David Beckham has shared a telling post amid the rumoured family feud with his son Brooklyn Beckham. The football icon took to his Instagram to share an unseen photo of his eldest son following reports of strain in the famous clan.
They have long prided themselves as being a tight knit family as David and wife Victoria’s children have a tight bond. However, with David’s 50th birthday looming there have been reports of a fallout between Brooklyn and brother Romeo.
The rift is believed to be centred around Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull, who reportedly dated Brooklyn nearly nine years ago. It has got so deep that there are fears Brooklyn may even miss his dad’s milestone celebration next month.
However, David has appeared to try and squash any rumours of fraction in his family as he marked Easter. The dad-of-four shared a series of throwback snaps of his children celebrating the occasion over the years.
David included a black and white photo of Brooklyn when he was much younger as he held onto a large chocolate Easter bunny. The former England ace also shared similar snaps of his other children Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
Rumours of a rift in the family came after Brooklyn and wife Nicola Petlz skipped a number of family gatherings and David’s landmark birthday may be another family occasion to add to the list.
Nicola and Brooklyn 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.
Adding insult to injury, neither Brooklyn or Nicola publicly wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday last Thursday, which is highly unusual when compared to previous years.
Brooklyn and Nicola allegedly believe Romeo’s new girlfriend Kim does not have the right intentions when it comes to dating him. However, Victoria is said to adore Kim and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel.
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 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.”
Another friend revealed: “It would absolutely destroy David if any fall-outs carry on and become big deals. It would be the best birthday present ever for David to have all of his children and their partners happily having a wonderful time together. That’s what really puts a smile on his face.”
