Brooklyn Beckham Shares Explosive Family Claims and Backs Wife Nicola—but Who Wins the Beckham vs. Peltz Real Estate Battle?

Brooklyn Beckham has broken his silence on his bitter feud with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, in a series of jaw-dropping social media posts in which he accused them of sabotaging his relationship with his wife, Nicola.

The 26-year-old eldest child of David, 50, and Victoria, 51, took to Instagram to share his explosive version of his diminished relationship with his parents, revealing that he had no desire to "reconcile" with his family.

"I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed. I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life," Brooklyn said in a post on Instagram Stories.

Throughout the next six posts, Brooklyn claimed that his parents have "controlled narratives in the press" about their family, alleging that his mom and dad have been "trying endlessly to ruin my relationship before my wedding and it hasn't stopped."

He went on to describe multiple moments in which, he alleged, his family tried to cause conflicts with him and Nicola. Brooklyn claimed that Victoria canceled the making of Nicola's wedding dress and "repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe" him into "signing away the rights" to his name.

"Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders," Brooklyn claimed.

Further in his post, the chef claimed that his mom attempted to sabotage his wedding by dancing "very inappropriately" on him during what was meant to be his and Nicola's romantic first dance.

"My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we have tried to come together as one," he alleged.

In another post, he claimed, "The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life."

Brooklyn ended his post by noting, "My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want [is] peace, privacy and happiness for us, and our future family."

While the Beckham family feud dominates headlines, another form of prestige offers a quieter measure of influence and wealth. Realtor.com® has now lifted the lid on the property portfolios of the Beckhams and Nicola's parents, Nelson and Claudia Heffner, revealing who truly holds the upper hand.

The Beckhams' impressive $159 million property portfolio

London lodge

The Beckhams hold the keys to several stunning properties; however, their main residence is a grand Victorian townhouse in the prestigious Holland Park neighborhood of West London.

The couple purchased the sprawling property in 2013, paying around $37.9 million for the property before pouring an estimated $10 million into renovations.

The property now comes complete with several bedrooms, a spa-worthy gym, a resort-style indoor pool, a wine cellar, a fashion runway space, and bespoke family lounging areas.

Cotswolds country home

In addition to their London townhouse, the couple also owns a country farmhouse in the Cotswolds, which they snapped up in 2016 for around $8 million.

The power duo purchased three historic farmhouses to create their sprawling retreat.

The family home offers a peaceful getaway from the flashing lights of their celebrity lifestyle and features a private lake, a football pitch, gardens, and plenty of lush greenery in the backyard.

This home was also featured prominently in their wildly popular Netflix documentary, "Beckham."

Miami mansions

The Beckhams also boast multiple spaces in the U.S., including mansions in Miami.

The couple first secured roots in the Sunshine State in 2020—the same year that David's soccer team, Inter Miami CF, made its debut.

At the time, they purchased a full-floor penthouse in the Zaha Hadid-designed One Thousand Museum tower.

The home, which is understood to have cost an eye-watering $280 million to build, has been described as "one of the most complex skyscrapers to ever make it off the drawing board."

The lavish, full-floor condo was procured through Beckham Brand Limited, the partnership and licensing company owned by the soccer star.

The property sprawls across over 10,000 square feet and boasts multiple terraces, an indoor pool, luxury finishes and panoramic views of the city's skyline.

In 2024, the Beckhams tightened their grip on their real estate holdings in Miami by snapping up a newly built $80 million megamansion in Miami Beach.

The former soccer star turned MLS owner and his fashion designer wife made a play for an imposing waterfront property, which is just a 40-minute drive from the stadium where David's team currently plays.

According to The Real Deal, David and Victoria purchased the nine-bedroom, 9.5-bathroom home, which is now pending sale, according to Realtor.com records.

Described in its listing as being one of "Miami Beach's most significant estates," the expansive property boasts 14,270 square feet of living space and 124 feet of private waterfront space, including a dock.

Inside the home, there are amenities aplenty, from a gym and spa to a chef's kitchen and a home movie theater. Plus, the "sophisticated, layered, and rich" interior and exterior designs were masterminded by architect Choeff Levy Fischman in collaboration with Antrobus Design Collective and luxury homebuilder Bart Reines.

Should the Beckhams find themselves in need of a beach alternative, the home also comes complete with a stunning private pool surrounded by lush, landscaped gardens and a large, outdoor entertaining area.

Twelve-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that the home is flooded with natural light at all times, while tall palm trees on either side of the gardens allow for maximum privacy—no doubt a must-have for such a starry couple.

In addition, there is also a sizable rooftop area, where the Beckhams will be able to enjoy panoramic ocean and city views. On a clear day, David might even be able to watch his team in action from the luxury of his own home.

The property has been sitting on the market since November 2022, according to records, and was last sold in 2018 for the relatively low price of $10 million.

According to The Real Deal, the home's previous owner was property developer Niklas de la Motte, who completely transformed the home before putting it back on the market—with an impressive price increase.

The Peltzes' magnificent $400 million real estate holdings

The Peltzes' main family home is a stunning 13-acre oceanfront abode in Palm Beach, FL, which even served as the backdrop for Nicola and Brooklyn's star-studded wedding in 2022.

The couple first purchased the beachfront estate in 1987 for $13.5 million, which was a record-breaking price for residential real estate at the time.

In 1988, they snapped up the adjacent property for $3 million, where they built a guesthouse and expanded their original dwelling.

Now, the estimated market value has soared up to around $372 million.

The property comes complete with over 45,000 square feet of total living space, lavish rooms, large entertainment rooms, and panoramic views of the water.

Meanwhile, their guesthouse boasts over 16,000 square feet of space and features the a French château aesthetic.

Moving outside, there are several formal garden areas, two resort-style swimming pools, grand terraces, and several sports courts.

The home recently made headlines when it garnered a $250-a-day fine after the Peltzes built a padel court without approval.

The Palm Beach code enforcement voted to impose the fine on the couple on Nov. 20. 

The amount will continue to increase until the couple removes the court or it is approved by the council.

As of Nov. 25, the total fined amount sat at $6,750, according to The Palm Beach Post.

New York country retreat

The famous family also holds the keys to an expansive country estate, nicknamed as High Winds, which offers them the ultimate level of privacy.

The 130-acre property was purchased by the Peltzes in 1986 for about $6 million. They poured millions into transforming the home.

The dwelling comes complete with 27 rooms, a private lake, a waterfall, and grand entertaining spaces.

There is also an indoor hockey rick with a professional Zamboni.

The home is the epitome of nature and even has peacocks roaming the grounds.
