Victoria Beckham has simple but poignant response as David Beckham sends message to estranged son Brooklyn
Victoria Beckham has added a quiet response to the ongoing drama surrounding her family, just hours after her husband's heartfelt post about their estranged son.
The alleged tension between Brooklyn and his parents has been bubbling away for months, with the family having not been pictured together in full since Christmas 2024.
Yesterday (December 31), David Beckham took to his Instagram story to share photos of all of his children, including an old snap featuring just him and Brooklyn.
The black and white photo features third in the series of photos, which begins with the words: "I'm so grateful for my family I love you all."

"I'm so lucky to have my amazing family," the former soccer star continues, before writing on the photo of him and Brooklyn: "I love you all so much."
David then adds: "I'm a very lucky Daddy."
Just hours later, the former Spice Girl took to the platform to repost David's New Year Story, although Victoria didn’t add any words of her own. Instead, she did include a single love heart emoji.
But they aren't the only high-profile family to have rift rumors, as we learned after Gordon Ramsay's daughter Holly married Brit Olympian Adam Peaty on Saturday (December 27) - which Victoria and David Beckham attended.
Peaty’s mom, Caroline, has alleged that she was excluded from her new daughter-in-law’s hen celebrations and said the situation has been deeply upsetting, claiming the newly married couple have 'cut her heart out'.
She has spoken about how the family fallout has left her 'so hurt', and revealed that she exchanged what she described as a 'hurtful' series of messages with her Olympic swimmer son in the run-up to the wedding.
During the reception, Gordon Ramsay is also said to have made a sharp remark that appeared to reference the strained family dynamic.
According to reports from The Sun, addressing Peaty, Ramsay referenced his wife of nearly 30 years, saying: "Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to."
Ramsay allegedly followed up by addressing his daughter directly with a tongue-in-cheek remark about Peaty's absent parents, adding: “Shame you don’t have the same.”
It might have felt all too familiar for guests David and Victoria Beckham.
Earlier this year Brooklyn, who is married to actor Nicola Peltz, was noticeably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in 2025.
The situation intensified when fans realised Brooklyn no longer followed either of his parents on Instagram.
While some assumed David and Victoria had unfollowed him in return, Cruz Beckham stepped in to correct the narrative.
“NOT TRUE,” he wrote. “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”
