The Beckhams have been embroiled in an ugly fallout with Brooklyn, 27, and his wife Nicola, 31, for months, with things coming to a head in January when Brooklyn posted an explosive statement about the row.
Yet David wasn’t in the mood to discuss the tension this week, as evident when questioned what toll the media coverage on the fallout had on him.
He replied: ‘To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter. That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.’
Instead talk turned to his future goals, with David stating: ‘Every day there’s a mountain to climb. I’ve got a life where I’m very busy with what I do. I’ve got four grown kids, the businesses, the club in Miami, but I always want to achieve more.’
David also opened up about the key to his 26-year marriage with Victoria and creating their ‘four incredible kids’.
David told Variety: ‘We’ve got four incredible kids. We’ve got businesses that we work hard on. But we always make time for each other, and we always have. I want Victoria to be the best version of herself, and vice versa.
‘And as busy as we are, our family always comes first. That’s our priority, and that’s what makes it work when you’ve been together for so long. Our priority will always be our family.’

Brooklyn was last pictured with Harper and the Beckham’s at Christmas 2024. A year later, he released a scathing statement denouncing his parents, saying the family are ‘performative’
Despite Brooklyn being a no show, Sir David was supported at his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony by wife Victoria, sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper
He announced his disassociation from his famous family – declaring he was no longer part of ‘Brand Beckham’ and insisting his parents and their other children are ‘performative’.
David and Victoria haven’t spoken to Brooklyn since May 2025, when he and Nicola snubbed the former footballer’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Brooklyn and Nicola’s lawyers wrote to the Beckhams’ legal team demanding that they only converse through them.
Shortly before Christmas 2025, Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram, and in January, he posted the brutal statement on his Instagram Story.
He claimed David and Victoria controlled him for most of his life, tried to split him and Nicola up and left him embarrassed when his mother danced ‘inappropriately’ with him during his first dance at his wedding.
Speaking about all four of her children earlier in the interview, Victoria added that ‘being a parent of young adult children and adult children, gosh, I mean, it’s very different from having little children’.
‘I think that we’re trying to do the best we can,’ she said, adding that the negative press in the past three months has not affected her fashion and beauty business.
‘I think that ultimately people are buying my product because the product is really good. I don’t think they’re buying my eyeliner just because it’s me,’ Victoria added.
