person’s Hollyoaks High role was to combat drug trafficking on-campus. He met John Paul McQueen (James Sutton), and their relationship deteriorated because of George’s jealousy of James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) and Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson), JP’s ex-partners.

Following his stint on the soap, Callum starred in the Netflix show Virgin River and also has stepped into a new career as a country rock singer.

At his wedding, Nadine Mulkerrin, who plays Cleo McQueen, Owen Warner, who plays Romeo Nightingale, Billy Price, who plays Sid Summer, Rishi Nair, who plays Sami Maalik, and Ellis Hollins, who plays Tom Cunningham, were just a few of his Hollyoaks co-stars.

After welcoming their daughter in December of the same year, Callum and Lauren made the proposal in 2024. Their engagement took place exactly 11 months after Callum’s mother and stepdad were discovered dead inside their Parisian home. On February 7 at their home in southwest France, Dawn and Andrew Searle, both 56 and 62, were discovered dead.

According to French officials, the deaths “were obviously homicides.” Because Mr. Searle was a former member of the organised crime team, investigators have speculated that the couple could have been targeted by French “gangsters.”

The couple from East Lothian, Scotland, relocated to the picturesque village of Les Pesquies, Toulouse, ten years ago, and moved to a rental property with a swimming pool and a two-bedroom apartment. The well-known couple quickly became involved in the neighborhood, hosting a yearly party for locals and taking friendly dog walks with neighbors.

The couple had previously been married before they wed in France in 2023, and the neighbors in Les Pesquies describe them as lovely, normal people. Callum Dawn’s son, Callum, gave her away on social media and wished the couple a “tremendous life together.”

Dawn’s body is said to have been discovered partially dressed outside the couple’s front door. A “significant wound on her skull” from a “blunt and sharp object” had repeatedly beaten her.

Andrew was discovered inside the house with a gag in his mouth. He reportedly had no obvious wounds to his defense.

BBC hires top whistleblowing team paying big money to deal with complaints about staff

Following a string of scandals, including the departures of Huw Edwards and Gregg Wallace, the BBC is now looking to replace the team that is responsible for complaints and whistleblowing.

A dedicated member of the whistleblowing and investigations team is being hired by the BBC. The corporation that currently advertises jobs for the licence fee-payer-funded charity offers high salaries of up to £120,000.

Head of Investigations (Corporate Investigations and Whistleblowing), Head of Investigations (HR), and Director of Investigations and Whistleblowing are currently being advertised for three positions within the network. The BBC has recently been the subject of a number of scandals, and the jobs are part of a company-wide restructuring.

The candidate who secures any of the positions will form a breakout unit to assist staff in leaving one division of the business. According to the job descriptions, those who apply and are successful will “play a crucial role in fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and trust.”

The successful candidate will “oversee the governance of whistleblowing or corporate investigations,” including those involving serious criminal behavior, violent and sexual offenses, increased personal risk, harassment, and cases involving BBC reputational risk,” it states.

Huw Edwards, a former BBC NewsLink opens in a new tab.” rel=”follow” tabindex=”0″>BBC News anchor, was suspended in 2023 and given a year-long salary of £435, 000 after it became known that he had paid a young man for explicit images. Edwards, a former slave who committed sex crimes and was spared jail in 2024, left the business the same year. However, a secretive whistleblower claimed that the allegations against him hadn’t been thoroughly investigated and that “things have been swept under the carpet.”

Simon Adair, the BBC’s director of safety, security, and resilience, conducted the investigation into Mr. Edwards. Gregg Wallace, a former MasterChef host, was fired by the network in another area as a result of an investigation into his behavior.

Wallace received 45 out of 83 complaints, which included comments that were racially or sexually inappropriate, as well as those that were culturally inappropriate or racist. He later apologised and said he “never intended to harm or humiliate” anyone.

The allegations against Mr. Wallace had spread throughout the course of 19 years. Two stand-alone allegations against other people were supported by a substantiated second. The allegations, which weren’t made by Gregg, involved offensive language, including racist and swearing.

The BBC apologized for “missing opportunities” to address Tim Westwood’s claims of “bullying and misogynistic behavior” elsewhere. In February of last year, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy discussed Westwood’s alleged behavior with the BBC’s former director general.

She stated at the time, “Tim Westwood’s accusations are very serious.” The BBC must have confidence in both staff and the general public as our nation’s broadcaster.

The media industry has seen far too many instances of appalling behavior, and there has been a culture of silence for far too long regarding inappropriate behavior. This is unsustainable. I made it clear to the BBC Board and Executive in my discussion with the BBC Director General that they must address the issue of workplace culture and respond quickly to the independent review they have ordered.

Westwood, who has worked for almost 20 years, left his show on Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra in 2013. Westminster resident Westwood was charged in October of last year with four counts of rape, nine of indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault. Between 1993 and 2016, according to what sources, the alleged incidents occurred. Westwood refutes any accusations made against him. He previously stated, “All of these allegations are false. He will be tried this month, he said.

These positions are merely a part of a larger restructuring, according to a BBC spokesman. We strike a balance between our budget and ability to attract and retain the best people, and over 95% of our spending is spent on content and delivery.

EastEnders’ Jake Wood says, ‘Family is f***ing hell, but crime families are fascinating’

Serial womaniser Max Branning may well rank his fifth wedding day among his most memorable – even though it isn’t happening until New Year’s Day 2027.

For a much-hyped ‘flash forward’ episode of the BBC 1 soap, which aired on January 1, showed Max waking up beside his mystery pregnant bride, only to be arrested in connection with a murder before the episode was over.

But there’s no need to fast forward by a year to find drama in the life of Max, played by Jake Wood. While other EastEnders enjoyed family get togethers on Christmas Day, he slept with Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) having fallen out with the entire Branning clan.

Jake, who left the soap last year after quitting in 2021 and working as a professional artist, claims that Max managed four marriages, 20 affairs, four children, and was buried alive during his final 15 years there.

In contrast, Jake, 53, and Alison Wood, the mother of their 10-year-old daughter Amber, a model, and 10-year-old son Buster, a keen footballer, wed in 2001 and renewed their engagement in 2018. He disagrees, saying that “Family is f***ing hell” and that Max has no control over mixed families. Is it ever straightforward, really?

There is always drama, in my opinion, in any large-scale family I know. Every family I can recall has a story, a trauma, or a secret. It’s very rarely apparent in the open. He does understand that people no longer accept bad behavior simply because they are members of their families and that times have changed.

Henning Wehn, a comedian and author, quotes Wood Wehn in his podcast, “Fifty, sixty years ago,” saying that no matter what other people’s behavior was, whether it was abusive or traumatizing, you were expected to toe the line and be a part of the family. You were simply expected to “suck it up” and proceed accordingly. There is no justification for being abusive, he continues.

It’s not surprising that Jake is drawn to The Brannings because he finds crime families endlessly fascinating despite having a strong moral code for his own family, who reside in an old school house in Hampshire. He responds, “It’s fascinating, isn’t it? ” When a whole family is combined with generations of criminals returning. Isn’t it similar to the family business? You sort of get born into those families, and then you carry on, you know, the family tradition! I believe that Sicilians are similar to that generation’s fathers.

Generally, however, Jake – who recently appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice – believes: ”You’re a family by the values that you hold and the way that you live your life. “ He also feels families have changed a lot in the last 100 years, as the world has opened up and they are less likely to stay in the same geographical area. And he thinks the traditional nuclear family, with 2.2 children, is now a thing of the past. He says “It’s not that traditional anymore. You get blended families, single parent families, same sex parents.

“Everything is much more individual, and it seems like people now have a lot more choice.” It’s a really good thing, in my opinion. Before, there were so many restrictions. If your parents divorced, your children would be bullied for it, as I once was a student.

And in terms of family life, Jake thinks that tradition is much more important than core values. The truth is that if a family has love, that is everything, right? he claims. “Love, reciprocity, support,” If all of those are present, “happy days,” I suppose. He believes that having to provide for and listen to his children whenever they need him is crucial as a father, especially as rising costs make it more difficult for them to achieve independence.

“That’s the essence of the deal,” not the other way around. he claims. If you adopt young people into the world. It’s not as though you raise them, then you let them run into the jungle and never see them again. And he thinks that helping them financially when they need him is a privilege, saying, “You’re always a parent to them, and you’ve got the means to do that, and you want to do that, isn’t it beautiful”? Jake says, “I will help you until you can support yourself until that time.” His mantra for his children is this.

Despite being a protective father, he doesn’t give a damn about the choices his kids make in relationships and believes it’s okay to make mistakes in life. He continues, “You hope you’ve made them wise choices.” Really, that’s all you can do. They teach you just as much as you do, I mean. You are learning together, too. It’s two-way communication. They just have to fit in, which is not how you as a parent should feel.

Continue reading the article.

You have to make adjustments because they have to make mistakes, whatever they do and the choices they make. Great things can happen. And because of that, they ought to be free to make mistakes. They will only learn that way, not by chance.
