David Beckham’s 50th birthday party ‘shut down’ over noise complaints in Kensington

David Beckham’s 50th birthday party was cut short after noise complaints prompted council intervention in Kensington.

David Beckham’s milestone 50th birthday celebration was reportedly cut short by Kensington and Chelsea Council after neighbours complained about loud music that continued into the early hours.

The ex-England footballer hosted a glamorous dinner at Core by Clare Smyth, a three Michelin-star restaurant in West London, on Saturday night.

A-list guests included Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria, Ana de Armas, Gordon Ramsay, Guy Ritchie, and Gary Neville.

Victoria Beckham and three of the couple’s four children — Romeo (22), Cruz (20), and Harper (13) — were in attendance, though Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz were notably absent, fuelling ongoing speculation of a family rift.

According to The Sun, the event “really went off,” with music escalating in volume as the night wore on.

By 3:35am, two council officers had arrived at the scene, reportedly advising staff to keep disruption to a minimum. One onlooker claimed, “Some neighbours leaned out their windows trying to find out where the racket was coming from.”

Following the visit, the music was immediately turned off.

A spokesperson for Kensington and Chelsea Council confirmed officers gave noise-reduction advice. “We have a very responsive and professional team who investigate noise complaints and take action where necessary,” they said.

Despite the interruption, the Beckham clan appeared to enjoy the evening, which featured a custom menu by chef Clare Smyth and even a performance of Islands in the Stream by Cruz Beckham. Romeo also delivered a heartfelt speech in tribute to his father.

According to insiders, David and Victoria were “upset” over Brooklyn’s absence but felt the night was otherwise a success.
