- David and Victoria Beckham publicly wished their estranged son Brooklyn happy birthday.

- Brooklyn made a series of allegations against his parents in January.

- The family feud comes after Brooklyn alleged that his mother "danced very inappropriately" on him at his wedding to actress Nicola Peltz.**

David and Victoria Beckham have dually shared public birthday wishes for their estranged son Brooklyn amid ongoing family drama also involving their daughter-in-law, actress Nicola Peltz.

"Happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much," Victoria wrote early Wednesday on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself and David, whom she married in 1999, posing in a swimming pool with a young Brooklyn.

The Spice Girls icon followed the post up with another black-and-white photo, captioning it with another message on Brooklyn's 27th birthday: "I love you so much."**

The couple's birthday wishes comes after months of rumored drama among the Beckham family, which spilled over into the public sphere in January when Brooklyn posted a series of Instagram Stories blasting his famous parents.

"I have been silent for years and have made every effort to keep these matters private," Brooklyn began, going on to say, "I do not want to reconcile with my family" in reference to the feud.

"I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life," he said.

Brooklyn then made a series of claims against his parents and brothers, particularly making allegations about his mother's behavior at his 2022 wedding to Peltz.

"My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped," he alleged. Brooklyn claimed that his mother, who launched her fashion brand in 2008, told the couple that she would make Peltz's wedding gown, but canceled "in the eleventh hour," forcing a last-minute alteration to plans on their wedding day.

Brooklyn also alleged that his parents "repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name." After he held out, "they have never treated me the same since." Brooklyn claimed that David and Victoria even "went so far as to call me 'evil'" for seating his grandmother, Sandra, and Peltz's grandmother at their wedding table, while his parents sat at their own table.

He finally alleged that Victoria "hijacked" his first dance with Peltz, and "danced very inappropriately" on him in front of their 500 guests while singer Marc Anthony serenaded the crowd.

Many have speculated on a rift in the family since 2022, when fans noticed that Peltz didn't wear one of Victoria's designs at the wedding. Brooklyn was no longer following his parents on Instagram as of December, and, at the end of 2025, David left Brooklyn out of his year-end recap post.

In his first public appearance since Brooklyn's posts, David lightly addressed the controversy during a CNBC interview in January, during which he addressed the potential pitfalls of social media.

"I've tried to do the same with my children, to educate them," he said, shortly after Brooklyn blasted his parents online. "They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That's how they learn. That's what I try to teach my kids, but, you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well."**

EW reached out to representatives for David and Victoria Beckham, as well as their other sons, Cruz and Romeo James, at the time.
