David Beckham’s 2025 Instagram highlights raised eyebrows for excluding his eldest son, Brooklyn, amid an ongoing family rift. The retired soccer star, 50, shared 20 photos celebrating milestones—including his 50th birthday, knighthood, and MLS win—featuring his wife Victoria and their three younger children: Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14. Notably absent was Brooklyn, 26, who hasn’t appeared alongside the family in recent posts.
David’s caption praised his “incredible wife” and “amazing children,” thanking them for memories he’d “forever remember.” Victoria responded warmly, commenting, “We all love u so much.” Followers, however, split over Brooklyn’s omission—some criticized the move as divisive, while others supported David for prioritizing “present and loving” family members.
Reps for the Beckhams and Brooklyn haven’t addressed the feud publicly, but tensions have simmered for years, escalating recently when Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram. Cruz clarified that David and Victoria “would never unfollow their son” and had been blocked themselves. Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz, who married in 2022, have shared subtle social media jabs, including holiday photos with Peltz’s family and a TikTok set to Lady Gaga’s “Sorry, I’m busy” lyrics. Victoria appeared to respond by posting a dance video soundtracked by “Guilty,” a song about having “nothing to be sorry for.”
Despite the rift, Brooklyn and Peltz remain united, with him calling her his “everything” in recent posts.
