He then played for the Brentford B team until retiring from professional football in 2024 to focus on his fashion career.
In April 2022, the Beckham feud began after the wedding of Brooklyn Beckham, 27, and actress Nicola Peltz, 31.
This sparked rumours regarding Peltz’s decision to wear a Valentino wedding dress rather than a Victoria Beckham design.
The feud escalated after the couple renewed their vows without the Beckham family’s presence.
After this, Brooklyn posted a statement to his Instagram story where he accused his parents of controlling the press narrative, bribing him, and disrespecting his wife, and he ended by revealing that he does not want to reconcile.
David and Victoria Beckham have not commented, however, their youngest son Cruz, 21, has actively liked social media posts criticising Brooklyn.
