Brooklyn Beckham accused of subtle dig at mum Victoria after Mother's Day snub

Yesterday (15 Mar) marked Mother's Day in the UK, but it was likely a bittersweet affair for Victoria Beckham after she was once again 'snubbed' by her eldest son, Brooklyn.

The 26-year-old revealed back in January that he and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, had long been at loggerheads with his parents, whom he accused of valuing 'public promotion and endorsements above all else', adding that 'Brand Beckham comes first'.

Brooklyn's remarks were shared in a bombshell statement he uploaded to Instagram following long-standing rumours of a family fallout.

Neither he nor Nicola has since interacted with his parents online - a pattern that continued over the weekend, despite Sunday marking Mother's Day in his home country.

As opposed to sharing a gushy tribute to his fashion designer mother, however, Brooklyn - who resides in the US full-time - sang the praises of his mother-in-law, Claudia Heffner Peltz.

Taking to Instagram, the semi-pro photographer shared a snap alongside The Beauty actress, Nicola, and Claudia, whose birthday was also celebrated across the weekend.

"Happy birthday to the best mother in law x love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day," Brooklyn captioned the post.

It came weeks after the amateur chef accused his mother of trying 'endlessly to ruin' his relationship with Nicola, whom he married in 2022, claiming Victoria had both refused to design her dress ' at the eleventh hour', and 'hijacked' the couple's first dance.

He wrote in his scathing January statement: "In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife, but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.

"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone."

Thankfully for Victoria, however, her 50-year-old husband and football legend David Beckham gave her a special shout-out online this weekend, uploading several photographs of her pregnant.

"Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing mummy....." the former sportsman wrote. "You are an inspiration in all the ways a mum should be to our 4 amazing children.. We love you so much and I'm so thankful for the family we have created.

"Have a special Mother's Day because if there's one person that deserves it it's you. I love you."

David also shared a birthday tribute for his eldest on social media last month, posting a number of photos of Brooklyn as a child.

"27 today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you x," he wrote. Victoria, 51, also shared the post, adding: "Happy Birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much."

The ex-Manchester United star didn't tag his son, however, who reportedly issued him and mum-of-four Victoria with a cease and desist letter last year.

The legal document would have warned the couple to stop engaging in specific activities that could be seen as impacting Brooklyn and his spouse's rights, demanding that they abstain from breaching the boundaries in the future, setting out the possible consequences if this occurs.

In most cases, these letters hinge on cases of copyright infringement, but also cover defamation, as well as both electronic and online social media platform communication, amounting to harassment.

In his shocking statement, Brooklyn insisted: "I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."
