Former midfielder David Beckham hopes his 50th birthday on 2 May will be a cosy family gathering with his sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law.
Daily Mail reported that Victoria had meticulously planned a secret trip to a remote and picturesque location in Europe to celebrate her husband's 50th birthday. The trip is similar to the party Becks threw for Victoria on her 50th birthday in April last year, when the Becks family and friends flew to La Colombe d'Or restaurant on the French Riviera.
Despite the different location, Vic is hoping her husband's birthday celebrations will be as low-key as hers. However, a dark cloud has hung over preparations for the former England captain's big day after Brooklyn was absent from his mother's birthday, sparking fears the couple may suddenly decide not to join their family for their father's birthday.
An acquaintance revealed: "David adores his sons and is very proud of how close they are. He loves having a happy, loving family and spending time together. Family is everything to David. He comes from a working-class family, close to his parents and grandparents, and nothing makes him happier than seeing his sons and Harper getting along."
"Although the venue will be perfect and beautiful, David's biggest wish is for his family to be together, happy, and in harmony. However, things are not looking good at the moment. Everyone around them is hoping they can patch things up before the big day - for David's sake," the source added.
This isn't the first time Brooklyn and Nicola have been absent from family events: they have missed several family gatherings in the past 12 months. But missing Becks' 50th birthday, according to those close to him, would be heartbreaking.
Friends of the Beckham family also said Brooklyn had told his parents he would be there, and that they were "expecting" Nicola to show up. However, there are doubts: "They were both invited as beloved members of the family. But you never know, Brooklyn and Nicola will do what they want," said a friend.
Another friend said, "David would be absolutely devastated if any of this continued and became a big issue. The best birthday present for David would be for the couple and their children to enjoy some quality time together."
Rumors of a rift between the Becks and their eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife surfaced in early April after the young couple did not attend their father's early birthday party or publicly congratulate or interact with their parents. After that, the former MU midfielder and his wife did not "like" or comment to congratulate Brooklyn and his wife on their third wedding anniversary. On Vic's 51st birthday on April 17, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz remained silent.
Sources said that this internal conflict is believed to be related to Kim Turnbull, Romeo's girlfriend. Brooklyn and Kim used to be close in the past, and the Becks' son objected to Kim dating his younger brother. Meanwhile, Becks and Vic support Romeo and Kim. The British star couple is said to be confused about what to do when their two sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, "turn their backs on each other".
