David and Victoria Beckham extend fresh olive branch to son Brooklyn as pair mark milestone with sweet post
David Beckham has posted a heartfelt tribute to wife Victoria on their 26th wedding anniversary, thanking her for their “beautiful children” whilst tagging all four of their kids – including seemingly estranged eldest son Brooklyn.
The former England captain, 50, took to Instagram on Friday morning with a carousel of family photographs spanning their decades together.
“26 years today you said YES to me Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together I love you Lady Beckham,” Beckham wrote, using Victoria’s new title following his recent knighthood.
He tagged the fashion designer, 51, and their sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, whilst using a hashtag for 13-year-old daughter Harper, who does not have social media.
Victoria also marked the occasion with her own Instagram post, sharing wedding photographs and family snapshots whilst tagging all four children including Brooklyn.
“Another year, another chapter in our love story. I’m so proud of the beautiful family and life we’ve built together.
“You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham xx Here’s to 26 years!! xx,” she wrote.
The couple, who met in 1997 and married two years later at Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin, shared images from their lavish 1999 wedding alongside photographs of family holidays and moments with their children through the years.
David also posted a throwback photograph showing him in a Chicago Bulls vest and New York Yankees cap with Victoria’s arms wrapped around his neck.
The anniversary posts come amid ongoing reports of a family rift between the Beckhams and Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz.
Brooklyn and Nicola notably missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May, including a fishing trip, a party at the family’s Cotswolds home, and a meal at Notting Hill restaurant Core.
An insider told Us Weekly that the couple has “not been in touch” with David and Victoria since then, adding: “There hasn’t been any sort of resolution from either side.”
According to reports, Brooklyn flew to London with Nicola for a Moncler campaign shoot less than two weeks after missing the birthday festivities, but did not inform his family of the visit.
A source described the decision as “disgracefully rude” within Beckham circles.
Brooklyn has reportedly told his family he wants no contact, according to Page Six, though sources close to him denied these claims.
Whilst Brooklyn remained silent on social media for Father’s Day and his father’s knighthood announcement in June, his younger brothers publicly celebrated both occasions.
“I’m so proud of you, Dad, I love you,” Cruz wrote on Instagram Stories when David received his knighthood, with Romeo adding: “So so proud of you.”
Brooklyn did, however, post a birthday tribute to his grandmother Sandra on her 76th birthday, sharing a throwback photograph with the caption: “Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much.”
