Beckham family feud erupts as Brooklyn rules out reconciliation

LONDON, UK – Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, the oldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, accused his “controlling” parents of trying to ruin his marriage and said he did not want to reconcile with them, laying bare his family feud for the first time in public.

Brooklyn, 26, said his parents had placed “countless lies” in the media to preserve the facade of a perfect family when in fact the family’s “Brand Beckham” business always came first.

David Beckham, attending the Davos meeting of global elites on Tuesday, January 20, declined to comment to reporters about Brooklyn’s allegations.

Reports of tension between Brooklyn and his parents started soon after he wedded actor Nicola Peltz, the daughter of US billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, in 2022.

Brooklyn said for years he had made “every effort” to keep the matter private, but he now had no choice but to “tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been published.”

He said his parents had been “trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding” and had pressured him to sign away the rights to his name, a step he had refused.

Never more ‘uncomfortable or humiliated’

In one of the most damaging accusations, he said his mother, former “Spice Girl” and fashion designer Victoria, had hijacked his first dance with his wife at his wedding.

“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone,” he said on Instagram. “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”

Brooklyn’s post tossed a grenade into “Brand Beckham,” the multi-million-pound family business that traces its origin back to his soccer star father making his debut for Manchester United at the age of 17 in 1992.

David Beckham cemented his position in the British establishment last year when he was awarded a knighthood at the age of 50 for his contribution to sport and charitable causes.

He won six league titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League with the club, before playing for Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. He also captained England, winning 115 caps.

His 1999 marriage to Victoria Adams, “Posh Spice” in the Spice Girls, united football with pop music to create “Posh and Becks”, a celebrity couple rivaled only by Britain’s royals in tabloid appeal.

Brooklyn not looking to mend fences

The couple, who have four — Brooklyn’s younger brothers Romeo and Cruz and sister Harper Seven — have expanded their brand to encompass sport, fashion, endorsements and media.

Speaking to CNBC at Davos in a general discussion about the risks of social media, David Beckham said he had tried to educate his children about the online world.

“Children are allowed to make mistakes, that’s how they learn. So that’s what I try to teach my kids,” he said. “But you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”

The rift between Brooklyn and his family echoes a split between Britain’s Prince Harry and the Royal family, with similar accusations of dysfunctional relationships and anonymous briefings to the press.

Harry said last year he would “love reconciliation” with his family. Brooklyn, however, made clear he was not looking to mend any fences.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he said in his Instagram post.

He said the anxiety he had suffered all his life had disappeared since stepping away from his family. “I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief,” he said. – Rappler.com

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
