David Beckham's kids share gushing tributes but Brooklyn issues telling response
Football star David Beckham's beloved children have spoke out to celebrate his knighthood amid the ongoing family rift with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz
David Beckham's children have heaped on the praise for their famous dad as he finally receives his knighthood. However, eldest son Brooklyn Beckham's response – or lack thereof – has said much more than his siblings'.
The football icon, 50, has tried for years to get recognition for his dedication to the sport and charity work. Now, his wishes have finally come true as he has been made a Sir and his wife Victoria Beckham a Lady.
In 2013, it seemed his chances were dashed when explosive emails were leaked where he reportedly lashed out at the Honours Committee for not including him on the list, referring to them as "unappreciative c***s." Time has moved on, thankfully for David, King Charles even dropped a hint last month when they met at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Charles asked him: 'You got it, didn't you?' Before David replied: 'It was incredible, thank you. It was very kind.' David, who is a proud dad to sons Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and daughter Harper, has been celebrated by his family as his achievement has become reality.
The announcement is some much needed good news for David as the family have been locked in a feud with eldest son Brooklyn, 26. Things came to a head when Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz skipped his 50th birthday celebrations as the drama has reportedly resulted in the couple cutting contact with the famous family.
Amid the scandal, David's children have come together to show their support. Cruz and Romeo have both shared gushing tributes on their social media pages. Romeo Beckham gushed over his pride for his dad in a sweet Instagram post, shared shortly after the news was released last night.
The 22 year old son of David and Victoria posted a photo of himself and his dad at David's 50th birthday celebration – which son Brooklyn was noticibly absent from – on his Instagram story. The image showed a smiling Romeo looking lovingly at his dad as David pulls a face at the camera.
"So so proud of you," Romeo gushed as he added four white heart emojis to the post. Meanwhile, David's son Cruz, 20, also shared his pride over his dad's big achievement with a gushing Instagram story share.
Musician Cruz posted a picture of his beloved dad smiling while sat in a forest and wrote on top: "I'm so proud dad I love you" before he added: "Sir David Beckham Has a nice ring to it".
Romeo, 22, shared a sweet four-word tribute to his dad on Instagram this morning alongside a black and white image with him. The message read: "So proud of you" whihc David later shared to his stories.
However, Brooklyn, who reportedly wasn't told about the accolade, has stayed silent about his dad's knighthood online – opting to posy like business is as usual. The silence speaks volumes as the wannabe chef shared three packets of pretzel pita chips on his Instagram story following the news that David was being made a Sir by His Majesty.
Doubling down on the refusal to post a tribute, Brooklyn shared a later snap on his Instagram story as he captured an image of a tin of caviar alongside a bottle of his brand, Cloud 23, hot sauce along with a bottle of wine and two drinking glasses.
Sadly, Brooklyn is allegedly ignoring messages from his parents. David reportedly didn't tell Brooklyn about the accolade, with his eldest son only finding out via the media. Sources close to Brooklyn, 26, told Page Six that he was thrilled his dad was finally receiving the honour and had known it was so important.
However, a separate source close to the Beckhams told the publication: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect."
Another source denied the claim as they said: "This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father."
Sir David said in a statement to the PA news agency: 'Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.
'To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation.
'I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.'

'Scared' Gemma Collins 'calls 999 after receiving abusive letter at her home'
The Only Way Is Essex icon Gemma Collins reportedly had to call the police after receiving a 'threatening and abusive' letter at her home A 'scared' Gemma Collins reportedly called the police after she received a 'threatening and abusive' letter at her home from a man who wrote about his extreme dislike for her. The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 44, called the cops, who then visited her home in the countryside. Following the reported incident, it has been said that the TV personality has upped her security with round the clock dog patrols and loved ones keeping her company. According to an insider, the Celebrity Big Brother icon was left 'shaken and very scared for her safety' after receiving the letter. The source said the abusive letter was from a "man expressing his extreme dislike for her and using menacing language." They added: "It was really nasty and made reference to tracking her down, so she called the police straight away." The Mirror have reached out to Gemma's representatives for comment. The source went on to tell The Sun that Gemma has been grateful to the police for their help in the "ongoing investigation". In May, Gemma revealed on a podcast that she had to deal with stalkers over the years, which "played havoc on her mind". Gemma said: 'No one would believe the bloody crap I've had to deal with. I've had a woman stalker who wrote me a letter in white gloves and wanted to kill me. "You know, people would wish me dead. I'd get all sorts at the shop. Weird. People are weird. And that's why in a way I came away from my shop in the end.' Meanwhile, Gemma has been struggling with her health in recent weeks. Earlier this week, a bedridden Gemma took to Instagram to share an update about her health, revealing that she had been seriously unwell for a number of weeks. In her post, which included a photo of the reality TV star laying in bed, she wrote: "Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon." In a further update on her Instagram Story, Gemma revealed she was receiving treatment via a drip and had been seen by a doctor. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs typically caused by an infection, and while most people recover within two to four weeks, infants, the elderly, and those with heart or lung conditions are at a higher risk of severe illness and may require hospitalisation. Luckily, Gemma has not had to go to hospital, but speaking to The Mirror, she admitted that she felt as though she was "dying".

Jesy Nelson's delight as twins daughters go home for the first time on her birthday
Jesy's twin girls were finally allowed to come home from the hospital on her birthday. Jesy Nelson has announced that her newborn twins have finally come home for the first time on her birthday. The 34-year-old former Little Mix star welcomed daughters Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster on 18 May with her boyfriend, Zion Foster. The babies arrived prematurely, two months early at 31 weeks and five days, following a high-risk pregnancy complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. The singer was in hospital for several months on bed rest after undergoing emergency surgery to save her unborn babies while they were still in the womb. Now Jesy has made the lovely announcement that she and her girls are back home almost one full month on after their birth, and it was extra special as the date also happened to be her birthday. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the proud mum posted a sweet snap of her doting over her daughters in her home. She wrote in an the caption alongside it: "My babies made it home for my birthday."

Last month, Jesy delighted fans when she reveled her children had arrived "healthy and fighting strong" after arriving prematurely. She also recently shared her experience with the girls in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). She wrote in an online post: "Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU. "It's the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies. "Naturally as a mother you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry but you can't because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them. Tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them, it breaks your heart into a million pieces. "But slowly as the days go by and they get stronger and wires start to come away, moments like this feel like a dream." The Black Magic singer expressed her joy over the fact her children were brought back together following treatment. She explained: "Having them reunited for the first time ever today was the most magical feeling I will never be able to describe. The strongest little girls I've ever known who really do have the most inspiring story to tell." Jesy and 25-year-old musician Zion first started dating in January 2022 and have had an on-off romance over the years. Zion has been at Jesy's side throughout her pregnancy and her lengthy stay in hospital. Jesy is set to bare all about her challenging pregnancy in a candid Prime Video documentary, created by the same team behind Molly-Mae Hague's popular docu-series. The streaming service has announced a six-part series, Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, which follows the former Little Mix star as she navigates motherhood.

For one snap, she took a mirror selfie while wearing a sparkling mini dress. In another photo, Vick is wearing a bikini and smiling for the camera alongside AJ Odudu. Vick and Calvin tied the knot back in 2023 - having begun dating in January 2022. And it's clear have solid foundations to give a baby the best possible early life. The couple have a stunning 138-acre organic farm in Ibiza, known as Terra Masia. The Spanish estate produces fruit, vegetables, eggs, and wine, and represents Harris's shift from jet-set lifestyle to a more rural affair. A source told The Sun in 2022: 'Calvin employs an expert team, including farmers and chefs, but he's also hands-on, regularly getting involved in planting and other farm activities. He's truly passionate about the project.' The Radio 1 star and international DJ Calvin enjoyed a baby shower with her friends and family in Ibiza a few weeks ago. Last month, Vick delighted fans at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend by asking them for baby name ideas. Calvin Harris set to become a dad for the first time as wife Vick Hope reveals pregnancy The presenter made sure to get stuck in at the Liverpool festival before heading off on maternity leave. She danced on platforms, soaked up the sunshine and asked the crowd for baby name suggestions with co-host Jamie Laing. In a video published by MailOnline, he said: 'Vick is about to go on maternity leave and she wants some help with some baby names, so if you can shout some names to me…' Thousands of festival-goers started yelling their best suggestions - with Vick giggling, 'OK, I got it,' before Jamie added, 'That's some good names in there!' Vick previously shared a photo of her in an orange bikini and an oversized white shirt, with her bump peaking through. Meanwhile, she was also seen staring adoringly at her growing stomach while wearing a flowy turquoise green summer dress. She captioned the post: "Touching grass lately: Friends, family, farmyard animals." Many fans were quick to share gushing messages of congratulations. One wrote: "Looking fabulous. This era suits you." A second posted: "Beautiful mama to be."
