The Beckham family put on a united front on Friday March 6, as they arrived in the French capital in order to support matriarch Victoria Beckham. Victoria was hosting her annual Paris Fashion Week show, marking her first show since her eldest son Brooklyn Beckham launched a broadside at his family, including the highlighting of “performative social media posts”.
However, things were markedly different this year, with none of the usual fanfare the family usually enjoy, which often includes a big departure from their hotels and arrivals at the show. Victoria also usually ends her shows by gesturing to her family, and giving husband David a kiss, however on this occasion she simply waved to the crowds before departing.

Birthday posts
The family defied Brooklyn’s wishes by marking his 27th birthday with a series of public Instagram posts as Brooklyn marked his 27th birthday. Although Brooklyn has snubbed his family’s birthdays in recent months, they all shared messages marking his special day, with parents David and Victoria even affectionately using his nickname, Buster.
In a tribute, David, 50, shared two throwback photos, one of which showed David and Victoria holding baby Brooklyn in a pool on holiday, while the second snap is a black-and-white photo of the father-of-four with young Brooklyn.

Victoria shared the same poolside snap of Brooklyn, and wrote: “Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn. I love you so much.”
Likewise, Brooklyn’s younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, shared their own social media tributes to their older sibling. Cruz’s message featured a snap of the two brothers together as young children, and he captioned the post: “I love you.”
Family feud
While tensions have been simmering below the surface for months, with Brooklyn skipping family events and birthdays, things took a major turn in January when the star shared a statement against his family, hitting out over “controlled narratives” and “inauthentic relationships”.
In the statement, the star expressed his desire never to reconcile with his family. In one part of his statement, he claimed: “My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first.

However, one of the key parts of Brooklyn’s statement accused his family of disliking his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, claiming that Victoria pulled out of designing Nicola’s wedding dress at the last minute, before “hijacking” the couple’s first dance at their wedding.
“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,” he said. “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”

Brooklyn’s claims have been backed up by guests at the wedding, including DJ Fat Tony. Appearing on This Morning, he explained that Marc Anthony had asked for “the most beautiful woman in the room” to stand up before inviting Victoria over, prompting Nicola to leave the room in tears.
