Beckhams set condition to reconnect with son Brooklyn
David and Victoria Beckham are believed to be ‘raging’ over Brooklyn’s sensational accusations and ‘will only speak to him again if he splits from wife Nicola Peltz‘.
In an extraordinary statement shared to his Instagram Stories on Monday, Brooklyn, 26, share a six-page statement, where he said he has no wish to reconcile with his family and is standing up for himself ‘for the first time in my life’, claiming his parents have ‘controlled narratives about our family’.
He also made a series of bombshell allegations about his 2022 Florida wedding, including claims that his mother Victoria, 51, dramatically hijacked what was meant to be his romantic first dance with Nicola.
Brooklyn claimed the incident left him feeling ‘more uncomfortable and humiliated than ever in his life’, accusing his mother of dancing ‘inappropriately’ on him in a way he found deeply embarrassing.
Victoria is said to have been left ‘devastated’ after taking the brunt in the vicious family fallout with son Brooklyn and Nicola – as the internet continues to explode with memes, jokes and speculation over what Victoria’s dancing would have entailed.
And in a new twist, sources claim David and Victoria won’t be giving Brooklyn the time of day ‘if he is still with Nicola’.
Despite everything that’s happened, David and Victoria still love their son. He will always be their boy, and there will always be a place for him in their home.
‘They have tried everything in their power to mend their relationship with him and it hasn’t worked. Now it feels like there is no going back while he is still with Nicola’, according to The Sun.
Victoria’s parents Jackie and Tony, as well as David’s Sandra and Ted, are also said to feel heartbroken by Brooklyn’s actions.
The source continued: ‘The grandparents are once again so upset. They feel powerless and don’t know what to do.
‘They love Brooklyn but of course love their own children dearly and see the pain etched on their faces.’
Daily Mail has contacted the Beckham’s and Peltz’s for comment.
The Spice Girls star’s estranged child took to Instagram to denounce his relationship with his ‘performative’ parents and reveal that his mum ‘hijacked his first dance’ and said: ‘I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.’
While the newlyweds planned a very romantic performance, Victoria reportedly chose to dance ‘very inappropriately on her son’ in front of their 500 guests.
He penned: ‘My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.
‘In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead’.
He continued: ‘She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment’.
Brooklyn and Nicola wed in April 2022 in a lavish £3.5M wedding at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
They then renewed their wedding vows in August 2025 with Brooklyn’s parents and siblings not invited to the ceremony in New York’s Westchester County.
A wedding guest has also backed up Brooklyn’s claims that Victoria danced ‘inappropriately’ with him at his wedding.
Wedding guest Stavros Agapiou has now spoken out, insisting that they witnessed Victoria’s ‘inappropriate’ dancing.
Agapiou is the partner of British DJ Fat Tony, who was asked to perform at the reception. In an Instagram comment, they wrote: ‘I was there and she did, he’s telling the truth.’
The comment has since been deleted and Stavros instead posted ‘Good on him for finally speaking out!’
Nicola and Brooklyn’s April 2022 wedding was covered by US Vogue, which went into lavish detail about how the wedding party followed American traditions of a mother and son and father and daughter dance.
Vogue say the newlyweds’ first dance was to South African singer Lloyiso’s rendition of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love.
The publication then states that Marc Anthony, a close friend of David and Victoria, took to the stage much later into the reception at 11pm to perform his track I Need To Know.
It was at this point ‘Brooklyn invited his mother on stage for a dance and they were joined by David and their 10-year-old daughter, Harper.’
The claim that Brooklyn ‘invited’ his mother to dance is in direct contrast to his statement that ‘Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.’
Meanwhile, in the wake of the statement, a throwback tweet from Victoria, with images showing her dancing with David with the caption: ‘Never met a dance floor I didn’t like’ resurfaced.
Despite proudly declaring he was a once a ‘mama’s boy’, Brooklyn focused mainly on Victoria in his lengthy statement, with his vitriolic comments leaving her ‘on the floor in pieces’.
While recollections seem to vary on what exactly happened on his wedding day, Brooklyn also made a point of claiming that his parents ‘attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.’
Daily Mail revealed that it’s Victoria who solely owns the trademark to Brooklyn Beckham’s name – which is set to expire this year.
Documents lodged with the UK’s Intellectual Property Office show that in December 2016, Victoria took out the trademark in her son’s name, but when that expires in December of this year Brooklyn will be free to renew using his own legal team.
The trademark covers classes of goods including cosmetics and aftershaves, clothes, shoes, sportswear, hats, toys, TV shows and music.
Posh also took out trademarks in the names of her three other children.
In his statement, Brooklyn claimed: ‘They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because when the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’
A source added to Page Six: ‘Before Brooklyn and Nicola were married, Victoria called Brooklyn and said, “Daddy has a very big deal, you need to sign this contract.”‘
An industry insider, however, said the deal with Authentic Brands Group was tied to David selling a majority stake in his brand management company, DB Ventures, for $269 million in 2022, and meant nothing negative for Brooklyn.
‘The agreement that Brooklyn was asked to sign was to protect his rights because his parents have commercial partners who have some rights over the Beckham name, and so it ensures that the kids are carved out of that, of course,’ said a Beckham insider at the time.
‘It’s entirely standard and is to protect the family. Brooklyn chose not to sign the agreement, but it makes no difference, as of course no one would ever restrict his rights.
‘Sadly, by then, Brooklyn had gotten rid of all his own advisers and was only listening to the Peltz lawyers who perhaps either didn’t understand the agreement or were being deliberately obstructive.’
PR agent and Brand expert Mark Borkowski told Daily Mail that Brooklyn’s blistering attack will undoubtedly have had an effect on ‘Brand Beckham’, which was built on ‘unity, warmth and professionalism’.
Mark explained: ‘This will be an existential crisis for the Beckhams. Even before with all the reports of the feud they made sure they were promoting the family by posting about Cruz’s music gig.
‘The problem is the Peltz’s are significant and ruthless businesspeople and they’ll be pretty good at exploiting Brooklyn if he wants to do something.
‘Now they can take an element of his brand and build on it – the same way Prince Harry did using his Windsor label with Meghan Markle.
‘Brooklyn is now in bed with one of the most powerful businessman in New York and America is a much bigger market for him.
‘As for the Peltz family, well they wouldn’t want a rogue Beckham brand flying around that they didn’t have control of. They’re a successful family and they’d be looking at their son-in-law thinking “how can we create something with the Peltz brand”.
‘It’s a horrible family soap opera for the Beckhams and how they recover from this will be an ongoing conversation for sure.’

Demi Moore Sparks ‘Ozempic Ears’ Accusations At 2026 Actor Awards
Demi’s Moore made a number of stunning transformations throughout her long acting career. Although Moore’s been working steadily since the 1980s, she gained important critical recognition with a 2025 Oscar nomination for “The Substance.” Soon after, Moore’s role as Cami Miller on the popular “Landman” series thrust the actor even further into the spotlight.
Moore’s long been the subject of plastic surgery rumors, and all this new attention has caused people to scrutinize Moore’s appearance even more. After she stepped out in a body-hugging outfit at a fashion show, people jumped to the conclusion that the “Landman” star is using Ozempic. When Moore appeared at the March 2026 Actor Awards (previously the Screen Actors Guild Awards), it was another opportunity for the rumor mill to start churning. Rather than claims about weight loss drugs affecting her face or neck, critics zeroed in on Moore’s ears. “Botched ozempic ears,” claimed one poster on X. “Losing all that weight made her ears massive,” asserted another.
However, by comparing a photo of Moore from 1989 with her 2026 awards show pic, it’s clear that these claims are ridiculous. Moore’s ears look essentially the same. While her ears are a standout feature, the actor’s hairstyle makes a big difference. When her hair is in a pixie cut or pulled back, Moore’s ears are much more noticeable than when they are partially covered by long, loose strands. Also, Moore’s dangly earrings create the illusion of larger ears.
Moore’s ears were on full display when she shaved her head
Although Demi Moore’s slicked-back ‘do seems like a radical departure from her signature long hair, the actor has sported plenty of shorter cuts throughout her career. Around the time of “GI Jane,” Moore even made a dramatic reveal of her shaved head during a David Letterman appearance.
Ozempic rumors aside, it’s possible that Moore’s ears could have changed slightly over time. “While significant weight loss can affect the appearance of the ears to some extent, the aging process and heavy earrings tend to have a more significant impact, particularly in older individuals,” Dr. Mark Murphy informed Allure. In Moore’s case, she seems to have a preference for bold statement earrings, so depending on their weight and how often she wears them, it’s possible her jewelry could have an impact.
Beyond her ears, it seems Moore’s changing appearance is causing fans to concoct all kinds of theories. For instance, one person was concerned that Moore’s appearance was connected to the difficulties of dealing with Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis. The former couple shares three children, and their daughter, Rumer Willis, shared a particularly bittersweet update on Bruce’s condition in late 2025. Others were worried about Moore’s health, especially those who felt her feet looked swollen in her pointy high heels. As Moore herself has noted, past health issues have affected her weight, like when a combination of professional pressure and a bout of shingles caused Moore to lose 20 pounds.

Jim Carrey Reflects on French Roots at Rare César Honor Appearance
The Truman Show star Jim Carrey made a rare public appearance at the 51st César Awards in Paris on Thursday evening to receive an Honorary César Award.
The actor, who stepped back from the limelight of late, teared up as director Michel Gondry recalled their collaboration on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and looked touched when actor Emmanuel Curtil, who is the official French voice of Carrey, begged him not to leave the profession.
Carrey delivered a highly accented acceptance speech in French as he received the rectangle block shaped trophy, recalling how his great-great-great-grandfather Marc-François Carrey had emigrated from the French port city of Saint Malo for Canada, while he himself had then travelled onto Los Angeles.
“About three hundred years ago, my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Marc François Carrey, left Saint-Malo in France for Canada. Tonight, with this magnificent honor, this ‘square’ has come full circle,” he said. “Perhaps this is what my family was looking for.
hank you to the funniest man I have ever known: my father, Percy Joseph Carrey, who taught me the value of love, generosity, and laughter. If you want fortune to smile upon you, smile upon it first. It is very difficult, but we must try. I will always cherish this memory. I will always smile at this memory.My life is paradise,” he continued, concluding: “So, how was my French? Mediocre, right?”
Carrey follows in a long line of illustrious César honorees which include Julia Roberts (2025), Christopher Nolan (2024), David Fincher (2023) Cate Blanchett (2022), Robert Redford (2019) and George Clooney (2017).
The once prolific actor who broke onto the big screen in 1994 with a trio of box office topping hit films – Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber – has slowed down the pace in recent years and also taken up painting.
In 2022, he suggested he was considering retiring from acting but then backtracked on the suggestion to reprise his Dr. Robotnik role in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 2024.

Panic as Miss Universe Stumbles during festival parade
Miss Universe Fátima Bosch worried onlookers when she suddenly fell to her knees while riding a parade float this weekend.
On Sunday, Feb. 15, the 2025 international titleholder attended the Fruit and Flower Festival in Ambato, Ecuador. While standing and waving to the crowd on a florally inspired platform, Bosch appeared to try to hold a railing behind her before dropping down in her mint-colored gown.
In videos of the incident since reshared on social media, those watching can be heard gasping and crying out in response to her unexpected fall. A woman climbed up the float to assist Bosch, who remained conscious as she spoke to the person who came to her aid.
Bosch did not immediately responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment. The Miss Universe Organization’s Head of Communications, Miguel Ángel Martínez, tells PEOPLE in a statement that Bosch “experienced a brief episode of lightheadedness after several hours of outdoor participation” during the festival parade.
“As a precaution, she was immediately assisted by her team and local medical personnel on site,” the statement continues. “She remained conscious, was evaluated promptly, and recovered quickly. Out of an abundance of care, her schedule was adjusted to allow for appropriate rest and hydration. She is feeling well and expressed her sincere appreciation for the warmth and hospitality she received in Ecuador.”
Martínez adds in the statement, “Fátima is currently on her official international Miss Universe World Tour, which includes cultural, humanitarian, and community engagements across multiple countries. At every stop, we work in close coordination with local organizers and medical teams to ensure the safety and well-being of our titleholders.”
He maintains that the “health and security” of Miss Universe delegates remains the organization’s highest priority.
Bosch represented Mexico at the Miss Universe contest last fall, and after three weeks of events and appearances, she was crowned winner on stage in Bangkok on Nov. 21. However, her participation in the prestigious, global pageant made headlines shortly after she and her fellow contestants arrived in Thailand.
At a pre-pageant event on Nov. 4 — which was livestreamed on Facebook by Miss Universe Thailand — pageant executive Nawat Itsaragrisil called out Bosch for allegedly refusing to partake in a photo shoot meant for contestants to share on their social media pages. He claimed that she wasn’t fulfilling her duty to “promote the host country.”
Despite Bosch denying the claims, Itsaragrisil continued to chastise her, prompting several other contestants to follow her out of the room as she left.
Following her win, Bosch discussed her Miss Universe win during an appearance on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper on Dec. 4. When asked about the global reaction to the viral confrontation, Bosch insisted she was concentrating at the time so she “didn’t have the time to see what happened.”
