Tensions within the Beckham family appear to be growing after Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s reported effort to privately reconnect with David Beckham ahead of his 50th birthday was turned down by family members. According to sources, the couple flew to London last week intending to celebrate the milestone with David in a quiet, personal setting.

The pair reportedly reached out to the Beckham family in advance, hoping to arrange a meeting before the official birthday celebration. However, they were informed they would need to attend the public event if they wanted to see David. Unwilling to appear at the larger gathering, Brooklyn and Nicola chose not to participate in the festivities.

Sources close to the situation suggest that the couple had hoped to avoid the public spotlight and mend relationships away from the media.

A major source of tension continues to be the relationship between Brooklyn and his brother Romeo. The two are not currently on speaking terms, reportedly due to Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull—who once dated Brooklyn. Though the past relationship is long over, Brooklyn is said to remain sceptical of Turnbull’s place in the family, while David and Victoria Beckham have fully embraced her.

Photos shared by Victoria from the party, captioned “Creating special memories with family and friends,” did not mention Brooklyn or Nicola, reinforcing the couple’s noticeable absence. Observers have interpreted this as a subtle nod to the ongoing divide.
