Brooklyn Beckham reportedly did not attend father David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration over the weekend, continuing speculation of distance within the family. David Beckham, who reached the milestone age on May 2, hosted a party Saturday evening in London.
The absence of the eldest Beckham son was notable in family photos shared from the event. While David, Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper were featured, Brooklyn Beckham did not appear in the portraits.
Family members including David's parents, David Sr. and Sandra, and Victoria's parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams, were present for the celebrations. David's sisters, Joanne and Lynne, were also spotted.
Reports indicated that Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, also skipped earlier birthday events for David, including a private gathering at the family's Cotswolds home and a trip to France. Sources suggested Brooklyn had flown back to the United States earlier in the week.
The absence has fueled discussion regarding an alleged rift within the Beckham family. Earlier speculation arose when Brooklyn also reportedly missed a previous birthday gathering for David in March.
Family members present at the London party included Romeo Beckham, 22, and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 22, along with Cruz Beckham, 20, and his partner Jackie Apostel, 29. Harper Beckham, 13, also attended.
Victoria Beckham shared images from the London event on social media, captioning a post with her husband, "Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all ❤️." The post tagged sons Romeo and Cruz and included a hashtag for Harper, but did not tag Brooklyn.
