In 2024, the English football legend became the Ambassador of The King's Foundation to aim at educating and preserving nature.
Accompanying David Beckham on the important day was his wife - Victoria Beckham. The 51-year-old woman personally designed her husband's vest in pride.
Beckham's parents, Mr. Ted and Mrs. Sandra, were also present and were both happy to see their son be deposed.
The three children Romeo, Cruz and Harper were all present at the ceremony to congratulate David Beckham on his happy day. However, the son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife Nicola Peltz, did not appear or contact the family.
While Romeo and Cruz posted congratulatory photos and shared their pride in their father, Brooklyn was completely silent. Brooklyn Beckham's move caused a lot of controversy, further affirming that he was having conflicts with his parents and other members.
Previously, on the birthdays of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn and his wife did not attend and did not send wishes. However, the couple still showed affection for Nicola Peltz's father.
Not only that, Brooklyn has also 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 been out of contact with the family and have not met with any other members of the family. The eldest son shows signs of distance from everyone, even from his two younger brothers Romeo and Cruz.
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.
