LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brooklyn Beckham has earned a new name for himself amid the family drama.

He has been deemed as “the hostage” in marriage with Nicola Peltz after he posted a video of himself with his wife on Instagram recently, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The video showed the eldest child of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham riding a motorcycle with the 30-year-old model.

Though the online share came as something romantic, a tipster thinks otherwise. They told the publication that the 26-year-old is not someone who loves to be in front of the camera.

The insider said, “Brooklyn is now being referred to as ‘the hostage’. He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola and it is heartbreaking.”

Insider says social media post is so unlike Brooklyn Beckham

Further explaining, they shared, “Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside. He’s soppy and he’s a romantic but that video just isn’t him.”

“He hates all of that stuff so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it,” the source added.

However, a source close to the duo shared with Page Six, “It’s sad that someone would take a simple statement of love and appreciation for someone’s wife and try to mock and manipulate it into something that it isn’t."

They added, "It’s just the latest unnecessary and baseless personal attack and hopefully it will stop soon."

Nicola Peltz accused of using Harper Beckham

The issue in the famous family reportedly began at the time of Brooklyn and Peltz’s marriage in 2022.

It further ensued after Brooklyn’s younger brother Romeo began dating Kim Turnbull, who was once allegedly linked with the former.

The Beckham’s firstborn and Peltz even skipped David’s 50th birthday party.

The pair did not meet the family when they went to London from Los Angeles recently for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler.

Another source said, “Then there is Harper. It is absolutely heartbreaking that Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t bother to see her when they came to London last week.”

They mentioned, “Nicola used to be all over her like a rash, posing for pictures and putting them on TikTok or Instagram, saying that Harper was her little sister. Perhaps she was using her for her own image.”

“Whatever the reason, to cut a young girl out of this when she has had no part to play is cruel,” the source added.

Amid this, Brooklyn’s other brother Cruz has clarified his stand.

Taking to his Instagram Story just a few hours after his older brother’s post, he said, “I love my family.”

“I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives,” the 20-year-old musician asserted.
