- David Beckham has opened up about missing his family when he’s away from them amid his feud with son Brooklyn. The footballer, 50, and wife Victoria, 51, are currently locked in a feud with their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his heiress wife Nicola Peltz , 30, amid claims he has become increasingly estranged from the family after failing to attend any of his father’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.🤕👪🏻💔😒🎉💥🎊🔥
- When David Beckham turned 50 in May, the world expected a glamorous, star-studded celebration befitting a man who has transcended football to become a global cultural icon. And indeed, the celebrations were lavish, attended by celebrities, teammates, fashion figures, and lifelong friends. But amid the champagne toasts and flashing cameras, there was one glaring absence that overshadowed the festivities: Brooklyn Beckham, David and Victoria’s eldest son, now 26, did not attend.
Instead, Brooklyn remained away with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, the American heiress and actress, sparking widespread rumors that the Beckham family was fractured. Whispers of tension had circulated for months, with speculation ranging from disagreements about wedding plans, to generational clashes, to Nicola’s perceived dominance in Brooklyn’s life. Yet the absence at such a monumental milestone—David’s 50th birthday—transformed quiet murmurs into a public feud.
Now, months later, David Beckham himself has admitted the emotional toll. In a heartfelt confession, he revealed that he deeply misses his family when separated from them, a statement that hit harder against the backdrop of estrangement from Brooklyn. It was a moment of rare vulnerability for the footballer who has spent decades carefully balancing his roles as athlete, celebrity, businessman, and family man.
But the feud isn’t just about one missed party. It speaks to the complexities of family loyalty, marriage, generational identity, and fame in the modern world. For the Beckhams, whose lives have unfolded in the relentless gaze of global media, private struggles inevitably become public drama.
