David Beckham Says ‘Children Are Allowed To Make Mistakes’ Hours After Son Brooklyn’s Shocking Allegations

David Beckham is revealing that he encourages his children to “make mistakes,” noting that’s “how they learn,” hours after his and wife Victoria Beckham’s son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham posted shocking allegations online against their family. The former soccer star made the comments during a live appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Tuesday morning as he discussed how social media can impact youth mental health. “That’s what I try to teach my kids, but you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well,” he said in part. On Monday, Jan. 19, the eldest Beckham son took to Instagram to blast his parents, claiming in part that they have been “trying endlessly” to ruin his relationship with wife Nicola Beckham since “before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.” He also accused the couple of controlling “narratives in the press about our family” and ruining parts of his wedding. Victoria and David Beckham have not released a public statement as of publication on their son’s allegations. Access Hollywood has reached out to the couple for comment.
