Brooklyn Beckham takes dig at dad David with birthday message to Nicola's father
Brooklyn Beckham has made a statement by wishing a happy birthday to his wife Nicola Peltz's father, after snubbing his own dad's birthday.
The 26-year-old star is rumoured to be in the midst of a rift with his family.
The family – including Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and daughter Harper, 13 – shared heartfelt posts for Sir David's 50th birthday, but Brooklyn was conspicuous by his absence at any celebration or in joining his family's public well wishes.
He similarly ignored his mother's 51st birthday weeks later. The influencer even stayed silent on Father's Day and after the news of Sir David's knighthood, which his siblings celebrated on social media.
The star and his wife have reportedly kept their distance from his family in recent months, with a source close to the former photographer's mum, Victoria, recently telling Metro she is 'heartbroken' over the apparent rift.
Brooklyn has now taken to Instagram to wish his father-in-law, Nelson, a happy birthday with a short message – making his lack of public birthday wishes for his own parents all the more glaring.
Posting a picture of Nelson, him, and his wife posing for the camera, Brooklyn wrote: 'Happy birthday, Nelson, we love you.'
Nicola is the daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz. The pair have been married for over 30 years and have eight children together, including Nicola.
During an interview with Byrdie in February 2024, Nicola said of her family: 'Family is everything to me, and I mean that with my whole heart,' she said.
'I go to Florida any chance I get, and we stay at my parents' house. It honestly makes me so happy to wake up and have my siblings around. It's really hard to get us all in the same place because there are so many of us. When we're all together, it's so fun.'
The post comes after eagle-eyed fans noticed Brooklyn had a tattoo tribute to his mother covered up.
He used to have 'mama's boy' in a typewriter-style font over his heart, referencing their close relationship.
Now, though, the words have been hidden within a sketch of Nicola's bouquet from their wedding day, which comes after he vowed to 'always choose' his other half. More Trending
Brooklyn first showed off the tattoo in 2017 when he was just 18 years old.
It comes as his fashion designer mother is reportedly desperate for him to patch things up with his dad.
'Victoria hates to think about her family being so divided, especially with it involving one of her children. Brooklyn's absence at David's 50th birthday party was noticeable, and she desperately wished he would have been there,' a source told Metro.
'She's hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are. They've always been a close-knit family, and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.'

Unexpected breakthrough for Barney and Zack in EastEnders
Zack Hudson (James Farrar) might finally be able to form a bond with his son Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman) in EastEnders. Last month, Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) discovered that his wife Nicola (Laura Doddington) had an affair with Zack 16 years ago, and she fell pregnant. Their eldest son Harry (Elijah Holloway) was left reeling from the news, and decided to kidnap Zack – bundling him into the boot of a car and driving off into the woods. Although Teddy was furious, he didn't want anything bad to happen and charged after them both. In a dramatic turn of events, a dazed and confused Zack distracted Teddy behind the wheel and the car went plunging into some icy waters. It really didn't seem like anyone would make it out alive. Teddy stumbled onto the riverbank, while Zack was presumed dead. Luckily, he survived, but was in for a further amount of heartbreak when Barney decided that he didn't want a relationship with him. Nicola has since tried to gloss over the situation – this week hosting a Half-Christmas celebration to try and distract her stressed and broken teenage son. Harry was less than enthusiastic about the festivities, and decided to invite Zack along, telling him that Barney was hopeful of his attendance. Blissfully unaware that this was just a giant fib, Zack wandered in to No. 1 in tonight's episode with a gift for his son. Nicola ordered him out, but Teddy remained silent. Mortified by the reception, Zack left, but told Barney that he would forever be there should he need him. Later, an emotional Barns' headed to the cafe, where Teddy sat down for a heart to heart. He assured him that although they weren't biologically related, nothing had changed and he still considered him as his child. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

In a surprising move, Teddy gave his blessing for Barney to get to know Zack better. Barney asserted that he already had a dad and had no intentions of changing that. More Trending Opening his present, it contained a number of vouchers for a local book shop. He was warmed by the gesture, and when Zack arrived, asked if they'd like to get to know one another better as friends. It wasn't exactly how Zack had wanted things to go, but it was a step in the right direction. View More » Is this the start of some happiness for the two?

Emmerdale reveals outcome of Robert's spiking ordeal as John takes control
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) played a very clever game after watching Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) get spiked in Emmerdale. Yesterday, Robert had his drink drugged by a man he was on a date with. Conveniently, John was also at The Hide sorting his van out, and watched the situation unfold. Desperate to get rid of his brother, John realised that having him drugged would be the perfect opportunity. He waited for Robert to drink the liquid, threw him in the van, and drove off. The start of tonight's episode allowed us to learn that John changed tactics and did not go as far as murdering his sibling. Instead, he called Victoria (Isabel Hodgins), who agreed with the idea of keeping Robert in the van overnight while the drug wore off. Weird to us, but whatever. In the morning, Robert woke up and was terribly confused. As he panicked, the van doors opened and he saw John with a syringe in his hand. He tackled his brother to the ground, and was confused when Vic approached, aware of what was going on. John spun a story and made it seem as though he had every intention of helping Robert. The medicine in his hand was to calm him down, but Robert struggled to believe him. Because the story was backed up by Vic, it fuelled the perception that John was doing everything in his power to help their brother. He had seemingly thought about everything, including that it would've created more problems for Robert if the hospital learnt about his spiking. Vic spent the entire day stuck in the middle of her brothers. One minute John was telling her that Robert is a dangerous man and then the next, Robert was trying to convince Vic that John is bad news. Taking action, Vic took John and Robert to a piece of land. She explained that not too long ago, their relatives would spend hours looking after the farm, and wouldn't let family fights bother them for long, because they had to work together.

Vic hoped that the pep talk would inspire John and Robert to clear the air. They decided that they would, which left Vic surprised. More Trending As she walked away, it became apparent that John and Robert had no intention of ending their feud. They shook hands and hugged which impressed Vic, but that's because she didn't hear what either of them said. John is still certain he can get rid of Robert, who is still adamant he won't be leaving the village anytime soon. View More » But who will get the upper hand?
