Brooklyn Beckham’s message of support to his wife Nicola Peltz was reportedly like a “dagger to the heart” for his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
The budding chef, 26, and his actress partner, 30, live in Los Angeles and are thought to have been feuding with his parents, who are based in the UK, for the past few months.
Amid the escalating rumours of tension, Brooklyn appeared to firmly declare which side he was on by sharing a tribute to Peltz on Instagram.
He posted a clip of them on a motorcycle ride on Sunday and wrote in the caption: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.”
The Beckhams reportedly felt their son’s post seemed “very pointed”, with a source telling The Sun: “It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated.”
“It's very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn't the Brooklyn his family knows and loves.”
The insider added: “This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.”
The Standard has contacted representatives for Victoria and David for comment.
Nicola, who is the daughter of Miami-based billionaires Nelson and Claudia Peltz, re-shared Brooklyn’s video on her own Instagram page and commented, “I've always got you baby,” alongside a burning love heart emoji.
The Beckhams have become embroiled in feud speculation in recent weeks, with fans noticing that Brooklyn, and Nicola have snubbed major milestones on social media and avoided going to family events.
They failed to attend Victoria’s 51st birthday last month and skipped David’s lavish 50th birthday party earlier this month, which was attended by Brooklyn’s siblings Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
Tensions reportedly flared after Brooklyn and Romeo stopped speaking following Romeo's relationship with Kim Turnbull - who previously dated Brooklyn's friend Rocco Ritchie.
Brooklyn is said to be suspicious of Kim’s reasons for dating Romeo, with TMZ claiming Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz now refuse to attend any family event where Kim is present.
David is thought to be worried the feud with Brooklyn could mirror his own estrangement from his father Ted in 2005.
The pair were not on speaking terms until Ted, 77, suffered a near-death experience in 2007 and they reconciled.
