David Beckham says ‘we love you’ as he extends an emotional olive branch to son Brooklyn on his 27th birthday and uses his endearing childhood nickname

by

David Beckham posted a birthday message for his son, Brooklyn, who turned 27, despite their current distance.

Six weeks after Brooklyn announced he was cutting off contact with his family, his father, David, has publicly tried to reconcile things. He posted a birthday message for Brooklyn on Instagram.

David Beckham shared a childhood photo of his son Brooklyn and wished him a happy 27th birthday on Instagram. He affectionately referred to Brooklyn by his childhood nickname, ‘Bust,’ and tagged his wife, Victoria, in the post, adding, ‘We love you!’

Brooklyn, who now lives in the US with his actress wife (the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz), recently shared a six-page statement on Instagram explaining his wish to create distance from his family. The statement included serious and shocking claims.

In January, he told his social media followers that he believed his parents had intentionally undermined his marriage, and that they’ve consistently valued their public image more than their family.

He shared a six-page statement on Instagram explaining that his parents have always managed how the press tells the story of their family.

Growing up, my life was filled with showy displays on social media, obligatory family gatherings, and relationships that didn’t feel genuine.

He explained that he’s recently witnessed how far some people will go to spread lies in the media, often harming innocent individuals, all to maintain a false image. However, he’s confident that the truth will eventually be revealed.

Brooklyn wasn’t featured in his mother’s new Netflix documentary, and he didn’t attend its October premiere. This is different from how he and his wife, Nicola, supported his father by attending the London premiere of his documentary in 2023.

I was really surprised to hear that Brooklyn and his wife weren’t able to make it to David’s 50th birthday party back in May. And then, to not see them at Windsor Castle for his investiture ceremony in November – it felt like a significant omission, especially after waiting so long for him to receive that honor.

This isn’t the first time David has tried to reconcile with Brooklyn on Instagram. He previously attempted to mend their strained relationship by including a childhood photo of her in a New Year’s Eve family collage, and wrote a caption saying, ‘I love you all so much.’

The photoshoot also included David Beckham with his sons Romeo and Cruz, and daughter Harper. The last picture showed his wife Victoria and all four of their children, accompanied by the message: ‘You are my life.’

Victoria Beckham, 51, quickly re-shared the photo of Sir David and Brooklyn, adding a loving heart emoji.

Brooklyn’s birthday is happening quickly after the Beckham family finished celebrating his younger brother, Cruz, who recently turned 21 and had a series of enjoyable parties.

David and Victoria Beckham celebrated their son Cruz’s upcoming 20th birthday with a fancy party at The MAINE in Mayfair last month. The celebration included a three-course meal.

The entire Beckham family, except for Brooklyn, attended the event. This included Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14, along with their grandparents Tony and Jackie, aunt Joanne, and paternal grandmother, Sandra.

During the party, Victoria, Harper, and Jackie Apostel, Cruz’s girlfriend, gave a touching speech that made him cry.

David publicly celebrated his son Cruz’s birthday, praising him as kind, thoughtful, and incredibly loyal. However, his message seemed to hint at a distance with his oldest son, Brooklyn, revealing as much about that relationship as it did about his bond with Cruz.

The former Manchester United and England soccer player was one of the first in the family to wish the young musician a happy 21st birthday.

It seemed like Brooklyn was troubled by his very public decision to distance himself from his family, especially as he posted old videos of his younger brother, Cruz.

He wished his son a happy 21st birthday, remarking how quickly he’d grown up. He expressed immense pride in the person his son had become – kind, thoughtful, and incredibly loyal to those he cares about, making him truly special.

We’re so proud of the amazing life you’re building, Cruzie! Enjoy every moment – working hard, having fun, and living it to the fullest. We love you and hope your day is absolutely wonderful because you deserve all the happiness in the world.
