Gordon Ramsay has warned fellow chef Brooklyn Beckham to ‘take a moment for himself’ amid his reported feud with his parents, Sir David and Victoria Beckham.
In January, Brooklyn, 26, posted a series of allegations on his Instagram Stories, claiming he had no plans to ‘reconcile’ with his famous family, and that he wanted to ‘stand up’ for himself for the ‘first time’ in his life.
“For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,” he continued. “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
Among the explosive claims, the Cloud23 hot sauce maker said that his 51-year-old mum danced inappropriately at his and Nicola Peltz’s wedding, and that his parents tried to ‘bribe him’ to sign his name away.

The bombshell accusations were not refuted by David, 50, nor his fashion designer wife.
Instead, the Manchester United legend said: “You have to let your children make mistakes.”
Now, it appears that Gordon Ramsay, a family friend of the Beckhams, has weighed in on the controversy.
Ahead of the 59-year-old’s new Netflix docuseries, Being Gordon Ramsay, he spoke to The Sun, calling the situation between Brooklyn and the Bekham clan ‘very difficult’.
“Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible,” the Hell’s Kitchen favourite continued.
“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.”
Ramsay said it would only be a ‘matter of time’ until the former photographer ‘takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him’, adding that he was probably ‘desperate to forge his own way’ without his family.
“I respect that from him. It’s such a good thing to do.
“But remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that.”
The Kitchen Nightmares icon continued, claiming that the ‘penny will drop’ for David and Victoria’s eldest son.
“I just want Brooklyn to take a moment to himself. And remember: you’re half mum, half dad. And you’re an amazing young man.
“But, boy, they’ve done more for you than anyone did in your entire life,” he added.
According to various publications, it’s been reported that Brooklyn has since unfollowed Ramsay on Instagram.
The restaurateur continues to follow Brooklyn at this time, indicating that he hasn’t been blocked.
