Family drama in the Beckham household has once again captured headlines as Brooklyn Beckham seemingly skipped acknowledging his mother, Victoria, during last Sunday’s Mother’s Day.
The 27-year-old model and photographer, married to actress Nicola Peltz, instead posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to his mother-in-law, Claudia Heffner Peltz, who recently turned 71. Nicola Peltz shared several snaps of her birthday celebrations with her mother, including one featuring Brooklyn. On his Instagram story, Brooklyn wrote:
“Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law x. Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day.”
The absence of any Mother’s Day post for Victoria sparked attention from fans and the entertainment world alike—especially since Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, shared a childhood photo of Victoria kissing him, a subtle nod to their mum.
Cruz Hopes for Reconciliation
Just days prior, Cruz expressed hope for a potential family reconciliation. Out with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, he responded to paparazzi questions about his brother:
“Happy birthday,” he said when asked about Brooklyn’s birthday.
“Any chance you guys will repair the relationship? Are you hopeful for that?”
“Hope so,” Cruz added.
Birthday Drama Fuels Family Tensions
Earlier this month, Brooklyn celebrated his 27th birthday, with both Victoria and David Beckham posting Instagram photos commemorating the day, including childhood memories. However, according to an insider from E! News, Brooklyn and Nicola felt “disheartened” by the public posts, describing them as “performative actions” Brooklyn has long tried to avoid. The couple even sent a legal letter last summer requesting that all correspondence with his parents go through lawyers.
The Beckham family saga shows no signs of slowing down, with fans closely watching every move from Brooklyn, Victoria, and David. Will a reconciliation happen anytime soon? That question remains unanswered.
