Gordon Ramsay has doubled down on his support for Sir David Beckham amid the former footballer’s ongoing feud with his estranged son Brooklyn.
Earlier this year, the Cloud23 hot sauce founder made allegations about his famous family, claiming they shared ‘performative social media posts’ and tried to ‘bribe him’ to sign his name away.
He also alleged that his mother, Victoria Beckham, was involved in ‘controlling narratives in the press’ about his family and inflating ‘inauthentic relationships’.
Ramsay, 59, who has been a friend of the Beckham dynasty for some time, said earlier this year that the situation must have been ‘very difficult’ for the former Manchester United footballer and his wife to deal with.

“Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible,” the Hell’s Kitchen favourite said at the time.
“But it’s hard, isn’t it, when you’re infatuated? Love is blind. It’s easy to get up on that rollercoaster and get carried away. But it will come back.”
During an episode of Good Day New York in the United States, Ramsay further discussed his intimate relationship with the Beckhams.
"We've been mates for the last two and a half decades, the kids grew up together,” he said.
"As you know, in this ever-changing moment in their lives, kids need help, we're there for all of them – that's most important.”
As a result of Ramsay telling The Sun in February that it was only a ‘matter of time’ before Brooklyn took a ‘good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him’, the ex-photographer allegedly unfollowed him on social media.
FOODbible previously contacted Brooklyn Beckham for comment.
Ramsay’s support for the Beckham clan comes amid the reveal of Victoria’s nutritionist-approved ‘biblical’ breakfast staple.
The dish in question is a piece of Organic Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Wholegrain Bread with smashed avocado.
According to a 2019 interview, the fashion designer, 52, eats between three and four avocados every day to enhance her skin’s natural glow.
Registered nutritionist Charlotte Faure Green hailed the mother-of-four’s avocado on toast breakfast as ‘nutritionally solid’ but claimed it may leave her feeling ‘peckish’.
“Avocado delivers monounsaturated fats, fibre, potassium, folate and vitamins E and K, while the olive oil adds anti-inflammatory compounds alongside more healthy fats,” the expert told Hello! Magazine.
"Sprouted grain bread is worth choosing over standard options because the sprouting process breaks down phytic acid, an antinutrient that would otherwise limit how well the body absorbs minerals like zinc, iron and magnesium.
She added that protein sources, such as eggs or pumpkin seeds with lemon juice, should be added to bulk out the dish.
