Brooklyn Beckham Snubs Father’s 50th Birthday Amid Family Rift

LONDON, England — Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, did not attend his father David Beckham’s 50th birthday festivities, prompting concern among family members about their strained relationship. Sources close to the Beckhams suggest that tensions between Brooklyn, 26, Nicola, 30, and the family have escalated in recent months.

Despite being in London for the week, Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from multiple family gatherings, including a celebration at the three-Michelin-star restaurant Core in Notting Hill, where David dined with his other children, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, as well as celebrity friends.

A source told PEOPLE, “The relationship is definitely not beyond repair. They love him and are always there for him, but they’re hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.” Brooklyn’s absence during major family events, including his father’s significant milestone, has left many within the family feeling heartbroken.

The rift reportedly worsened after Brooklyn and Nicola chose not to include Victoria Beckham as the designer for Nicola’s wedding gown, a choice that has yet to be forgotten. Observers noted that Brooklyn and Nicola have missed twelve family events in the past year, including key celebrations and gatherings.

During the birthday celebrations, David shared a nostalgic photo with Brooklyn from his youth, captioning it simply, “I love you.” This post was interpreted as a heartfelt attempt to connect with his son amid the ongoing family issues. Meanwhile, Brooklyn did not publicly wish his father a happy birthday, raising further concerns over their relationship.

As Brooklyn and Nicola continue to navigate their own lives in Los Angeles, insiders have expressed that the couple’s ties to Nicola’s parents may have created a divide with the Beckhams, causing significant family disputes and misunderstandings. Sources reveal that David and Victoria remain hopeful of repairing their relationship with Brooklyn, ready to welcome him back whenever he is willing to reconcile.

The family’s struggles have sparked debates among fans and followers, illustrating how celebrity family dynamics can present real emotional challenges.
