Amid the ‘Beckham family feud’, Victoria and David Beckham will miss out on their son Brooklyn Beckham‘s birthday celebrations. Set to turn 27 on Wednesday, 4 March, the budding chef and Cloud23 founder will likely spend the day with his wife, Nicola Peltz, in the US. The couple, who are currently estranged from Brooklyn’s family, are based in LA – more specifically, Beverly Hills – after purchasing a luxurious $16 million villa in the exclusive Trousdale Estates community.

As for Victoria and David, the A-listers – who are also parents to Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14 –  are gearing up for a trip to Paris next week, with Victoria scheduled to debut a brand-new collection. In town for the Fall/Winter 2026 women’s ready-to-wear slate, which runs from 2 March to 10 March, all eyes will be on Victoria’s namesake label. In previous years, designer VB has turned her runways into a family affair, with David and their children sitting in the front row for support.

While Brooklyn and Nicola were once part of that family tradition, the duo, who tied the knot in 2022, have been noticeably absent from Victoria’s shows in recent years, with their last known appearance at the Victoria Beckham Paris Fashion Week ready-to-wear spring runway in September 2024. 

Will Victoria and David post a birthday tribute after the Beckham family feud?

Following Brooklyn’s explosive statement in January, Victoria and David have remained silent on the notion of a Beckham family feud. Nonetheless, it has been reported that Brooklyn sent a cease and desist letter to his parents in 2025, requesting that they only contact him via lawyers. It was also alleged that the 26-year-old did not wish to be mentioned in any social media posts. As a result, it’s unknown if Victoria and David will send their son a birthday message online next Wednesday.

Providing some insight on the rift in January, Brooklyn broke his silence on the situation by stating that he did not wish to reconcile with Victoria and David, while accusing his family of treating his wife, Nicola, poorly. “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,” Brooklyn began. 

“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.” Accusing his parents of controlling narratives in the press, Brooklyn added: “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that 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.”

Explaining that his parents had not been supportive of his wedding to Nicola in 2022, Brooklyn said: “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.”

He concluded: “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 have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.” 

Brooklyn’s statement in full

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. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that 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. 

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, which 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. 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. 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. 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. 

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. 

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 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.
