David Beckham had to persuade son Brooklyn to attend mum Victoria’s Paris fashion show to help protect the family “brand” from rumours of a rift.
The former footballer and his fashion designer wife put on a united front on Friday, posing alongside three of their four children – Brooklyn, Cruz and Harper – as well as Brooklyn’s American wife Nicola.
But a source told how Brooklyn, who turned 24 yesterday, had initially turned down his mum’s invite to Paris Fashion Week because Nicola, 28 – who he married in April – was due to be filming movie Lola James in the US.
