Former spouse of Melanie Brown, Jimmy Gulzar, has alleged that Victoria and David Beckham once struggled to recall their son Brooklyn’s birth date, adding fuel to the ongoing family feud. Jimmy had previously taken to social media to criticize David after the footballer claimed credit for a fashion choice that Jimmy believed was his idea, insinuating a missed opportunity to work as David’s stylist. Following Brooklyn’s public statement expressing his disinterest in reconciling with his family, Jimmy resurfaced with a post reminiscing about the incident where David and Victoria allegedly couldn’t remember Brooklyn’s birth date.
In his post, Jimmy recounted a past event where David and Victoria had to consult with Victoria’s mother to confirm Brooklyn’s birth date during a visit to Jimmy’s house for David’s first tattoo. He questioned the absence of this anecdote in David’s publications. Meanwhile, the Beckhams have chosen to remain silent amid growing public support for Victoria, especially after her solo single topped the iTunes charts.
Jimmy, who was married to Scary Spice from 1998 to 2000, had previously accused David of imitating his style, including the iconic sarong worn during the 1998 World Cup. Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have disabled comments on their Instagram accounts following Brooklyn’s statement, leading to speculations that they are maintaining a low profile. Victoria, who has endured a strained relationship with Brooklyn, received some solace as her solo single from 2001 reached number one on the iTunes chart, propelled by a social media movement to grant her a solo number one like her former bandmates.
The success of Victoria’s single has garnered significant attention on social media, with even her son Cruz supporting her by featuring the track on his Instagram Stories. The unexpected chart surge provides a silver lining for Victoria amidst the turmoil within her family, particularly the rift with Brooklyn and Nicola. Brooklyn’s public allegations against his mother, including claims of inappropriate behavior at his wedding, have intensified the family discord, leading to their absence from significant family events. Despite her delayed solo career launch compared to her bandmates, Victoria’s recent chart success has brought some vindication amid the family turmoil.
