David Beckham Shares Message to Brooklyn Beckham Amid Family Drama

by

David Beckham hasn’t sidelined his son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham amid rumored tension in their family.

Even though the famous soccer player didn’t share any pictures of Brooklyn in his recent Instagram year-in-review post, he still gave a small shout-out to the 26-year-old.

Shortly after posting a collection of photos featuring his sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14, David Beckham shared older, personal photos of each of his four children with wife Victoria on his Instagram Stories.

The 50-year-old shared a black-and-white portrait of Brooklyn and wrote a heartfelt message, saying, “I love you all so much.”

He continued under an image of himself with Harper, “I’m a very lucky Daddy.”

David shared a childhood photo of Cruz, showing him playfully wearing a fake mustache, along with a message expressing his love and gratitude for his family.

He added alongside a separate pic of a young Romeo, “I’m so lucky to have my Amazing family x.”

This feeling was similar to what David had said in his New Year’s Eve post, where he enthusiastically praised his “amazing” wife and children.

As I reflect on everything, I just want to say how grateful I am for everyone in my life. Seriously, none of it would be possible without you all! 2025 has been a year filled with incredible memories, and I’ll cherish them always. Sending all my love to Victoria and our amazing kids – you mean the world to me.

According to Cruz, the youngest Beckham son, the family hasn’t been getting along very well recently. Fans noticed that David and Victoria weren’t following Brooklyn’s Instagram, and Cruz believes Brooklyn blocked them all.

In a recent Instagram Story posted on December 20th, Cruz explained that his parents were blocked from seeing his account, and he was blocked from seeing theirs. He clarified, “My parents would never intentionally unfollow me.”

Rumors of a family disagreement intensified when Brooklyn Beckham chose to spend Christmas with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham’s parents, Nelson and Claudia Heffner Peltz.

Nicola, age 30, shared Christmas photos on Instagram on December 26th, wishing everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year. The photos showed her and Brooklyn with her parents in front of their Christmas tree, and she described the scene as being ‘filled with so much love, peace and happiness.’

In a recent Instagram post, Cruz explained that his parents woke up to find they had been blocked on social media – and so had he. He clarified, “My parents would never intentionally unfollow me. Let’s be clear about that.”

While not required, many people expected Nicola Peltz to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria Beckham when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. This expectation stemmed from the close family connection, and the wedding took place at the Peltz family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

So when she didn’t, going with Valentino Couture instead… Bad blood alert!

Nicola remained silent about the issue for months, but eventually clarified that there wasn’t any conflict over a dress. She did admit to being a little upset that she couldn’t wear a custom design by Victoria Beckham.

Nicola told Variety in August 2022 that she was initially planning to wear a dress by this designer and was excited about it. However, a few months later, the designer realized her workshop couldn’t fulfill the order, so Nicola had to choose a different dress. Nicola clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing the original dress, and she never expressed a lack of interest in it. The misunderstanding started there and was then exaggerated by others.

Brooklyn said she’s realized people will always attempt to be negative or critical, but thankfully, everyone on the team gets along well.

Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”

Victoria, who rarely speaks about gossip, finally described the Peltz-Beckham wedding as “beautiful.”

“Seeing my son so happy is incredibly rewarding,” she shared on TODAY that October. “You can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Tom Cruise and all four members of the Spice Girls attended Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party on April 20, 2024, though her daughter-in-law was unable to make it.

Nicola shared on Instagram that she was visiting her grandmother, who sadly passed away less than a month afterward.

Nicola shared a birthday message for Victoria Beckham on Instagram, saying she was sad to miss the celebration and sending lots of love from her and her nanny. She also posted a sweet message on Victoria’s actual birthday, April 17th, with a photo of them together, expressing her love and saying she loved being Victoria’s dance partner.

Naunni’s death deeply affected Nicola, and many others shared their grief. Brooklyn posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, remembering Naunni’s joyful spirit and ability to bring laughter to everyone around her. They expressed how much they missed her and would love her forever, and sadly reflected on the fact that their future children wouldn’t have the chance to know her. Brooklyn described Naunni as a truly special person who was missed every day.

In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing as the son of a famous footballer and a Spice Girl, describing his “crazy childhood” as a happy one.

He admitted things were busy, but said he had a lot of fun thanks to his amazing parents.

Brooklyn and Nicola spent some of the holidays with Nicola’s family, the Peltzes, and photos showed the entire Beckham family – David, Victoria, Brooklyn, and Nicola – happily together, making it clear there were no family tensions or past issues lingering.

Victoria shared a series of photos from her holiday gathering, writing, ‘Being with everyone for the holidays brings me so much joy. I love you all!’ She also tagged her children and daughter-in-law in the post.

Although there’s been no official explanation, Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of the photos David Beckham’s parents shared from his 50th birthday celebration with family and friends in London in May 2025.

I heard from a reliable source that instead of attending the Met Gala on May 5th, the couple actually flew to England! Apparently, they were really hoping to visit David and celebrate his birthday with him that week or over the weekend. It was a sweet gesture, and I’m glad they prioritized seeing him.

According to a source who spoke with People magazine, Brooklyn Beckham decided against going to David’s party because he didn’t want to encounter his brother Romeo’s girlfriend at the time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Turnbull had been increasingly present at family events, like the Victoria Beckham show during Paris Fashion Week in March 2025, ever since Romeo and she began dating publicly in November 2024.

When someone commented on Instagram wondering why Brooklyn Beckham missed his dad’s party, seemingly because he wanted to be with Kim, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, quickly replied that Brooklyn and Kim were never in a romantic relationship.

TopMob News reported in June 2025 that Romeo and Kim have split up, suggesting a possible reconnection between Romeo and his brother might be a good idea.

Adding to the wedding drama, the couple’s first dance didn’t go as planned, and it’s still unclear what exactly happened.

According to a source who spoke with TopMob News in May 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz expected Marc Anthony to perform their first dance. However, Anthony surprised everyone by announcing, “Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room—Victoria Beckham.” This left Brooklyn feeling unsure and put him in an uncomfortable position.

Additionally, the source said that Nicola left the room in tears, but she eventually returned and managed to compose herself to enjoy the rest of her wedding.

While the situation was upsetting, it didn’t stop David from being a best man at Marc’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, it’s easy to see why Nadia might have been more deeply affected by it.

According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola have genuinely tried to build a relationship with his family over the years, but currently, they are not on good terms.

In a May 2025 Instagram post, Brooklyn affectionately called Nicola his “whole world,” adding a heartfelt message: “I always choose you, baby. You’re the most amazing person I know, and we’re meant to be together forever.”

When accusations arise, those accused usually hire lawyers. The recent story about Nicola being upset at her wedding three years ago might be a sign of further issues to come.

After reports surfaced that Brooklyn and Nicola had hired a lawyer previously known for working with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a source confirmed to TopMob News that the couple do have legal representation, but it’s not to help manage their public image.

Instead, they’ve brought in Jenny Afi, a lawyer from the U.K. firm Schillings, to correct inaccuracies and fight the spread of false information.

Although the law firm represents the Sussexes – and had David and Victoria Beckham as wedding guests in 2018 – a source confirmed there’s no link between this situation and Meghan and Harry. The source emphasized that Schillings is a well-regarded firm that works with many different clients.

The source pointed out that this situation itself proved the value of having a lawyer – to correct false information and ensure the truth is known.

David received a knighthood in November 2025, but Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t say anything publicly about it. They also weren’t at the MLS Cup final in December 2025 when David’s team, Inter Miami CF, won—only Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper were there to celebrate.

In late December 2025, rumors spread that David and Victoria Beckham had blocked their son Brooklyn on Instagram. However, Cruz Beckham quickly dismissed these claims.

He denied the claims on Instagram Stories, stating, “My parents would never unfollow me.” He clarified that his parents and he were all blocked, meaning they didn’t unfollow each other, but were prevented from seeing each other’s accounts.

Brooklyn Beckham chose to celebrate Christmas with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham’s family, including her parents Claudia and Nelson Peltz, rather than joining his own family. His brother, Cruz Beckham, stayed home for the holidays with parents Victoria and David Beckham.

David Beckham recently shared a year-in-review, posting photos with family and friends from 2025. Notably absent from the pictures were his oldest son and daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz Beckham, fueling ongoing speculation about a family disagreement.
