Elton John, 78, makes feelings clear on Brooklyn Beckham ‘feud’ as he shares eight-word statement to godson
Singer Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish have both weighed in on the apparent rift between his godson Brooklyn Beckham and parents David and Victoria.
Despite being friends with the power couple for more than three decades, Sir Elton shared a supportive message to the oldest Beckham brother, who is understood to be feuding with his family.
Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have been making headlines for seeming to snub the Beckhams in recent months, with the couple failing to attend several milestone events.
Brooklyn also remained silent on social media during his parents’ birthdays and didn’t react to a heartfelt post from his dad on Father’s Day.
While none of the family have addressed the feud rumours directly, Brooklyn and his two younger brothers Romeo and Cruz have been sharing cryptic statements on social media, with the oldest Beckham child notably stating on Instagram he would “always choose” his wife.
On Monday, he shared a post dedicated to Peltz to mark five years since he proposed to her, and pointedly wrote in the caption that it had been the “best decision ever”.
Neither David or Victoria publicly responded to the photo, with no social media likes from them, but godfather John emphasised his loyalties to the young Beckhams.
He tagged the pair in the comment section and shared: “Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple.”
His husband Furnish, 62, also shared a supportive comment as he wrote: “Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.”
The public show of support comes as the couple have largely faced criticism from the general public for the alleged rift.
It may come as a surprise to David and Victoria, who have long been friends with the Rocket Man hit-maker, with the former footballer known to affectionately call the singer “uncle Elton”.
While theories of a rift have intensified in the last few months, rumours of tension between the Beckhams first emerged shortly after Brooklyn and Nicola’s April 2022 wedding.
Speculation whirled when fans noticed Nicola didn’t share photos of her in-laws on social media, which was worsened when it was revealed Nicola didn’t wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria.
More recently, the couple didn’t attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations, with Brooklyn failing to respond to or share his own social media posts for other occasions such as Father’s Day.
To mark the occasion, David shared a post that many interpreted as an olive branch to his son.
It read: “I will always be there, no matter what” alongside snaps of the whole family, including Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 13.
He added: “My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…
“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine,” before tagging each of his children in the message.
