David Beckham has responded to his son Brooklyn’s statement in which he claims his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, attempted to control his life and damaged his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz. David said in his first response that “kids are allowed to make mistakes.”

David, talking to cnbcSaid, “They make mistakes. Kids are allowed to make mistakes, that’s how they learn. So, I try to teach my kids that. But sometimes you have to let them make those mistakes, too.”

In an explosive social media post on January 20, the 26-year-old alleged that her mother suddenly pulled out of making Peltz’s wedding gown just ahead of the April 2022 ceremony. Brooklyn wrote that her mother “canceled making Nicola’s dress at the last hour despite being very excited to wear the dress she designed, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.”

Brooklyn also recalled a painful moment from her wedding day. She shared that singer Marc Anthony invited her on stage for her first dance with Nicola, but instead, her mother waited and danced with him. Brooklyn said the incident made her feel “uncomfortable and humiliated.” As a result, he and Nicola renewed their vows to replace memories with happiness in 2025.

It also shows Victoria Beckham looking elsewhere while posing with her son and daughter-in-law.
