Brooklyn Beckham skips sister Harper’s 15th birthday after bombshell family feud

Brooklyn Beckham was absent from his sister Harper’s 15th birthday gathering as their family rift appears to widen.
Harper was pictured celebrating her birthday on Friday at Italian restaurant Sant Ambroeus in West Palm Beach, Florida, alongside her parents, football star David and Spice Girls singer Victoria, and her brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21.
They were also joined by Romeo and Cruz’s girlfriends, Kim Turnball and Jackie Apostel.
Brooklyn, who has been estranged from his family since he released a bombshell statement accusing his parents of “trying endlessly” to “ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, was nowhere to be seen at the celebrations.
Harper wore a white dress for the family outing, while her mom wore a tight-fitting black dress. Her brothers dressed down in T-shirts and jeans.
The family celebration comes one month after Page Six reported that Harper attempted to reconcile with Brooklyn by going to his home in Beverly Hills, California, shortly after celebrating her dad’s Walk of Fame ceremony in Hollywood.
But Brooklyn and his actor and heiress wife accused the reconciliation attempt of being staged.
A representative for the couple told Page Six at the time: “That photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all — this was choreographed for the cameras.” The Independent has contacted representatives for David and Victoria for comment.
In an Instagram post shared in January, Beckham claimed his parents have “controlled narratives in the press about our family” and said that “performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
He went on to state that he does not “want to reconcile with my family” and said that he was “standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
The Beckhams have yet to comment directly on Brooklyn’s remarks made in January, and David continued to avoid questions about the relationship rupture when he was interviewed before receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month.
When Variety asked him about the “vicious” media coverage of “strife” in the Beckham family, the former England captain said the subject was “the one thing that I don’t want to talk about.”
In the interview, David made a point to hail his “four incredible kids,” referring to Brooklyn, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21 and Harper, 14, and said that “family always comes first.”
“That’s our priority, and that’s what makes it work when you’ve been together for so long,” he added. “Our priority will always be our family.”
Brooklyn made light of his fractured relationship with his dad when he appeared in a recent World Cup-themed advert for DoorDash released last month.
In the ad, Brooklyn is captured watching a match from the comfort of his home, telling the camera: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home...”
Brooklyn then laughed to himself before saying, “It’s a long story.”
Commentators concluded that Brooklyn was referring to the breakdown of his relationship with his family, who are VIP guests at this year’s sporting event. David and Victoria, and their three youngest children, were together in the stands at Miami Stadium on Saturday evening to watch England win 2-1 against Norway.
Football star David previously earned 115 caps for England, including 13 World Cup Finals appearances.
