David and Victoria Beckham are prepared to welcome their son, Brooklyn, back into their lives anytime he wants to reunite with them, a source says.
Following Brooklyn's bombshell Instagram post slamming his parents on Jan. 19 — detailing what he claims is an ongoing attempt by his parents to sabotage his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham in the name of publicity — a source tells PEOPLE that the couple does not want to lose their son and would accept him back into their lives whenever he wants to form a relationship again.
"They are afraid of losing their son and would take him back in a minute," says the source. "They are a close family, too. Just in a different way than Nicola's family is."
According to the source, the Beckhams — who are also parents to sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14 — were extremely upset after his Instagram post.
"They love Brooklyn and are horrified about everything," the source says.
Reps for David and Victoria did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on the situation.

A second insider tells PEOPLE the Beckhams are hopeful that this strain between them will eventually end.
"David and Victoria believe time will heal this," the source close the situation says. "They know over time that Brooklyn will come back. They can't really do anything until then."
The insider also gave more insight on the day to day communication between the young couple and David and Victoria.
"Brooklyn and Nicola do not speak with David or Victoria," the source says, adding that "they speak only through mediators."
In Brooklyn's Instagram post, which followed months of speculation about a rift between the couple and his parents, he accused them of trying to "ruin" his relationship with his wife.
"My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one," he wrote. He further alleged, "My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable."
"My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped," he claimed.

"My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song," Brooklyn, 26, added of his 2022 nuptials to Nicola.
"In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where the scheduled was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."
The couple tied the knot in front of their nearly 600 guests in April 2022 at the Peltz family's estate in Palm Beach, Fla.

Victoria and David have yet to respond to the accusations Brooklyn made on his Instagram Stories. However, David briefly discussed his children's social media use during an appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box the following day.
The former soccer star said that he tried to educate his kids on the power and danger of social media, but that it hasn't stopped them from making "mistakes."
"They make mistakes, but children are allowed to make mistakes," David continued. "That is how they learn. That is what I try to teach my kids. You sometimes have to let them make those mistakes as well."
Amid the family's ongoing rift, a source with knowledge of the situation told PEOPLE earlier this month, "David and Victoria have repeatedly asked Brooklyn and Nicola to meet and talk in order to move forward."
"David loves his kids," the insider added. "They are his everything."
