'I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to call you my Valentine every year x. 'I love you more than you know and I will forever protect and love you x.'Brooklyn's pointed statement about 'protecting Nicola' comes after he accused his 'controlling' parents where he accused them of trying to ruin their marriage humiliating him and causing him crippling anxiety in a six-page Instagram post back in January.

'I'm so lucky I get to call you my forever Valentine. You're the most beautiful human and I love doing life with you.'It comes just days after Brooklyn unfollowed his father’s best friend Gordon Ramsay on Instagram after the chef called for him to ‘remember where he came from’. The TV star issued the warning to Brooklyn in an interview on Friday but insisted that the pair have a good relationship.Gordon, 59, said he believes it is Brooklyn’s ‘infatuation’ with his wife Nicola Peltz that has led to his decision to cut ties with his parents Victoria and David.Brooklyn has since unfollowed the chef but has stopped short of blocking him. Friends of the Ramsays suspect Brooklyn and his wife are furious that the TV star has discussed the feud in a way that portrays them negatively.A friend of the families said: ‘Brooklyn and Nicola clearly don’t want any criticism at all. They just don’t want to hear any negativity about themselves. Brooklyn also gave fans a glimpse of their romantic celebrations on his Instagram Stories, where the couple appeared to indulge in two bottles of wine, costing £750 each They then enjoyed an intimate dinner Nicola also shared a sweet tribute to her husband ‘They must hate being talked about unless it’s gushing. Maybe they don’t like the truth.’Ramsay said he believes it is only ‘a matter of time’ before Brooklyn realises ‘what his parents mean to him’.He told The Sun: ‘He’s desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do. 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.‘Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible.‘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.’The celebrity chef, whose son Jack was Brooklyn’s closest childhood friend, also praised the Beckhams for their parenting.He added: ‘I’ve seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible.

Brooklyn was following Gordon on Friday night as the interview was printed. However, on Saturday he was not (pictured) However, Gordon is still able to follow Brooklyn, meaning he is yet to make the ultimate influencer snub of blocking him – like he has his own parents'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 also refuted Brooklyn’s accusation that his mother Victoria ‘hijacked’ his first dance with Ms Peltz at their wedding in April 2022 and danced inappropriately with him.The chef said: ‘We were there at the wedding. There was nothing salacious. There was nothing inappropriate. Everyone was having fun, having a dance.’It comes as Brooklyn ignored his youngest brother Cruz's extended olive branch on Instagram for the first time since the family's huge falling out.Cruz shared a gallery of images of his oldest sibling for the first time since a bitter feud engulfed the Beckham family.Notably, Cruz shared the Billy Joel song The River Of Dreams as a soundtrack to his post, which includes poignant lyrics about 'something sacred I lost'.However, despite Cruz's clear bid to send a message of reconciliation to Brooklyn, his older brother did not appear to reciprocate the hopeful tone. It comes as Cruz Beckham extended an olive branch to his estranged brother Brooklyn on Instagram on Wednesday - months after a bitter feud famously engulfed the family Cruz also shared this picture of himself and his siblings in beekeeping attire - a pastime they would take part in with father David (L-R Romeo, Cruz, Harper, Brooklyn) Among the posts was a picture of Cruz with his mother Victoria, a clear sign of solidarity after she was blamed for ruining Brooklyn's wedding to NicolaInstead he shared a gallery of images that included his wife Nicola, accompanied by the thinly veiled Barry White track, You're The First, The Last, My Everything.Unlike his brother, Brooklyn's pictures were new snaps of his current life, rather than the nostalgic callbacks chosen by Cruz.Cruz posted a black and white picture of himself with his two brothers as children, as well as all of his siblings, including sister Harper, 14, sporting beekeeping gear.The mix of old and new images featured the Billy Joel backing track.The song goes... 'I've been searching for something, taken out of my soul, Something I'd never lose, Something somebody stole. I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life, Until I find what it is that I've been looking for...'The post comes after the Daily Mail reported Brooklyn still has the 'brotherhood' tattoo.He, Romeo, 23, and Cruz famously got matching tattoos in 2023, and despite cutting ties with his family, the chef's inking was still visible during an outing on Tuesday.Brooklyn also still sports the ballerina inking on his leg that he had done to honour his sister Harper, but he has had his 'dad' tattoo covered up.In a six-page scathing statement, released on Instagram on January 19, Brooklyn said he has no plans to reconcile with his family.He accused his mother Victoria of ruining his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz and his father David for caring about public perception and endorsements above all else.Yet among Cruz's latest gallery post was a picture of himself with his mother Victoria, a clear sign of solidarity after Brooklyn's claims.In December Cruz claimed Brooklyn had blocked the entire family on social media following reports they had unfollowed him, saying: 'My mum and dad would never unfollow their son... Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I'. Cruz posted the images after it was revealed Brooklyn still has his 'brotherhood' tattoo. The Beckham boys got matching tattoos in 2023, and despite cutting ties with his family, the chef's inking was still visible during an outing on Tuesday This claim was contradicted by Brooklyn in his statement where he said he claimed his brothers 'blocked me out of nowhere this last summer'.Shared across multiple Instagram stories, Brooklyn claimed his parents had been 'trying to ruin' his relationship with Nicola and controlling him 'for most of my life'.According to Brooklyn, Marc called him on stage during the wedding and then called for Victoria to come dance with him, stealing the moment that had been carefully planned for Brooklyn and Nicola.Reports say the singer even invited 'the most beautiful woman in the room tonight' to join him, and it wasn’t the bride Nicola, but Posh Spice, leaving guests completely aghast.Nicola was left devastated by the three-minute dance to a love song performed on stage by Marc, and left the room in tears.Her family went after Nicola and Brooklyn looked humiliated and also went to find his new wife after the 'awkward' dance took place, said DJ Fat Tony who performed at the wedding.Nicola's billionaire father Nelson has also broken his silence on the Beckham feud.The business magnate, 83, spoke about the family drama when he did a Q and A at WSJD's Invest Live in West Palm Beach event earlier this month.Nelson said: 'My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story and that's not for coverage here today. But I'll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.'Nelson was also asked if he gave the couple advice in how to navigate a difficult situation. He replied: 'I do. Sometimes they give me advice.'Nicola's father's wealth eclipses that of his co-parents-in-law, with the businessman boasting a net worth of $1.6billion, in comparison to the Beckhams' $680million.Brooklyn Beckham's statement in full I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.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. But I believe the truth always comes out.My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer. 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. 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.My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.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 opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.' But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.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.
