Brooklyn Beckham’s birthday snub of dad David Beckham is “appalling” — and his family “just can’t deal with this nonsense anymore,” according to a source.
Despite reports that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, were rebuffed after asking to see David in London last week, Page Six is told the couple made no attempt to see the superstar athlete during his 50th birthday celebrations amid a “very sad” and deepening family rift.
Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, are said to be very close to her billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia, but “never go to [Beckham] family events anymore” or visit David and Victoria, a source in the know revealed.
The young couple has not been pictured with Brooklyn’s parents or siblings since Christmas.
“In some ways, this is no surprise, but I guess no one could believe they would actually snub David’s 50th when there were so many events they could have gone to, or ways to spend time with the family … their behaviour has been appalling,” the source said.
Brooklyn failed to turn up for any of his father’s festivities, which culminated in a star-studded party in London on Saturday night with guests including Tom Cruise.
LA-based Brooklyn and Nicola, who did not attend the Met Gala on Monday night despite rumours they were on the guest list, also missed David’s first 50th celebration at Cipriani Downtown in Miami in March.
And Brooklyn — who is a hot sauce entrepreneur — did not join his parents and siblings, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, at Victoria’s fashion show in Paris in March.
“David and Victoria always turn up for Brooklyn and Nicola,” the source said, “whether it’s for the launch of his hot sauce brand or her movie premiere. This is just very sad.”
However, “Brooklyn’s family adores him and will always be there for him. They just can’t deal with this nonsense anymore,” the source said. “David and Victoria just want Brooklyn to remember who he is because this behaviour isn’t him and isn’t how he was raised.”
Things have never been the same, we’re told, since the Peltz-Beckhams’ now-infamous Palm Beach wedding in April 2022, when Nicola failed to wear a wedding gown by Victoria, as originally planned.
Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, later launched legal action against wedding planners Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba of Plan Design Events, claiming they could not handle the expectations of the star-studded guest list, which “included more than five hundred people, including numerous celebrities, athletes, dignitaries and other influential individuals.”
The planners retorted with a counter suit, alleging that Nicola and her mother, Claudia, didn’t want Brooklyn’s family to know how messy the planning process had gotten.
The case was settled in September 2023. As part of the settlement, PDE made a donation in the name of Nicola and Brooklyn to the CARE Ukraine Crisis Fund. Both the initial and counterclaims were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be reopened.
There have also been reports that Brooklyn had fallen out with his younger brother Romeo over the latter’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull, claiming Brooklyn previously had a romantic connection with her. But sources previously told Page Six this is untrue.
“It’s just an excuse to find an argument,” scoffed the source, who called the rumours about the brothers “nonsense.”
As part of his birthday celebrations, David had a family dinner last week followed by a party at three-Michelin-starred Core in London, which was attended by Eva Longoria, Guy Ritchie, Gordon Ramsey, and Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise — who are rumoured to be dating.
Things got so raucous that The Sun reported the party was shut down at 3.30am amid noise complaints.
