‘Worst nightmare’: Victoria’s fears Beckham rift ‘beyond repair’

Victoria Beckham is reportedly having “sleepless night” over son Brooklyn’s estrangement from his family with insiders suggesting the situation could be irreparable.

Victoria Beckham has reportedly been having “sleepless nights” over her and husband David’s widening rift with son, Brooklyn, describing the situation as her “worst nightmare”.

Insiders have said the famous couple are said to have been left “heartbroken” by the growing feud with their eldest son, which has pitted 26-year-old Brooklyn and his American wife, heiress Nicola Peltz, on one side, and the rest of the family on the other.

Things blew up when Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend any of the festivities around David’s recent 50th birthday party with reports suggesting that Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull has been made the “scapegoat” in the feud.

Now, it has been claimed that Victoria and David are “near breaking point” over the ongoing feud amid fears the relationship is “beyond repair”.

“This is Victoria’s worst nightmare,” a source told The Sun. “The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.

“It’s been difficult with Brooklyn since he met Nicola, and there’s no denying that there was a family fallout over their wedding.

“But Victoria and David have worked hard to get things back on track, so this is a real blow.”

Victoria’s social media has been filled with photographs from various parties held to celebrate David’s 50th birthday last week, but none of her posts have mentioned the absent Brooklyn or Nicola.

The celebrations culminated with a glamorous party held at exclusive London restaurant Core last weekend.

The party was attended by A-list stars including Tom Cruise and David and Victoria’s other children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.

The ongoing rift seems to centre around Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, with sources saying Brooklyn and Nicola “have a problem” with her.

Brooklyn missed out on David’s early celebrations in Miami last month as well as parties in the Cotswolds, France and London this week.

Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn also declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a “boys” fishing trip to celebrate his 50th.

David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz.

Sources have suggested that Brooklyn’s decision was influenced by his wife.

According to UK reports, Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull is being made the “scapegoat” with Nicola “at the centre” of the rift.

Turnbull did date Madonna’s son, Rocco Ritchie, but rumours she also went out with Brooklyn are said to be untrue (although the two were definitely friends for a period).

Cruz personally shut down the gossip recently when he responded to an Instagram post showing a picture of Romeo and Kim together.

In a now-deleted message, one user commented: “It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool.”

Cruz replied: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

“This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola,” one insider told the Daily Mail.

“All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time.”

Family friends claim Brooklyn’s wife has a pattern of “starting an argument” before family events and then preventing her husband from attending.

Some believe that friends of Nicola have been behind the rumours about Kim being the cause of Brooklyn’s rift with his family, some of which went so far to claim that he had told them he refused to come to any event at which Kim was present.

“Brooklyn was close to Kim because she was dating Rocco and they all hung out in a tight-knit friendship group. But that was years ago. Brooklyn and Kim were close, but there was never any romance,” an insider said.

“It seems Nicola doesn’t like Brooklyn spending any time with the Beckhams full stop and is using his previous closeness to Kim and her getting in with the family as a reason to not be around them.

“She denies it, but Nicola has been controlling him since the wedding. The family – including the brothers – have had enough of it.

“This is the narrative that’s been put out to other news outlets, that Romeo is dating his brother’s ex-girlfriend – and that’s really weird, so that’s why they wouldn’t want to be around the family when she is there.

“But none of this is true. And it’s really upset Romeo and his parents because Kim is seemingly being used by Nicola as a reason to start the rift. Romeo is furious at the suggestion that he would bring an ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn into the family when there never was any romance.”
