After years of speculation about a family feud, the 26-year-old broke his silence Monday saying, "I do not want to reconcile with my family," claiming his parents have controlled him for years.

Brooklyn also wrote that the family "consistently disrespected" his wife.

In a recent Netflix docuseries, the pair discussed their careers and starting a family.

"The moment he came out, I all of a sudden thought, 'How am I gonna protect him? What am I gonna do to protect him?'" Beckham expressed.
