It was supposed to be a proud moment for the Beckham family — Victoria Beckham’s much-anticipated Netflix documentary had finally premiered in London.
Yet, while the fashion designer was surrounded by friends, family, and even some of her former Spice Girls bandmates, one familiar face was noticeably missing — her eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham.
Thousands of miles away in New York, Brooklyn seemed to be living a very different kind of night, steering clear of any family drama and dodging questions about the very documentary that put his mum back in the spotlight.
A Night Apart for the Beckhams
While Victoria, 51, and her close-knit inner circle gathered in London for the glamorous screening, Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, were enjoying the California sun in Beverly Hills.
The 26-year-old chef and eldest Beckham sibling hosted the Blue Moon Burger Bash 2.0 in New York alongside TV chef Rachael Ray, where he was all smiles — until his mother’s name came up.
When a Daily Mail reporter asked him for his thoughts on Victoria’s new Netflix show, Brooklyn reportedly turned his back and walked straight into the venue, choosing silence over family talk.
Just moments earlier, he had been happily chatting about other topics — a sharp change that didn’t go unnoticed.
Motorbike Bliss Across the Atlantic
As Victoria’s family and friends toasted her success, Brooklyn and Nicola were spotted cruising through Los Angeles on a striking red Ducati motorbike.
Nicola, 30, wrapped her arms around Brooklyn as the pair zipped through the streets, the actress flashing her dazzling diamond wedding ring while both donned matching helmets.
Brooklyn kept it casual in a zip-up hoodie, blue shorts, and Converse, showing off his tattooed legs.
Nicola, meanwhile, wore a fitted black top and yoga pants — effortlessly stylish in true Peltz fashion.
To onlookers, they looked inseparable, sharing their own private world far away from the London red carpet.
Victoria’s Emotional Moment and a Hint of Family Tension
Back in London, Victoria was radiant in a gown from her own collection, soaking in the cheers as her new docuseries premiered.
The event wasn’t just a career milestone — it was also an emotional reflection of her journey, from pop star to global fashion icon.
On stage, she thanked her husband David and their four children, including Brooklyn.
“My children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, Harper, and David… oh no, he’s not a child,” she joked.
“This process made me realise I am enough. It’s been a year of therapy and reflection.”
Her words struck a tender note, but for many, the moment was bittersweet — another reminder that the family hasn’t all been together in a long time.
A Mini Spice Girls Reunion Steals the Spotlight
Despite Brooklyn’s absence, Victoria’s night had its joyful moments.
Three of her Spice Girls bandmates — Geri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm — turned up to show their support.
Geri made her first public appearance with husband Christian Horner since reports surfaced about his massive £80 million Red Bull payout.
True to form, she wore her signature all-white outfit as she smiled for the cameras.
Melanie Brown, better known as Scary Spice, couldn’t make it due to work commitments in the U.S., but she sent Victoria flowers to celebrate the big night.
“Victoria is so happy the Spice Girls could be there,” a source shared.
“They’re such a huge part of her story — and they feature a lot in the documentary.”
Brooklyn and Nicola’s Subtle Cameo in the Documentary
Interestingly, Brooklyn and Nicola do appear briefly in Victoria’s Netflix series despite their strained relationship with the family.
In scenes from Paris Fashion Week 2024, the couple can be seen mingling in the background as Victoria reflects on her ambition to make her family proud.
Meanwhile, David and the rest of their children — Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14 — are featured more prominently, sitting front row at the fashion show and cheering on their mum.
A Family Divided by Distance and Disagreements
Brooklyn and Nicola’s distance from the rest of the Beckhams has been a talking point for over two years.
The couple’s absence at key events — including David’s 50th birthday celebrations and Romeo’s 23rd — hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Instead, Brooklyn has been sharing glimpses of his Los Angeles life with Nicola, seemingly focused on their own world.
Even when the pair renewed their wedding vows in Westchester County, New York, back in August, none of Brooklyn’s immediate family attended.
The snub only deepened speculation that Brooklyn may have quietly stepped away from “Brand Beckham” altogether.
From Wedding Tensions to Family Fallout
The rift reportedly began at Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish 2022 wedding, where tensions brewed between the Beckhams and the Peltz family.
Insiders said the Beckhams felt sidelined as the Peltzes took control of the event.
Since then, relations have cooled drastically, and Nicola has rarely been seen with her in-laws.
Now, with Brooklyn building his life in the U.S. and Victoria thriving in her fashion empire, it seems the once close-knit Beckham clan is learning how to live — and celebrate — on separate continents.
What’s Next for the Beckhams?
Despite the tension, sources close to the family insist there’s still love behind the silence.
“Victoria and David will always wish Brooklyn the best,” one insider revealed. “They just hope time will heal the distance.”
For now, Victoria’s Netflix documentary has reignited the spotlight on her personal and professional life — but it’s also reopened a question that lingers behind the glamour: can the Beckhams ever reunite as one big, happy family again?
