If there\u2019s one thing we love to do, it\u2019s post cute photos with our loved ones on Valentine\u2019s Day, and, as Us Weekly taught us in 2002<\/a>, stars, they\u2019re just like us! Instagram feeds were flooded with posts from normies and the glitterati alike, showering their partners and kids and friends with love.<\/p>\n

Some went a bit further: Maya Hawke got married on Saturday to her longtime (I guess?) partner, Christian Lee Hutson. According to Page Six\u2019s trove of photos<\/a>, it was very New York City (they walked to their reception!), and a ton of Stranger Things cast members attended. (Not including David Harbour, even though he was also out and about<\/a> in NYC over the weekend. Interesting!)<\/p>\n

And other longtime faves of this column used Valentine\u2019s Day as an occasion for yet another topic: family feud mending and\/or furthering. Yes, I\u2019m obviously talking about Brooklyn Beckham\u2019s proud self-estrangement from his family. Less than a month ago, the eldest Beckham child\u00a0posted six very text-heavy Instagram Story slides detailing why he refuses<\/a> to reconcile with his family\u2014from the eye-roll-inducing \u201cmy mom wouldn\u2019t publicly share my wife\u2019s animal sanctuary posts\u201d to the sadder \u201cI don\u2019t want to just be a part of the family business\u201d (those are not direct quotes). For Valentine\u2019s Day, he posted a selfie of himself and wife Nicola Peltz almost smooching. (Page Six deems it<\/a> \u201csteamy\u201d but Peltz is inexplicably wearing sunglasses I last saw available for purchase at a Claire\u2019s in 2006, which really ruins the sexiness factor, IMO.)<\/p>\n

Like almost everything Beckham has posted in the last two years, this has incredible wife guy energy while also being an extremely unsubtle and really weird dig at his parents: \u201cI will forever protect and love you,\u201d he wrote. As far as I can tell, all he\u2019s done to protect her is post Instagrams and not talk to his parents. And honestly, I think if Peltz needs protection, she\u2019d first turn to her father, Nelson Peltz (net worth: $1.5 billion, give or take a couple hundred million depending on the stock market), who can finance whatever lawsuit\/security detail\/self-defense class she wants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his little sister, 14-year-old Harper Beckham, tried to play peacekeeper, and posted a throwback photo of her hugging Brooklyn, posing with their other brothers, Cruz and Romeo. \u201cI love you all so much, words can\u2019t describe it,\u201d she wrote. On another old photo of the four siblings, she wrote, \u201cHappy Valentine\u2019s Day to the best big brothers in the whole wide world.\u201d Extremely sweet, but also kind of a bummer; Harper doesn\u2019t deserve to be caught in the weird emotional crosshairs! Won\u2019t someone think of the sweet baby sisters??<\/p>\n

Of course, the only reason we are seeing these pictures is because momma bear Victoria Beckham reshared them on her story (Harper\u2019s account is\u2014appropriately\u2014private), and I think we can safely assume she had some ulterior motives for doing so.\u00a0<\/p>\n
