Victoria Beckham, 51, extends olive branch to son Brooklyn with heartfelt Father’s Day tribute amid ongoing family rift
Victoria Beckham has shared a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute to her husband David Beckham, in what appeared to be a subtle olive branch to their estranged eldest son, Brooklyn amid ongoing family tensions.
Posting on Instagram, Victoria wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy there is! You always lead with love and our four beautiful children are a reflection of that.
“We all love you so so much!! @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xxx”
The post featured a series of family photos – many of them including Brooklyn – and even a video of the family singing together. Victoria also shared an Instagram story further expressing her love for her family, with a photo captioned “I love you all so much!!”
The touching message came just days after David Beckham was officially named a Knight of the Realm, finally receiving a long-anticipated honour.
His knighthood, announced in the King’s Birthday Honours list, recognised his contributions to sport and charity, particularly through his work with Unicef and the Malaria No More campaign.
He was honoured alongside actor Gary Oldman and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey.
David described receiving the honour as “incredibly humbling” and called it “an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”
The former England captain expressed his gratitude in a statement, saying: “Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.”

He added: “I’m so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I’m grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”
Victoria was among the first to celebrate the news publicly, writing: “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.
“Your dedication to the things that matter most – your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family – has never wavered.
“The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx”
Their son Romeo also paid tribute, sharing a photo with his dad alongside the caption: “So so proud of you.”
Victoria’s post comes as reports of a strained relationship with Brooklyn continue to circulate.
The family rift reportedly began around the time of Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz, 30.
The couple’s absence from David’s 50th birthday celebrations in April only fuelled speculation.
Adding to the rumours, Brooklyn was recently spotted having covered a chest tattoo that once read “mama’s boy,” replacing it with a sketch of Nicola’s wedding bouquet.
Following the missed birthday gathering, David shared a post from a Scotland trip with sons Romeo and Cruz, writing: “You were missed,” tagging Brooklyn.
David appeared to extend an olive branch to their son as well, leaving a heartfelt comment on Victoria’s post addressed to the family: “I love you all,” tagging his three sons, his wife, and including the hashtag #HarperSeven – a clear nod to his daughter.
