Beckham RECAP: Brooklyn's ex-girlfriend weighs in, Victoria goes to number 1, and more

In the comments sections, Best Quality Designer Handbag reader Lisa has got in touch to lend her support to Brooklyn and Nicola, arguing any in change in their narrative in recent times over the wedding "makes total sense" because Brooklyn up until last year was still aiming to have a relationship with his parents.

"I think Brooklyn is wholeheartedly telling the truth in his recent Instagram statement," writes Lisa. "And I feel empathy for him that he felt he had no other option other than to tell the truth - however brutal."

Agree with Lisa? Join her in the comments to have your say.

Back in January last year, Best Quality Designer Handbag 's Deputy Online Editor, Sharnaz Shahid, attended the launch of David Beckham's BOSS ONE Bodywear campaign in London - and all of the family, bar Brooklyn and Nicola, were out in full force. 

The family lit up the dance floor all night, including dancing queen Victoria, while Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie looked super love-up while they spun around the dance floor.

Alana Hadid, who is Nicola Peltz's ex-boyfriend's sister, has weighed in on the Beckham drama. 

Alana, 40, is the sister of models Gigi and Bella, as well as internet personality Marielle and model Anwar - who Nicola dated from 2016 to 2018.

Alana responded to a comment made by photographer Eli Rezkallah on social media, who wrote: "Ending an eight paragraph rant about his family's dirty laundry with 'all we want is privacy' is all I need to know," 

In response, Alana penned: "Right and that girl doesn't want privacy she's been trying to be famous for a decade."

Brooklyn's photography book, What I See, is on sale for almost £300.

The 2017 release, which was mocked on social media when it first hit the shelves, features photographs taken by the then-18-year-old, offering glimpses into his home life. One photo which received attention online was a dimly-lit shot of an elephant. 

Copies of the book, which was originally sold for £17, are now being listed for on eBay for big sums of money. One seller listed the item for £297.63.

Singer Tallia Storm, who is Brooklyn's ex-girlfriend, has shared her thoughts on the Beckham drama. The 27-year-old, who dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers, said she was "100% Team Brooklyn". 

Speaking to The Mirror about Brooklyn's statement, she said: "My first thought was, good for him. People have all heard a million stories over the years, and I just think, God bless Brooklyn for just coming out and sticking up for himself

"I think he’s just had enough. I am 100% Team Brooklyn. I think what that boy has gone through over all these years, in that Beckham ‘web’, as I call it, is a lot. It’s a lot on any person. So, good on him, saying, ‘enough is enough’. This is him taking back his power."

Did you know that back in May last year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reporteddly welcomed Brookyln and his wife Nicola to their home in Montecito, California?

At the time, reports of a rift in the Beckham family were rife. However, according to PEOPLE, the timing of the dinner was pure coincidence, and the couple weren't directly invited by Harry and Meghan.

When Brooklyn shared his bombshell statement on Monday, fans of the family couldn't help but wonder – what happened in the Beckham household when it dropped?

We might have some insight, as it appears that Victoria is currently looking for a new press assistant and a new social media intern for her eponymous fashion label, according to the Daily Mail. It is also understood that there are other jobs being advertised at the brand, including for creative production, retail and finance.

Kate Beckinsale is, like Brooklyn Beckham, the child of two celebrities, Richard Beckinsale and Judy Loe, so it comes as no surprise that she has also weighed in on the current conflict between the 26-year-old and his parents. See her full post here.

A photographer who worked alongside Brooklyn Beckham back in 2018, long before he event met Nicola, spoke to HELLO! about how his demeanour has changed since the rift from his family begun, and how "timid" he was before meeting his now wife. Read the full story here.

Marc Anthony, a close friend of the Beckham family, hit headlines again this week, following the claims that he allegedly helped Victoria Beckham to "hijack" her eldest son's first dance at his wedding to Nicola Peltz.

When the bride was meant to take to the stage to join Brooklyn for their first dance, he reportedly announced: "Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room — Victoria Beckham."

However, he has remained silent on social media since then, until now. Read the full story here.

One thing that's become abundantly clear throughout this family conflict is that Brooklyn appeared to be very uncomfortable with his very public childhood.

HELLO! spoke to a psychologist to break down what it's really like to grow up in the spotlight as a 'nepo baby', especially when your parents are two of the nation's most famous couples. Read all about it here.

Over the years, Brooklyn Beckham has ventured down many career paths: very briefly, football, photography, entrepreneurship, and much more. 

We broke down his various business ventures in chronological order, charting his journey to the businessman he is today. Read all about it here.

There's been a lot of surprises for the Beckham family in the past few days, but a revival of Victoria's long-dormant music career is certainly the biggest one.

For the first time in 15 years, the matriarch has found herself at the top of the UK and Ireland charts on iTunes, and for one of her solo songs. Find out more here.

Victoria Beckham "embarrassing" her son, Brooklyn, has been one of the most talked about parts of the 26-year-old's statement.

Writer and aspiring popstar Ariane Sherine weighed in on the debate as a Gen X mum with Gen Z children, like the former Spice Girl. Read her full opinion story here.

That's everything from this end of the Atlantic, but our LA correspondent Rebecca Lewis will keep you updated on all the latest news from the Beckham family. Good night!

Welcome to the Beckham Blog, and I'll be taking you through the rest of the day.

Here are all the key updates from the last few hours:

Brooklyn's ex, Tallia Storm, says she's 'Team Brooklyn'.

Speaking to The Mirror about Brooklyn's statement, she said: "My first thought was, good for him. People have all heard a million stories over the years, and I just think, God bless Brooklyn for just coming out and sticking up for himself."

Nicola's ex's sister, Alana Hadid, has also weighed in on the drama, alleging Nicola "doesn't want privacy, she's been trying to be famous for a decade".

A guest at the wedding has confirmed Brooklyn's allegations over the 'hijacked' wedding dance.

But my favorite story of the day? Victoria's debut single from 2001 "Not Such An Innocent Girl" is climbing the iTunes chart in the UK and Ireland.

In an exclusive interview with HELLO! in 2021, then-22-year-old Brooklyn spoke about following in his mother's footsteps as he dove into the world of fashion from a business perspective for the first time, having been crowned as Superdry's first sustainability ambassador.

At the time, his comments read as a typical mother-son dynamic although they take on a slightly stranger read through the darker lens of Brooklyn's recent statements.

Read the full story here.

One of the more interesting accusations from Brooklyn Beckham was the claim that his mom would often bring ex-girlfriends back into his life against his wishes to sabotage his relationship with Nicola.

While Brooklyn didn’t state who the ex-girlfriends were in his explosive statement, he has been linked to several high-profile women including Tallia Storm, who has said she is "Team Brooklyn," and Chloe Grace Moretz.

This is an interesting read from Lauren, diving into Brooklyn's past romances and their connection with VB.

I like this deep dive into Yogi's House, the non-profit Nicola founded and which Brooklyn claimed his parents refused to support.

That's all from us for this Beckham Blog.

Almost four days after Brooklyn dropped the bombshell, Victoria and David have yet to break their silence, but sides have been taken with A-list friends creating "teams" and op-eds left, right, and center.

So I'm going to close us out with these words from Victoria herself: "I think being kind is key now. There are so many horrible things going on in the world."
