Recently, on his personal page, Brooklyn Beckham - David Beckham's eldest son posted a photo with his wife's family with a red heart icon. The members stood around billionaire Nelson Peltz and expressed their affection for him.
Brooklyn's wife - Nicola - also sent a message to her father: "Happy birthday, Dad! I am very lucky to be a daughter of a father. Father is the one who always supports all of your dreams best. I love you more than you express. Father is the wind beneath my wings. Thank you for always being by our side....
The move of Brooklyn and his wife caused controversy on social media. Many people criticized Brooklyn for expressing their affection for their father-in-law, but not caring about or ignoring the special day of their biological parents.
Brooklyn did not attend his parents' birthday party. Not only that, the entire Becks family is silent, without a congratulatory message on social media. While many years before, Brooklyn often showed gratitude and love to Becks.
Recently, Brooklyn has been absent from important family occasions many times. In addition to David Beckham's 50th birthday party, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz were also absent from the hospital when the English football star underwent hand surgery.
Brooklyn and his wife have not been in contact with the family or met with any family members. The eldest son shows signs of distance from everyone, even from his two younger brothers Romeo and Cruz.
The only person who still maintains the interaction is her grandmother. On June 26, he posted a photo with her on Instagram with the caption: "Happy birthday to you. I love you so much".
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham did not share about their son's behavior. But Romeo's younger brother took the move that was said to be a reminder to Brooklyn through a post on his personal page.
"Life is too short, love your loved friend, tell them how much you love them. Everything can happen to you at any time. But a person who truly loves and cares for you will always be there. Never suppress your love and respect for anyone," Romeo wrote.
Although he did not mention anyone, the content that Romeo shared made many people think that he was sending to Brooklyn, hoping that he would soon return to his family.
Rumors of a rift in the Beckham family began in April 2025, when it was reported that Romeo Beckham was dating DJ Kim Turnbull - the ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn's brother.
However, Cruz Beckham denied it, saying that Brooklyn and Kim had never been in love. After that, Romeo and Kim also broke up peacefully.
In addition, some sources said that family tensions have been simmering since 2022, when Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz were married. Victoria Beckham was accused of interfering too deeply in the preparation stage and was unhappy that Nicola did not choose a wedding dress from her brand.
