June 1998, Saint-Etienne. David Beckham will sit, ashamed, on the sidelines. A red card against him has just been brandished by the referee, punishing his kick to Diego Simeone in the round of 16 of the World Cup. Through his silly gesture, he condemned his country in front of Argentina and became, at only 23 years old, the laughingstock of his compatriots for a few weeks.
After the competition, he found comfort in the arms of Victoria, his beloved since their meeting a year earlier, during a football match between his Manchester United club to that of Chelsea. It was at this time very precise that their first child would have been designed. The legend says that her first name, Brooklyn, was chosen in memory of the famous New York district, theater of their passion. On March 4, 1999, in London, the two stars became parents, thus laying the first stone of their empire.
Regularly in one of the Anglo-Saxon tabloids, the small family will grow three years later with the arrival of Romeo, on September 1, 2002. The two little boys in Bouilles d’Anges quickly became the darling of the British, almost shadowing the royal family. Two years later, a third boy was added to the siblings, Cruz. Delighted, no doubt, Victoria did not hide her joy when in 2011 was born their last child: a little girl named Harper.
A flight to flee
From red carpets at the forefront of Fashion Week, stadium stages with Netflix episodes of which they inspired a documentary, the Beckham family has become an unshakable and strong clan. For more than a decade, David and Victoria worked to open doors, shake hands and ensure the future of their darling children. Until April 9, 2022 where the first shock made the ship tremble.
On the sand of Palm Beach, 7,000 kilometers from London, the couple saw their first son marry Nicola Peltz, the daughter of the billionaire Nelson Peltz. This union would have been the genesis of a long and slow family crisis. Brooklyn so far close to her parents, will leave her country to join her beautiful and the warmth of Los Angeles. Over the months, several clues will be gleaned by people magazines, far from being fooled on what seems to be traded in the shadows.
Absent to the fifty years of his father, to the fourteen of his sister, going so far as to deprive his clan of his renewal of wishes in the county of Westchester, Brooklyn has definitively cut the bridges. Since this last episode of particularly disturbing remarriage, a question remains: what happened to the Beckham?
