Victoria Beckham continues to put on a brave face as she plugs new £44 blush from her beauty brand amid ongoing feud with son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz
The former Spice Girl, 51, and husband David, 50, are in the midst of an escalating rift with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his actress wife, Nicola Peltz.
But amid the family fallout, Victoria brushed aside her woes and got back to business as she promoted her Colour Wash liquid blush on her Instagram page.
Sitting in a room with a white towel wrapped around her head and donning a silk bathrobe, Victoria showed off her radiant complexion with a light and dewy makeup palette.
In the tutorial video, the beauty applied the product, which retails for £44, on her cheeks and lips as she explained that she is 'obsessed with it going into summer'.
'I can get that cute little flushed look whilst literally spending my whole summer in the shade,' she told her followers.
The fashion designer appeared in good spirits as she talked through the new product with her fans amid her recent heartbreak over her rift with her eldest son.
Last week, it was revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers Cruz, 20, and Romeo, 22, in the latest family drama.
However, Brooklyn's friends told MailOnline on Friday that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform.
This would make sense given that Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola are still following Victoria and David.
Cruz and Romeo were still following Brooklyn and Nicola earlier this week but appeared to take action after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to sister Harper, sharing a family photo without them in it - which Nicola reposted.
There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday on Thursday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp.
Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month.
Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have also distanced themselves from Harper after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park.
David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.
The news that Cruz and Romeo had blocked their older brother followed Cruz's many pointed digs towards Brooklyn on social media last month.
Amid the escalating feud, Romeo stepped in as he shared a very pointed statement about 'appreciating people that love you' and insisted 'life was too short' to not tell people you care about them.
Brooklyn and Romeo have been living a somewhat fractious relationship over the last few months following claims Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull was the reason behind their rift.
Kim addressed the speculation June 16 and insisted she has only ever had a friendship with the eldest Beckham son.
Sharing a statement on her Instagram page, she said: 'I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.
'I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.
'I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.
'Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation & set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.'
Kim had been at the centre of the row after Nicola claimed that she felt uncomfortable around her, with sources close to the US heiress saying that Kim had dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers - which she then denied.
Last month, Romeo and Kim then split after seven months together, with friends saying that the romance 'fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday.
Following their split, friends said things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart.

Charli XCX and new husband George Daniel celebrate wedding with wild afterparty
Newlyweds Charli XCX and George Daniel have celebrated their surprise London wedding with a raucous afterparty. The Brat hitmaker, 32, first announced her engagement to The 1975's drummer in 2023, after they'd dated for a year. She confirmed that she and George, 35, were now man and wife this weekend as she shared a cheeky behind-the-scenes video to her TikTok account. Filming herself in her Vivienne Westwood gown, she joked: 'when george isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle'. Thankfully, the dress had the desired reaction, with Charli adding: 'luckily he did xx' Following the intimate ceremony at Hackney Town Hall, the newly-married couple then headed down the road to a local Italian eatery where festivities continued. And, as the evening progressed, the happy couple partied into the early hours in an increasingly wild afterparty. As the ceremony ended, Charli and George headed hand-in-hand to the restaurant they had hired out for friends and family. In a nod to their planned 'second' wedding in Italy later this year, the party kept an Italian theme. Still dressed in their wedding finery, they ate and drank the evening away there until 10pm, when the evening festivities began. After eating and drinking their fill, Charli and George snuck off for a quick outfit change, before arriving at Ellie's on Dalston Road at 11pm. It was then that the party really got underway – with guests piling through the doors for a rave-up which reportedly lasted into the early hours of the morning. A source shared: 'It was classic Charli – stylish, fun, and totally unexpected. Everyone was in the mood to celebrate! ' This boisterous end to the day came in stark contrast to the intimate ceremony which had preceded it. According to The Mirror, there had only been 20 friends and family at the wedding, including 1975 drummer George's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann. @charlixcx bridal party energy! ♬ som original – DM Songs Frontman Matty Healy wasn't said to be there – although he did reportedly join his 1975 bandmate for a 'wild' stag do in Ibiza beforehand. Instead, Matty, 36, was spotted in LA on Friday for a screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel. Their low-key nuptials follow reports that Charli and George were planning a blow-out ceremony in Sicily. An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there. 'It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds, and visually it will be mesmerising. More Trending 'Charli and George said they wanted a massive party, and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night.' Explaining the more laid-back version which occurred this weekend, Charli previously said: 'We're both very chill, and we kind of just want to have a party. 'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. 'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.' Got a story?

I knew despised Octomum who had 14 kids on benefits before turning to porn… one confession over the births shocked me
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN single mum Nadya Suleman giving birth to octuplets, in 2009, it made headlines across the world. But 'Octomom' Nadya went from miracle-maker to villain when it was revealed that she already had six children, lived on benefits and had had IVF to conceive her multiple pregnancies. 17 Nadya shocked the world when she gave birth to octuplets in 2009 - while already having six kids at home Credit: Instagram/nataliesuleman 17 She raised the kids alone - and has said that, though they all have the same father, he didn't want to be part of their lives Credit: Instagram/nataliesuleman 17 Sixteen years later, the whole family seem happier and more solid than ever Credit: Instagram/nataliesuleman Her life turned into a circus freak show as she was vilified for her actions and even received death threats. Critics claimed she was an unfit mother, breeding 'a litter' of children to live off the state and some even called for her offspring to be adopted. And she faced further backlash when it emerged she had turned to porn to make ends meet and had become addicted to prescription drugs. Now 16 years on, a new documentary charts what happened to Octomom and her brood of 14. TV physician Dr Drew Pinsky - himself a father of triplets - visited Nadya's home on several occasions and says his mind was blown by how she coped. Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Dr Drew says: 'How good can you be when you have all of these kids? How do you create a firm attachment? "There is so much there. To the extent that the circumstances were out of the ordinary, she did an extraordinary job. I was always on Team Nadya. "I thought it was extraordinary what she was doing.' Nadya Suleman's octuplets were born by caesarean section at 31 weeks in LA - and miraculously were all healthy. News stations from across the world descended on the hospital, desperately trying to find out anything about the mum who wanted to stay anonymous. Octomom Nadya Suleman who turned to porn to make ends meet reveals she's turned her life around for her 14 kids TV reporter Dave Lopes from Channel 2 news popped into a cafe where a woman told him that Octomom already had six children at home. Dave recalls: 'Holy Moses, I almost spat out my coffee, do you mean to tell me that this woman now has 14 kids? "Once it was confirmed that she had six more at home, everybody was going 'wait a minute…..what is going on here?' It wasn't long before journalists tracked down 33-year-old unemployed single mum Nadya, who was receiving disability allowances and lived with her parents in a cramped three bedroom house. 'Are we paying?' LA-based British entertainment journalist Caroline Feraday recalls: 'The public suddenly thought, 'hang on a minute, are we paying for this?'' Nadya soon became a target of ridicule and hate, but came out fighting for her reputation. Just ten days after giving birth she gave an interview to NBC where journalist Ann Curry quizzed her on allegations that she was irresponsible and selfish to bring the children into the world without a clear source of income and sufficient support to raise them. But Nadya claimed she was finishing her education to provide for the kids and loved her children unconditionally. Meanwhile other questions were being asked about where Nadya received fertility treatment that allowed her to conceive eight babies at once. All her life, only child Nadya had dreamed of being a mum. She suffered from endometriosis but in 1997, she met fertility specialist Dr Michael Kamrava who would help her become pregnant through IVF. 17 Nadya earned the moniker "Octomom" and was chastised online for being "reckless" Credit: AP:Associated Press 17 Despite the public outrage, she used her newfound fame to make ends meet by selling pictures to Radar Online Credit: Handout 17 She also sat down for a tell-all interview with NBC in 2009, to argue against claims she was 'irresponsible' and 'selfish' for having so many children Credit: Handout Her first child Elijah was born in 2001. She went back for treatment every year for the next five years giving birth to Amerah in 2002, Joshua in 2003, Aidan in 2005, followed by twins Calysah and Caleb in 2006. By 2008, Nadya had six children but returned to Dr Kamrava for more IVF treatment. The doctor told her she had frozen eggs left. She did not want them destroyed. In an unprecedented and reckless move, Dr Kamrava implanted 12 embryos into Nadya. Crisis manager Wendy Feldman says: 'The doctor who did that for his own experiment. That's a monster. You have to look at her as the victim of first the doctor, and then public opinion.' The doctor later claimed that he implanted the 12 embryos at Nadya's request, whereas she claimed she was unaware what was going on and was so sedated that she could not consent. I always thought - like the rest of the world - that the eight embryos were her idea' Dr Drew Pinsky Dr Drew Pinsky said he was stunned by the revelation. He told The Sun: 'I always thought - like the rest of the world - that the eight embryos was her idea. But she insisted that it was not, she was hoodwinked into that. "She was unhappy with it, but she was not going to reduce. She was going to accept her lot and raise these kids. It is overwhelming when I think about it.' But whether there was consent or not, the treatment raised huge ethical questions as there were too many embryos for the pregnancy to be considered safe. Nadya's fertility expert, Dr Michael Kamrava, had his licence revoked in 2011 for negligence in relation to Nadya and two other patients. And, in March, Nadya revealed her biggest regret was not suing him because she could have been awarded "millions" which "would have helped my family". But she added: 'I definitely regret that because his insurance would've been the one paying, and it would've been some millions, and it would've been helpful for my family. 'I regret that I kind of threw myself under the bus to cover for him, and I shouldn't have, but I was grateful. "I wouldn't have had any of my kids if it weren't for his innovative technique. No one else in the world did this type of procedure, so I didn't have it in my heart to sue him.' TV fame As Nadya prepared to bring her eight babies home, one burning question still remained unanswered - who is the daddy? Nadya claimed that one man was the father of all 14 children - but was not in their lives. 17 The octuplets celebrating their 12th birthday in 2021 Credit: Instagram 17 Dr Drew Pinsky - who visited the family - has said he witnessed a happy and healthy upbringing Credit: Instagram 17 The octuplets all miraculously survived, after Nadya gave birth at 31 weeks Credit: PA:Press Association And when an emergency call made by Nadya a year previously, saying her son had gone missing, was released to the press, more and more people questioned her ability to look after her 14 kids. Despite having never met Nadya, celebrity psychiatrist Carole Lieberman wrote to Child Protective Services claiming Nadya was not stable enough psychologically to be a mother to six children, never mind 14. But Nadya's dad was firmly in her corner and vowed to help her stop anyone taking the children away. With his help she bought a four bed house for her and her 14 children. Such was the interest, when the babies were finally released from hospital, several weeks after their birth, Nadya needed a police escort to get them home. But she also needed cash. Companies weren't flocking to give Nadya and her children brand deals or freebies because she was notorious and disliked. So she agreed to give celebrity website Radar Online exclusive access to her home and her children. 17 Dr Drew Pinskey with Nadya Suleman Credit: YouTube 17 The desperate mum turned to porn to make ends meet Credit: Supplied 17 Nadya snapped as she visited the babies in hospital Credit: Alamy Slammed by nannies Charity Angels in Waiting, which provides free nannies and childcare, offered her their support. But that didn't last as Nadya sacked the nannies, claiming they were spying on her. The fired nannies hit back, claiming she was an unfit mother, the house was chaotic, with no bedtime routine, no homework routine, and that Nadya would rather go shopping than spend time with her children. Dr Drew Pinsky and his TV show also made an incredible offer of help to Nadya - free childcare for a year and other services. But she declined. I didn't understand how it was possible by herself Dr Drew Pinsky He believes that the backlash against Nadya and accusations that she had 14 children to sponge off the state made her determined not to accept any free help, but earn her own cash, however bizarre the means. Dr Drew explains: 'I had triplets so I was sympathetic to this, the idea of eight kids when I was a multiple parent, is just so overwhelming. "I know what multiples do to the mum in particular, in terms of how much they pull upon them, how much they need them, so I didn't understand how it was possible by herself. 'When I went over there, it was mind-boggling how she could deal with this and it didn't feel safe. It didn't make sense to me how this could be done safely. "And she kind of managed to do it. I was kind of frustrated with her and her unwillingness to take the services we were trying to set up for her. 17 Nadya with her eight babies in 2010 Credit: nataliesuleman - Instagram 17 The proud mum celebrated her brood in 2022 as they entered 8th grade at school Credit: Instagram "I still don't understand that, other than kind of a wilfulness and a pride that she wouldn't take anything from anybody, and yet she ended up making some dumb choices to try to get money. 'I think more than anything, she was concerned about how she was perceived by the world, but not as much as wanting to be a good mum. "That was her life. She was afraid that somebody would say that the system made it possible for her to survive, she didn't want to be seen as somebody taking from the system. "We were offering her free stuff, not from the system, but from a television show. But she wouldn't take it.' Determined Nadya decided to go it alone, with help from her parents and the church, and the cameras of Radar Online following her every move. Nothing was off limits and it created a backlash. Desperate means But things were soon to spiral out of control. In November 2011 the deal with Radar Online came to an end - and Nadya was heavily in debt and about to lose her home. She revealed her monthly outgoings were $10,000 and she was relying on food stamps and welfare to feed her 14 kids. Nadya was doing everything she could to make money - she had a garage sale, she sold pictures of herself for $10 a pop, she promoted beer, and even tried to become a celebrity boxer. She became increasingly desperate and eventually turned to porn - causing even more hate towards her. It worked and Nadya regained financial security - but she ended up in rehab for exhaustion and prescription drug abuse. Dr Drew says: 'The porn thing for me, I'm sure that was her rock bottom. I'm sure she didn't feel good about that, I am sure that was a bad choice. "I have seen people get manipulated into these things with the promise of money and freedom, and so they do it. Not a great choice.' Nadya disappeared from the public eye and concentrated on raising her children. But she came back into the public eye in March this year for a six part documentary - Confessions of Octomom. I saw kids that were well cared for, well fed, the structure was extraordinary Dr Drew Finsky The 16-year-old octuplets could finally speak for themselves - and were full of praise for their mum. And Dr Drew is not surprised. 'But for the grace of God,' he says. 'It is not inconsistent with what I saw. I saw kids that were well cared for, well fed, the structure was extraordinary. "It was necessary for safety and survival - eat at a certain time, move at a certain time, sleep at a certain time, change diapers at a certain time. "The real concern I had, and I still have, is how do you get that secure attachment going with so many kids, and you are on your own? "There is a grandad who is in and out, but no real main male figure. With all those peripheral concerns, the outcome speaks for itself. And the kids all speak highly of Nadya. It worked.' Dr Drew is hoping to reconnect with Nadya one day, and says she proved the haters wrong. 17 The mum-of-14 embraced her fame for a while, before completely shunning the spotlight Credit: Getty - Contributor 17 She now shares glimpses of her healthy lifestyle to Instagram Credit: nataliesuleman - Instagram 17 Aged 50, she's overcome addiction and mental health struggles and turned her life around Credit: nataliesuleman - Instagram 'I would hug her,' he says. 'I would congratulate her for having survived this with everyone in one piece. I would like to know if she sees things differently than back then. "And I would also ask why did she do some of the stuff she did. And she would have an explanation. She was trying to survive, I get it. "And she was making decisions in an altered state - she was in survival mode for everyone. 'She is not how she has been portrayed. "She is a distinctly good person who was in some extraordinary circumstances, allegedly not of her own making, and I will take her at her own word. She is not a liar.'
