WORRY ABOUT 'BESOTTED' SON 'Their relationship isn't a healthy one'

DAVID and Victoria Beckham are worried about son Brooklyn's “unhealthy” relationship with his wife Nicola, their friends claim.

Pals believe Nicola, 30, is isolating him from not only his parents but also his friends and extended family.

It comes as the 26-year-old pledged his loyalty to his wife in a social media post yesterday, writing: “I always choose you, baby.”

Pals said it would be “disappointing but unsurprising” if Brooklyn meant this as a dig at his family - and they laid the blame firmly at his wife.

The source added: “They feel Nicola is creating conflict that isn’t there - or at the very least ramping it up - in order to isolate Brooklyn from his family. Yes, Brooklyn is his own man but Nicola is the one pulling the strings. It feels like she wants him to pick sides and that’s what's clearly happening.”

Sources close to Nicola have previously insisted that as “an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within”.

Her friends claim Brooklyn and Nicola both want “nothing more than to be loved and supported” but that “Victoria and David make that virtually impossible”. Friends of the Beckhams have strongly disputed this version of events.
