Brooklyn Beckham's Family Drama: Celebrating In-Laws Over Parents?

Brooklyn Beckham spent the weekend celebrating his father-in-law Nelson, posing in hapy family snaps from the billionaire's 83rd birthday

BECKHAM FAMILY FEUD REACHES A BOILING POINT!

As the Beckham family's drama continues to unfold, it seems that eldest son Brooklyn has chosen his father-in-law Nelson Peltz over his own dad David, celebrating the billionaire's 83rd birthday with a lavish party and gushing social media posts. Meanwhile, back in the UK, Victoria and David were left to enjoy their own bittersweet family time, with Victoria sharing a sun-soaked snap of her parents Anthony and Jackie Adams.

But let's get back to Brooklyn, who seemed right at home with his in-laws Nicola Peltz and her brothers at the party held at the Peltz family's massive home in Bedford, New York. Nicola gushed about her "most loving father" Nelson, while Brooklyn shared a sweet birthday tribute, writing: "Happy birthday Nelson x We love you!"

But this is not the first time Brooklyn has snubbed his own dad's birthday celebrations. Last month, he failed to attend David's 50th birthday party, and didn't even wish him a happy birthday on social media - an unusual move for the Beckhams, who are known for their loving posts.

And it seems that Brooklyn's parents have become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son. A source close to the family revealed: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect." But is this just a clever publicity stunt, or has the rift between Brooklyn and his parents reached an all-time low?

The drama began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother Victoria's birthday last month. A far cry from his usual sweet posts about her, it seemed that Brooklyn had chosen to distance himself from his family. And things only got worse when he failed to attend any of David's 50th birthday celebrations.

The celebratory photos are the latest blow for David and Victoria, after Brooklyn snubbed his own dad's 50th birthday (the Beckhams pictured at Christmas 2024 with Brooklyn and Nicola)

But despite the drama, Brooklyn has shown that not all ties have been severed. He paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on her 76th birthday, sharing a throwback picture and captioning: "Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much." And in a rare show of unity, David ensured that absent son Brooklyn got a mention despite their widening rift.

David shared a carousel of photos featuring himself with mum Sandra from childhood to the present day, writing: "Happy birthday mum we love you so much I hope u have the best day. Thank you for always being there for us all. Love you." He rounded off the tribute by including the Instagram handles of various family members, among them younger sister Joanne and his three sons with wife Victoria - Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.

'happy birthday dad! i am so lucky to be your daughter, you’re the most loving and supportive father i could ever dream of,' Nicola gushed alongside the party snaps

'i love you more than i could ever begin to express - you’re the wind beneath my wings,' Nicola's loving tribute to her dad continued

Meanwhile Brooklyn's mum Victoria, 51, who along with husband David, 50, are in the midst of an escalating rift with their eldest son and his wife, enjoyed her own bittersweet family time
