Brooklyn Beckham has made a rare social media post about his family, as he shared a sweet tribute to his grandfather on his birthday amid his ongoing feud with his loved ones
Brooklyn Beckham has shared a family message online amid the continuing feud with his famous folks.
He reached out online with a heartfelt birthday message for his grandad, Ted. The budding chef took to Instagram Stories, posting a dapper photo of himself and his dad David Beckham’s father at a posh do, complete with a loving arm around Ted’s shoulder.
In the caption, Brooklyn expressed his affection, writing: “Happy birthday granddad. xx I love you,” accompanied by a pair of red heart emojis. Despite having overlooked the birthdays of several family members recently, Brooklyn made an exception for his youngest sibling, Harper Seven, celebrating her 14th birthday this month.
Harper, the cherished youngest in the Beckham brood, is adored by her parents and her elder brothers – Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20.
For Harper’s special day, Brooklyn shared a snap of him, his wife Nicola, and Harper on his stories, captioning it: “Happy Birthday Harper. We love you x.” Yet, he was noticeably absent from the actual festivities, reports the Mirror.
Earlier in the year, Brooklyn notably missed out on marking significant milestones for his parents – Victoria’s 51st and David’s 50th birthdays.
He also didn’t publicly acknowledge his dad’s prestigious inclusion in the King’s Birthday Honours List, where David was knighted. Insiders suggest Brooklyn isn’t quite ready to bury the hatchet with his family, with a source telling The Sun: “There is too much water under the bridge.”
Detailing the motivation behind Brooklyn posting the photograph with Harper, they continued: “Brooklyn and Harper were always incredibly close. He adores her and so does his wife Nicola. They have an incredibly close bond and despite everything that has gone on, Brooklyn idolises her.
“He wanted to put out a message on social media for her to show this bond still exists. He wanted this to be about Harper and he wanted to show people how much he and Nicola care about her. Just because they love Harper and want to show their affection, doesn’t mean they’re trying to make amends with the family.”
Brooklyn’s tribute to his grandfather follows reports that his godfather, Elton John, has been working behind the scenes to calm family tensions. The music icon, 78, recently welcomed him and wife Nicola for lunch in Cannes alongside husband David Furnish.
The meeting took place at the exclusive La Guerite beach club, where the group reportedly discussed the fractured family relationships.
“Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,” an insider revealed regarding the legendary performer’s mediation efforts. “He’s utterly neutral in this row.”
The insider revealed to The Sun: “Elton of old may have relished in taking sides – in this case his young godson, Brooklyn, but two years off his 80th birthday, he’s a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy. “There is no side-taking as such, he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour”.
“Sir Elton’s godfather duties are apparently taken very seriously by the music legend. “He wants to look after them in his role as ‘spiritual adviser’ as a godfather,” the source said.
The music icon and his husband reportedly find the row “terribly sad” and have reminded everyone that “life is short” whilst encouraging them to patch things up.
