Brooklyn Beckham’s first public statement for dad David Beckham has emerged amid his rumoured family rift.
Days after the 50th birthday snub, Brooklyn’s interview with The Sunday Times published on Saturday, showing the retired footballer’s eldest son honour him at the Formula E Evo Sessions in Miami at the Miami International Autodrome.
“It’s something that me and my dad bonded over,” Brooklyn began as he explained how he grew fondness for racing when he was “very young.”
“My dad’s had some pretty cool cars,” Brooklyn continued in the interview conducted in early March, adding that he collects them with his favorite being a “1954 Jaguar, which I very rarely drive, only when the weather’s perfect.”
Brooklyn drove the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 for the first time on March 5 during the electric race car event, previously sharing that he “jumped at the chance” to “get behind the wheel.”
Brooklyn’s latest interview comes days after a source told People Magazine that he and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham have a strained relationship with David and Victoria, 51.
“The relationship is definitely not beyond repair,” the insider said. “They love and are always there for him. They’re just hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”
Brooklyn and Nicola—who wed on April 9, 2022—celebrated their third wedding anniversary last month but the couple still remained quite when his dad and mom’s birthdays emerged.
