Brooklyn Beckham ditches dad’s birthday for second year as tensions grow
Brooklyn Beckham once again appeared to snub his father David Beckham’s birthday this year amid his ongoing feud with his parents.
Marking his 51st birthday on Saturday, May 2, the former English footballer was showered with love from family, friends, and fans across the globe.
Yet, much like last year, David’s birthday appeared incomplete, with his eldest son absent from the celebrations and not sharing a birthday message.
In 2025, the Beckham family patriarch celebrated his milestone 50th birthday with a star-studded party attended by loved ones and high-profile guests.
To everyone’s surprise, Brooklyn, 27, skipped the event, further fuelling rumours of an ongoing fallout within the family.
Brooklyn Beckham’s shocking claims about parents
The snub comes after the aspiring chef spoke out about the family feud for the first time, delivering a scathing six-page statement about his parents.
“I have been silent for years and have made every attempt 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,” he wrote at the time.
Brooklyn added, “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.”

Furthermore, he alleged that David and Victoria Beckham prioritise public promotions and endorsements above everything 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,” he noted.
Brooklyn also claimed that Victoria Beckham sabotaged his first dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz, alleging that the former Spice Girls member acted inappropriately.
