Brooklyn Beckham has taken another dramatic step in his widening family fallout – this time unfollowing his childhood friends Holly and Jack Ramsay on social media, just days after their father Gordon publicly urged him to “remember where you came from.”
The 26-year-old cooking influencer has already distanced himself from parents David and Victoria Beckham, as well as brothers Romeo and Cruz and sister Harper. In January, he laid out his grievances in a lengthy six-page Instagram statement that sent shockwaves through the Beckham inner circle.
Now, the rift appears to have spread beyond his immediate family.
Brooklyn has not only unfollowed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay – a long-time family friend and Harper’s godfather – but has also removed Gordon’s eldest daughter Holly, 26, and her twin brother Jack from his following list. The move comes mere weeks after Holly married Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey, a wedding Brooklyn notably did not attend.
Interestingly, while Holly and Jack are no longer on his radar, Brooklyn still follows Gordon’s wife Tana, daughter Tilly and young son Oscar – a detail that has only fuelled speculation about the true depth of the fallout.
From Playdates to Silence
With just nine months separating them in age, Brooklyn, Holly and Jack were inseparable growing up. The Beckham and Ramsay families formed a close bond in the early 2000s after relocating to the United States, where David Beckham continued his football career and Gordon expanded his television empire.
Family holidays to ski resorts and tropical beaches often featured the children side by side, smiling for cameras and sharing playdates across continents.
A source revealed the emotional toll behind the scenes: David and Victoria see Gordon and Tana almost as family. The kids all grew up together. Brooklyn always loved his time with them all but his and Jack’s friendship isn’t really there any more which is a great shame.
The insider added that Gordon and Tana have been deeply upset by the situation. They are very, very fond of Brooklyn. They’ve known him since he was tiny. Brooklyn doesn’t appear to see many of his friends he hung out with before Nicola any more and that is very sad. These are people he goes way back with and Holly is one of them.
Gordon Speaks – And Brooklyn Reacts
The timing of the unfollows is significant.
In a recent interview, Gordon Ramsay made it clear that while his bond with Brooklyn remains, he believes the influencer may be swept up in emotion.
Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible, he said. But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.
He was equally firm in defending David and Victoria as parents, insisting he had seen first-hand how much they had done for their eldest son. David as a dad is just incredible. They’ve both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they’ve got Brooklyn out of the s***, he said.
And then came the line that may have stung the most: Remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop.
Shortly after, Gordon himself was unfollowed.
A Marriage at the Heart of the Storm?
Brooklyn is now based in the United States with his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz. In his January statement, he made explosive claims about his upbringing – including the allegation that Victoria hijacked his first wedding dance and danced very inappropriately on him in front of guests. Gordon, who attended the wedding, has dismissed that account.
Whether this latest social media cull signals self-protection or bridge-burning remains unclear.
But one thing is certain: what was once a friendship forged in childhood playdates and shared holidays has now become another visible casualty of one of showbiz’s most talked-about family feuds.
