In a desperate effort to end the bitter family feud, fashion maven Victoria Beckham is tossing estranged son Brooklyn some olive branches, but insiders tell the National Enquirer her still-furious daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz, ordered her hubby to stay loyal to her — or else.
“Victoria’s desperate to have this mess cleared up before the holiday season kicks in and would gladly fly out to America if he’d agree to a meeting,” says an insider.

Previously known as Posh Spice when she was with the Spice Girls band, Victoria is trying to lure her 26-year-old baby boy back into the fold by ordering that his scenes not be cut from her upcoming Netflix documentary that follows her as she expands her business empire.
Sources say the 51-year-old designing mom, wed to Brooklyn’s dad, retired soccer god David Beckham, hopes that will convince her kid she’s willing to let bygones be bygones. But a source close to Brooklyn says he has no interest in being a part of the documentary and would rather see a legitimate effort by members of his family to heal the rift between them.

Mother and son have been estranged since May from tensions that began boiling over during Brooklyn’s wedding to heiress and Bates Motel actress Nicola, 30, in April 2022.
Victoria was said to be fuming after Nicola chose another designer to create her wedding gown after the retired Spice Girl had poured time and money into making a dress for the bride.
“But Victoria is ready to put the past behind them and is sorry that it got so nasty and out of control,” says an insider. “She’s convinced she’ll get more with honey than vinegar at this point, and figures Brooklyn must be sick of being controlled by Nicola and isolated from his family.”

A second insider shared, “Nicola has given Brooklyn the space to make the decision that feels right for him. What’s most important to Brooklyn is that his wife is treated with the same respect he shows his family, that’s all he’s ever wanted.”
Adds the first insider, “It’s putting Brooklyn in an impossible situation, as he’s being forced to make a choice between his mother and his wife.”
