Victoria Beckham shares family photos from David’s 50th birthday celebration, omitting Brooklyn Beckham, sparking speculation about a rift.
Victoria Beckham has sparked fresh speculation about her relationship with son Brooklyn Beckham, after apparently snubbing him in a social media post celebrating her husband David’s lavish 50th birthday. The fashion designer and former Spice Girl shared a series of images from the star-studded family event but notably omitted any mention of her eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
The Beckham family’s celebrations, which included a dinner at their £12 million Cotswolds mansion and an intimate gathering at a three Michelin-star restaurant in London, were attended by their three other children—Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper. Brooklyn and Nicola, however, were conspicuously absent from both events despite being in the UK during that week.
In her Instagram post, Victoria shared heartfelt photos from the birthday party, tagging her three children and writing, “Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all.” Notably, she did not include Brooklyn in the post, a departure from her usual practice of tagging him and expressing affection, such as “missing you @brooklynbeckham” on previous family occasions.
The absence of Brooklyn from Victoria’s post has only fueled speculation about the ongoing rift between the couple and their eldest son. Sources close to the family have reported that David and Victoria were “heartbroken” by Brooklyn’s decision to skip the celebrations and reportedly did not even receive a birthday wish from him.
This marks the latest development in what has been described as a “toxic rift” between the Beckhams and their son. The family tensions have been publicly apparent for some time, with Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from key events in the past further deepening the divide.
Brooklyn and Nicola, who recently relocated to the US, were also notably absent from David’s birthday celebrations in Paris the previous Friday. Neither Brooklyn nor Nicola shared any public tributes to David on social media for his milestone birthday, unlike the rest of the family.
Romeo, one of Brooklyn’s siblings, posted images of the celebrations on Instagram, featuring photos with David, Victoria, and their other siblings, but once again did not tag Brooklyn in the posts. This further suggests a growing distance between the once-close family members.
A source close to the Beckhams told The Sun, “David and Victoria are utterly heartbroken by the breakdown of communications. Brooklyn’s absence and lack of acknowledgment have left them devastated.”
Despite the ongoing family drama, David Beckham appeared to enjoy his 50th birthday celebrations with his closest family and friends. His parents, Sandra and Ted Beckham, were also present at the intimate gathering earlier in the week, adding to the sense of family solidarity.
It remains unclear what exactly has caused the friction between Brooklyn and his parents, but this latest social media incident has only added fuel to the ongoing speculation surrounding the Beckham family’s complicated dynamics.
