Throughout his childhood Brooklyn Beckham was his mother’s ‘rock’ and became ‘the man of the house’ while David and Victoria were experiencing marriage problems.

In a new Daily Mail Entertainment YouTube show, Beckham Breakdown: Inside the Family Feud, the Mail’s Katie Hind reveals how Victoria ‘really relied’ on Brooklyn, 26, before he met his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30.

Speaking on the documentary, Hind said: ‘They were absolutely inseparable and I remember she took him to the Glamour Awards in 2013 as her date.

‘She got up on stage and paid tribute to him and said he was the most handsome man in the room.

‘She really relied on Brooklyn and he was the man of the house and he very much lived up to that while David was away and I think at the time they were having difficulties in their marriage.

‘They had moved back to London, David was away and Brooklyn was a real rock for her.’

The couple have spoken openly of their marital challenges, including in David's Netflix documentary, Beckham but came through it all to remain strong today.

But then in 2019, Brooklyn and Nicola met at Leonardo Di Caprio’s Halloween party and later married in 2022, then last month the Mail revealed how there has been a longstanding feud culminating in Brooklyn and his wife missing David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

The feud had been kept secret by the Beckhams for months and in what was his last interview before the bitter family rift surfaced, Brooklyn shared the advice with the Mail that he gave Harper about growing up in the spotlight.

Speaking ahead of his race for Formula E in March, Brooklyn, 26, told the Mail: ‘I just tell her, find that one thing that you love and just put your head down, don’t listen to anyone.’

It comes as Brooklyn issued a clear message to his family that he was siding with Nicola, 30, who he calls the love of his life, by sharing a gushing Instagram post to his wife of three years.

The aspiring chef wrote: ‘I always choose you baby, you’re the most amazing person in the world, me and you forever baby.’

Hours after the post, Cruz, the Beckhams’ youngest son waded in on the row for the first time by writing an Instagram post in support of his parents, showing he does not side with Brooklyn.

The 20-year-old aspiring muscian penned: ‘I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives.’

David and Victoria have resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son after he failed to attend any of the football ace’s 50th birthday celebrations last month.

Despite flying to London, Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend the big family party at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restuarant, Core.

Earlier this week, there was further proof of the irreparable nature of the rift when Brooklyn and Nicola jetted to the capital from their home in Los Angeles on Monday for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler.

It took place less than two miles away from the Beckham family home in Holland Park, west London. Brooklyn didn’t even tell David and Victoria they were in the country - let alone meet with them.

Harper - who turns 14 in July - was exceptionally close with Brooklyn and Nicola, who often shared pictures of her on Instagram gushing over the teen and calling her ‘my younger sister’.

It will no doubt be heartbreaking for the Beckhams’ youngest child with speculation as to whether her eldest brother will attend her 14th birthday celebrations.
