David Beckham stonewalled an interview question amid his family’s ongoing feud with son Brooklyn Beckham.
In an interview published by Variety on Friday — the same day the soccer legend was honored with a staron the Hollywood Walk of Fame — David was asked what “toll” the “vicious” coverage of the “family strife” had taken on them.
“To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter,” David replied. “That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.”
The shutdown came amid a huge moment for David, 51, as his remaining children, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper — and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham — gathered to celebrate the milestone achievement in Hollywood.
Brooklyn, as expected, did not attend alongside his siblings and parents.
Following the ceremony, Harper, 14, was spotted in photos,exclusively obtained by Page Six, stopping by her brother’s Los Angeles home. Though, she left moments later without being received.
A source confirmed to Page Six that Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz were not at home, and they are believed to be in New York.
A rep for Brooklyn, 27, and Peltz, 31, told Page Six, “That photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all — this was choreographed for the cameras.”
Reps for David and Victoria have not responded to Page Six’s requests for comment on the matter.
Brooklyn famously took to social media in January with a bombshell statement accusing his parents of a number of wrongdoings — including “controll[ing] narratives in the press” about the family.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” he wrote in the lengthy screed at the time, noting that his statement was an effort to “tell the truth about … some of the lies that have been printed” as his parents “and their team” allegedly “continued to go to the press” about his marriage to Peltz.
He also accused them of “performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships.”
“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade,” he wrote.
Among Brooklyn’s most shocking accusations were that his mother, Victoria, 52, had “hijacked” his first dance with Peltz at their lavish 2022 nuptials and “danced very inappropriately on” him — a moment he wrote he’d “never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated” over.
Brooklyn claimed his parents “have been trying endlessly to ruin [his] relationship” with Peltz since before the wedding.
In shutting out his family — directing them to only contact him through an attorney going forward –Brooklyn wrote that he and Peltz do “not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”
A source previously told Page Six, “Even though Brooklyn has made it clear he doesn’t want to see his parents, the rest of his family misses him desperately.”
In his interview with Variety, David declared that his family with Victoria “always comes first.”
He added, “That’s our priority, and that’s what makes it work when you’ve been together for so long. Our priority will always be our family.”
Brooklyn and Nicola took to social media with subtle reactions to the ongoing drama — on Saturday, Nicola shared a photo of a colorful sunrise above the trees via Instagram Stories.
Brooklyn, meanwhile, re-shared a photo of himself jogging in the morning sunlight.
