Brooklyn Beckham's eldest son posted a photo and wished his father-in-law, billionaire Nelson Peltz, a happy birthday after skipping his own father's birthday.
Brooklyn posted a photo of the couple being close to his father-in-law on Instagram Story with the caption: "Happy birthday Nelson, we love you" with a heart symbol. The photo was shared by his wife Nicola Peltz on her personal page on the occasion of Thanksgiving last year. Mr. Nelson celebrated his 83rd birthday on June 24.
Brooklyn's move to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday is said to have deepened the rift in the family. The 26-year-old did not publicly congratulate and did not attend any of his biological father, former midfielder David Beckham's 50th birthday parties last month. Brooklyn also did not wish his mother, designer Victoria Beckham, a happy 51st birthday on April 17. The eldest son of the Becks family was silent on Mother's Day and Father's Day, did not post messages to his parents like previous years, did not congratulate his father when news of his knighthood broke. Brooklyn also did not respond to posts with his name from his parents.
"Ignoring" his family, Brooklyn still posted a congratulatory message to his brother-in-law, Will Peltz, in early June, and attended Will's birthday party with his wife. In May, the Becks son posted a tribute to his wife's grandmother while not wishing his grandfather a happy birthday.
British media reported that the Becks family rift was so serious that Brooklyn had "cut off contact" with both his brothers Romeo and Cruz. The images on his personal page are mainly about his wife, his wife's family and his job promoting chili sauce products. The Becks family calls Brooklyn a "hostage" and worries that the 1999-born man is being "controlled" because he is too infatuated with his wife.
In a related development, Brooklyn received support from his godfather, famous singer Elton John. After Brooklyn posted a photo commemorating the 5th anniversary of his proposal to Nicola Peltz on June 24, Sir Elon John sent his congratulations, praising the young couple as "the cutest couple". The Daily Mail said that the 30-year close relationship between the British singer and the Becks couple could be affected by this "side-picking" move.
The eldest son of the Becks family also showed his stance on his wife when she was considered the cause of discord between him and his family. In a post at the end of May, Brooklyn said Nicola Peltz was "his whole world", promised to love her forever and "always choose you".
Despite months of rumors of family discord, neither the Becks nor Brooklyn nor Nicola have confirmed or denied the conflict, which is said to be "deeper than ever" within the family. Becks and Vic still tag Brooklyn in family posts but do not mention Nicola.
