Brooklyn Beckham’s intense fixation on wife Nicola Peltz is beginning to worry those closest to him – including, alarmingly, his own parents. Sources close to the Beckhams reveal that both Victoria and David have grown increasingly concerned over what they privately describe as Brooklyn’s “unhealthy obsession” with the billionaire heiress, amid mounting scrutiny from fans who have branded his behaviour “creepy” and “co-dependent”.
Friends say that what began as a whirlwind romance has morphed into a suffocating dependence, with Brooklyn allegedly centering his entire identity around Nicola to a degree that many consider troubling. “He’s always been a romantic, but this is something else,” one family friend confided. “It’s like he’s disappeared into her. Everything is about Nicola – every post, every quote, every appearance. He’s even started talking and dressing like her.”
The concern reached a fever pitch after fans spotted Brooklyn filming Nicola in a series of private moments, sharing clips that critics say feel “more stalkerish than sweet.” In one now-viral video, he’s seen whispering that he “watches her sleep sometimes because she’s too perfect to be real” – a comment that many online deemed “unsettling” and “straight out of a Netflix thriller.”
Even more eyebrow-raising is the rumor that Brooklyn has turned down work opportunities unless Nicola is included – whether behind the camera or on-screen. A former collaborator told DailyMail+, “There was a brand deal he could’ve locked down months ago, but he insisted Nicola had to be part of it. When they refused, he walked. It’s like he won’t exist without her.”
Insiders claim Victoria Beckham, who has always been hands-on with her children’s careers, has tried to “gently intervene” by encouraging Brooklyn to pursue his own passions – photography, cooking, even fashion – but her efforts have reportedly “fallen on deaf ears.” “Nicola is all he talks about,” says the source. “He won’t even go to events alone anymore. If she’s not invited, he doesn’t go.”
The tension has reportedly caused a fresh strain between Nicola and her in-laws, reigniting whispers of a long-standing feud that the families have repeatedly denied. “Vic sees the signs,” says one well-placed source. “She’s been in the public eye long enough to know when someone’s losing their autonomy. She wants her son to have his own identity again.”
Online, the backlash is growing louder. Fans have pointed out Brooklyn’s increasingly saccharine captions and over-the-top devotion as signs of an imbalance. “It’s not romantic anymore,” one commenter wrote. “It feels like he’s lost himself completely. It’s creepy, not cute.”
Despite the mounting criticism, the couple appear unfazed – or at least determined to present a united front. Just last week, Brooklyn posted a photo of Nicola captioned, “I don’t know who I’d be without you.” For many fans, it read less like a compliment – and more like a cry for help.
Whether it’s love, obsession, or something far more complicated, one thing is certain: Brooklyn Beckham is no longer just the son of football and fashion royalty. He’s the headline of a modern fairy tale that’s beginning to look a little too intense for comfort.
