Victoria and David Beckham’s eldest son, Brooklyn, appears to snub his parents’ virtual olive branch with defiant New Year’s post

ew Year is perfect time for a fresh start, and that’s certainly what Victoria and David Beckham had hoped after they put out a public message of love for their estranged son, Brooklyn. However, that appears to have been totally ignored by the 26-year-old, who continued to post a New Year’s social media update with no mention of his famous parents.

Brooklyn took to Instagram to share a single photo, which showed him and his wife ringing in 2026 at the exclusive E11EVEN nightclub. The budding chef wore a crisp white shirt and a beige hat on while Nicola showed a hint of fur in the snap. The pair shared a smile as they gazed into each other’s eyes at the stroke of midnight as confetti fell inside the venue. “Happy New Year [red love heart,” penned Brooklyn with the photo. Although he did not say anything inflammatory, he could be adding more fuel to the fire by not acknowledging his parents’ message.

Similarly, wife Nicola shared a simple New Year’s message featuring the same snap, as well as two more of the fun-filled night. One showing Brooklyn taking a selfie and another capturing him chatting or singing to the camera. The pair enjoyed a live performance from rapper, 50 Cent at the NYE club night.

David and Victoria’s olive branch

This comes hours after both his mother and father shared a loving message to their son. David shared an image of himself with a young Brooklyn, alongside the text: “I love you all so much,” and the former Spice Girl then shared the same post, adding a love heart to it. This is a clear olive branch after months of tension.

The initial cause of the fallout remains unidentified, but many have pointed out that the troubles began to simmer when Brooklyn wed Nicola. Since then, the feud has weighed heavy on Brooklyn’s parents and a source close to the family told HELLO!: “It’s just very sad and impossible to understand.”  Another source pointed out that David is keen for reconcillation. “David has reached out already and will fly out to see Brooklyn if necessary. They are going to put this fire out; David has said that he wants the dust to settle and for everyone to talk when emotions have settled down.”

In December, the feud ramped up another level with Brooklyn blocking his parents and siblings online. It was his younger brother Cruz that revealed that he, his brother, sister and his parents have been blocked by Brooklyn; however, Brooklyn still follows his aunts and grandparents on the platform.

Brooklyn has missed a fair few Beckham milestones since the drama, including his father’s lavish 50th celebration in May and his long-awaited knighthood ceremony in November. Also, it appeared neither David nor Victoria were invited to Brooklyn and his wife Nicola’s vow renewal ceremony, which took place in August 2025.

Victoria and David Beckham dance to ‘We’ve Got Nothing to be Sorry For’ as they send pointed Christmas message to Brooklyn

David and Victoria Beckham celebrated Christmas in style as usual this year, sharing a glimpse inside their festive celebrations at their idyllic Cotswolds home.

The couple appeared to be in high spirits, despite marking the first holiday season since their alleged estrangement from their eldest son Brooklyn.

Taking to Instagram on 26 December, Victoria shared a joyful video of her dancing with David on Christmas Day. Soundtracked by Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb’s Guilty, the loved-up moment showed David, 50, and Victoria, 51, embracing the festive mood.

The song choice raised a few eyebrows, with its famous lyrics about having “nothing to be sorry for” not going unnoticed.

The video comes just days after it was claimed Brooklyn would like his parents to apologise to his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.

After months of speculation, it appeared their family feud was confirmed when Brooklyn’s youngest brother Cruz revealed the whole family had been blocked on Instagram on 21 December. Taking to his own social media account, he explained the whole family had “woke up blocked”.

Speculation about a family rift dates back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding, where tensions were rumoured to have surfaced after the bride chose not to wear a dress designed by her future mother-in-law, but the situation escalated in 2025.

However, the Beckhams continue to put up a united front, and Victoria captioned the clip with her trademark affection, writing: “David and Victoria giving their very best Barry and Barbra on Christmas Day. Kisses from us both.”

The fashion designer and former Spice Girl also shared a series of happy family photos on her Instagram stories, tagging her family and writing “I love you all so much!”

One snap showed Victoria posing alongside Cruz, 20, while another captured a tender moment between David and their 14-year-old daughter, Harper. Romeo, 23, was also pictured in a photo with his dad, both smiling with wine glasses in hand.

Where did Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham spend Christmas 2025?

Brooklyn, 26, was noticeably absent from the UK celebrations and spent the festive season in the US with his wife Nicola, 30, and her billionaire family. The aspiring chef offered his own snapshot into Christmas Day abroad, sharing moments from a sunny tennis match in LA alongside professional player Reilly Opelka and Nicola’s brother, Bradley.
