‘Real reason’ why Brooklyn Beckham snubbed dad David’s 50th amid rumoured family feud

David Beckham threw a big birthday party this weekend to celebrate his landmark 50th birthday, but one of his sons was noticeably missing.

The Beckhams have always seemed like a close-knit family, but fans noticed that Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz appeared to miss the bash.

David hired out a fancy venue called Core to celebrate with his loved ones in Notting Hill, and was seen looking incredibly loved-up and dancing with his wife, Victoria Beckham.

Guests in attendance included Hollywood A-listers like Tom Cruise, Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria and more but his eldest son Brooklyn was missing, leading to rumours of a family rift.

Fans also noticed that Brooklyn didn't wish his father a happy birthday on social media, and he also didn't attend Victoria's birthday celebrations or publicly wish her a happy Mother's Day earlier this year.

A source told The Sun: "David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it. Tonight is all about celebration and love, and he is swimming in it."

It seems that Brooklyn had previously told his parents he would not be attending, but the source says 'David and Victoria desperately hoped he would change his mind'.

"Brooklyn is a really sweet boy and everyone loves him dearly," praised the source, adding that the family hopes the feud will come to an end soon," they added.

"In the mean time, everyone around David are doing all they can to give him a magical evening to remember."

Reports claim the couple also didn't turn up to David's other birthday celebrations in the UK and France.

The rest of the family went wine tasting at a vineyard before an intimate dinner at a restaurant in Paris.

Despite Brooklyn not sharing an Instagram post for his dad, David still acknowledged him by posting a whole host of photos from their life, calling his children his 'biggest accomplishment' in life.

He even said that the kids and wife Victoria are 'the reason I get out of bed each day'.

The former footballer wrote: "As I reflect on this Birthday I'm very grateful for many things in my life the teams I've played for, my teammates, managers, the fans, MY COUNTRY and being England captain, the children I have met over different charities I work with, my team in my business & the friends I have around me I feel truly blessed. But my biggest accomplishment is and will always be my family."

David praised: "My mum and dad who sacrificed so much for me to live my dream of becoming a footballer, my sisters who had to put up with following their brother around in the freezing cold watching me play football and my amazing nan and grandad... My wife and best friend of 28 years and my beautiful children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz & Harper you are the reason I get out of bed each day."

Some fans have speculated there is a 'feud' over his brother Romeo's new girlfriend, Kim Turnbull.

It's said that she previously dated one of Brooklyn's close friends when they were teenagers.

However, another source claimed: "This is nothing to do with Kim and is all about Nicola. All David and Victoria want is their son back - and they will be there to welcome him any time."

They added: "It's a terribly sad situation and it's been going on for a long time. They adore Brooklyn, their children are everything to them, but Brooklyn isn't talking to them.

"He isn't talking to the family and David and Victoria are heartbroken. It's now the end of the week and despite Brooklyn flying to London with Nicola with every intention of celebrating his dad's 50th birthday with him, he hasn't taken part in any of it.

"Weeks ago Brooklyn told them he would be there and they were expecting Nicola. Now David and Victoria have no idea what is going on. The French trip was to be the really special family time away but they didn't go. Then, after days of leaving his parents on tenterhooks, he and Nicola didn't go to Core either."

Tyla has contacted representatives for David, Brooklyn and Nicola for comment.
