David Beckham wishes son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham happy birthday amid family feud

Sir David Beckham has wished his son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham a happy birthday amid their ongoing family feud.

It comes after Brooklyn shared an explosive statement full of allegations against his family, notably his parents – former England captain Sir David and fashion designer and Spice Girl Victoria Beckham – where he accused them of putting “Brand Beckham” above all else.

Sir David posted photographs of the pair together to mark his son’s 27th birthday.

The first story had a photograph of Sir David, Lady Beckham and Peltz Beckham in a pool with the caption: “27 today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you.”

The following image was of just Sir David and Peltz Beckham, captioned: “Happy Birthday Bust, Love you.”

Peltz Beckham made global headlines in January after posting the scathing statement on Instagram, in which he announced he had no desire to “reconcile” with his family.

He went on to accuse his parents of controlling narratives in the press and “trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola Peltz Beckham ahead of their wedding in 2022.

He claimed Lady Beckham “hijacked” his first dance with his wife at their wedding and danced “inappropriately on me” in front of their guests, adding he had never felt more “uncomfortable or humiliated” in his life.

Peltz Beckham also alleged his wife had been “disrespected” by his family and was not invited to his father’s 50th birthday party.

Sir David and Lady Beckham, also known as Posh and Becks, have not responded directly to the statement and neither have their other children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
