The football player is seen in tears as he talks about being a proud father after his son Brooklyn accused his parents of “controlling” him.
In a resurfaced video amid his feud with son Brooklyn, an emotional David Beckham struggled to hold back tears and expressed his pride in his children. Brooklyn criticised his famous parents in a bombshell statement released earlier this week.
David tearfully admitted to being “in awe” of his four children in a clip from his 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham. He said, “They might not be as good as they could, but they are,” which is why I take pride in raising my kids. And I’m so impressed by the way my kids turned out. In one scene, Brooklyn and David can be seen enjoyingly cooking together.

On Monday night, Brooklyn sensationally claimed “Brand Beckham comes first” and slammed his parents for controlling the narrative about him and his wife Nicola Peltz. In his lengthy statement, he said he received “endless attacks”.
“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,” he said in a statement.
My family values endorsements and public exposure above all else, according to my brothers, who were sent to attack me on social media before they abruptly blocked me last Summer. First is Brandy Beckham. Family “love is determined by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you put everything on hold to pose for a family photo even when it comes at the expense of our professional obligations.”
We have made an effort to support our ideal family by appearing at every fashion show, party, and press event for years. However, my mother refrained when my wife once requested her assistance in rescuing displaced dogs from the LA fires.
My wife’s control over me is completely inconsistent. My parents have controlled me most of my life. I had a lot of anxiety growing up.
Brooklyn has now doubled down on his animosity toward his parents by altering one of his supporters’ tattoos to one of his social media profile pictures.
He claimed that his parents had tried to “ruin” his relationship with Nicola, but things only started to get worse once their wedding in 2022. When Victoria’s team pulled out of making the gown, Brooklyn claimed that Nicola was left without a dress “at the eleventh hour” for the big day.
He added that his “parents repeatedly pressured and bribed me into giving away my name, which would have affected my wife and our future children.”
In an interview yesterday, David spoke about the “mistakes” his children make on social media. He said: “I have always spoken about social media and the power of social media … For the good and for the bad.
What kids can access these days can be dangerous, they say. However, what I’ve learned to be true, especially in my own relationships with my children. For UNICEF, I’ve been able to use my platform for my following. And it has been the most effective tool for educating children about what’s happening in the world. I’ve tried to educate my children in the same way. Children are permitted to make mistakes, but they do so. They learn in that manner. That is what I try to impart to my children. You sometimes have to allow them to make those errors as well.
