Beckham Family’s Reported Rift with Sussexes
Interestingly, Beckham’s birthday tribute arrives amid reports of shifting dynamics within his family and the Sussexes. Sources claim that Beckham’s son, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, 30, have developed a growing friendship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
This alleged closeness has reportedly left David and his wife, Victoria Beckham, feeling “blindsided,” as their relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appears to be strengthening.
