Gordon Ramsay Speaks Out: Victoria Beckham ‘Is Upset’ Over Brooklyn’s Claims, ‘He’s Desperate To Stand On His Own Feet’

The Beckham family’s private tensions came into the public eye in January 2026, revealing cracks in a family long admired for its unity. The estrangement began when Brooklyn Beckham, eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, issued a lengthy public statement confirming a rift with his parents. Amid the speculation, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who is close to both the Beckhams and Brooklyn, shared his perspective on the ongoing family conflict and Victoria Beckham’s emotional response.

Brooklyn Beckham “Blindsided by Love,” Says Gordon Ramsay

Speaking with The Sun while promoting his Netflix series Being Gordon Ramsay, Ramsay offered insight into Brooklyn’s motivations. He suggested that Brooklyn’s love for his wife, Nicola Peltz, and his desire to assert independence may be driving the feud. Ramsay explained:

“It’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. They say it for that reason. He’s desperate to stand on his own two feet. He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from Brooklyn.”

Victoria Beckham Deeply Hurt

Ramsay emphasized how the situation has affected Victoria Beckham, noting that he has witnessed both David and Victoria go to great lengths to support Brooklyn in the past. Speaking about Victoria’s reaction, he said:

“Victoria is upset, and with every right to be upset. I’ve seen firsthand just how good parents they are. David, as a dad, is just incredible. They’ve both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they’ve got Brooklyn out of the s–t. I just want Brooklyn to take a moment for himself.”

Brooklyn Beckham’s Statement

In January 2026, Brooklyn publicly criticized his parents, accusing them of controlling narratives about his life and interfering in his marriage to Nicola. He stated his desire to live independently, make his own choices, and confirmed that he did not wish to reconcile at this time. He also unfollowed several family members on social media.

The Wedding Dispute and Family Feud

According to People, the feud reportedly began with disagreements over Nicola Peltz Beckham’s wedding. Victoria had initially planned to design her daughter-in-law’s dress but withdrew at the last moment. Brooklyn also alleged that Victoria “hijacked” their planned first dance when singer Marc Anthony invited her on stage. Additional tensions reportedly involved business matters and personal boundaries. Throughout the controversy, David and Victoria Beckham have remained largely silent.
