"CHILDREN MAKE MISTAKES, THEY GROW BY LEARNING"
In his statement, David Beckham said, "Children make mistakes. They should be allowed to make mistakes. This is how they learn..." His words were interpreted as a conciliatory message regarding his relationship with his son.
HOW DID THE PROBLEMS START?
Brooklyn Beckham has recently been in the news due to claims of disagreements with his family regarding both his personal life and career choices. The distance between Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz and the Beckham family has been one of the frequently discussed topics in the public eye. Sources close to the family stated that there are occasional disagreements in the father-son relationship, but the bonds have not completely broken.
However, recently Brooklyn made a statement saying, "No matter how understanding my wife tries to be, she has constantly been disrespected by my family. My mother has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in a way that would consciously disturb us. My family sees the promotion of their own brands and brand deals above everything else. The rumors that my wife controls me are completely unfounded." With this statement, he severed all ties with his family. Beckham noted that his family has been disrespectful and distant towards his wife Nicola Peltz for years, stating that the wedding process and events during special days were the breaking points.
Brooklyn's frequent changes in his career path and the decisions he made have also brought about claims of tension within the family. David Beckham's recent statement drew attention as the first direct evaluation regarding this process.
