Megan Rapinoe's Heartfelt Revelation: What She Lost Beyond the Field New

Megan Rapinoe's Heartfelt Revelation: What She Lost Beyond the Field

Soccer star Megan Rapinoe is opening up about the tragic loss of a family member. “I went home last year after my older brother Michael died,” Rapinoe, 40, told guest Abby Wambach during the Thursday, June 11, episode of her “A Touch More” podcast. “He had a long battle with alcoholism. … It was sad.” Wambach, 46, pointed out that she and Rapinoe now both have brothers who died. (The former soccer pro’s eldest brother, Peter G. Wambach, Jr., died unexpectedly at age 51 in December 2023 due to complications of a heart attack.) “I see the obsession and compulsion and addiction in myself and him too,” Rapinoe — who spent most of her career playing for Seattle Reign FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the United States national team before her retirement in 2023 — said while discussing with Wambach what their soccer careers have cost them in life. Rapinoe continued, “And it's like you're searching for something. And I just was thinking so much while I was home, like, ‘Wow, I can't even remember the last time I was home for this long, not for a holiday or, you know, a wedding or something.’” Wambach, who played for the U.S. women’s national team from 2003 to 2015, agreed that soccer caused her to miss some important life events. “I think it gave me more than it cost me. So I just want to be clear on that. I do think it cost me relationships, and not like romantic ones, just like being able to relate to people because I was gone so often,” the New York native shared. “I had to miss one of my brother's weddings, which feels like one of the bigger regrets because of soccer. It cost me time, development.” While this was Rapinoe’s first time publicly talking about Michael’s death, the athlete previously opened up about her brother Brian’s struggles with drug addiction. Rapinoe has five siblings, including fraternal twin Rachael, half-siblings Michael and Jenny, older brother Brian and another sister. Brian was arrested for meth possession at age 15 and spent years in and out of the prison system before focusing on his sobriety. "For whatever reason, the drugs sunk their teeth into Brian. He didn't need federal prison; he needed drug rehab,” Rapinoe told People in 2020. In her memoir, One Life, Rapinoe wrote, "This is the truth about having a drug user in the family: the feeling of devastation never goes away." Rapinoe revealed her brother’s death two months after she and her now-ex and former podcast cohost, Sue Bird, announced their split after 10 years together. “There really is no smooth or easy way to share this news,” the pair wrote via social media in April. “After a lot of thought, we’ve made the decision to separate as a couple. This hasn’t been an easy decision, but it’s one we’ve made together, with so much love, respect and care for each other. We’ve shared a whole life over the last decade, through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we’ll always carry with us.” The statement continued, “We’re so grateful to this incredible community that has held us up, welcomed us in, and supported us exactly as we are. So many of you have reminded us, again and again, why loving out loud matters.” If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Hollywood Honors David Beckham: The Moment That Moved Everyone New

Hollywood Honors David Beckham: The Moment That Moved Everyone

He’s so Hollywood. David Beckham — widely regarded as one of the most accomplished soccer players of his generation — received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, with wife Victoria Beckham and close pal Tom Cruise serving as guest speakers.Cruise, a fellow Walk of Famer, spoke first, highlighting his friend’s impressive career.“Long before the trophies, the sold-out stadiums, the global fame, the recognition, there was a young boy with a dream — and the determination and discipline to earn everything that followed,” the actor, who looked dapper in a plum suit, said at the podium.Soccer legend David Beckham received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday.

A boy who believed in something bigger than himself, had to work for every opportunity he received and went on to influence his sport, shape culture around the world and create opportunities for generations who followed.“And for all the records, achievements and recognition, the thing that has impressed me most is that success has never changed who he is. The same core values that got him there are the ones he lives by today.”After shouting out Victoria and the “beautiful family” the couple created, Cruise, 63, concluded, “You earned this, and nobody — and I mean nobody — deserves it more, my friend.”Victoria and David also posed for pictures with Tom Cruise, who spoke during the ceremony. John Salangsang/ShutterstockVictoria served as a guest speaker as well. REUTERSVictoria — who stunned in a pewter, figure-hugging wrap dress — began her speech with a joke.“Growing up in England, the Hollywood Walk of Fame was one of those iconic things that you only saw in films — a way of immortalizing people who had succeeded in their fields and truly left their mark. So naturally, I assumed I was coming here today to receive my star for my part in that iconic cult classic ‘Spice World: The Movie.'”Victoria (aka Posh Spice) went on to praise her husband’s “vision,” “determination” and “extraordinary amount of hard work,” as he undeniably helped elevate the global popularity of soccer through both his on-field success and international influence.Cruise and David have been pals for decades.

His drive, his determination and his ambition are known to everyone, but I’d also like to acknowledge his kindness, his loyalty and his commitment to the people that he loves,” the pop star-turned-fashion designer, 52, gushed.When it was David’s turn to take the podium, he called Cruise “the greatest movie star of our time” and revealed, “The fact that mine and Victoria’s first movie date was ‘Jerry Maguire’ is a pretty mad full-circle moment.” (The famous film, which stars Cruise, hit theaters in December 1996.)David — who went with a crisp navy suit for the momentous occasion — also thanked the Oscar winner for “welcom[ing]” him and Victoria to Los Angeles nearly 20 years ago and being a “loyal friend” to them ever since.Cruise, Victoria and David were photographed arriving together.

AP Photo/Chris Pizzello“Most of all,” he continued, “I want to thank my incredible family, my parents and my sisters, who always supported my dreams. Victoria, my amazing wife for almost 30 years, without whom none of this would be possible or enjoyable.”David then gave “all [his] beautiful children” — sons Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, as well as daughter Harper, 14 — the biggest shout-out of all, noting that they are the “reason” he gets out of bed in the morning.“Kids, I hope you bring my grandchildren here one day and tell them about a boy who dreamed big,” he concluded. “To make you all proud is my greatest achievement. I am so grateful for you all. I love you.”Cruise sat on one side of David, while Victoria sat on the other. Matt Baron/BEI/ShutterstockVictoria was dressed in a pewter, figure-hugging wrap dress.

They notably did not attend David’s 50th birthday celebration in London last May.In an interview with Variety ahead of Friday’s ceremony, David shut down a question about the “strife” among the Beckham clan.“To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter,” he replied. “That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.”At the beginning of the wide-ranging sit-down, David spoke about the honor of receiving his Hollywood Walk of Fame star.The scene was mayhem.“I actually can’t believe it,” he told the outlet. “I remember walking in Hollywood and looking for the stars, and all these years later, knowing that I’ll have my own star, it’s a huge honor. America has always meant so much to me.”The English athlete explained that “all he cared about” growing up was becoming a successful soccer player, insisting he “didn’t care about the fame, the wealth, all the admiration” that came with it.“So now, having a star, becoming a ‘sir,’ all these things that have come with the career that I’ve had, I feel very lucky,” he added in reference to being knighted by King Charles III last year.Eva Longoria was also present for the momentous occasion, as she’s a longtime friend of the Beckhams.

John Salangsang/ShutterstockElsewhere in the conversation, David claimed he’s “never really had any offers” to act in Hollywood, though he noted he prefers to “stay in [his] lane.”The father of four also shared that he’s been pushing Victoria to perform again with the rest of the Spice Girls, who reportedly canceled their planned 30th anniversary reunion in March.“I think they’re all doing their own thing and are busy,” David said, “but I’m always hoping for the girls to get back together and perform at some point.”

Kroger's Bold Move: What This New Gas Deal Means for You New

Kroger's Bold Move: What This New Gas Deal Means for You

It seems like Kroger is adding a little fuel to the summer fire.The grocery giant has announced a warm-weather promotion that lets shoppers save up to $35 on their next gas fill-up, turning trips to the supermarket into rewards and fuel-saving hacks.The summer series, which runs Fridays from now through July 24, is designed to help customers stretch their budgets and save more on gas while shopping for everyday essentials by earning 4X fuel rewards.Some customers were quick to point out some similarities between Kroger’s new fuel strategy and that of Costco, which, despite lower fuel prices, limits pumps to executive and gold membership tiers that come with higher price tags than regular Costco memberships, according to The Street.Kroger is hoping to lure customers in with a new rewards program that helps them earn 4X points on fuel this summer. Bloomberg via Getty Images“At Kroger, we’re focused on helping customers maximize value every time they shop,” said Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, in a press release. “With Fuel Points, customers can earn rewards on the groceries they already buy,” adding that this will help families stick to their budget at a time when many families are feeling the pressure of every added cost.A recent AAA survey found that 75% of Americans felt the national average of $4 per gallon was a tipping point for costs. Of the respondents, over half would change their driving habits or lifestyle if prices continued to increase.Despite gas prices rising and many West Coast states already at $5 per gallon, much of the data suggests it isn’t affecting summer travel, with most Americans still planning a vacation or a great American road trip.Customers have been quick to point out the similarities between Kroger’s savings and Costco’s. USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectWhile Kroger has a massive size advantage over Costco, operating more than 1,700 gas stations compared to the big-box store’s 737, according to company reports, RTMNexus CEO Dominick Miserandino thinks that Costco’s fuel-saving strategies will outperform Kroger’s, in part because the grocery chain has made the process too many steps.  “Costco wins because its value proposition is completely frictionless: you show your card, and you get the lowest price in town immediately,” he predicted. “Kroger’s model requires digital coupon clipping, tracking specific calendar windows like ‘4X Fridays,’ and monitoring point balances. In a tight economy, convenience-fatigued consumers eventually reject complex loyalty gamification,” he said.And consumers seemed to agree with this sentiment.“U have to clip digital coupons and take advantage of 4x points per dollar spent on items and redeem points for gas … and save up to 35 per purchase … lots of hassle … hard pass … ur welcome,” wrote one user on Facebook.Some even questioned the Friday-only rewards model and compared it negatively to other stores where items can be out of stock.“They already do this every Friday so what’s different? I hate shopping at Fred Meyer on Friday because everything I want is out of stock so it’s pointless,” said another.More families are watching their spending, and it appears the grocery store is playing into their concerns. Houston Chronicle via Getty ImagesWhile some disputed the price, even alleging that Kroger increases its gas costs so that, with the savings, it reaches equilibrium, others judged solely on quality.“Costco has top-tier gas, Kroger does not, you never know the quality of fuel at Kroger. With smaller turbo engines becoming the norm, that will hurt your motor much quicker,” said another unimpressed consumer.Love it or hate it, Kroger’s latest promotion underscores a growing retail trend: using the gas pump to drive grocery sales at a time when Americans are looking for any way to cut the cost of getting from point A to point B.For cash-strapped consumers, every cent counts. The real question is whether shoppers are willing to jump through a few extra hoops to save at the pump.

Emily Ratajkowski's Unfiltered Revelations About the Men She's Dated Post-Divorce

Emily Ratajkowski got candid about the men she has hooked up with since her 2022 divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard.In a raw essay for the Cut published Friday, the model revealed she went on a hookup “mania,” writing that she “decided to f–k my way into a new kind of woman.”Ratajkowski explored with a flurry of different suitors, coming to the conclusion that “men raised in New York are uniquely disturbed characters from man hell.”She detailed her time with a DJ who allegedly told her “incest runs in” his family. “There was Vegan Graffiti Artist with impeccable posture,” Ratajkowski continued. “Chef who thought he might have chlamydia, Spanish Gen-Zer who couldn’t stop sending me nudes, heavily self-medicated Son of a Billionaire with questionable politics, several Italians, and, of course, another DJ.”Emily Ratajkowski (pictured here on Friday) revealed she went on a hookup “mania” following her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard. emrata/InstagramIn an essay for the Cut, the model said that while on a date with a DJ, he allegedly told her “incest runs in” his family. emrata/InstagramShe also nicknamed one mystery man “Elder Millennial” and alleged he was “obsessed with dental hygiene, psychedelics, and dirty talk.”Ratajkowski insisted this was new territory for her.“Before my separation, I’d never had a one-night stand. I’d never slept with someone the same day I met them. In fact, I’d only slept with eight people: four of whom had been live-in boyfriends, and one of whom was my male best friend in high school,” she explained.Ratajkowski added that she learned “two things” while dating post-separation.The first was that men were “turned on” by the actress having a child — son Sly, now 5 — while the second was that the more Ratajkowski pushed men away, the more they needed her.The author, who was married to Bear-McClard (pictured here in 2020), added that there was also a chef “who thought he might have chlamydia.” WireImageWhile single after the split, the activist (pictured here in 2025) took on the persona of a “supervillain” like Poison Ivy or Catwoman. emrata/InstagramDespite not being into Elder Millennial, the mom of one continued to see him.“I’d seen a tweet about ‘doing it for the plot’ that I’d begun to repeat a bit too often in those days, as if it were a mantra,” she confessed. However, Ratajkowski “wasn’t getting off on the sex” because she was “too preoccupied” with taking care of Sly.She decided to call it quits with her hookup era.Elsewhere in the essay, Ratajkowski opened up about the demise of her marriage.Ratajkowski (pictured here on Friday) expressed she “decided to f–k my way into a new kind of woman.” emrata/InstagramDuring her time hooking up with different men, the entrepreneur learned that guys weren’t turned off by the fact she has a son, Sly (pictured here). emrata/InstagramThe entrepreneur revealed that she and Bear-McClard, 45, stopped having sex after their son was born.Ratajkowski explained that in the period after welcoming Sly in March 2021, her “marriage collapsed” in a way that “felt both instant and excruciatingly slow.”“Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex,” the activist elaborated. “Less than a year later, we separated.”Ratajkowski said “leaving” her marriage was “a hard choice that came with a lot of pain and at a great cost.”The podcaster (pictured here with her ex in 2020) decided to end her hookup phase since she “wasn’t getting off on the sex” because she was “too preoccupied” with being a mom. Getty Images for FanaticsThe mom of one split from the filmmaker in July 2022 before filing for divorce in September of that year. emrata/InstagramDespite being a single mom changing the way people viewed her, the writer was finally able to see herself in a new light.“I wasn’t left; I left. I knew then that being able to leave, to say ‘no,’ was the only real superpower I’d gained through divorce. I was brave. Really, actually brave,” Ratajkowski mused.Page Six revealed the podcaster split from Bear-McClard in July 2022 after nearly five years of marriage.An insider claimed the producer (pictured here with Ratajkowski in 2019) had cheated on his partner and “was a dog.” GC ImagesIn 2023, a Variety exposé accused Bear-McClard (pictured here with his ex and son in 2022) of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior with teenage girls. GC ImagesAt the time, an insider claimed the filmmaker was allegedly unfaithful to Ratajkowski.“He’s a serial cheater,” the source said. “It’s gross. He’s a dog.”Ratajkowski filed for divorce in September 2022. Just one year later, in 2023, Bear-McClard was accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior with teenage girls in a Variety exposé.The producer did not address the allegations.

And Kristy was with her boyfriend at the time, but Lloyd was married and his wife was 8 months pregnant back in Canada.”She recalled a story that occurred during the filming of the show, revealing that Swanson and Eisler were nearly caught in the act by the actress’ star’s then-boyfriend.Lloyd Eisler allegedly jumped out of a second-story window to before Kristy Swanson’s then-boyfriend could catch them having an affair in the mid-2000s. (Eisler and Swanson pictured above on “Skating With Celebrities.”) FilmMagicEisler and Swanson (seen above in 2010) were nearly caught together, their “Skating With Celebrities” competitor Jillian Barberie claimed in a recent podcast. FilmMagic“The boyfriend pretended he was in San Diego, but he was actually in Hollywood. [He] called Kristy, she was with Lloyd in bed,” Barberie recalled, noting that Swanson’s boyfriend was actually downstairs when he called. “[The building] knew he had stayed with her, so they gave him a card to get in.”Barberie said the boyfriend put the card in the door to unlock it, but Swanson had flipped the extra lock.“[Kristy’s boyfriend] hears all the rustling. They’re on the second floor. Lloyd jumps out of the window and lands on a car,” Barberie added.Although the news of the affair was highly publicized in 2006, the drastic measure Eisler took to avoid being caught by Swanson’s then-boyfriend is a new twist to the story.Representatives for Swanson and Eisler did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.Eisler (seen above with skating partner Isabelle Brasseur) was a two-time Olympic bronze medalist prior to the reality competition show.

It was obvious they were together,” a show source previously told People.O’Brien confronted Eisler about his infidelity, and he moved out of their home in November 2005. Eisler wasted no time, openly dating Swanson shortly after leaving his wife and having a child with Swanson just one year later.Eisler and Swanson tied the knot in 2009 and are still together today.

Switzerland's Controversial Move: What Happens If the Population Hits 10 Million? New

Switzerland's Controversial Move: What Happens If the Population Hits 10 Million?

A right-leaning political party in Switzerland has proposed to limit the population of the wealthy European nation to 10 million until 2050, including foreign nationals and native-born residents.The proposal, put forth by the Swiss People’s Party (SVP), will be voted on by Swiss nationals age 18 and older this Sunday, and the latest polling suggests the results will be close as many residents have grown frustrated by surging costs of living amid a yearslong push to attract skilled foreign workers to the country. Swiss nationals are set to vote on a proposal that would cap the population, currently at 9.1 million, at no more than 10 million until 2050. Bloomberg via Getty ImagesSince 2000, the foreign-born population of Switzerland has increased from about one in five residents to one in three — compared to one in six in the US, according to the Wall Street Journal.The pronounced demographic shift is due in large part to Finance Minister Heinz Tännler’s multi-year effort to encourage highly skilled immigrants to take up residence in the mountainous nation, whose population currently stands at 9.1 million.If passed, SVP’s “No to a 10 million Switzerland” proposal would take effect in phases.Once the population hits 9.5 million, the government would restrict family unifications for immigrant residents and new asylum seekers, according to the outlet.If it reaches the 10 million mark, Bern, Switzerland’s de facto capital city, would be constitutionally bound to renounce its free-movement agreement with the European Union, which allows EU citizens to live, work and purchase property in Switzerland provided they meet certain income or financial independence requirements. Since 2000, the foreign-born population of Switzerland has increased from about one in five residents to one in three — compared to one in six in the US, according to the Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg via Getty ImagesWestern politicians have long lauded the benefits of mass immigration, selling it as a panacea to address everything from labor shortages to slumping productivity growth.However, the influx of foreign-born newcomers has come with unanticipated effects like increased housing costs and putting a strain on social service resources.Opponents of the proposal argue that instituting a population cap could harm the Swiss economy — which is highly dependent on international trade — create uncertain conditions for businesses and exacerbate existing labor shortfalls.Switzerland narrowly passed a 2014 vote that was meant to implement quotas on foreign-born residents, but it never fully took effect as the Swiss parliament found a loophole in order to preserve ties with the EU, according to the Journal.

Spencer Pratt's Bold Promise: The Fight Against L.A.'s 'Corrupt Machine' Begins New

Spencer Pratt's Bold Promise: The Fight Against L.A.'s 'Corrupt Machine' Begins

Spencer Pratt may be out of the running for mayor of Los Angeles but he’s not done fighting those in power who he claims are “corrupt.” “Now that the campaign portion of my mission of ‘Save Los Angeles’ is coming to a close and I’m moving on to the next more interesting phase,” Pratt, 42, began his Friday, June 12, social media video message titled, “Save LA — Phase III.” As gospel music played in the background, Pratt admitted, “I’ve spent a lot of time slaying everybody. I’ve ridiculed everyone on the roster.” Pratt appeared to be queuing up for an apology to his opponents Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman and Mayor Karen Bass, who are both on the ballot for the November election, before filming the script completely. “I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I’d like to take the chance to apologize to …,” Pratt said before a viral clip of UFC fighter Conor McGregor screaming, “Absolutely nobody” was inserted into his video. The music then took a dramatic turn as well, as Pratt vowed that losing the June election will not stop him from fighting back for his fellow Angelenos. “You think you can get rid of me that easily?” Pratt asked. "Hey morons, I didn’t get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine and nothing’s changed.” The Hills alum was fired up as he claimed, “I’m going to be lighting you up every single day and now I don’t have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don’t have a campaign loss hamstringing me now.” “It’s war,” Pratt declared, calling it “zero hour” for the city of Los Angeles. He alleged that with him out of the running for mayor, “Angelenos are now stuck with two morons responsible for all their problems and they have to choose between dumb and dumber,” referring to Bass, 72, and Raman, 44. “That’s not a choice. That’s the machine, protecting the machine,” he quipped, claiming that all the problems that "plague" L.A. “because of these corrupt communists is going to accelerate.” Pratt warned, “The city will tumble head long into the abyss,” alleging that developers, restaurateurs, business moguls and more prominent figures in L.A. were “texting him” and saying, “They’re packing up and leaving town.” “More of your favorite restaurants will be shuttering. That means less tax revenue. That means the city has to cut services,” Pratt threatened. “More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities. You have no idea how bad things are about to get for this city.” Pratt further claimed, “This city is a mess and you’re about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction.” He said his “goal hasn’t changed” and he “will stop” the alleged corruption, claiming that he has dirt on one of the mayoral candidates. “We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that will make her resign in shame,” Pratt claimed, noting that Bass and Raman should be worried about what’s coming. Pratt continued, “Angelenos have been struggling for years now all while corrupt politicians and fraudulent NGOs profit off the misery and fleece us for the tax dollars. Well now, we’re flipping the script.” He told his former rivals, “I want all of you awake at night sweating,” claiming that an awakening is headed their way. “You think your election was going to stop me? If you want to stop me …” Pratt concluded his message, before a clip of Julia Garner from Ozark was spliced in with her yelling, “You’re going to have to f***ing kill me!” Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for Bass and Raman for comment. Pratt’s eye-brow raising video comes after he announced earlier this year that he was running for L.A. mayor after his and wife Heidi Montag’s home in the Pacific Palisades was destroyed in the January 2025 California wildfires. “The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said while revealing his campaign during the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.” During his campaign, Pratt claimed that if he lost he would leave L.A. with Montag, 39, and their two sons. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case. News broke on June 7 that Raman beat out Pratt behind incumbent Bass for the second spot in November’s mayoral election after polls closed on June 2. Pratt broke his silence over the results on Thursday, June 11, writing via X, “Are they done counting yet?”

Harper Beckham's Heartfelt Visit Ends in Unexpected Twist New

Harper Beckham's Heartfelt Visit Ends in Unexpected Twist

Harper Beckham made an emotional attempt to visit her estranged brother Brooklyn Beckham’s Los Angeles home on Friday — sadly, with no luck.The 14-year-old daughter of Victoria and David Beckham was spotted arriving at her eldest sibling’s residence in an SUV. Photos exclusively obtained by Page Six showed her approaching the Beverly Hills, California, home around 2 p.m. PT, shortly after celebrating her dad’s star-studded Walk of Fame ceremony in Hollywood.Harper appeared to show up at her brother’s residence unannounced and left seconds later without seeing him, as a source confirmed to Page Six that neither Brooklyn nor his wife, Nicola Peltz, were home at the time. The couple is believed to be out of town.The teenager was still wearing the same pink midi-dress and sweater she wore to David’s Hollywood Walk of Fame event, which kicked off at 10 a.m. PT in Hollywood. The entire family was there to support the soccer star as he was honored with the prestigious accolade — with the exception of Brooklyn and Nicola, which Page Six exclusively reported.Harper Beckham was spotted outside her estranged brother Brooklyn Beckham’s home in Beverly Hills, California, on Friday, as pictured here in photos exclusively obtained by Page Six. London Entertainment for CA PostHarper appeared to show up at Brooklyn’s residence unannounced in a desperate attempt to heal the family’s public rift. London Entertainment for CA PostHarper was there briefly, as a source confirmed to Page Six that neither Brooklyn nor his wife Nicola Peltz were home. The couple is believed to be out of town. London Entertainment for CA PostPage Six has reached out to reps for Brooklyn, David and Victoria for comment.Harper’s attempt to connect with her estranged sibling comes five months after Brooklyn took to social media with a bombshell statement slamming his parents — most notably, his mother, alleging she hijacked his first dance with Nicola at their 2022 wedding and “controlled narratives in the press” about the famous family.The 27-year-old chef bluntly said, “I do not want to reconcile with my family.”Harper wore the same pink dress she wore earlier to David’s Walk of Fame ceremony, as seen above. Matt Baron/BEI/ShutterstockBrooklyn, seen above with Harper in a throwback photo, snubbed his father’s milestone ceremony. victoriabeckham/Instagram“I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he continued. “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family [with] performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships. … Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”Insisting that “the truth always comes out,” Brookyn claimed that Victoria, 52, and David, 51, “have been trying endlessly to ruin [his] relationship” with Peltz, 31 — prior to them walking down the aisle in a lavish Florida ceremony four years ago. Brooklyn claimed the efforts “haven’t stopped” since then. “My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress,” he wrote. Brothers Cruz and Romeo were there to celebrate their father’s achievement along with David and Victoria. John Salangsang/ShutterstockBrooklyn blasted his parents in a bombshell statement in January. He’s pictured here earlier this month. Getty Images for Tribeca FestivalThe photographer also accused his parents of “repeatedly pressur[ing] and attempt[ing] to bribe” him into “signing away the rights to” his name before his wedding celebration and alleged that “members of [his] family” told him that his bride- to-be was “not family” and “not blood.” Brooklyn wrote that after his “holdout,” his parents have “have never treated me the same since.”Most memorably, Beckham wrote that “In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me.”He added of the alleged moment, “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everybody. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”The chef accused his family of “endlessly” trying to “ruin” his relationship with Nicola Peltz. Harper, Brooklyn, and Peltz are pictured here in 2024. WWD via Getty ImagesHe also accused his parents of “controlling the narrative” surrounding the family. Both couples are seen above in a prior social media upload. Brooklyn Beckham/InstagramBrooklyn concluded the statement by defending his wife and writing that the couple does “not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”Since then, relations in the family seemed to have come to a standstill, with Brooklyn directing his family to only contact him through an attorney. As for Brooklyn’s apparent Walk of Fame snub, a source told Page Six earlier this month that it would never have happened. “Even if he did want to see them at the Walk of Fame, Nicola would not take too kindly to it,” the insider told Page Six.Another source said, “Two things can be true; Nicola can be difficult and Brooklyn does not want to see his parents.”“Even though Brooklyn has made it clear he doesn’t want to see his parents, the rest of his family misses him desperately,” a source previously told Page Six of the ongoing feud.
