Victoria Beckham's new Netflix documentary has landed – though fans may have noticed that son Brooklyn is notably absent from the three-part show. Here's why that may be the case.
The series, which is available from today (9 October), "offers an intimate look at her multifaceted life and career", and focuses on Victoria's rise to fame in the Spice Girls, her relationship with David, and her hugely successful pivot to the world of fashion.
Victoria Beckham follows the star as she prepares her Spring/Summer collection at Paris Fashion Week, examining the "challenges and triumphs that have defined her", with the notable surprises in the series including the financial troubles that her brand faced and worries that she may lose it.
Son Brooklyn does make a very brief appearance in the documentary at a Paris Fashion Week 2024 event, as well as in old footage from when he was younger, while Victoria mentions the morning sickness she experienced while pregnant with him.
However, his overall absence relative to larger appearances from siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper in the series will add fuel to speculation over an ongoing feud.
While nothing has been confirmed, there have been rumours of a rift between Brooklyn and the rest of his family for a number of months now, beginning in April as sources claimed to TMZ that there was tension between him and brother Romeo over the latter dating Kim Turnbull. Model Kim was previously linked to Brooklyn – who is now married to Nicola Peltz – though it was reported in June that Romeo and Kim had since split.
What to Read Next
Further speculation over tensions mounted after Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from dad David's 50th birthday celebrations in May and Brooklyn didn't post about his dad's milestone, while the couple also weren't in attendance at Victoria's Paris Fashion Week show in June.
Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows in August, with his parents and siblings notably absent from the event. Sources told The Mirror that Brooklyn paid tribute to Peltz's parents in his speech, though didn't mention his own.
Brooklyn hasn't featured in any recent posts from his mum, which have included her other children, and he also no longer follows brothers Romeo and Cruz on Instagram (though does still follow his parents). He also wasn't at Victoria Beckham's premiere this week, though did attend the premiere of David's own Netflix documentary in 2023.
For his part, Brooklyn addressed rumours around his private life and family in an interview with the Daily Mail last month.
"There's always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife," he responded. "Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we're happy."
Admitting he "never" worries about what's being said, he added: "Everyone is always going to say rubbish. I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It's good fun."
Victoria and David for their part haven't addressed the apparent feud.
