Brooklyn Beckham was absent from David Beckham's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in Los Angeles on Friday 12 June, as the former England captain collected the 2,849th star with Victoria Beckham and three of their children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, in attendance. The family milestone landed in public view with the private rift still hanging over it, and Brooklyn's no-show was the clearest sign yet that the divide has not been smoothed over.
The Beckham family tensions have been playing out in public since January, when Brooklyn posted a series of Instagram Stories accusing his parents of putting 'Brand Beckham' ahead of family life and saying he did not want to reconcile. David and Victoria have both since kept their comments measured, with David later declining to expand on the situation in interviews and Victoria addressing the row only indirectly.
