Gordon Ramsay has urged Brooklyn Beckham to ‘remember where he came from’ and believes the influencer’s ‘infatuation’ with Nicola Peltz has led to his very public decision to cut ties with his immediate family.
The celebrity chef has spoken out for the first time about the ongoing feud that has seen close friends David and Victoria Beckham become increasingly estranged from the eldest son.
Now based in the United States with actress wife Peltz – the daughter of billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz – Brooklyn recently outlined his desire to distance himself from his family in a six page Instagram statement, filled with lurid allegations.
These include the incredible claim that Victoria hijacked his first wedding dance with Peltz and ‘danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone’ – an allegation Ramsay, who attended the wedding, has dismissed.
And the chef, 59, believes the ‘penny will soon drop’ for the influencer, with whom he maintains a strong bond, and insists both David and Victoria have been outstanding parents to Brooklyn and his three siblings.
‘Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible,’ he told The Sun.

‘But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.
‘I’ve seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible. They’ve both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they’ve got Brooklyn out of the s***.
‘I think it’s going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.’
Ramsay, himself a father of five with wife Tana, also advised the Los Angeles based influencer to ‘remember’ where he came from.
‘He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do,’ he said.
‘But remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop.’
A long-time friend of former Manchester United and England midfielder David and his fashion designer wife, Ramsay and his family were among 500 guests as Brooklyn exchanged vows with Peltz at her family’s sprawling Miami compound in 2022.
But he refutes the influencer’s claim that his mother was responsible for publicly embarrassing him and leaving his wife in floods of tears by forcing her out of a pre-arranged wedding dance at their lavish reception.
‘We were there at the wedding,’ he recalled. ‘There was nothing salacious. There was nothing inappropriate. Everyone was having fun, having a dance.’
Rubbishing persistent rumours of Victoria dancing inappropriately, he added: ‘No! Nothing of the sort. It was fun.’
