Brooklyn Beckham turned 27 and quietly received a double dose of affection from his parents on Wednesday, March 4, following a storm of public drama in January.
Two InstagramStories fromDavid and Victoria Beckhampainted a warm picture of family love, even though there werewhispers of discord in the background. David Beckham posted an old photo of him, Victoria, and a beaming Brooklyn, swimming in a pool.
The caption, '27 Today' combined with a teary-eyed smiley, and a 'Happy Birthday Bust' announce a simple fact: Birthdays matter, even with a public spat. The next story zoomed in on a black-and-white portrait of Brooklyn next to his father. David added, 'Happy Birthday Bust,' and pink heart, while writing 'Love You x' below.
Victoria didn't miss the chance and reshared the pool image with her own touch, using the same photo from last year's greetings.
'Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn, I love you so much.' She then posted a sepia-toned snapshot of herself as a mom, with her little son in her arms. Six red hearts hung all over the frame, mirroring the sentiment from her husband.
The family's public feud started in January whenBrooklyn took to Instagram Stories to accuse his parentsof sabotaging his relationship withNicola Peltz Beckham. He said they had tried 'endlessly to ruin' their union, all for publicity and endorsements.
He lambasted them for trying to 'bribe' him into giving up the right to their name before they got married and stealing the dance that belonged to him and Nicola. The posts sent shockwaves through the media, and the Beckhams kept a quiet distance for months.
Brooklyn's tone was one of self-defence. He stated that he had been quiet for years, but the overwhelming press left him no choice but to defend himself. He said he was no longer being controlled; he was standing up for himself for the first time.
Inside whispers tell that the Beckhams made several contacts to organise a meeting between Brooklyn, Nicola, and the rest of the family. In one conversation,David drove homethat he loves his childrenand thatthey are his everything.
Yet one source close to the family contested that those attempts had been successful. The tone of the family's response remains ambiguous, but the recent birthday tweets suggest a hopeful shift.
