David Beckham has devised a plan to help mend the rift between his sons Brooklyn and Romeo after being left devastated by the rumoured fallout. The football icon has long prided himself on his tight knit family, yet his world has been rocked by a divide.
With his 50th birthday looming, David is keen for his boys to put their differences aside and come together for the milestone occasion. It has left David to come up with a grand plan Brooklyn and Romeo surely won’t be able to resist.
Things all came to blows for the Beckham clan when Romeo introduced his new girlfriend Kim Turnbull to the family. Unfortunately for Romeo, older brother Brooklyn has a past with Kim as they used to be super close when she dated pal Rocco Ritchie.
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz are said to not be keen on Kim and have shown their feelings by snubbing family events. For years, all the Beckhams have got together for their many celebrations yet Brooklyn has decided to rock the boat.
He failed to attend David’s pre-birthday bash in Miami last month, which included guests such as football legend Lionel Messi and former supermodel Cindy Crawford.
Neither Brooklyn or Nicola publicly wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday last week, which is highly unusual when compared to previous years. The couple allegedly believe Romeo’s new girlfriend does not have the right intentions when it comes to dating him.
However, mum Victoria is said to adore Kim and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel. Amid the fractious relationships in the Beckham family, David is said to have come up with a masterplan to get his sons back together again.
“David is going all out for his 50th,” a source told the Sun. “Brooklyn and Nicola are on the list, as well as Romeo, Cruz and Harper, and his and Victoria’s parents – it’s a proper family affair.”
The sports star is expected to bring his sons together at triple-Michelin starred restaurant Core in west London next month. It will be the first time the family have been together following the multiple reported snubs.
In another twist, neither Victoria, who is known for using social media to praise her children and celebrate milestones, or David, commented on Brooklyn and Nicola’s third wedding anniversary.
And according to reports, Cruz and Romeo failed to congratulate the couple as well. Instead, Brooklyn shared a picture of a bouquet of flowers sent to them from his in-laws Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heffner.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source opened up on the birthday plans and said: “David adores his sons and he is so, so proud of how close they are. He loves having a happy family that loves spending time together.”
They added: “Family is everything to him. He is a working class boy who grew up with strong connections to his grandparents and parents, and he loves nothing more than to see his boys, and Harper, being so close.
“While the location will be perfect and stunning, what he wants most is for his family to be around him, happily getting along. Right now, though, things aren’t great. All everyone around them hopes is that they can mend any issues in time for the big day – for David.”
