Brooklyn Beckham spent the weekend celebrating his father-in-law Nelson Peltz’s 83rd birthday, sharing smiling family photos and tributes that highlighted a contrast with his ongoing estrangement from the Beckham side of the family.

In a post shared by Nicola Peltz, she praised her billionaire father as the “most loving and supportive” while Brooklyn looked relaxed among his in-laws at the lavish party in Bedford, New York. He added his own tribute, writing, “Happy birthday Nelson x We love you.”

The event follows Brooklyn’s absence from David Beckham’s milestone 50th birthday celebrations, where he missed multiple gatherings including a trip to France and a Cotswolds party. He also failed to acknowledge his father’s or mother Victoria Beckham’s birthdays on social media, an unusual move for the typically public Beckham family.

While rumours of a rift have circulated since 2022, recent reports claim Brooklyn has told his family he wants “no contact” and has not responded to messages since David’s knighthood was announced. A source close to the family disputes the claim, calling it a distraction from David’s honour.

Despite tensions, Brooklyn acknowledged his grandmother Sandra Beckham’s 76th birthday with a throwback post, suggesting not all family ties have been severed. Meanwhile, Victoria shared a photo with her own parents, captioned, “Family weekends make me so happy.”
