David Beckham shares sweet throwback of Brooklyn as the family celebrate Easter – but eldest son stays away amid ‘growing rift’ with parents
The Beckham brood celebrated Easter separately over the weekend amid reports of a rift within the family.
David, 49, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snap of himself and wife Victoria, 50, wearing bunny ears before uploading throwback snaps of children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
While the three youngest children spent the weekend with their parents, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were noticeably absent from the festivities.
The couple spent the weekend together, both sharing the same snap of the aspiring chef with a Lindt chocolate bunny.
Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother’s birthday last week, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her.
Neither the former photographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday on Thursday, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages.
The Mail later revealed relations are said, once more, to be ‘strained’ between Brooklyn and Nicola, and his mum and dad – just weeks away from David’s planned ‘intimate family’ 50th birthday bash.
Instead, the young couple – who married in an eye-wateringly lavish wedding in Palm Beach, Florida in 2022 – chose to share pictures of their trip to the Coachella music festival in Indio, California.
On May 2, David turns 50, and wife Victoria has been meticulously planning a top-secret trip to mark this milestone.
The Daily Mail said on Friday that the location is a picturesque, remote spot in Europe and friends say it will be a ‘family affair’ for the couple, their sons and partners and, of course, youngest daughter Harper.
It will mirror the celebration thrown by David last April to mark Victoria’s half-century. Then, the Beckham clan, plus WAGs, jetted off for a meal at the £200-a-head restaurant La Colombe d’Or on the French Riviera.
While the location is different this time, Victoria was hoping her husband’s celebration would be as idyllic as her own.
However, a dark cloud hangs over the preparations for the former England captain’s big day – after Brooklyn snubbed his mother’s birthday.
There are also fears Brooklyn and his wife may suddenly decide not to accompany the rest of the family to David’s birthday celebrations.
