Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of soccer star David Beckham and pop icon Victoria Beckham, was conspicuously missing from the 50th birthday celebrations of his father. Fans on the internet could not resist their curiosity, given that the birthday bash was a lavish event attended by the rest of Brooklyn Beckham’s siblings.
None of the social media posts from the event, put up by either David Beckham or his second son, Romeo Beckham, mentioned Brooklyn’s absence. The birthday party, which took place in Miami, was a star-studded event. According to David Beckham’s post, the event was attended by his remaining children—Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13. Apart from Brooklyn’s siblings, the event was also attended by Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who is reportedly a source of the alleged ‘feud’ between the brothers.
Netizens took to social media platforms to comment on the absence of Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, from the celebrations. A fan commenting on David’s post of the party, which excluded Brooklyn Beckham, wrote:
“Where is Brooklyn? And you didn’t mention his name in the hashtags below, strange…”

Speculations of a feud between the two eldest Beckham siblings are rampant. Based on recent social media posts, the brothers are not on speaking terms, according to E! News. E! News also highlighted that Romeo’s Instagram story about David’s birthday celebrations did not tag Brooklyn, despite talking about the importance of family.
X users can be trusted to put a hilarious spin on everything, though. An X user commenting on the alleged feud between the brothers wrote:
“team romeo”
Another netizen was quick to also side with Romeo, writing:
“Brooklyn is always feuding with someone in his family”
A fan took to X to comment on the entertainment value of the alleged hostility in the family, adding,
“Is this a movie?”
Similarly, another netizen described how the situation resembled soap opera plots. The user wrote,
“Oh, because nothing says family bonding like a good old-fashioned feud over motives! Can't wait to see how this soap opera unfolds.”
Another netizen gave a detailed opinion on the situation, referring to reports that Romeo’s girlfriend Turnbull previously dated Brooklyn Beckham. The fan wrote on X,
“Is *Kim* wrong?! Kim dating her ex's brother isn't nearly as wrong as Romeo dating his brother's ex.”
What is the source of tension between Romeo and Brooklyn Beckham?
According to a report by TMZ, Brooklyn Beckham and his younger brother Romeo Beckham’s alleged feud is linked to Kim Turnbull. As per the report, which quotes unnamed sources, Brooklyn carries doubts about Turnbull’s motives behind dating his younger brother.
Turnbull and Romeo officially shared news of their relationship through an Instagram post in November last year, according to Daily Mail.

However, based on information from anonymous sources, TMZ reported that Turnbull, who is presently a DJ in London, had dated Brooklyn a few years ago. According to the report, Brooklyn allegedly finds Turnbull’s motives behind dating his younger brother questionable.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn, who is married to Nicola Peltz, an actress and filmmaker, was vacationing with his wife in Santa Barbara over the weekend, according to The Mirror. It is noteworthy to mention that Page Six reported on Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from Brooklyn’s mother, Victoria Beckham’s, fashion show in March. The absence was notable, as the couple had previously been frequent sights at events related to Victoria Beckham’s designer brand, always supporting the Beckham family matriarch.
While none of the Beckham family members have responded to why Brooklyn Beckham has been absent from the family’s recent outings or their social media posts, it remains to be seen whether things return to normal with the much-loved and admired family.
