The Rumored Beckham Feud Is Getting Even Messier, With Cruz Beckham Posting A Seriously Pointed Statement After Brooklyn Beckham Said He'll 'Always Choose' Nicola Peltz
It didn't go unnoticed by the family's millions of followers that Brooklyn and Nicola skipped not one, but all three of David's celebrations, with the first taking place in Miami at the end of March, and the last two in London in early May.
David shared photos from each of his parties on Instagram, including photos with Victoria and their other three children: 22-year-old Romeo, 20-year-old Cruz, and 13-year-old Harper.
If you've been following the Beckhams on social media over the years, you'll have noticed that whenever they post a family photo without one of their kids, they'll make a point of acknowledging their absence in the caption, as seen here and here. Notably, David made no mention of Brooklyn and Nicola's repeated absences this time around.
'There are tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family,' a source later told People, before insisting that 'the relationship is definitely not beyond repair.'
The insider also said that the couple had been invited to David's celebrations but chose not to come. According to the source, the Beckhams 'love and are always there for' Brooklyn, but are 'hurt and disappointed that he's now playing no part in family life.'
For reference, before he started dating Kim, Romeo had a five-year on-again, off-again relationship with British model Mia Regan, whom he split from for the final time in February last year. Mia appeared to develop a close relationship with Nicola during this time, and they still follow one another on Instagram.
On April 5, Mia posted a photo of her Pop cover story to her profile, and Nicola shared her admiration as she commented: 'so beautiful mia 🩷✨,' which Mia liked at the time.
Just two days later, the Beckham brothers appeared to throw shade at Nicola's comment when Romeo shared a collection of photos to his Instagram account on April 7 — including pictures of Kim. Undeniably mocking Nicola, Cruz commented on Romeo's post: 'So beautiful Romeo ✨🩷,' with Romeo replying: '😂😂'
Nicola shared the same video and wrote: 'ive always got you baby ❤️🔥.'
Needless to say, many of Brooklyn's followers interpreted his caption as a dig at his family, especially his parents, with one popular comment reading: 'Don't forget your beautiful parents who will always love you unconditionally.'
'If that was my son saying that, knowing what the post is about, I would be devastated. Blood is thicker than water,' another wrote. 'Make sure the damage isn't irreparable when you need your family again.'

Neither Victoria nor David have publicly acknowledged either of their sons' social media posts from the weekend, but I'm sure that they would have been pretty appreciative of Cruz's.

Meghan Markle Shares Pics of Archie and Lilibet Experiencing 'Pure Joy' at Disneyland
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared to enjoy Disneyland almost as much as their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in a Reel posted to Instagram by the Duchess of Sussex on Friday. 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!' Meghan wrote in the caption of the adorable montage of the family's adventures. The whole group was at the amusement park for Lilibet's fourth birthday. Playing to Peggy Lee's song 'It's A Good Day,' the first clip showed a nervous Lilibet holding her mom's hand as she approached her hero, Elsa from Frozen. Lili was also gifted a Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake reading 'Happy Birthday Lili,' making it a day of Disney princesses for the royal one. The group could then be seen on various rides, including Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, Space Mountain, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and the King Arthur Carousel. Meghan shared a clip of just herself and Harry on the more demanding Rise of the Resistance, laughing and screaming together as they came down on the roller coaster. In a group shot, Meghan covered her kids' faces, but showed off her Minnie Mouse ears. Harry was kneeling by the two children and has his arm around Archie. Lili is barefoot and wearing a white dress covered in a colorful graphic bow pattern. Before the Disney party, Meghan celebrated Lili's fourth birthday with never-before-seen footage from the delivery room taken just ahead of her daughter's birth. In the clips, she and Harry are dancing together to help induce labor, because both Lili and Archie arrived past their due dates. 'Four years ago today, this also happened,' she wrote in the caption. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates. So when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work—there was only one thing left to do! 😂.'

Video: Toddler's Thoughts on Friendship Is What We Need To Hear Today
Kids often say the darnedest things; their unsolicited advice sometimes cracks everyone up, and we love them for that. Even Instagram mom Katy Robin experienced something similar with her daughter Emi. Her toddler's wise words left her emotional rather than surprised. In their Instagram video, the mom wells up upon hearing the toddler's 'thoughts on friendship.'

It was a tear-jerking moment for Katy Robin (@katyrobinbird) when she heard Emi's 'thoughts on friendship' while 'biking home from preschool.' Their heartfelt conversation was a 'reminder' of what real friends are like. The toddler's friendship video starts with 3-year-old Emi politely expressing her desire to have a 'playdate with Frankie because she's so funny.' The mom appreciates her wish, saying, 'Good friends bring out the best in us,' and the toddler could not agree more. Emi goes on to explain that when she is 'super scared,' she runs over to Frankie. And what do you think Frankie does? Calm down Emi? No. She does something even better. Frankie laughs when Emi is crying.

Naperville's India Day Festival reduced to parade only due to security requirements
The annual India Day Festival & Concert, which for years has brought large crowds to Naperville, will be scaled back this year, organizers have announced. Usually a day-long affair featuring live entertainment and a cultural festival at Naperville's Rotary Hill, the free event will be reduced to only a parade when held Aug. 10, organizers said in a Facebook post. The decision to curtail festivities was attributed to heightened costs and reduced funding, the post said. Presented by Indian Community Outreach, the festival commemorates Aug. 15, 1947, the day India won its freedom from British rule. Launched in 2015, the event has grown into one of the largest Indian American festivals of its kind across the country, according to Krishna Bansal, event founder and organizer. Cost increases were partly the result of new city-mandated security requirements, Bansal said. Namely, requirements mandating the use of fencing around the perimeter of the event and metal detectors at controlled entry and exit points and dictating that attendees could bring only clear bags onto the grounds, he said. Implementing those rules would have taken a 'mammoth amount of effort,' Bansal said. '(It would) take a huge amount of resources as well as cost to do that.' Sponsors primarily fund the festival, he said. Naperville Police Chief Jason Arres said the security requirements aren't really new. Rather, they're 'something we've really been pushing towards for the past few years and are finally getting traction,' he said. It's a matter of public safety, Arres said. 'Outdoor events are big, big targets for those looking to do bad things,' he said, 'and they're increasingly vulnerable to mass violence. … (These recommendations) keep these events safe and actually can deter threats before they can occur.' They're also in line with what other large-scale events in town — Last Fling and Halal Fest, for instance — have been doing for a number of years, Arres said. 'We're not asking them (to do) anything different than any other progressive agencies and cities are doing because these are the best practices for these big-scale events,' he said. Asked if Indian Community Outreach plans to bring back the event in full in the future, Bansal said, 'We are not looking to cancel the event.' It's just a matter of how and where it will move forward, he said. They want to continue holding the event in Naperville but if doing so isn't feasible, 'we'll have to look around and see where we can do this effectively,' he said. 'This event is immensely popular,' he said. 'People want to have this event. We will continue with what we have built.' Changes to the festival follow last month's announcement that there would be no Naperville Salute this summer. The annual Fourth of July celebration, also held at Rotary Hill, was canceled to preserve the long-term health of both the event and the charitage organization behind it, organizers said. It was scheduled to take place from June 27-29 but now only the Naperville Responds for Veterans Ruck March will be held. Both cancellations come in the wake of Naperville Ribfest, another of the city's longstanding summer celebrations, permanently ending last year. tkenny@
