Father’s Day can be an emotional one, especially when there’s tension behind the scenes.
And this year, David Beckham used the moment to reach out not just to his fans, but directly to his children—especially his eldest son, Brooklyn.
A Quiet Yet Powerful Olive Branch
On Sunday, David posted a touching tribute on Instagram for Father’s Day, filled with throwback snapshots of his family laughing together in happier times.
The message wasn’t just sweet—it carried an emotional undercurrent. The 50-year-old football icon wrote:
“My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day, I will always be here for you no matter what.”
Even though Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were notably absent from David’s 50th birthday bash earlier this year—and haven’t said a word publicly about his recent knighthood—David made sure to include Brooklyn in both the photos and the sentiment.
Victoria Joins In with a Subtle Gesture
Victoria Beckham also took to Instagram to mark Father’s Day with a post that seemed just as meaningful.
She praised David as “the best daddy there is” and included Brooklyn in many of the images, despite the ongoing cold front between them.
“You always lead with love and our four beautiful children are a reflection of that,” she wrote, tagging all four kids, including @brooklynpeltzbeckham.
While the rift hasn’t been addressed publicly, the Beckhams appear to be using special occasions to send peaceful, open-hearted messages—at least for now.
A Major Milestone for “Sir David”
This Father’s Day also came on the heels of a big moment in David’s life: he was officially knighted in the King’s Birthday Honours list, after years of waiting.
That means Victoria now carries the title “Lady Beckham,” a detail she celebrated with a gushing tribute to her husband.
“You’ve always been my knight in shining armour,” she posted alongside a romantic photo.
“But now it’s official. Sir David!!! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.”
She went on to praise David’s kindness, humility, and dedication to family—though once again, Brooklyn made no public comment or post acknowledging the honour.
Cruz Speaks Up While Brooklyn Stays Silent
While Brooklyn kept quiet, his younger brother Cruz had no hesitation showing love.
He responded to his dad’s post with:
“You mean the world to us and inspire us every single day, Dad. I love you.”
Romeo and Harper haven’t commented publicly, but they’ve been consistently involved in family celebrations over the past year, unlike Brooklyn who has kept a noticeable distance.
What’s Really Going On Behind the Scenes?
Reports of a growing rift between Brooklyn and his parents have circulated ever since his wedding to Nicola Peltz, with stories of tension around family involvement and control.
Their absence from recent milestones—David’s birthday and now his knighthood—has only deepened speculation.
Despite the distance, David and Victoria seem determined to keep the lines of communication open, even if it’s through quiet messages on social media.
Whether Brooklyn will respond—or reach back—remains to be seen.
