David and Victoria Beckham have been embroiled in a family feud with their eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz since earlier this year, making this the first Christmas where his absence may be felt
The Beckhams are said to have a masterplan to deal with their son Brooklyn, as their first Christmas following a reported rift in the family nears. David and Victoria are thought to have been in an ongoing feud with their eldest child and his wife Nicola Peltz since earlier this year.
Brooklyn appears to have distanced himself from his parents and siblings for much of 2025, snubbing many huge family moments such as his mother’s show at Paris Fashion Week, the premiere of her Netflix documentary and both his father’s 50th birthday and knighthood.
But, as Christmas creeps closer, David and Victoria are thought to have come up with a plan to start healing the rift. According to a source, the famous couple are sending out not one but several olive branches so that their son knows they are there for him whenever he’s ready.

A source told The Sun that the “ghost of Brooklyn” was casting a shadow over the festive period, especially as they were together the year before. “It’s like the ghost of Brooklyn is hanging over their Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. Last year they were all together like one big happy family and this year couldn’t be more different.”
The source added that Brooklyn’s absence was taking its “toll” during “special days” such as Christmas and David’s knighthood. As such, they are trying to show him “how missed Brooklyn is” and that “he does have a family that loves him”, by posting pictures of everyone’s stockings, including Brooklyn’s.
Last week, Victoria took to her Instagram stories to share a video of her mother Jackie’s home, where Christmas decorations included stockings belonging to each of her grandchildren. Brooklyn’s was hung up alongside his siblings’ stockings. “They miss him dearly and would love to be part of his life, and are no longer afraid to say it or show it,” the source said. They added that they are trying to show their son that “the door is always open” and that they would like to “start 2026 afresh”.
Finally, the source suggested what David and Victoria’s feelings about Nicola may be. It has been reported that the feud between Brooklyn and his parents started with bickering between Nicola and Victoria, though neither have confirmed this. According to the source, David and Nicola have “stopped trying” with Nicola.
According to a source that spoke to the Mail, Brooklyn and Nicola are open to mending the rift, but only if they get a public apology from David and Victoria. The source said: “There is an obvious first step which would be a public acknowledgement [by David and Victoria] of what they did, and an apology. It cannot be a performative thing. There is no realistic chance of a reconciliation without that happening first.”
Cruz Beckham also appears to have reached out to his brother, through two Instagram stories. He recently shared a picture of him, Brooklyn and their father, where he wrote “Love you guys” over the top. He also shared a cryptic post where he said: “Life is too short, at least talk it out.”
A representative for the Beckhams was contacted for comment.
