David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have been together since 1997 | GETTY<\/p>\nDavid and Victoria Beckham celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary today with heartfelt Instagram tributes to one another.<\/p>\n
However, in both posts, fans quickly spotted the fact that the tributes included a pointed reference to their estranged eldest son, Brooklyn. <\/p>\n
The former Spice Girl, 52, shared a photograph of herself kissing her husband alongside a message praising their “four amazing children” \u2014 a clear nod to Brooklyn despite the ongoing family rift.<\/p>\n
“After 27 years of marriage, four amazing children and countless matching outfits, you’re still my everything. Happy anniversary!! I love you so much,” Victoria wrote.<\/p>\n
David, meanwhile, posted throwback images with his own tribute, similarly referring to the Beckham clan as a whole despite its fractured state.<\/p>\n
The former Manchester United midfielder penned: “29 years together, 27 years married & you have given me everything I could ever wish for.. Our proudest achievement will always be our family.”<\/p>\n
The couple are parents to Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14.<\/p>\n
While the gestures may seem loving, they may backfire when it comes to building bridges with their estranged eldest son. <\/p>\n
Brooklyn, who torched ties with his parents in January in an explosive statement, has reportedly been left incensed by his parents’ previous references to him on social media.<\/p>\n
The budding chef blocked both David and Victoria on Instagram shortly before Christmas last year.<\/p>\n
His legal representatives subsequently contacted the Beckham family’s team to request that all future communication be handled through lawyers.<\/p>\n
Despite his parents continuing to refer to him in their social media posts, Brooklyn has not engaged in well over a year. <\/p>\n

The family rupture became public at the start of the year when Brooklyn released a scathing six-page statement confirming he had severed ties with his parents.<\/p>\n
In the explosive declaration, he accused David and Victoria of placing “Brand Beckham” above genuine family bonds and described his parents and siblings as “performative.”<\/p>\n
The aspiring chef alleged his mother and father had exerted control over him throughout much of his life and had actively tried to undermine his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn also claimed Victoria had caused him embarrassment by dancing “inappropriately” with him during the first dance at his 2022 wedding.<\/p>\n
Signs of the rift had emerged months earlier, with Brooklyn notably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebrations and failing to acknowledge either parent’s birthday on social media.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, David and Victoria’s romance began in 1997 when the Spice Girl, then known as Posh Spice, attended a Manchester United match with bandmate Mel C.<\/p>\n
David has recalled how she gave him her phone number written on a train ticket – a memento he still possesses.<\/p>\n
Their early courtship required secrecy, with the pair meeting in car parks to avoid media attention at Victoria’s manager’s request.<\/p>\n

They became engaged in 1998 and wed on July 4, 1999, at Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin in a Robin Hood-themed ceremony costing an estimated \u00a3750,000.<\/p>\n
Just 29 guests witnessed the couple exchange vows, with Victoria wearing a Vera Wang gown reportedly worth \u00a382,000.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn was born four months before the wedding, born in March 1999, making him the first of their four children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David and Victoria Beckham celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary today with heartfelt Instagram tributes to one another.
