After weighing in on Brooklyn Beckham’s feud with his parents, Gordon Ramsay is said to have ruffled feathers with Posh and Becks.
The celebrity chef, 59, recently revealed where his loyalties lie amid the rift between eldest Brooklyn and David and Victoria, urging the 26-year-old to ‘remember where he came from’ after hitting out at his mum and dad in an explosive statement last month.
Gordon also suggested that Brooklyn, who has accused his parents of ‘controlling’ him, was so ‘infatuated’ with his wife, Nicola Peltz, 31, that it fuelled his decision to cut ties completely, having declared he ‘doesn’t wish to reconcile’ with the Beckham brood.
In the aftermath of Gordon’s remarks as he promoted his new Netflix docuseries, Brooklyn used actions rather than words to show how he felt, as he unfollowed his longtime family friend on social media.
It’s also said he has further snubbed his childhood besties, twins Jack and Holly Ramsay, having unfollowed them as well to ‘make a stand’ about severing connections from his ‘old life’.
But now, it’s been claimed that neither David, 50, nor Victoria, 51, would’ve chosen to address the drama with their son publicly, with insiders claiming they ‘never will’, suggesting Gordon weighing in caught them somewhat off-guard.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source said that the treatment given to his parents by Brooklyn has felt ‘rotten’, but he’s now ‘found himself in the strange position of being spoken about as a tool to promote Gordon’s Netflix show’.
‘Gordon is nearly 60 and took a pop at a kid he has known since he was a toddler,’ they continued, as Gordon was hired by David for his World Cup party in 2006, and they’ve been pals ever since.
‘David and Victoria haven’t spoken on the issue, and they never will – and then Gordon wades in.
‘He has got a point. He has seen his best friends, David and Victoria, go through hell. Perhaps that’s why he did it, or maybe he thought he was helping the situation.’
The publication also claims that there was an atmosphere at Gordon’s recent launch party for Being Gordon Ramsay, which David and Victoria attended to support him and his wife, Tana Ramsay.
Posing together at his Lucky Cat restaurant in Mayfair, the group put on a united front. However, Victoria has been accused of looking ‘stony-faced’ for most of the night, perhaps as a result of the elephant in the room.
What’s more, it’s said that Gordon’s willingness to speak so freely on the feud between the Beckhams was especially surprising, given how his own family made headlines at the start of the year.
Gordon – who said it’s ‘a good thing’ for Brooklyn to ‘forge his own way’, but he needs to ‘understand’ that ‘one day, you’re not going to have your mum and dad’ – watched with pride as daughter Holly, 26, married Olympian Adam Peaty, 30, at Bath Abbey.
But their nuptials were marred with drama after Adam uninvited his parents from the wedding, leaving his mum, Caroline, admittedly ‘distraught.’
The Hell’s Kitchen star later spoke publicly on the family strain, claiming he and Tana ‘welcomed’ Adam’s parents into the fold and branded their accusations that he ‘bullied’ them as ‘absolute nonsense’.
Adam remains distant from his parents, with only his sister present as a bridesmaid at the ceremony.
So, for Gordon to offer commentary and ‘stir the pot’ on the dynamic between David, Victoria, and Brooklyn, it’s reportedly left others in their inner circles ‘stunned’.
‘It feels like Gordon should get his own house in order before he starts commenting on others,’ a source added.
‘Brooklyn will argue that his fallout with his parents is his business, not Gordon’s.’
Only time will tell whether Brooklyn and his parents can grow close again, although it’s said they now only communicate through lawyers.
Brooklyn has also started covering up the numerous family tattoos he has on his body, and despite his dignified silence on the situation, fans reckon David threw shade at his eldest by praising ‘loyal to [his] family’ Cruz in a 21st birthday tribute.
The budding chef remains in the States with actress wife Nicola and his billionaire in-laws, while his parents mostly reside across the pond.
As for what’s next, sources have said that ‘nothing would faze’ either the Ramsays or the Beckhams these days, but they have ‘always been there for one another’ over the years.
Gordon’s loose-lipped behaviour might have some blowback, though, as it could impact his solid bond with David and Victoria.
‘There is definitely a sense that Gordon’s comments weren’t exactly helpful, and it is a bit strange that he did it.’
