After giving us a tantalising glimpse of life behind the scenes of Brand Beckham in husband David's 2023 docuseries, Victoria Beckham is currently preparing to reveal even more in her own much-awaited Netflix show - something she has likened to ‘therapy’. And one thing that might feature large in the project - which is currently shooting - is the ongoing feud with oldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz 30.
heat has been told that, as well as looking at Vic's career, the documentary will also feature a great deal of family material - which will involve VB, 51, breaking her silence on the drama.
‘Vic has promised she will open up about everything and Nicola won't be off limits’ says an insider. ‘She will make sure it's done in a classy way, but she wants to show Nicola who's in charge. Vic is trying her best to keep a dignified silence, because she loves Brooklyn and doesn't want to damage their relationship beyond repair. But she's furious with how Nicola is treating the family – and won't let her get away with it.’
Brooklyn and Nicola recently missed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations. and some reports say the wannabe chef has cut all contact with his parents. The bitter feud is said to be over middle son Romeo’s new girlfriend Kim Turnbull, who Brooklyn was rumoured to have dated as a teen. Those claims were denied by Cruz in a since-deleted social media post, while other reports have suggested the claims came from Nicola’s camp as cover for swerving David’s birthday celebrations.
As heat has reported, stories of a fallout date back to Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in 2022, when the heiress opted not to wear a VB-designed dress. She later claimed, ‘I thought it was beautiful that Brooklyn's mum got to make [a gown] for me and I was excited to wear it. But I didn't end up wearing it.’
Once extremely close to his parents, and siblings Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, fans would have expected to see Brooklyn catch up with dad David when he flew over to London last week for a photo shoot. but despite being just half a mile away from each other - with Brooklyn shooting a new fashion campaign with Moncler, and David at the Chelsea Flower Show - the pair managed to avoid each other completely. Brooklyn also opted not to stay at the family home in Holland Park despite its close proximity to the shoot location, and he and Nicola jetted out of London just 24 hours later.
As viewers of David's Netflix series Beckham will know, Brooklyn's upbringing was unconventional, with his parents admitting that their eldest was the most impacted by the press hysteria they faced at the height of their careers.
In the spotlight almost from birth, Brooklyn revealed last year, ‘There's a lot [in the docu] of me growing up when my dad was playing for Manchester United and my mum was in the Spice Girls, and how hectic it was. I think people realised a little bit when that came out and were like, “Oh shit, he had it tough. He was really young”’.
We're told this is something that still concerns Victoria to this day, with our source saying she thinks it would benefit Brooklyn to talk more about it. ‘Vic worries so much about Brooklyn, and would love for him to take part in her show and talk about his experiences growing up,’ our insider says.
‘She knows that Brooklyn went through a lot as a child and didn't have a normal upbringing. She would love for them to discuss that further - if it has played any role in it in how he is now and if it's the reason why he is distancing himself from them. The only condition would be for Nicola not to be there, as Vic feels she would stir things up even more.’
According to Netflix, VB’s as-yet-unamed documentary will end filming in June. David has previously revealed that he had to persuade his wife to agree to her own series, saying, ‘It wasn't the easiest thing... but in my opinion, she was the star of my documentary. So, I just thought this is the opportunity, because she's been working on our brand for the last 18 years.’
In February, heat revealed that Victoria will be more candid about David's cheating scandal with his PA Rebecca loos in 2003 then he was in his series - although he has always denied the claims. An insider said, ‘filming is a lot more emotional than producers originally thought it would be. Vic wants to show off her life warts-and-all, and there were a lot of tears. It was the toughest time of her life and it still hurts to talk about, but they’re so strong now that she can be open.’
And we're told that, while there are many topics that Posh will broach, it's the family fallout that is the most anticipated. Our insider says, ‘Vic will talk about her time in the Spice Girls, their fallouts, and the pressure they were put on to reunite, as well as who has supported her. She’ll also speak on her other high profile fallouts and dramas - but it's going to be the feud with Brooklyn and Nicola that everyone wants to know about.’
