As close friends and family gathered together to celebrate David Beckham‘s 50th birthday over the weekend, one person was noticeably absent from the festivities: the retired soccer player’s son, Brooklyn Beckham.
On Sunday, Victoria Beckham took to social media to share a series of photos from the birthday festivities, including an intimate dinner and a Paris excursion.
“Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all,” Victoria, who tagged her three other children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, wrote. None of the photos featured Brooklyn or his wife, Nicola Peltz.
On Saturday, friends including Eva Longoria, Gordon Ramsay, Tom Cruise and more gathered at London’s Core restaurant to celebrate the milestone. Brooklyn seemed to have missed this event as well.
While it’s unclear why the 26-year-old was not in attendance for any of his father’s celebrations, rumors of a feud between his wife, Nicola, and Victoria have been swirling since Nicola and Brooklyn first got married in April 2022. Fans noticed Nicola chose not to share any photos of Brooklyn’s family from the wedding on social media, and rumors were further fueled by the fact that she hadn’t worn a wedding dress designed by Victoria.
When addressing the feud rumors in August that year, Brooklyn told Variety that everything being written about his mom and Nicola taught him the media is “always going to try and put people down,” but what is important is that “everyone gets along, which is good.”
In 2023, Nicola told Cosmopolitan, “I’ve said this so many times: There’s no feud. I don’t know. No one ever wants to write the nice things. It’s really weird, actually, whether it’s my life or someone else’s life or whatever, when you know the truth, and then you read something totally wrong.”

David, meanwhile, took to Instagram to reflect on his 50 years of life.
“As I reflect on this Birthday I’m very grateful for many things in my life the teams I’ve played for, my teammates, managers, the fans, MY COUNTRY and being England captain, the children I have met over different charities I work with, my team in my business & the friends I have around me I feel truly blessed,” he wrote on May 2. “But my biggest accomplishment is and will always be my family.”

He continued, “My mum and dad who sacrificed so much for me to live my dream of becoming a footballer, my sisters who had to put up with following their brother around in the freezing cold watching me play football and my amazing nan and grandad… My wife and best friend of 28 years and my beautiful children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz & Harper you are the reason I get out of bed each day.”
