David and Victoria Beckham ‘have fears their son Brooklyn will be left with nothing’ after he allegedly signed a rigid prenuptial agreement before he wed Nicola Peltz.
Brooklyn’s choice to sign the prenup in 2022 means he will not gain any of the Peltz’s billionaire family fortune if he and Nicola were to split.
The aspiring chef, 26, launched an astonishing rant at his parents David and Victoria on Monday night.
He took to Instagram to share a six-page statement, where he said he has no wishes 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 stated that ‘my parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship (with wife Nicola) since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped’.
Despite his explosive statement, his parents still care about Brooklyn’s future if they were to ever split, sources claim.

Nicola’s businessman and investor father Nelson Peltz, 83, is said to be worth an astonishing £1.2 billion.
While Brooklyn’s famous parents, former Spice Girl Victoria and footballer David, are worth an estimated £335 million.
The pre-nup allegedly states Brooklyn would only leave the marriage with ‘half of what they have made as a brand’.
A source told The Sun: ‘The fear is that he has been completely absorbed into the Peltz’s and has become alienated from everyone else.
‘If they ever did break up, Brooklyn would be completely ostracised and without much cash to show for it.
‘It’s as if he’s being held captive or something, because heartbreakingly, that’s what it feels like for them. His future is completely in the hands of the Peltz’s.’
The publication added that those close to Brooklyn say it is ‘irrelevant as they are stronger than ever as a couple’.
Daily Mail has contacted the Beckham’s and the Peltz’s representatives for comment.

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have been at the heart of the acrimonious divide that has resulted in them snubbing all significant family celebrations over recent months, including his father Sir David’s milestone 50th birthday and knighthood.
David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son claimed in his statement that he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.
Brooklyn concluded: ‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.
‘Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.
‘The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.
‘I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.
‘My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.’
Whilst Victoria has not been spotted since Brooklyn’s statement, David was heckled yesterday as he faced the media at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

When asked about the feud, he declined to answer any direct questions but he later spoke, somewhat ironically, on the perils and virtues of children using social media.
In an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, he said that he has tried to ‘educate’ his own children about the dangers of social media apps while also showing them how they can work for ‘good’.
‘I’ve always spoken about social media and the power of social media for the good and for the bad,’ he said on stage.
The former Manchester United star said he’d been able to use his ‘platform’ and his position as a Unicef ambassador to ‘make people aware of what’s going on around the world for children’.
He added: ‘I’ve tried to do the same with my children, to educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.’
David also filmed a podcast with US popular science author Adam Grant, but emphatically refused to answer any questions relating to Brooklyn.
