Brooklyn Beckham has already tried out a fair few careers as a photographer, chef, and hot sauce connoisseur, but he’s now adding author to that list.
Rumours of a tell-all memoir have emerged after his bombshell statement on Instagram sent the internet into meltdown.
Responses have ranged from thinkpieces on raising children in the spotlight to streaming Victoria Beckham’s solo music on repeat.
Meanwhile, the Beckhams themselves have stayed fairly silent on their side of things, probably waiting for the ‘inappropriate’ wedding dance memes to burn out.
Sir David did comment on children ‘making mistakes’ but a source close to Brooklyn has stressed that is actions were not a ‘final cry for help’.
‘If people think it’s the end, it’s actually the beginning,’ they said to the Daily Mail.
Apparently, Brooklyn has been offered book deals before but has always dismissed them or suggested it’s something for the future.
However, his recent family drama seems to have changed his tune.
‘This is the first time he’s seriously considered telling his side of the story to clear the air,’ the source said. ‘He’s sick of others rewriting it for him.’
It’s reported that Brooklyn still has strong ties with Penguin Random House, who published his photography work What I See in 2017.
The collection was widely mocked, even if it sold well, with iconic pictures such as the silhouette elephant still referenced almost a decade later.
Brooklyn wouldn’t be the first Brit to drop a tell-all memoir after cutting ties with his family and moving to the States with his American wife.
Prince Harry’s Spare was declared the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time by Guinness World Records upon its release in 2023.
It’s hardly surprising, given the popularity of that book and the comparisons already flying between the two, that the hot sauce salesman might be swayed.
Brooklyn has also been spending time with the Sussexes, including dinner in their Montecito home and using legal representation previously associated with the couple.
His parents, or Sir David and Victoria as he’s reportedly now calling them, are allegedly unwilling to push too hard for fear they’ll lose him for good.
‘They know they have to be careful,’ the source added. ‘If they push him, if they deny it publicly or hit back, it only makes him more inclined to go further.

‘They’ve learned from the mistakes of others. This is a game of chess.’
After months of speculation and rumours surrounding the nature of his relationship with his parents, Brooklyn broke his silence in a shocking statement.
Among his allegations, the former photographer and eldest Beckham child accused his family of ‘bribery’ and ‘controlling’ him.
He also declared emphatically that he does not wish to reconcile with his former footballer pro dad and fashion designer mum, despite recent swirling reports that a reunion could be on the cards.
