Gordon Ramsay is sending a powerful message to Brooklyn Beckham amid his family feud.
The celebrity chef, who is a longtime friend of David and Victoria Beckham, weighed in on the tension Brooklyn and his family are facing during an interview with The Sun published on Friday, February 13.
“We’re dear friends and have been for two and half decades. Their relationship with Brooklyn is, it was, solid. I’ve seen and [wife] Tana’s seen firsthand just how good of parents they are. And David as a dad is just incredible,” Ramsay, 59, said.
Ramsay acknowledged that the family dynamic appeared to have shifted when Brooklyn, 26, fell in love with Nicola Peltz Beckham, 31, and married her in April 2022.
“It’s hard when you enter that age in life when you join with another family. There’s a different dynamic going on and so there was bound to be some form of clash,” Ramsay told the outlet. “But the relationship with David and Brooklyn is very, very deep and I know how much David loves Brooklyn and I think it’s only going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what they mean.”
The Hell’s Kitchen star said he believed Brooklyn and his parents will eventually patch things up and pointed out how much support David, 50, and Victoria, 51, had provided their son over the years.
“It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster isn’t it, and get carried away but it will come back because I know. I know how many times they’ve pulled him out of the sh*t,” Ramsay continued. “I know how many times they’ve absolutely stood by him through thick and thin.”
He added, “David’s an amazing dad and he will absolutely get that back online. Time. Time’s going to be the best healer.”

Ramsay said that he’s still in touch with Brooklyn and has a lot of respect for the Cloud23 founder. However, Ramsay hoped the “penny would drop” with Brooklyn soon and that he would bury the hatchet with his family and “remember where you came from.”
“We’ve messaged a little bit, it’s a very difficult situation. I love him. His heart is incredible. But it’s hard isn’t it, when I think you’re infatuated. Love is blind. They say it for a reason,” Ramsay said. “You know, he’s desperate to stand on his own two feet, he’s desperate to forge his own way and I respect that for Brooklyn. That’s such a good thing to do. But remember where you came from and honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mom and dad. And you need to understand that.”
Ramsay went on again to emphasize how much love there was for Brooklyn from his parents despite the public feud.
“I know, 24/7, seven days a week just how much David loves Brooklyn and that penny will drop with him,” Ramsay added.
Brooklyn Beckham spoke out directly for the first time about the months-long feud that has fractured his famous family. Beckham, 26, addressed the drama within his family — which has left him estranged from his parents, David and Victoria, and his younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz — while competing in the Ryder Cup Celebrity All-Star […]
Ramsay also touched on claims Brooklyn made in January via a scathing Instagram statement, where he alleged Victoria danced “inappropriately” with her son at his wedding to Nicola.
“Whilst Victoria is upset, and [has] every right to be upset… we were there at the wedding. There was nothing salacious, nothing inappropriate, everyone was having fun,” Ramsay said.
When asked about the memes that circulated mocking the dancing claims, Ramsay said he hadn’t seen them but had a message for Brooklyn.
“Victoria’s got a great sense of humor. She can bat that sh*t away in a heartbeat,” he responded. “I just want Brooklyn to just a moment to yourself and just remember, you’re half mom and half dad and you’re an amazing man but boy, they’ve done more for you than anyone will do in your entire life. [Including] any father-in-law, let me tell you.”
