Brooklyn Beckham Alana Hadid Nicola Peltz Drama 2026: The War of Brands and Blood

They’re shaking hands in public, but the gloves are off behind the scenes. The long-simmering tension within the Beckham family has finally boiled over. On January 19, 2026, Brooklyn Beckham posted a scathing 6-slide statement on Instagram, accusing his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of manipulation and attempting to sabotage his marriage to Nicola Peltz Beckham.

The 6-Slide Bombshell: Accusations Against 'Brand Beckham'

Brooklyn's statement detailed incidents dating back to his April 2022 wedding. He alleged that on the night before the ceremony, his parents told him Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." The eldest Beckham child claimed he's tired of being controlled and accused his parents of prioritizing "Brand Beckham" and public endorsements above their own children's happiness. "I do not want to reconcile with my family," he wrote, marking a definitive rift in the global celebrity dynasty.

Alana Hadid Weighs In: A "Fame-Hungry" Narrative

The drama took an unexpected turn when Alana Hadid, the eldest sister of Gigi and Bella Hadid, entered the fray. Commenting on a gossip post on January 20, Alana slammed Nicola’s request for privacy after airing the family's "dirty laundry." She claimed that Nicola hasn't wanted privacy and has been "trying to be famous for a decade."

This jab has deep roots. Alana’s brother, Anwar Hadid, dated Nicola in 2017. During that time, reports suggested Anwar became increasingly distant from the Hadid family, a pattern social media sleuths say is now repeating with Brooklyn. Netizens have been quick to draw parallels, labeling the couple "Harry & Meghan 2.0" and criticizing Brooklyn for keeping the Beckham name and wealth while publicly disowning the source of both.

David Beckham’s Subtle Retort

While Victoria has remained silent, David Beckham appeared on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' on January 20. Though he didn't mention Brooklyn by name, he spoke about parenting and forgiveness. "Children are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn," he noted. Many interpreted this as a subtle attempt to de-escalate the situation by framing Brooklyn's outburst as a youthful lapse in judgment rather than a valid grievances.
