He said he no longer wanted to be associated with \u201cBrand Beckham\u201d and described his parents and siblings, Romeo Beckham, Cruz Beckham, and Harper Beckham, as \u201cperformative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"ePYau_xeKoD\" data-wc=\"48\">Meanwhile, the rest of the family came together to celebrate David\u2019s birthday in a more lighthearted way, surprising him with an unusual group gift: chickens. Victoria Beckham shared a video on Instagram showing David meeting the birds for the first time at their <a class=\"hm-link ho-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/celebrities\/20260304887463\/david-victoria-beckham-celebrate-brooklyn-birthday\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-body-link\">countryside estate in the Cotswolds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"efz0kzeZmfo\" data-wc=\"55\">In the clip, David, wearing a cowboy hat, is seen smiling as he lifts the chickens out of their boxes and helps settle them into their coop. Filming from behind the camera, Victoria can be heard saying, \u201cIt&#8217;s David&#8217;s birthday and this is me and the kids bought him, from the boys, they&#8217;re so pretty!\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"eCaR55Hubr6\" data-wc=\"11\">She captioned the post, \u201cHappy Birthday, we love you so much!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"eoFMEypi_bO\" data-wc=\"30\">Romeo also posted a tribute, sharing throwback photos with his dad and writing, \u201cHappy birthday dad, love you so much, thank u for everything you do,\u201d and <a class=\"hm-link ho-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/celebrities\/20260304887463\/david-victoria-beckham-celebrate-brooklyn-birthday\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-body-link\">\u201cMy best mate.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"e77b1S-FK1c\" data-wc=\"25\">Cruz marked the occasion on his Instagram Story with photos of the two of them on a yacht, adding, \u201cHappy birthday I love you xxx.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"eLnHgdOoyXM\" data-wc=\"18\">Harper followed with her own heartfelt message, writing, \u201cHappy birthday to the best daddy in the whole world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eAyDvkW6kQB\" data-wc=\"36\">\u201cI honestly could never ask for a better role model too, you are always here for me and I will always be here for you too anytime anywhere have the best day ever, you deserve everything\u201d.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eKZTr8Ne-Pn\" data-wc=\"33\">This is not the first time David has received chickens as a gift. <a class=\"hm-link ho-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/celebrities\/20260318890363\/david-beckham-brooklyn-beckham-miss-each-other-beverly-hills\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-body-link\">Victoria previously surprised him<\/a> with some for Christmas, and he later set up a hen enclosure on their expansive property.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eN3_IcMjN6g\" data-wc=\"27\">The birthday celebration comes amid ongoing tension within the family. Victoria recently addressed the situation publicly for the first time following Brooklyn\u2019s comments about their strained relationship.<\/p>\n<p id=\"e3Ls2ybDApT\" data-wc=\"23\">\u201cI think that we&#8217;ve always&#8230; We love our children so much. We&#8217;ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be.<\/p>\n<p id=\"e7QRwYEKZbV\" data-wc=\"43\">\u201cAnd you know, we&#8217;ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we&#8217;ve ever tried to do is <a class=\"hm-link ho-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/celebrities\/20260120878995\/david-beckham-breaks-silence-brooklyn-beckham-explosive-statement\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-body-link\">protect our children and love our children<\/a>. And you know, that&#8217;s all I really want to say about it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eSMRLO_HqPI\" data-wc=\"27\">Reports say David and Victoria have not spoken to Brooklyn since last May, when he and his wife Nicola Peltz did not attend David\u2019s 50th birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eMQRHxhlwwW\" data-wc=\"47\">Since then, communication between the two sides has reportedly become more formal, with Brooklyn and Nicola\u2019s lawyers requesting that any contact go through them. Not long before Christmas, Brooklyn also blocked his parents on Instagram, and in January, he shared a lengthy six-page statement on social media.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ekFVwh2394z\" data-wc=\"42\">In it, he alleged that David and Victoria had controlled much of his life, attempted to come between him and Nicola, and even left him uncomfortable during his wedding when he claimed his mother danced \u201cinappropriately\u201d with him during their first dance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While Brooklyn Beckham stayed quiet online, his siblings made sure to publicly celebrate their dad\u00a0David Beckham as he&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,3247,100,99,1214,50040,3998,6716,9,24,63,3246],"class_list":["post-217786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-beckham","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-birthdays","tag-celebrity-families","tag-david-beckham","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-victoria-beckham"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
