Victoria Beckham appeared emotional during her Paris Fashion Week show on Friday. Her husband David and children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper attended to support her, but Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were noticeably absent.
Recent Social Media Activity
The couple has not posted anything about the event. Nicola shared a clip from The Beauty on her Instagram Stories and main feed. Brooklyn posted a photo of himself kissing his wife following his 27th birthday celebration earlier this week.
Family Outreach on Birthday
This absence follows family gestures toward Brooklyn around his birthday. Despite his earlier criticisms of “performative” social media, David and Victoria shared tributes using his nickname ‘Buster.’ David posted throwback photos, including one of him and Victoria holding baby Brooklyn in a pool and a black-and-white image with his young son. Victoria captioned the poolside photo: “Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn. I love you so much.”
Romeo and Cruz also posted their own messages. Cruz shared a childhood photo of the brothers and wrote: “I love you.” He expressed hope for reconciliation when speaking to reporters during a recent outing.
Ongoing Family Estrangement
Rumors of a Beckham family rift emerged last year when Brooklyn and Nicola stopped attending events and skipped public acknowledgments of milestones like birthdays and David’s knighthood.
In January, Brooklyn confirmed the feud and stated no plans for reconciliation. He cited “controlled narratives” and “inauthentic relationships,” adding: “Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations. We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family’.”
Brooklyn also accused his family of disliking Nicola Peltz Beckham. He claimed Victoria withdrew from designing her wedding dress at the last minute and disrupted their first dance. “In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead, my mum was waiting to dance with me,” he said. “She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”
