David Beckham was recently subjected to taunts and derogatory nicknames due to his ongoing family conflict with estranged son Brooklyn.
Beckham, along with wife Victoria Beckham and their son Romeo, attended a sold-out show at The Courtyard Theatre in East London where Cruz Beckham performed. During the performance of Andrew Gold’s 1976 hit song ‘Loneliest Boy’, referencing the darkening feud with Brooklyn and his wife Nicole Peltz, David became overwhelmed.
An eyewitness told Radar Online that Victoria immediately put her arm around him as he tried to hold back tears. The insider revealed that since the family conflict escalated last year, Beckham has become extremely sensitive and finds himself breaking down easily.
Many close to Beckham have noticed that he is carrying a lot of sadness and struggling with the emotional distance from Brooklyn. His somber state has been mocked with nicknames like ‘Goldenbawls’, a play on his footballing moniker Goldenballs. The source explained that David’s pain lies in mourning a relationship that remains out of reach, making it incredibly difficult for him and Victoria, but particularly hard for David.
