Tensions between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents David and Victoria remain high
A source recently told PEOPLE that David and Victoria have been asking to meet with their son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz amid an ongoing fracture in their relationship
But another insider close to the situation tells PEOPLE that it's "untrue" the Beckhams have "made efforts to mend things" with their son and his wife
The family feud continues.
On Jan. 9, a source told PEOPLE that David and Victoria Beckham had made attempts to mend fences with their oldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, 31, after the four of them had a falling out following Brooklyn and Nicola's 2022 wedding.
“David and Victoria have repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward," the source said, noting that the couple have also always been invited to Beckham family events, like David Beckham receiving a knighthood in October.
"Of course invited Brooklyn and Nicola [to his knighting and after-gathering]. They have always been invited to all family occasions or events, whether private or public," the source added.
However, an insider close to Nicola is refuting that account.
"The claim that Brooklyn and Nicola have been invited to all events and that David and Victoria have made honest efforts to mend things is untrue," the insider says. "Neither parents have reached out to Nicola in almost a year."
Reps for David and Victoria did not immediately respond to request for comment. Reps for Brooklyn and Nicola also did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

On Jan. 8, the British publication The Sun reported that Brooklyn allegedly sent his parents a legal notice, warning them that they can only contact him through lawyers, while also insisting that they not "tag" him on social media.
The outlet also claimed that a breach of the "desist" letter (an Instagram "like" from Victoria) was why Brooklyn blocked David, 50, and Victoria, 51, online in the first place. According to The Daily Mail, the decision to block his parents was made by Brooklyn last summer.

Currently, Brooklyn, Nicola, Victoria and David do not follow each other on Instagram, and Brooklyn and Nicola also do not follow Brooklyn's brothers Romeo and Cruz, the latter of whom revealed on his Instagram Stories, "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as was I."
The ongoing drama between the couples has been brewing steadily over the past few years. Last May, a source told PEOPLE that the feud initially stemmed from wedding dress drama, with Victoria allegedly offering to make Nicola's gown but then never delivering.

"Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding," the source said at the time, noting that Nicola had worn Victoria's designs to many events.
Now, nearly four years later, there seems to be no sign of healing.
On New Year's Eve, David shared an Instagram post of his favorite moments of 2025, which featured Romeo, Cruz and Harper, but no Brooklyn. However, David also followed up the grid post with Instagram Stories posts that included his eldest son.
"I love you all so much," David wrote over a black and white image of himself with a young Brooklyn.
And on Jan. 9, an insider told PEOPLE, "David loves his kids," adding, "they are his everything."
Last May, a source reiterated to PEOPLE that David and Victoria were unhappy with the rift with the son.
"The relationship is definitely not beyond repair," an insider told PEOPLE in early May. "They love and are always there for [Brooklyn]. They’re just hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life."
