David Beckham and Victoria Beckham are spreading the love.
Just two days after their son, Brooklyn Beckham, publicly shared details about their strained relationship online, the couple posted a celebratory birthday message on Instagram.
Oh my gosh, you guys, Victoria just posted the sweetest thing! It’s Emma’s birthday, and she shared this amazing throwback pic and video of them together on tour – seriously, it took me right back! And the caption? Just ‘I love you so much!!’ – I’m melting! They’re the best, and seeing them support each other still gives me life!
Victoria Beckham shared that her 20-year-old son, Cruz Beckham’s, March concert at London’s Courtyard Theater has already sold out, and simply wrote “Wow!” to celebrate his success.
David also celebrated his birthday by sending wishes to his old football friends, including Nicky Butt, Philip Neville, and Philip’s twin sister, Tracey Neville.
David and Victoria Beckham, who are also parents to Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14, haven’t publicly responded to a recent post by their son, Brooklyn. However, David did share some thoughts about the influence of social media just a day after Brooklyn’s message went public.
The footballer recently discussed social media’s influence – both positive and negative – during an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box on January 20th. He highlighted the potential dangers of what children can access online, noting that it’s a serious concern.
From my experience, and especially as a parent, it’s so important to use your voice for good. I’ve personally found that having a platform, like the one I’ve built, is an incredible opportunity to shine a light on important issues. I’ve been proud to partner with UNICEF, using my reach to raise awareness about the challenges children face around the world, and I always strive to use my influence in a similar way.
He did acknowledge, however, that no one’s use is perfect.
I try to raise my children the same way – by letting them learn through experience,” said the owner of Inter Miami CF. “Kids will make mistakes, and that’s okay. It’s how they grow. I try to instill that in my children, understanding that sometimes you have to let them learn from those errors.
Brooklyn Beckham stated in an Instagram Story post on January 19th that his parents have been leaking stories about him and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, to the media, and that his family has repeatedly attempted to sabotage their relationship.
He described having significant anxiety during his childhood, but says that improved after he created some distance from his parents.
He shared that he starts each day thankful for the life he and his wife have built, a life where they’ve found calm and contentment. They prioritize peace, privacy, and family happiness over public image or outside influences, and want to raise their future children away from the pressures of the media and public attention.
For a deeper dive on how the Beckham family estrangement has unfolded over the years, read on.
While there was no official requirement, many people expected Nicola Peltz Beckham to wear a wedding dress designed by her future mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, when she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022. The wedding took place at Nicola’s family’s 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 confirmed there wasn’t any major conflict regarding a dress. She did hint at some letdown, though, when she learned she wouldn’t be able to wear a custom design by Victoria Beckham.
In August 2022, Nicola told Variety that she had initially planned to wear a dress designed by this particular designer and was very excited about it. However, a few months later, the designer informed her that her workshop couldn’t actually create the dress. This meant Nicola had to choose a different one. She clarified that the designer never forbade her from wearing the dress, and she never expressed a desire not to wear it. The situation escalated from there, and the media misinterpreted it, creating a false narrative.
Brooklyn shared that she’s realized people will always try to be negative or bring others down. Thankfully, she added, everyone on the team gets along well.
Speaking to Grazia the following month, Nicola called the Beckhams “great in-laws.”
Okay, so usually I steer clear of commenting on gossip, but I have to say, the Peltz-Beckham wedding was genuinely beautiful. It really was a lovely event!
“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 later.
Nicola wished Victoria Beckham a happy birthday on Instagram, saying she was sad to miss the celebration and sending lots of love from her and her nanny. She also shared a previous birthday post from April 17th, with a photo of them together, writing, “I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever.”
Naunni’s death deeply affected Nicola, and many others shared their grief. Brooklyn posted a heartfelt message on Instagram marking the one-year anniversary of Naunni’s passing, remembering her infectious happiness and how she always brought joy to those around her. Brooklyn expressed missing Naunni dearly and wishing her future children could have known her, describing her as a truly unique and irreplaceable person who is missed every day.
In a June 2024 interview with InStyle, Brooklyn reflected on his upbringing – growing up with a famous footballer father and a Spice Girl mother – and said he had a very happy childhood.
He admitted things were busy, but added that he had amazing parents and really enjoyed himself.
Okay, so I was totally stalking their Instagrams, and it was the best! Brooklyn and Nicola spent some of the holidays with her family, the Peltzes, which is amazing. But honestly? The photos of everyone – David, Victoria, Brooklyn, and Nicola – together just made my year! It was so clear they were all happy and together right now, you know? No drama, no looking back, just pure family time. I swear, I could feel the good vibes through the screen!
Victoria shared a series of photos celebrating the holidays with her family, writing, ‘Being together makes me so happy. I love you all so much!’ She also tagged each of her children and her daughter-in-law in the post.
It’s unclear why, but Brooklyn and Nicola weren’t in any of the pictures David Beckham’s parents shared from his 50th birthday celebration with family and friends in London in May 2025.
According to a source at TopMob News, the couple traveled to England, choosing to miss the Met Gala on May 5th. They reportedly hoped to visit David and celebrate his birthday during that week or weekend.
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 attending more and more 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 on Instagram wondered why Brooklyn Beckham missed his dad’s party, seemingly to be with Kim, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, responded by clarifying that “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”
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.
The wedding is facing even more drama now that reports are surfacing about a problem during the couple’s first dance. It’s currently unknown exactly what happened, but it clearly didn’t go as planned.
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 instead announced Victoria Beckham, leaving Brooklyn feeling awkward and unsure of what to do.
Nicola briefly left the wedding reception in tears, but she returned and was able to compose herself to enjoy the rest of the celebration.
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 affected by it.
According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola have genuinely tried to build a relationship with his family over the years, but things are currently strained.
In a May 2025 Instagram post, Brooklyn affectionately called Nicola his “whole world,” expressing his deep love with a message declaring his unwavering commitment to her and calling her the most amazing person he knows.
When accusations arise, those accused usually hire lawyers. The recent story about Nicola being upset at her wedding three years ago could 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 told TopMob News that while the couple do have a lawyer, it isn’t 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. Cruz Beckham quickly dismissed these rumors, confirming they weren’t true.
I was so relieved to see him finally address the rumors! He posted on Instagram that it’s completely false – his parents would never unfollow him. He explained they actually woke up to find they were blocked, and so was he! It’s good to have the real story out there.
Brooklyn Beckham chose to celebrate Christmas 2025 with his wife Nicola’s family, including her parents Claudia Heffner Peltz and Nelson Peltz, rather than joining his own family. His younger brother, Cruz, stayed home for the holidays with their parents.
David recently shared a year-in-review, posting photos with family and friends from 2025. Notably absent from the pictures were his oldest son and Nicola, Brooklyn’s wife, fueling speculation about a family disagreement.
An hour later, David posted old photos of himself with each of his and Victoria’s children. He captioned a black-and-white picture with Brooklyn, “I love you all so much.”
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following this story closely. Back in January 2026, Brooklyn took to Instagram to openly share the difficult situation with his family – he posted a very detailed message explaining their estrangement. It was a really raw and honest moment, and he wanted his followers to understand what was going on.
He stated he didn’t want to make amends with his family, explaining that he was finally asserting his independence and refusing to be controlled.
In a recent post, Brooklyn accused his parents of manipulating media coverage about their family, prioritizing the ‘Beckham brand’ over everything else, and actively attempting to sabotage his relationship with Nicola.
He mentioned he’s always struggled with anxiety, but separating from his family has brought him a sense of calm and relief.
