Victoria Beckham breaks silence with 'brave' post after Brooklyn's latest hurtful snub

Davidand Victoria Beckham have maintained their polished public image this week, sharing upbeat content on Instagram, even as the strain with their eldest son Brooklyn becomes even more apparent.

Brooklyn, 26, raised eyebrows on Tuesday when he shared a glowing birthday tribute to his billionaire father-in-law, Nelson Peltz. “Happy birthday Nelson x We love you,” he captioned a photo of himself and Nicola alongside the powerful businessman.

The affectionate post stood in stark contrast to his continued silence toward his own parents - having ignored both of their birthdays and skipped David’s highly publicised 50th celebration altogether, as well as keeping quiet on Father's Day and the news of his Knighthood.

While Brooklyn has poured love on the Peltz family, the Beckhams kept their focus on work. This week, Victoria, 51, uploaded clips from her facial treatments, showing herself lying on a spa bed mid-procedure.

One video read: “Inside Victoria's skincare routine - From professional treatments with the incredible Keren Bartov to the everyday rituals she swears by, it's all part of a considered approach.” She added, “Mini lift - ultrasound with radio frequency to build collagen and lift the skin.” Victoria also shared her full product lineup from her beauty brand, detailing her daily routine for clear, radiant skin.

David, 50, also stayed in promo mode, posting a light-hearted ad for Ninja, where he made watermelon margaritas with one of their juicers. Meanwhile, their middle son Romeo, 22, took to Instagram in a red Balenciaga top, posting a carousel of selfies and mirror snaps.

However, behind the cheerful updates lies a growing divide as reports have long suggested that David and Victoria are concerned about Nicola’s influence over Brooklyn, especially as his ties to the Beckham clan appear to be tearing apart.

The distance was first noticed when Brooklyn failed to post any birthday message for Victoria in May - a sharp contrast from previous years, where his social media tributes were a regular occurrence. Neither he nor Nicola publicly acknowledged her 51st, even as David, Romeo, and Cruz shared heartfelt messages.

Brooklyn also missed every single one of David’s 50th birthday events, including a private family party in the Cotswolds, a luxury getaway in France, a celebratory dinner at Core in Notting Hill, and a fishing trip with the Beckham men. Despite being in London at the time, he was absent from them all.

Adding to the friction, Brooklyn and Nicola visited the capital last month for a fashion shoot with Moncler, staged less than two miles from the Beckhams’ Holland Park residence - yet reportedly didn’t inform David or Victoria of their visit, nor did they attempt to meet.

Though the Beckhams continue to present a united front, the silence from Brooklyn also continues speaks volumes. The Mirror has contacted the Beckham's for comment on this story.
