David Beckham has seemingly turned to social media to hint he has his eldest son on his mind after weeks of reports he is clashing with his firstborn and his daughter-in-law
David Beckham has seemingly attempted to connect with his eldest son via social media amid reports of a feud within the family. Fans of the fame hungry family will be aware the rumours and reports of a rift between Brooklyn, 26, and his billionaire heiress wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have been simmering since their 2022 marriage.
While at first there were tales of tension between Nicola and former Spice Girl mother-in-law Victoria Beckham – which they later appeared to try to silence by supporting each other both online and at events and fashion shows in real life – things took a turn in recent weeks when it was implied Brooklyn had clashed with younger brother Romeo Beckham, 22, and his choice of girlfriend; Kim Turnbull, 24.
Evidence of tension hit new heights last week when Brooklyn a his wife appeared to snub David’s 50th birthday celebrations by skipping parties in the UK and France and by failing to pay tribute to his landmark year on social media. Now there is evidence that David is desperately trying to connect to Brooklyn online.
On Sunday, America celebrated Mother’s Day – almost a month and a half after the annual holiday was marked in the UK. Despite being from the UK, David seized upon the symbolic holiday to share a photo of wife Victoria with all four of their children.
The former footballer shared a vintage snap of Vicky with daughter Harper Seven back when she was a baby laying on her chest – while Brooklyn, Romeo and third son Cruz flanked the singer-turned-designer on either side.
He captioned the image: “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mommy. To all our friends in the U.S. Happy Mother’s Day.” He also noticeably tagged his sons – including Brooklyn. Fans have surmised that the footballer may be trying to send a message to his son via his Mother’s Day post.
The Mirror has contacted representatives of both David and Brooklyn for comment. The latest update comes hours after Brooklyn appeared to confront reports of tension between him and his dad in a weekend newspaper interview.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, the social media influencer explained that watching Formula E racing brings him closer to his dad. He told the outlet: “It’s something that me and my dad bonded over. My dad’s had some pretty cool cars.”
A feud is said to have sparked between the eldest Beckham offspring and the rest of the clan after Romeo Beckham started dating Kim Turnball – who was previously romantically linked to Brooklyn a few years ago. Since the claims, Brooklyn has snubbed paying tribute to his parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51, on their birthdays and missed out on their celebrations.
A source has claimed: “There has been no call, no contact, nothing. As parents, David and Victoria are concerned for their son and they have tried to get in touch but he isn’t interested.
“David even tried through social media last Monday because he fears that his son won’t know that he and Victoria love him so dearly otherwise,” they added to the Daily Mail.
David is said to have shared how he missed his son during a birthday fishing trip to Scotland, after reaching out to him on social media but, it has been said that Brooklyn “isn’t interested at all” despite his parents’ attempts to let him know “they are all there for him when he’s ready to talk”.
Meanwhile, it has been claimed that there are beliefs that Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, who wed in April 2022, “must be behind” the family fallout.
Around the time Nicola and Brooklyn wed, rumours of a feud between the American actress and fashion designer Victoria have been swirling. Nicola’s friends recently claimed “emotional abuse and toxic behaviour” are the reasons behind the fallout. However, David and Victoria reject the claims and are outraged by the suggestions.
A source close to the Beckhams recently told the Mirror: “I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn’t even warrant a response it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.”
