The British designer sends messages to get closer to her eldest son as rumors of family tensions grow.
Victoria Beckham is doing her best to keep her family together amid a growing feud with her eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz . In a gesture that many have interpreted as an attempt at reconciliation, the designer shared a family photo on social media in which Brooklyn appears alongside his siblings , maternal grandparents, and Victoria herself, with the message: “We love you all so much!”
Although the image appeared to celebrate Victoria’s father, Tony Adams’ 78th birthday , the real message went beyond a congratulatory message. Brooklyn , who lives in the United States with Nicola’s wealthy family, was intentionally included in the post, despite his physical absence and the estrangement that has deeply hurt both Victoria and David Beckham .

The Beckhams seek family reconciliation
Sources close to the family say both parents are “devastated” by the emotional rift that has formed with their eldest son. David, in particular, fears history repeating itself , recalling his troubled relationship with his own father, Ted, from whom he was estranged for years before reconciling after a serious health problem in 2007.
Over the weekend, Victoria posted several family photos filled with nostalgia and warmth . One shows her hugging her children in a throwback scene, shortly after the birth of Harper, the youngest of the family. Meanwhile, David dedicated a heartfelt message for Mother’s Day in the US , highlighting Victoria’s importance as a mother and, once again, including Brooklyn in his message, despite her absence.

Victoria and David Beckham’s efforts to reunite with their son Brooklyn
But what should have been a joyous series of celebrations for David’s 50th birthday was marred by Brooklyn and Nicola’s continued absence from events . From a fishing trip in Scotland to an exclusive London event, the couple failed to attend any of the occasions, which would have further exacerbated the family conflict .
According to sources close to the family, Nicola has been seen as an influence that distances Brooklyn from his family . Friends of the Beckham circle claim that Brooklyn has left behind old friendships in the UK to follow Nicola’s lifestyle in Los Angeles . Some even claim that she avoids attending family gatherings where Romeo’s current partner, Kim Turnbull, is present, fueling unfounded rumors about her past with Brooklyn.
The final efforts will be the ones that bring the reward for the Beckhams.
Victoria, who according to those close to her is suffering “sleepless nights” due to the situation, feels betrayed. Those close to her say she considers Nicola a conflictive figure who has shattered the family harmony. However, both she and David continue to send public messages of affection , making it clear that they are willing to welcome Brooklyn back with open arms.
