"I have been silent for years and have made every effort to keep these matters private," Brooklyn began, going on to say, "I do not want to reconcile with my family" in reference to the feud.

Brooklyn then made a series of claims against his parents and brothers, particularly making allegations about his mother's behavior at his 2022 wedding to Peltz.

"My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped," he alleged. Brooklyn claimed that his mother, who launched her fashion brand in 2008, told the couple that she would make Peltz's wedding gown, but canceled "in the eleventh hour," forcing a last-minute alteration to plans on their wedding day.

Brooklyn also alleged that his parents "repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name." After he held out, "they have never treated me the same since." Brooklyn claimed that David and Victoria even "went so far as to call me 'evil'" for seating his grandmother, Sandra, and Peltz's grandmother at their wedding table, while his parents sat at their own table.

He finally alleged that Victoria "hijacked" his first dance with Peltz, and "danced very inappropriately" on him in front of their 500 guests while singer Marc Anthony serenaded the crowd.

Many have speculated on a rift in the family since 2022, when fans noticed that Peltzdidn't wearone of Victoria's designs at the wedding. Brooklyn wasno longer following his parentson Instagram as of December, and, at the end of 2025, Davidleft Brooklyn outof his year-end recap post.

In his first public appearance since Brooklyn's posts,David lightly addressed the controversy during a CNBC interviewin January, during which he addressed the potential pitfalls of social media.

"I've tried to do the same with my children, to educate them," he said, shortly after Brooklyn blasted his parents online. "They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That's how they learn. That's what I try to teach my kids, but, you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well."

EW reached out to representatives for David and Victoria Beckham, as well as their other sons, Cruz and Romeo James, at the time.

Ex-Prince Andrew Surrenders Lease on Another Royal Residence

The former Prince Andrew was asked to surrender the lease of East Lodge, a cottage near Windsor that he has rented since 1998

NEED TO KNOW

• The former Duke of York recently moved out of his longtime home at Royal Lodge

• The news follows scrutiny of Andrew's finances and his historic arrest on Feb. 19

The formerPrince Andrewis giving up another royal residence.

On March 3, theBBCreported that the former Duke of York, 66, has been asked to surrender the lease of East Lodge, which he has rented since 1998 from the Crown Estate.

PEOPLE has contacted the Crown Estate for comment.

East Lodge is a Grade II-listed, thatched cottage that Andrew began leasing in February 1998 for a staff member on commercial terms, who continues to live there, according to aresponsefrom the Crown Estate submitted to the Public Accounts Committee in November 2025.

The Crown Estate is an independent, commercial business with a vast portfolio including land, seabed and urban centers around the U.K. It is not owned byKing Charles,and its profits go to the Treasury.

As of August 2025, Andrew had been paying about $17,293 in annual rent for the property, a fraction of the cost for an area where two to three-bedroom apartments could cost as much as $10,000 per month to rent, the BBC said.

Its latest lease terms are thought to have been due to end in July 2027, and the early eviction may have been spurred after the BBC submitted a Freedom of Information request in January about the residence.

"Since then… we have received a request for us to consider an early termination of the lease," the Crown Estate told the outlet.

The legal process now kicks in for Andrew to surrender the lease,The Timesreported.

It was announced in October 2025 that King Charles' brother wasevicted from Royal Lodge, his longtime home andcontentious residence where he allegedly paid "peppercorn rent,"when the monarchstripped his royal titles. King Charles made the move amid renewed scrutiny of Andrew's ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier and convicted sex offender who died while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in August 2019.

Andrew's alleged connections to Epstein sparked hisstep back from his royal rolethat November following a tell-all BBC Newsnight interview, though he has denied any wrongdoing regarding their relationship. Queen Elizabeth laterstripped Andrew of his military titles and patronagesin January 2022 after a judge rejected his attempt to have Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre'ssexual assault lawsuitagainst him dismissed; he settled with Giuffre out of court the following month.

PEOPLE confirmed that the former Duke of York, who is now calledAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor, officially moved out of Royal Lodge in early February, leaving the 30-room mansion in Windsor Great Park that he called home since 2003.  He was expected totemporarily live at Wood Farmon the Sandringham estate in Norfolk before moving into another property nearby, which is currently undergoing renovations.

On the morning of Feb. 19, his 66th birthday, Andrew wasarrested at Wood Farm on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Andrew's historic arrest and ongoing fallout around his family are the subject ofPEOPLE's exclusive cover storythis week, where royal author Catherine Mayer says, "A stronger intervention earlier on might have prevented all of this."

NFL Star Drew Dalman Shocks by Retiring at Age 27 and Walking Away from $42 Million Contract

Drew Dalman is calling it quits

NEED TO KNOW

• The Chicago Bears center is walking away from the remainder of his three-year, $42 million contract

• Dalman is credited with contributing to the team's success this year, decreasing the amount of quarterback Caleb Williams' sacks from 68 in 2024-25 to 24 in 2025-26

Drew Dalman is walking away from the NFL — and $24 million left on his contract with the Chicago Bears.

The center is retiring at the age of 27 after five seasons in the league,according to ESPN.

Dalman, who just finished his first year of a three-year, $42 million contract with the Bears, is widely credited for making a significant impact with the team.

After quarterbackCaleb Williams' tough rookie season in which he was sacked 68 times, the franchise signed Dalman and other offensive lineman to shore up his protection.

The move resulted in fewer sacks (only 24) and the Bears' resurgence this year, where they made it to the Divisional Round game before losing in a 20-17 heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Rams.

Dalman also made the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career, after one season with the Bears and four with the Atlanta Falcons. The California native started all 17 regular-season games for the team plus two playoff games.

The Stanford product's decision was met with surprise by many of his teammates — including Williams.

"4eva! Appreciate you!" Williams, 24,wrote in his Instagram Stories. "And gonna miss ya big guy!! Enjoy retirement."

Dalman may be required to return to the Bears the balance of his signing bonus,NBC Sports reported. The 6-foot, 3-inch, 303 lb.-player earned a third of the $6 million he received upfront, and he may be required to pay back $4 million.

Selected 114th overall by the Falcons in the 2021 NFL Draft,Dalman is the son of former San Francisco 49ers player Chris Dalman, who also played at Stanford.

Tennessee guard leaves team, calls senior night 'breaking point'

Tennessee women's basketball reserve Kaiya Wynn announced Tuesday that she has left the program, citing how she was treated during last week's senior day game as a "breaking point."

Wynn, who is finishing her fifth season with the Volunteers, has appeared in nine games this season after missing the entire 2024-25 season with an Achilles injury. She did not appear in the home finale, an 87-77 loss to No. 5 Vanderbilt on Sunday, although she claims she was asked to sub in for the final seconds and refused.

"This decision was not made lightly or instantly," Wynn wrote on social media. "For the past five years I have given my all for Tennessee and have not regretted doing so once. Obviously, my last two seasons on the team have been less than ideal for many reasons, but the one night I was most looking forward to was senior night.

"As someone who has never started a career game, l was hoping to start in my last appearance in Thompson-Boling. That obviously did not happen, and to be asked to check into the game with 15 seconds left while losing was not how I wanted to spend my final moments in my arena after five years. Although that was not the sole reason, it was the breaking point for me. I have the utmost love and respect for my teammates and this program and wish everyone nothing but the best."

Wynn has appeared in 102 games for Tennessee, averaging 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. She averaged career highs of 4.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 13.4 minutes per game in 2023-24.

The guard originally signed to play for Kellie Harper, who was fired after the 2023-24 season and replaced by Kim Caldwell. The school nor coach have commented on Wynn's departure.

Tennessee (16-12, 8-8 Southeastern Conference) is the No. 6 seed in this week's SEC tournament in Greenville, S.C. The Volunteers having lost their last six games and nine of their last 11 since starting the season with a 14-3 (6-0) record.
