Lily Allen has shown support for Brooklyn Beckham following his public estrangement from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Amid Brooklyn’s allegations against his parents, whom he accused of trying to “ruin” his marriage to Nicola Peltz, the West End Girl singer-songwriter seemingly shared her support for the 26-year-old. In a post on her Instagram Stories, she shared a version of the West End Girl artwork, originally by artist Nieves González, edited by digital artist Glassface to depict Brooklyn in the same polka dot puffer jacket.
The post was soundtracked by the title track from the album, which focuses on her marriage and eventual separation from actor David Harbour, whom she married in 2020.
Allen is no stranger to breaking off ties with someone very publicly. Upon the arrival of her latest album West End Girl last year, she accused Harbour of infidelity across several tracks on the record. “I can’t trust anything that comes out of your mouth/I’m not convinced that he didn’t fuck you in our house,” she sings on one song, while she describes finding sex paraphernalia in his bags on another track.
She confirmed the split from Harbour last year, before the arrival of the album. Harbour, who was gearing up to promote the final season of Stranger Things upon the album’s release, later admitted that he had made “mistakes” in recent years.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn Beckham, who is the eldest of David and Victoria Beckham’s children, spoke out amid speculation of family turmoil across a series of Instagram Story posts. In the posts, he said that he did not want to “reconcile” with his parents, and accused them of trying to control the narrative about him and the rest of their family.
“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,” Brooklyn wrote, accusing his parents of attempting to “ruin” his relationship to Nicola Peltz.
