David Beckham is breaking his silence after his son, Brooklyn Beckham, unleashed a series of Instagram Stories earlier this week that accused his parents of “endlessly trying to ruin” his relationship with his wife, among other things.

in the publicationsBrooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of the former soccer legend and his wife Victoria Beckham, also said his parents were forcibly trying to control “the narratives in the press about our family.”

Appearing Tuesday in “Squawk Box” David Beckham, now co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the MLS, spoke about how “dangerous” social media can be in the wake of his son’s posts.

“I’ve always talked about social media and the power of social media, for better and for worse,” he said. “We’ve talked about what’s bad, what kids can access these days and how it can be dangerous. But what I’ve found personally, especially with my kids as well, is that I use it for the right reasons.”

Telling the show’s panel of presenters that she had used her social media platform to support UNICEF, she continued: “It’s been the most important tool to make people aware of what’s happening around the world for children, and I’ve tried to do the same.”

David Beckham shares four children with Victoria: Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.

Brooklyn Beckham, Cruz Beckham, Harper Beckham and David Beckham are seen on March 1, 2024 in Paris, France.

“They make mistakes. Kids are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn. So that’s what I try to teach my kids,” he added. “Sometimes you have to let them make those mistakes.”

This all follows months of fan speculation about a family feud between the Beckhams.

“I have remained silent for years and have done everything I can to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me no choice but to speak up for myself and tell the truth about just some of the lies that have been printed,” Brooklyn Beckham wrote in a series of posts on Instagram. “I don’t want to reconcile with my family. They don’t control me, I’m defending myself for the first time in my life.”

Brooklyn Beckham also alleged in the posts that his family has unleashed “endless attacks” on him and “consistently disrespected” his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. He also accused his mother of “hijacking” his first dance with Nicola during their 2022 wedding ceremony.

Brooklyn Beckham’s post also came after she reportedly skipped his father’s multiple 50th birthday celebrations and lost the premiere of his mother’s Netflix documentary.
