Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were notably missing from David’s 50th birthday bash in London last night, following reports of a rift between the chef and his family
Brooklyn skipped his famous dad David Beckham’s 50th birthday party with rumours of a rift in the family.
David celebrated his 50th birthday in style on Saturday (May 3), hiring out the fancy Core restaurant in Notting Hill for his loved ones. The footy legend and United ace has been celebrating the milestone birthday all week, and was spotted dancing with wife Victoria to Islands in the Stream.
In snaps that can be seen here, Becks partied it up with his Spice Girl wife and A-list stars such as Tom Cruise, Gordon Ramsay and Eva Longoria. However, one family member who was notably missing was his eldest son Brooklyn.
It’s believed the aspiring chef was reportedly in the UK with wife Nicola Peltz, but the couple were nowhere to be seen at his father’s birthday dinner party in London. It’s said David is “heartbroken” that Brooklyn didn’t attend the event and that he and Victoria had hoped he’d change his mind.
A source told The Sun: “David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it. Tonight is all about celebration and love, and he is swimming in it.
“Brooklyn actually informed his parents a while ago that he and his wife, Nicola, would not be attending but, of course, David and Victoria desperately hoped he would change his mind. Brooklyn is a really sweet boy and everyone loves him dearly. They just hope things can be patched up soon.
The source added: “In the mean time, everyone around David are doing all they can to give him a magical evening to remember.”
It’s believed Brooklyn and Nicola also failed to attend David’s other birthday celebrations at their £10 million Cotswolds home and in France, which saw the Beckham clan go wine tasting at a vineyard before having dinner at David’s favourite Parisian restaurant.
Brooklyn also didn’t wish his father a Happy Birthday on social media and was missing from a photo of one of David’s early birthday celebrations. However, David still showed love for Brooklyn in a birthday post shared on his social media.
In a sweet post full of throwback photos, the football legend said his kids were his ‘biggest accomplishment’ and that wife Victoria and his four children – Brooklyn, 26, Romeo 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper – were “the reason I get out of bed each day”.
He wrote: “As I reflect on this Birthday I’m very grateful for many things in my life the teams I’ve played for, my teammates, managers, the fans, MY COUNTRY and being England captain, the children I have met over different charities I work with, my team in my business & the friends I have around me I feel truly blessed. But my biggest accomplishment is and will always be my family.
He continued: “My mum and dad who sacrificed so much for me to live my dream of becoming a footballer, my sisters who had to put up with following their brother around in the freezing cold watching me play football and my amazing nan and grandad… My wife and best friend of 28 years and my beautiful children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz & Harper you are the reason I get out of bed each day.”
It’s reported things are so bad between Brooklyn and his family at the moment that Brooklyn – who didn’t attend mum Victoria’s birthday celebrations or contact her on Mother’s Day at the end of March – is no longer on speaking terms with the rest of the Beckham clan.
Brooklyn and Nicola had reportedly been invited to all David’s birthday celebrations. It was suggested there was tension over Romeo’s new girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24, who went out with Brooklyn when they were teenagers and is an ex-girlfriend of Rocco Ritchie, whose parents are Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
But it’s claimed the alleged feud is to do with Nicola and things haven’t been the same between Brooklyn and his family since they got together in 2019. A source told the Daily Mail: “This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola. All David and Victoria want is their son back – and they will be there to welcome him any time.”
The source continued: “It’s a terribly sad situation and it’s been going on for a long time. They adore Brooklyn, their children are everything to them, but Brooklyn isn’t talking to them.
“He isn’t talking to the family and David and Victoria are heartbroken. It’s now the end of the week and despite Brooklyn flying to London with Nicola with every intention of celebrating his dad’s 50th birthday with him, he hasn’t taken part in any of it.
“Weeks ago Brooklyn told them he would be there and they were expecting Nicola. Now David and Victoria have no idea what is going on. The French trip was to be the really special family time away but they didn’t go. Then, after days of leaving his parents on tenterhooks, he and Nicola didn’t go to Core either.”
In 2022, Nicola addressed rumours of a feud between her and Victoria, telling The Times: “It’s not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, ‘feud, feud, feud!? I mean, maybe they picked up on something? And now they’re labelling it feud?”
Nicola claimed that the feud rumours could have stemmed from the fact that she didn’t wear a dress designed by Posh Spice on her wedding day. She added: “I think it all started, and I’ve said this before, because I didn’t end up wearing Victoria’s wedding dress, but the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me! And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it.
“Truthfully, I was really excited to wear her dress. It makes me sad when I read things that people say I was never planning on wearing it. That’s just not true.” Last year, Victoria seemed to hint there was no drama as she wished her daughter-in-law a happy birthday.
A pal of the former Manchester United star said David is ‘the most kind, loyal and dedicated father who would do anything for Brooklyn’, so for this to happen on such a special birthday is ‘devastating’.
