David Beckham might be sending a peace signal to his eldest son, Brooklyn—but fans can’t help noticing that the Beckham family drama still seems far from over.
The soccer icon kicked off the New Year with an emotional message about his family on Instagram, sharing a throwback black-and-white photo of himself and Brooklyn in a temporary Story, captioned, “I love you all so much.” The post—fleeting and subtle—was quickly interpreted as a quiet olive branch after months of rumored tension between David and his 24-year-old son.
But fans were quick to notice something odd. When David posted a separate permanent carousel celebrating his massive 2025 achievements—his 50th birthday, his knighthood, and his MLS victory as a team owner—Brooklyn was completely missing. The caption gushed about his “incredible wife” and “amazing children,” but Brooklyn didn’t appear anywhere in the mix.
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Brooklyn was ringing in the New Year with wife Nicola Peltz and her family in the US, sharing cozy, loved-up photos that gave no hint of family friction. Nicola’s posts showed the couple celebrating with her parents, suggesting that the Beckhams’ ongoing rift wasn’t putting any damper on their festivities.
The social media cold war deepened when fans realized Brooklyn had unfollowed—and even blocked—his parents on Instagram. His younger brother, Cruz, fired back online, insisting that David and Victoria hadn’t cut off Brooklyn first. “They woke up blocked,” Cruz wrote, clarifying that the move had come from Brooklyn’s end.
Despite the drama, insiders say Brooklyn still has a soft spot for his grandparents and keeps in touch with them regularly. “His bond with them hasn’t changed,” a source told the Mirror UK.
Even so, David and Victoria reportedly refuse to give up. “They’ll always love him and keep reaching out,” one source claimed, hinting that the power couple is still holding onto hope for a family reunion somewhere down the line.
