While noticeably absent from his own family’s celebrations, Brooklyn Beckham stated that he is “grateful” to spend the New Year with his wife and Nicola Peltz’s family.
Brooklyn Beckham has shared that he is “grateful” to have spent New Year ’s Eve with his wife Nicola Peltz ’s family, a move that has once again shone a spotlight on his ongoing rift with his famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
The 25-year-old took to Instagram Stories to mark the start of the new year, reposting snaps that his wife Nicola had posted. The picture was captioned: “i’m so grateful to start the year with these humans” and then an array of tags which also included Brooklyn and Nicola’s brother Bradley. Noticeably absent from his posts were any references to his own family, amid growing speculation that relations remain strained.
The latest update comes as rumours of a feud between Brooklyn and the Beckhams refuse to die down. Fans have been quick to notice that Brooklyn has been missing from several recent family gatherings and social media posts, including David Beckham ’s New Year recap, which initially failed to include his eldest son.
As 50 Cent took to the stage after the bells rang out, Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, both of South Florida, seemed to be having a blast. As they introduced 2026 in style, they were spotted raising their arms and posing with joy.
It comes as Brooklyn’s parents appeared to make another attempt to heal the rift between the family that has been simmering away publicly for months. Taking to Instagram , David initially posted 20 images that saw him reflect on what he called unforgettable moments. Clear in the images were former Spice Girl Victoria and three of the couple’s children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. There was no space for a shot of Brooklyn.
However, the former England captain later shared a throwback photo of himself and Brooklyn, who were standing ensemble in happier times. The father’s emoji reads, “I love you all so much,” and the father adds, “I love you all so much.”
He also shared a black-and-white photo of Victoria, the mother of Harper, and all of his children. You are my life, he wrote. I cherish Daddy X and love you all. On to 2026″.
And while Victoria reshared her hubby’s post on her own platform, Brooklyn appears to continue to snub his family for his life stateside in the images obtained by TMZ .
On the eve of David’s 50th birthday, the fallout first appeared in public. Brooklyn was missing from a number of family gatherings as soon as people realized it. He also snubbed both of his parents’ birthdays on Instagram, something he had never done before.
Despite avoiding significant family events like Sir David’s long-awaited knighthood earlier this year, Brooklyn and Nicola remained unmoved. Without the presence of any of Brooklyn’s immediate family, the couple also renewed their vows.
The Beckham clan may not all be willing to offer an olive branch as the conflict continues to simmer. Romeo chose not to do the same despite David and Victoria’s public position.
Brooklyn was omitted from the model’s Instagram post, which included his parents, brother Cruz, 20, sister Harper, 14, and girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24. Romeo’s family photos were shared on social media, and the images included sweet snaps.
Thanks 2025, off to a better 2026, he captioned his upload, “Love you all @davidbeckham @victoriabeckham @cruzbeckham @kim_turnbull @harperbeckham.”
