After David Beckham offered a olive branch to his estranged son Brooklyn, his wife has issued a response of her own

Victoria Beckham has added a quiet response to the ongoing drama surrounding her family, just hours after her husband’s heartfelt post about their estranged son.

The alleged tension between Brooklyn and his parents has been bubbling away for months, with the family having not been pictured together in full since Christmas 2024.

Yesterday (December 31), David Beckham took to his Instagram story to share photos of all of his children, including an old snap featuring just him and Brooklyn.

The black and white photo features third in the series of photos, which begins with the words: “I’m so grateful for my family I love you all.”

“I’m so lucky to have my amazing family,” the former soccer star continues, before writing on the photo of him and Brooklyn: “I love you all so much.”

David then adds: “I’m a very lucky Daddy.”

Just hours later, the former Spice Girl took to the platform to repost David’s New Year Story, although Victoria didn’t add any words of her own. Instead, she did include a single love heart emoji.

But they aren’t the only high-profile family to have rift rumors, as we learned after Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly married Brit Olympian Adam Peaty on Saturday (December 27) – which Victoria and David Beckham attended.

Peaty’s mom, Caroline, has alleged that she was excluded from her new daughter-in-law’s hen celebrations and said the situation has been deeply upsetting, claiming the newly married couple have ‘cut her heart out’.

She has spoken about how the family fallout has left her ‘so hurt’, and revealed that she exchanged what she described as a ‘hurtful’ series of messages with her Olympic swimmer son in the run-up to the wedding.

During the reception, Gordon Ramsay is also said to have made a sharp remark that appeared to reference the strained family dynamic.

According to reports from The Sun, addressing Peaty, Ramsay referenced his wife of nearly 30 years, saying: “Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.”

Ramsay allegedly followed up by addressing his daughter directly with a tongue-in-cheek remark about Peaty’s absent parents, adding: “Shame you don’t have the same.”

It might have felt all too familiar for guests David and Victoria Beckham.

Earlier this year Brooklyn, who is married to actor Nicola Peltz, was noticeably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in 2025.

The situation intensified when fans realised Brooklyn no longer followed either of his parents on Instagram.

While some assumed David and Victoria had unfollowed him in return, Cruz Beckham stepped in to correct the narrative.

“NOT TRUE,” he wrote. “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”

Everything we know about David and Victoria Beckham’s ‘feud’ with Brooklyn as son shares shocking details

Here is everything we know about David and Victoria Beckham’s alleged ‘feud’ with their eldest son, Brooklyn, after Cruz Beckham spoke out on the situation.

The entire Beckham family – Victoria, David, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper – have not been pictured together since December 2024, during the festive season.

However, it seems this apparent ‘feud’ started way before then, even as early as 2022, according to some sources.

It’s believed the rift began when Brooklyn married American actress Nicola Peltz, with Victoria keen to get involved in the dress preparations, given the model’s experience in the fashion world.

Wedding disagreement

A source told PEOPLE that Victoria told Nicola that she would love to design her wedding dress, with Nicola allegedly saying it would ‘be her honour’ and that she’d ‘love to wear one of her originals’.

However, a source close to the family said: “Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding. She’d gone to a ton of Victoria Beckham fashion shows and events in Victoria’s clothing. She even wore Victoria Beckham to her Lola movie premiere.”

There are many conflicting reports regarding this, though, as a second insider told the outlet this was ‘far from the truth’ and was an attempt to ‘try and paint Nicola as somehow a victim’.

David’s 50th birthday

The former soccer player celebrated his 50th birthday earlier this year, though Brooklyn and Nicola were nowhere to be seen for the lavish birthday bash.

Insiders told The Mirror that David was ‘hurt’ by their no-show, while PEOPLE claimed Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t go because of Romeo’s partner, Kim Turnball, who was previously linked to the 26-year-old Brooklyn, according to one source.

“Brooklyn didn’t want to be in the same room as her, and he told his dad that,” the source said. “But David opted to have Kim there over Nicola.”

Once more, there are a lot of conflicting reports, as Cruz later denied on Instagram that Brooklyn and Kim were ever dating.

Cryptic social media posts

Celebrity feuds taking place on social media are hardly uncommon in 2025, and many of the Beckhams went online to post cryptic social media posts this year.

Brooklyn captioned one video about Nicola with: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know.”

Nicola reposted the same clip, writing: “I’ve always got you baby.”

Meanwhile, a TikTok video of Romeo and Cruz mocking a ‘baby voice’ resurfaced, which many fans thought was a dig at Nicola.

Cruz’s comments

Brooklyn no longer follows his famous parents on Instagram, while David and Victoria do not follow their eldest son and Peltz.

David and Victoria follow their other two sons, Romeo Beckham and Cruz Beckham; meanwhile, Harper Beckham does not have an Instagram account.

Cruz took to Instagram recently to claim his parents did not unfollow their eldest son, but they instead woke up blocked on the social media site.

Replying to a report on his Instagram Stories, Cruz penned: “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”
