Victoria Beckham opened up about her biggest issue in her once close-knit family during a bombshell appearance on podcast Call Her Daddy.
The Spice Girl and husband David Beckham, both 50, are reportedly embroiled in a family feud with their son Brooklyn, 26, and his wealthy wife Nicola Peltz, 30, with the family not having spoken for months.
Rumours suggest that billionaire heiress Nicola is at the heart of the disagreement, amid claims she encouraged Brooklyn to distance himself from his parents. The pair even stage a huge no-expense vow renewal earlier this year which was a dagger to the heart to David and Victoria who were not on the guestlist.
After keeping a stoic silence, Victoria admitted she has to let her children forge their own paths as she touched on the fallout in a recent interview. During the podcast chat, Posh is also asked about David's historic affair with his PA Rebecca Loos.
When quizzed by Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper on how she's managed to step back and 'allow her children to make their own decisions,' Victoria reflected: "I mean, we're such a close family.
"You know, communication is key and we always let them know that anything they want to talk about, this is a safe forum. That's really important. But they've got to go on their on their journeys themselves. '.
When probed further on how she and David navigate the shifting dynamics within their family, she maintained: "Again, it's just about communicating. We've always been that way with the kids. And I'm excited for them, they're all very different. They all like to do different things."
It seems Brooklyn is very keen to do 'different things' at the moment. Victoria's candid chat comes as it's revealed that the aspiring photographer turned budding chef has no plans to end the feud with his parents and siblings any time soon.
A source has alleged that Brooklyn is "really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life" with Nicola, adding: "They've built their own world together and are very content in it. They want to let things settle naturally rather than trying to fix something that still feels tense."
The insider described the "huge rift" within the Beckham clan as continuing and alleged the relationships remain broken. It remains uncertain whether Brooklyn has kept in touch with his younger sister, Harper Seven. "The relationships are all still strained," the source confirmed to US Weekly in what is the latest update on the Beckham family feud.
Rumours about friction between Brooklyn and his family grew earlier this year after he and Nicola missed David's 50th birthday celebration in May. The no-show sparked reports that the couple were not speaking to his parents.
And around the same time, there were whispers of a bust-up between Brooklyn and his brother Romeo over Romeo's ex-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. Some reports suggested that Brooklyn briefly dated Kim before meeting Nicola in 2019.
However, Kim firmly denied this in June. Posting on Instagram, she clarified that her relationship with Brooklyn was nothing more than "a school friendship at age 16" and they "have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point."
Adding fuel to the fire, David and Victoria were conspicuously absent from Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal ceremony in August.
Brooklyn briefly touched on the ongoing media speculation during a September interview with the Daily Mail, stating that despite the negative press, he and Nicola remain focused on their own lives. "Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we're happy," he declared.
Despite the apparent rift, Victoria recently gave a nod to Brooklyn during a speech at the London premiere of her new Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham, which also features a brief appearance from the couple.
