Brooklyn Beckham’s ex reveals what life was really like inside the ‘feuding’ family
Brooklyn Beckham’s ex-girlfriend Lexi Wood has spoken highly of the Beckham clan following weeks of speculation the famous family are going through an internal feud.
Lexi, who dated eldest Beckham son Brooklyn when she was 20, has opened up about what the atmosphere in the famous household was like.
Her observations come as it is rumoured Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are in a spat with the rest of the Beckham family after he was notably absent fromhis dad David’s big 50th birthday celebrations at the weekend.
Not only did he miss the party, but he wasn’t on David’s ‘boys’ fishing trip with Cruz and Romeo – something the former footballer acknowledged on social media, tagging Brooklyn in pictures from their trip and saying: ‘You were missed.’
Lexi had nothing but positive things to report about the Beckham’s family dynamics, spear-headed by Manchester United star David, 50, and former Spice Girl Victoria, 51.
‘Those families are great,’ she said talking on The Viall Files, referring to the Beckhams and her other ‘nepo baby’ ex Presley Gerber’s famous parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.
‘I have never been on dating apps. I genuinely just meet people through friends,’ she said, explaining that she and Brooklyn met like this.
Talking about the families, she explained: ‘It’s so funny because those are the types of families that I’m used to.’
Lexi continued: ‘Like, families that are in the industry, that give each other advice, work with each other where they can, like that are so close, travel together, live together, they do so much together.
‘That mindset is your family has your back period. I do feel like those families are great.’
When quizzed about whether it was weird Brooklyn’s dad was one of the world’s ‘sexiest men’, she laughed and replied: ‘He was just always Brooklyn’s dad. I feel like immediately I didn’t think anything of it. Then he was just his dad.’
Asked who was more intimidating, Victoria or David, Lexi said, ‘They were just both lovely.’
The model also explained that because they were young during their relationship, the pair largely spent their time alone and not in the wider family – apart from when they ‘hung out with’ Brooklyn’s younger brother Romeo, 22.
Over the past few weeks it’s been suggested that Kim Turnball, Romeo’s new girlfriend, dated Brooklyn before she got into a relationship with Romeo, which has caused a rift between the brothers – however, Cruz has rubbished this claim.
Speaking to Metro, a source explained that Victoria is desperately hoping that Brooklyn will ‘come around’ as she has found the fallout – whatever it may be over – ‘devastating’
‘Victoria hates to think about her family being so divided, especially with it involving one of her children. Brooklyn’s absence at David’s 50th birthday party was noticeable and she desperately wished he would have been there,’ said the source.
‘She’s hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are. They’ve always been a close-knit family and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.’
A source also told Metro that Brooklyn is keen to patch things up with his father and was sad not to attend the party, which was reportedly shut down by Notting Hill locals as it carried on into the early hours of Saturday night.
‘Brooklyn feels disappointed in himself for not attending David’s 50th birthday party. David was truly in his element surrounded by all of his family and closest friends, it was a great time all around.
‘He wants things to go back to how they were, but it feels as if the divide has separated the family deeply. Nicola isn’t pushing him to repair things either. He’s married now and his wife will continue to be his biggest focus,’ they said.
