BAD Breaking News: Brooklyn Beckham drop father’s surname, refuse family reunion until Victoria apologizes to Nicola Peltz

Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly considering dropping his famous surname and refusing a family reunion unless Victoria Beckham publicly apologises to his wife, Nicola Peltz. The alleged standoff highlights a deepening rift that sources say could make the estrangement permanent.

It appears the Beckham family rift is far from resolved. Amid reports of a strained relationship with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn Beckham is said to be considering dropping his famous surname altogether. According to sources, he has set one clear condition: if his parents want him to keep the Beckham name, Victoria must apologise to his wife, Nicola Peltz.

The possible name change would be one of the most drastic moves yet in a fallout that has reportedly been simmering for nearly a year. If true, it could permanently crack the image of the picture-perfect family the Beckhams have carefully maintained for decades.

Brooklyn Beckham ‘to drop surname’ amid ongoing family rift, says report
According to Heatworld, Brooklyn is considering dropping his famous surname if his mother, Victoria Beckham, continues to avoid his wife, Nicola Peltz. The publication reports that the 26-year-old wants Victoria to issue a public apology to Nicola, and if that does not happen, he is prepared to take a drastic step and start using his wife’s surname instead.

The source also said that Brooklyn has not spoken to his parents in nearly a year and, despite attempts to mend the relationship, he has no plans to meet them without a public apology directed at Nicola. The insider added that Brooklyn is already thinking ahead to 2026 as a fresh start, which would include a full personal rebrand. According to the source, he and Nicola have discussed dropping the Beckham name altogether and being known publicly as the Peltzes.

What losing the Beckham surname could mean
The source went on to say that dropping the Beckham name would help Brooklyn and Nicola put the alleged feud behind them, as their double barreled surname has become closely tied to the family tension.

According to the insider, the couple no longer feels any need to hold on to the Beckham name and would prefer any future children to carry the Peltz surname. The source added that such a move would be deeply hurtful for David and Victoria, who have spent nearly three decades building the Beckham brand. If Brooklyn were to remove the family name, the insider claimed, it would be a step with no turning back and could make the current estrangement permanent.

David Beckham allegedly heartbroken by Brooklyn’s decision
Meanwhile, the source claimed that Brooklyn’s decision to cut contact with his family and potentially stop using the Beckham surname has not gone down well with his father, David Beckham. According to the insider, David is acutely aware that the move would be especially painful for Victoria.

The source added that Victoria is still struggling to come to terms with the estrangement, saying she finds it hard to believe that she is no longer in touch with her son. The insider alleged that the situation continues to weigh heavily on her, leaving her deeply upset whenever she thinks about it, with little she feels she can do to mend the rift.

Why are Nicola and Victoria allegedly feuding?
The reported feud within the Beckham family is widely believed to stem from long-standing tension between Nicola Peltz and Victoria Beckham, which first surfaced around Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish 2022 wedding. Rumours at the time suggested friction over wedding planning, including claims that Nicola chose not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed gown, sparking speculation of hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

Since then, insiders have alleged ongoing communication breakdowns, perceived slights, and unresolved issues that have gradually widened the gap, with Brooklyn firmly siding with his wife. While neither side has publicly confirmed the details, the situation is said to have created an emotional divide that has yet to be repaired.
