Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are reportedly standing firmly by Brooklyn’s decision to publicly call out his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, and are said to feel relieved after finally speaking out.

According to a source quoted by The Sun, the couple are “glad they did it” and couldn’t be happier with the response they’ve received since Brooklyn aired his grievances earlier this week. The insider claimed the backlash Brooklyn feared never materialized, instead describing the reaction as supportive and validating.

“They feel like a massive weight has been lifted,” the source said, adding that the moment has been “therapeutic” after years of bottled-up frustration. The insider also alleged that the public response has only reinforced Brooklyn’s belief that he made the right decision by addressing the situation openly.

Brooklyn, 26, accused his parents of controlling behavior and interfering in his marriage to Peltz, stating that he no longer wants reconciliation. He also claimed his parents had shaped narratives about him in the press throughout his life, saying he was finally standing up for himself.

Since going public, Brooklyn and Peltz have appeared relaxed and united. The couple were recently spotted enjoying a beach walk in Malibu, showing no visible signs of stress as the family feud continues to make headlines.

Brooklyn has further alleged that his mother attempted to undermine parts of his 2022 wedding to Peltz, accusations that have added fuel to the ongoing dispute. David and Victoria Beckham have not publicly responded to the claims.

As the situation unfolds, sources suggest Brooklyn and Peltz remain confident in their choice to speak out, believing it was necessary for their own peace of mind, even if it permanently alters their relationship with the Beckham family.
