Brooklyn Beckham was treated to a sweet surprise from his wife Nicola Peltz on Wednesday (4 March), as he celebrated his 27th birthday.
However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed that he appears to have ignored the public birthday wishes from his parents, David, 50, and Victoria, 51, amid their ongoing family feud.
For those who need a reminder, last month, the eldest Beckham son issued a shock statement on social media, confirming fallout rumours and explaining that he 'didn't want to reconcile'.
Brooklyn accused his parents of 'controlling narratives in the press about their family,' as well as 'trying endlessly to ruin' his relationship with Nicola, including mum Victoria 'hijacking his first dance'.

Neither David and Victoria, nor Brooklyn's siblings, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, or Harper, 14, have issued any kind of public response to the statement.
However, they have extended a few olive branches to their estranged son, including on his birthday.
The former England footballer shared a throwback snap to Instagram of the couple with Brooklyn as a toddler in a pool on holiday, and wrote: "27 today. Happy birthday, Bust. We love you x,"
He tagged Victoria in the photo and later added another black and white photo of himself alongside his son, captioned: "Happy birthday, bust [red love-heart emoji]. Love ya bud."
Meanwhile, the fashion designer also shared two Story posts of her own - the same throwback holiday picture, alongside the caption: "Happy birthday, Brooklyn, we love you so much."
Her second picture was one of herself holding Brooklyn as a baby, penning alongside it: "Happy birthday, Brooklyn. I love you so much," with a slew of red love heart emojis.
As we say, though, it looks like there's been no public acknowledgment of the post, but it's important to remember that there could have been a private one behind the scenes.
Elsewhere, Brooklyn's wife Nicola, 31, shared a video to celebrate his big day, including a huge box of birthday donuts she'd gifted him.
The American actress wrote: "Happy birthday, baby. I hope all your dreams and wishes come true! You light up every room you walk into and anyone who knows you loves you. You’re the most special human, and i love being your wife. I love you I love you I love you."
Having reportedly been blocked by Brooklyn in December, David and Victoria were seemingly unable to tag their son in their birthday shout-outs
The Instagram posts come after reports that Brooklyn allegedly issued his parents a formal notice, restricting them from interacting with him on social media.
An anonymous individual previously told The Sun: "Truly, people do not know the full facts of this heartbreaking tale, and think Brooklyn was just being truculent when he blocked his parents.
"The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately, not publicly."
Meanwhile, another source allegedly said to The Mirror that Brooklyn's reported choice to block his parents and issue the legal letter was to protect his mental health.
According to the publication, he told friends how online posts from David and Victoria, in which he was tagged or mentioned, had impacted him.
The Mirror also reported that one of the main issues was that Brooklyn believes his mum and dad still see him as a child rather than an adult, as a friend allegedly said: “Even the Xmas post by his dad was of Brooklyn as a child.”
Tyla has contacted a representative for Brooklyn for comment.

According to Page Six, 'the build-up to the wedding was horrendous' and they 'can’t stand each other and don’t talk'.
