Victoria Beckham makes bittersweet family statement amid Brooklyn feud

Victoria Beckham gushed about spending time with her family in a bittersweet moment amid her ongoing fallout with eldest son Brooklyn. The Spice Girl turned fashion designerhas been struggling with conflict in her beloved family as Brooklyn is said to have cut contact.

Things came to a head for the famous family when Brooklyn and his wife Nicola snubbed all of dad David's 50th birthday celebrations last month. The blows kept coming for Posh and Becks, however, as he also failed to acknowledge Victoria's birthday online, David's long awaited knighthood and Father's Day.

Reports have claimed Brooklyn has stopped respondingto his famous parents and siblings as he continues to show his loyalities to Nicola. However, things took a turn this week when Brooklyn reached out to his family for the first time on social media.

He posted a moving message to his paternal grandma, Sandra and said: “Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much.” Yet, insiders still believe there is no way he will bury the hatchet with his parents.

Amid the ongoing pain, Victoria made sure to surround herself with her family. She enjoyed time with her own parents as they lapped up the sunny weather.

Victoria, who smiled as she stood in between her mum and dad, declared: "Family weekends make me happy!!! Love you @jackie.adams."

Last month, the Mirror revealed how David and Victoria's eldest son was in London at the same time as his dad, but kept his visit a secret. A picture uploaded to Instagram showed Brooklyn sipping a pint in a pub, with bottles of his own-brand hot sauce on the table in front of him.

Innocuous enough to outsiders – but friends of the Beckhams recognised the distinctive light fittings and stark green walls in the background. One pal told us: “The picture was taken in London’s Wigmore pub, which is part of the Langham Hotel where the Beckhams have sometimes stayed.

“The fact that Brooklyn was in the country and failed to see any of his family was heartbreaking. And not only that, but here he was posting about it.”

Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, had flown to London for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler, which took place less than two miles from the Beckham family home in Holland Park.

Dad David was not far away – he was pictured with the King at the Chelsea Flower show that day – just three miles from the Wigmore.

A pal revealed: “Brooklyn had kept the visit quiet from not only his mum and dad but his siblings and extended family. It was terribly sad that he had flown thousands of miles to London and hadn’t engaged at all. It would have been very easy to meet up.”

To acquaintances of the family, the blame for what they believe are “performative” social media posts lies with billionaire heiress Nicola. But a source close to the couple hit back at suggestions Nicola is “controlling” her husband – and insisted Brooklyn is very much his own man.

They revealed: “She is not isolating him at all. He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. They are each other’s family.”
