David Beckham posted a heartfelt Easter photo of Brooklyn, quietly addressing rumours of tension between his eldest son and the family ahead of his milestone birthday celebration.
David Beckham has broken his silence amid swirling rumours of a growing rift with his eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, sharing a tender Easter post that fans believe was meant to signal unity.
The former football star, 49, took to Instagram to post a series of throwback Easter photos featuring all four of his children — Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. One of the most striking images was a black-and-white snap of a young Brooklyn clutching a giant chocolate Easter bunny, a clear nod to happier, more innocent times.
The post comes in the midst of media speculation that Brooklyn may be distancing himself from the family, with tensions allegedly sparked by Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull — who reportedly dated Brooklyn nearly a decade ago. According to sources, the situation has led to a strain with parents David and Victoria Beckham, and there are even fears that Brooklyn could skip David’s landmark birthday celebration next month.
Rumours intensified after Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were noticeably absent from recent family events, including David’s pre-birthday bash in Miami, which featured A-list guests like Lionel Messi and Cindy Crawford. The couple also didn’t publicly wish Victoria a happy 51st birthday — a notable departure from previous years.
Meanwhile, Victoria is said to adore Romeo’s girlfriend Kim, despite Brooklyn and Nicola allegedly questioning her intentions. Victoria also reportedly has a warm relationship with Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, further fueling whispers of division within the Beckham circle.
Adding to the silence, neither David nor Victoria acknowledged Brooklyn and Nicola’s third wedding anniversary on social media — a sharp contrast to their usual public praise and celebration of family milestones. Instead, Brooklyn shared a bouquet photo from his in-laws, Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heffner.
A source told the Daily Mail: "David adores his sons and he is so proud of how close they are. All he wants is to have the whole family together, smiling and getting along for his birthday. That would mean the world to him."
Another insider added: "It would absolutely destroy David if these issues weren’t resolved. More than the party, what he really wants is to see his kids happy and united."
