Brooklyn Beckham has publicly addressed his relationship with his parents, Sir David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, in a statement posted on social media this week. The 26-year-old said he felt compelled to speak out after years of speculation and media coverage about his personal life. He described ongoing tensions and said he had created distance from his family in order to gain clarity about his own life and marriage.

In the statement, Brooklyn said he had previously tried to keep private matters out of the public eye but felt pushed to respond after repeated media commentary about him and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. He denied rumours that Nicola controlled him and said he himself had at times felt controlled by his parents.

Brooklyn outlined specific grievances he said contributed to the strain in his family relationships. These included his mother withdrawing from designing Nicola’s wedding dress at the last minute, what he described as pressure to sign away rights to his name before the 2022 wedding, and comments made about Nicola’s place in the family on the night before their ceremony. He also said that members of his family made remarks during his wedding that he found inappropriate.

According to Brooklyn, these incidents, among others, led to a deterioration in his relationship with his parents and siblings. He said that he has since been estranged from them and that some family members have blocked him on social media.

Brooklyn added that stepping back from these dynamics has improved his well-being and allowed him and Nicola to focus on building a private life together, separate from media scrutiny.

The background of this public dispute stretches back several years, with reports of tension emerging around Brooklyn and Nicola’s relationship, wedding arrangements, and other personal matters. Until now, Brooklyn had not publicly confirmed or detailed these disagreements.

Neither David nor Victoria Beckham has issued a formal response to Brooklyn’s statement. In late 2025, David shared photographs of his children with a message of love but did not directly address the estrangement with his eldest son.

Brooklyn’s account offers one of the clearest explanations yet from a member of the Beckham family regarding their internal difficulties and marks a rare departure from the discretion the family has traditionally maintained in public.

A$AP Rocky marked the arrival of Don’t Be Dumb with an intimate release gathering in New York, the focus stayed where it belonged: the music at the center of the night. Yet, as expected, Rihanna’s presence subtly expanded the conversation. Not by pulling attention away from the night, but by showing how style can function as a form of simple support.

Rocky’s return to a full-length project after years of anticipation was significant. In that setting, Rihanna’s appearance felt carefully thought through offering a reminder that showing up for your partner’s work moment requires awareness as much as personal expression.

She chose a softly cut, floor-length slip dress in a warm, burnished tone, layered with a cropped bomber that added structure to the soft shape. The styling struck a deliberate balance: confident, assured, and unmistakably hers, while respecting the professional tone of the event. The lace detail, simple accessories, and layered pieces made the outfit feel distinctly hers.

What made the moment memorable was not celebrity visibility, but clarity of intent. Rihanna didn’t dress to dominate the room or redirect attention. She dressed as a partner fully aware of the significance of the night present, supportive, and attuned to the tone of the evening.

That, more than the clothes themselves, was the takeaway from the night.

For years, speculation about Kendall Jenner’s features has dominated headlines. Online commentators have closely examined everything from her nose to her jawline. Now, the supermodel is finally setting the record straight.

On Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast, Kendall confirmed that she has never had facial plastic surgery. She explained that changes in her appearance are the result of natural growth and lifestyle factors, not surgical intervention.

“I’ve never gone under the knife,” Kendall said.

“People assume my features have changed, but it’s just life, growth, and a little skincare.”

While firmly denying surgery, she did acknowledge trying very minor cosmetic treatments. She revealed she had only two rounds of baby Botox in her forehead, which she admitted she didn’t particularly enjoy, along with PRP treatments and microneedling designed to rejuvenate her skin rather than alter her features. Kendall also spoke about the toll of online speculation.

“It’s frustrating when people treat my face like a puzzle to solve,”

she said, calling the constant scrutiny overwhelming at times.
Closing the conversation, she left no room for doubt:

“I’m here to tell you the truth… I’ve never had any plastic surgery on my face. Nothing.”

With her clear denial, Kendall puts an end to years of rumors, letting her own words speak for themselves.
