Victoria Beckham was seen to be emotional on Friday as she hosted her annual Paris Fashion Week show. The Beckham matriarch was supported by husband David and three of her children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, but there were still two notable absences.
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz once again skipped the event, but given Brooklyn’s explosive statement back in January, it wasn’t surprising to not see the married couple in attendance.
The pair are yet to share any form of post commemorating the occasion, but they have both been active on social media. Nicola shared a short clip from The Beauty on her Instagram Stories, before sharing the same clip on her main feed. Meanwhile, Brooklyn shared a photo of himself kissing his wife after marking his 27th birthday earlier this week.

Recent olive branches
Brooklyn and Nicola’s latest snub comes after members of the family extended several olive branches to the eldest Beckham child.
Despite Brooklyn hitting out at “performative” social media posts in his statement against his family, both David and Victoria shared posts marking the aspiring businessman’s special day, even using his nickname of ‘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.”
WATCH: Cruz Beckham asked about reconciling with his brother
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.”
Cruz also said he was “hopeful” of a reconciliation with his older brother when he was asked by reporters after being spotted on a walk.
Brooklyn’s estrangement
Rumours started about a Beckham family feud last year after Brooklyn and Nicola stopped attending family events and failed to mark major milestones, including birthdays and David’s knighthood.
Then in January, Brooklyn confirmed an ongoing feud, stating that he had no intention of reconciling with his family, citing “controlled narratives” and “inauthentic relationships” among his reasons.

He claimed: “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’.”
However, one of the key parts of Brooklyn’s statement accused his family of disliking his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. He alleged that mum Victoria pulled out of designing Nicola’s wedding dress at the last minute, before “hijacking” the couple’s first dance at their wedding.
