Victoria Beckham Shares Short And Sweet Message On Son Brooklyn's Birthday Amid Fall-Out Drama
Victoria Beckham has joined her husband Sir David in wishing their son Brooklyn a happy birthday, despite their eldest child no longer being on speaking terms with them.
The Beckham family have been at the centre of feud rumours for the last few months, with Brooklyn Peltz Beckham finally speaking out in January to confirm that he is now estranged from his parents and has no intention of reconciling with them.
Across several social media posts, he accused them of “performative” and “controlling” behaviour over the course of his “entire life”, as well as claiming that they had tried “endlessly” to “ruin” his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.
Neither Sir David nor Victoria has commented publicly on Brooklyn’s claims, but on Wednesday, the football legend shared an old family photo to commemorate his son’s 27th birthday.
After reposting her husband’s message, the former Spice Girls star then shared one of her own, writing alongside an old photo of herself and her son: “Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn, I love you so much.”
The morning after Brooklyn’s social media post confirming the fall-out, Sir David made an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he dodged numerous questions about the family drama.
During a subsequent interview, he made a timely comment about social media use among young people, explaining: “I’ve tried [with] my children to educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.
“That’s what I try to teach my kids. But you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”
In the weeks before Brooklyn’s posts, it had been reported in the press that Sir David and Victoria had unfollowed him on Instagram, to which his brother Cruz Beckham made a public statement in retaliation.
“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son,” he insisted, before alleging: “They woke up blocked… as did I.”
A representative for Victoria also told People magazine around this time that it was “not true” that she had unfollowed Brooklyn.
