The strained relationship between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria, continues. Though David and Victoria publicly wished Brooklyn a happy 27th birthday on March 4, 2026, with Instagram posts and childhood photos, he reportedly wasn’t pleased with the gesture and felt upset by it.
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham’s birthday wishes for son Brooklyn
The former footballer posted on Instagram, sharing a tearful message and white heart emojis to celebrate someone turning twenty-seven. He wrote, “Happy birthday Bust, we love you.” His mum also shared a birthday message, posting a throwback photo with the caption, “Happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much,” along with a red heart emoji.
Most kids would be happy to see their parents expressing affection, but Brooklyn Beckham reportedly felt upset by his parents’ public displays of love. According to a source who spoke with Entertainment Tonight, he felt it came across as insincere and attention-seeking. The source said Brooklyn has repeatedly tried to discourage this kind of behavior from his parents, without success. So far, neither the Beckhams nor the photographer involved have publicly addressed these claims.
None of David and Victoria Beckham’s younger children – Cruz, Romeo, or Harper Seven – publicly wished their brother Brooklyn a happy 27th birthday on Instagram, which comes after reports of increasing family friction.
The conflict reportedly began because Brooklyn felt his parents overly controlled his life and prioritized the Beckham brand over his happiness. Specific issues included his mother’s behavior at his wedding – which his wife found upsetting – and claims that his parents were difficult during wedding planning and tried to create tension between him and his wife, Nicola Peltz. He detailed these grievances in a lengthy Instagram post.
