Victoria and David Beckham sparked fresh controversy this Mother’s Day by including their estranged son Brooklyn Beckham in tributes despite his public request to be kept at a distance from the family.
On Mother’s Day, celebrated recently across the US and Australia, David Beckham posted a heartfelt message naming Victoria Beckham “the best mum,” while Victoria shared images of lavish gifts from David, including a bouquet of white roses and baby hand and foot casts at their Holland Park home.
The posts come as a shock to many, given Brooklyn’s dramatic public break from the family earlier this year. In January, Brooklyn announced he no longer wished to be part of “Brand Beckham,” accusing his parents of performing for public acclaim, and controversially criticizing Victoria’s behavior at his wedding.
Brooklyn’s estrangement has been underscored by his strong adoration for his wife Nicola Peltz’s family, billionaire Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Peltz, frequently sharing intimate family moments on social media.
Just days before Mother’s Day, Nicola posted a warm family photo with Brooklyn and her billionaire parents, captioning it “My whole heart and world in one photo,” intensifying the media spotlight on the Beckham feud.
The presence of five baby hand-and-foot casts in Victoria’s posts baffled followers, sparking speculation about an unknown fifth child, though the Beckhams did not clarify.
Backlash and Brand Beckham Defense
Brooklyn publicly condemned his parents for placing the family’s brand above genuine relationships, saying, “Brand Beckham comes first,” and accusing the couple of controlling his public image via performative social media and events.
In response, Victoria addressed the issue during a recent interview on the Aspire podcast with entrepreneur Emma Grede. She insisted that “Brand Beckham” was never their intention, describing their careers evolving organically. She said the couple has always pursued separate ventures: David growing the Inter Miami football club and Victoria building her fashion and beauty empire.
“When David and I first met it was never our intention to start a brand… we don’t have any deals together. David does what David does, I do what I do,” Victoria said, defending their approach to family and business.
What Happens Next?
As tensions simmer publicly, the Beckham family drama shows no signs of quick resolution. With Mother’s Day posts intensifying scrutiny, fans and media alike will watch closely for any shifts in the dynamic between Brooklyn and his famous parents.
