Victoria Beckham is feeling devastated after her teen daughter, Harper, attempted to see her brother Brooklyn amid the family’s ongoing rift.
“Victoria and David knew Harper was going to Brooklyn’s,” the insider continued. “The kids have had nannies and security their whole lives and have traveled on their own plenty of times, so there was nothing unusual about her going there [without her parents].”
But sadly, her efforts were to no avail, as sources told us Harper left the premises no sooner than she’d arrived without seeing the Cloud23 Hot Sauce founder. The insider added that Brooklyn and his wife were unavailable.
The chef, 27, later shared via his Instagram Stories that he was in New York at the time of his sister’s appearance.
Meanwhile, a source insisted there was nothing orchestrated about Harper’s visit despite speculation that it had been staged.
“David and Victoria would never intentionally come between any of their children and the people they love,” the insider said. “You can see that in the relationships they have with their other sons’ girlfriends.”
“That’s why this has been so incredibly painful and confusing for them. They honestly don’t know where things went wrong or how the relationship got to this point.”
The soccer pro, 51, and the Spice Girls alum, 52, also share sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21. Romeo is dating model and DJ Kim Turnbull, while Cruz is dating Brazilian-German singer and songwriter Jackie Apostel.
According to the insider, David and Victoria are “worried things might never fully get back to how they once were with Brooklyn.”
“They love him unconditionally and will never stop hoping for a reconciliation. No matter how difficult things have become, he’s their son and that will never change,” the source said. “But David and Victoria are terrified because they feel like they’ve lost their son and they feel like there’s a wall between them and Brooklyn that they just can’t seem to get through.”
The latest setback comes a day after Brooklyn appeared to take a jab at his parents in a DoorDash World Cup advertisement.
In the commercial, Brooklyn referenced his “complicated” relationship with his parents and siblings in a DoorDash ad shared on his Instagram Monday.
“You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home,” he said in the video while sitting on his couch wearing a sweatshirt and jeans. “It’s a long story,” he said with a laugh as he tossed World Cup tickets onto his coffee table.
While the ad went viral, the source said the commercial itself hit home for the Beckhams in more ways than one.
“It’s disappointing, but at this point it goes beyond a commercial,” the insider said. “It’s not really about the ad itself. For David and Victoria, it’s another example of private family matters becoming public, and that’s what’s upsetting.”
Brooklyn and Peltz, 31, tied the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony in April 2022 in Palm Beach, Fla.
In a bombshell statement posted to Instagram in January, Brooklyn accused his parents of controlling the family’s public image and leaking stories to the press about him and Peltz.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote, adding, “For my entire life, my parents have controlled the narrative in the press about our family.”
The eldest son of David and Victoria also claimed they had been “trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Peltz since before their 2022 wedding. He alleged Victoria canceled plans to make Peltz’s wedding dress at the last minute and said family members told him before the ceremony that Peltz was “not blood” and “not family.”
Brooklyn accused his parents of prioritizing “Brand Beckham” over family relationships, writing that “family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media.”
He also pushed back against speculation that Peltz controls him, insisting, “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
