David Beckham has sent a public message to son Brooklyn on his birthday, despite the very public family feud.
It’s been a turbulent lot of months for the Beckhams, after Brooklyn publicly released a scathing statement against his family. The statement shockingly alleged that Brooklyn has been controlled by his parents for his whole life. And that they reportedly never accepted his relationship with now-wife Nicola Peltz, while Victoria reportedly gave an “inappropriate dance” at his wedding.
But he also alleged that his brothers – Romeo and Cruz – unfollowed him on social media, as his parents tried to “control the narrative”. However, now, months later, David has sent another public message to him.

David Beckham sends public message to Brooklyn on birthday
Today (March 4) marks Brooklyn Beckham’s 27th birthday. But it appears his family aren’t willing to miss the occasion, even though Brooklyn made it clear he did “not want to reconcile”.
Taking to his Instagram Stories this morning, David Beckham shared his own birthday message to Brooklyn.
David shared two snaps. The first one of Brooklyn as a toddler, in a swimming pool with himself and Victoria.
Alongside the image, David penned: “27 today. Happy birthday Bust. We love you,” alongside a white heart.
That wasn’t the only thing he posted, though, as he shared another photo. This time, Brooklyn looked a good bit older, and he was posing in a black-and-white shot beside David.
He wrote alongside that snap: “Happy birthday Bust. Love you,” with a pink heart. David also tagged Victoria in the snaps.
Victoria then also shared her own message to Brooklyn on her own Instagram Stories.
She shared the same first image as David, but wrote her own caption. The Spice Girl penned: “Happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much.”
Another snap showed Victoria holding Brooklyn when he was younger, spinning him around. She wrote alongside that: “Happy 27th birthday, Brooklyn. I love you so much,” with six red hearts.
However, while they have made a public gesture, Brooklyn reportedly has his family blocked on social media, so he may not even see it.
What did Brooklyn say about his family?
How the Beckhams post on social media is something Brooklyn hit out at in his statement.
He penned: “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op. Even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.
“We [Brooklyn and Nicola] have gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family’. But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.”
Brooklyn also claimed: “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
Victoria Beckham was in the firing line last month when son Brooklyn released a shock statement about their feud.
He posted the statement on his Instagram Stories. It laid into mum Victoria and dad David.
It was also where he said her dance with him at his wedding to Nicola Peltz was “inappropriate”.
Brooklyn Beckham’s statement in full
He shared: “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled. I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
He then continued: “Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media. Mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
Beckhams accused of ‘endlessly trying to ruin’ his relationship
Brooklyn Beckham continued: “My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding. And it hasn’t stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
“Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name. It would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday. And they have never treated me the same since.”
But it got worse…
He then added: “During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.
“The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was ‘not blood’ and ‘not family’. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
“Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media. Before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last summer,” he said.
That ‘inappropriate’ wedding dance
“My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead,” Brooklyn said of Victoria Beckham.
“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment,” he also added.
But Brooklyn Beckham wasn’t done there…
The eldest Beckham boy continued: “My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family. No matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
“Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad’s birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.
“When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn’t invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.”
‘Peace, privacy and happiness’
Concluding his statement, Brooklyn Beckham said: “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media. Or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp. Even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.
“We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family’. But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.
“The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.
“I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose. And I have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”
