David Beckham’s son Brooklyn, 26, breaks silence after brutal Victoria Beckham snub as family feud rumours intensify
Brooklyn Beckham has sparked fresh speculation about a family rift after failing to publicly acknowledge his mother Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday.
While the rest of the Beckham family shared loving tributes on social media for the former Spice Girl’s special day on Thursday, Brooklyn was noticeably silent.
The 26-year-old’s absence from Victoria’s birthday celebrations in Miami has only fuelled rumours of tension within the famous family.
Victoria celebrated her birthday with a lavish party aboard the family’s £20million yacht in Miami, Florida.
The fashion designer shared photos on Instagram of her celebrations, which included a strawberry-filled Victoria sponge cake and a sun-soaked day at sea.
She was joined by husband David, son Romeo, 22, and daughter Harper, 13, as well as close friends Isabela and David Grutman.

“Thank you for making my birthday so special. My family and my friends, I love you all so much,” Victoria wrote in her caption.
While Victoria was celebrating her birthday, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham were spotted at the annual Coachella Festival in California.
The couple appeared smitten while watching artist Benson Boone perform, with Brooklyn sporting a baby blue baseball cap and a green and white leaf print shirt.
Nicola, 30, opted for a black crochet top and jeans as they enjoyed the festival, which coincided with their third wedding anniversary celebrations.
The absence comes amid reports of tension between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, possibly related to Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull.
US news website TMZ claimed Brooklyn and Nicola were choosing not to attend family gatherings if Kim was present.
It’s been suggested that Brooklyn was once romantically linked to Kim years ago, though Cruz reportedly dismissed this claim on social media.
Sources told TMZ the issue stems from Brooklyn and Nicola questioning whether Kim has “the right intentions” in dating Romeo.
Brooklyn broke his social media silence yesterday, posting a series of photos from Coachella with the caption: “Made amazing memories this year x.”
The post came just an hour after Victoria shared her birthday celebration photos, prompting fans to question his silence about his mother’s birthday.
“No birthday message for your mum?” one follower asked, while another commented: “You only get one mum in this life.”
While Cruz was also absent from the birthday celebrations, he did share a tribute to his mother on social media.
The 20-year-old posted a snapshot of a young Victoria reading to him and his older brother on his Instagram stories, writing: “Happy Birthday to the most inspirational mum. You have done everything for us.”
Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel also posted a touching message, suggesting the couple would be joining the family for a belated celebration soon.
Brooklyn’s absence from Victoria’s birthday celebrations and his failure to publicly acknowledge it has only intensified speculation about family tensions.
The couple were also notably absent from David Beckham’s early 50th birthday celebration in Miami last month.
Fans have pointed out that Brooklyn and Nicola were missing from Victoria’s most recent Paris Fashion Week show as well.
These apparent social media snubs and missed family gatherings continue to fuel rumours of a rift within the Beckham family.
