David and Victoria Beckham celebrate Brooklyn Beckham’s 27th birthday despite family drama

David and Victoria Beckham are marking a special family milestone as their eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, turns 27. On Wednesday, March 4, both parents shared heartfelt birthday messages and nostalgic photos on Instagram Stories to celebrate Brooklyn’s big day, offering a rare public glimpse into their family bond.

The posts featured throwback images from Brooklyn’s childhood and highlighted the affection the couple still shares for their firstborn.

David Beckham Shares Emotional Birthday Tribute to Brooklyn

Former soccer star David Beckham posted two nostalgic photographs on his Instagram Stories, both capturing moments from Brooklyn’s younger years. The first image showed David and his wife, Victoria Beckham, smiling in a swimming pool while a young Brooklyn stood between them, grinning at the camera. “We love you x,” David added, tagging Victoria.

“27 Today,” the former professional athlete wrote alongside the photo, adding a teary-eyed smiling emoji. A second image — a black and white throwback — showed a slightly older Brooklyn posing with his father. David kept the message simple but affectionate.

“Happy Birthday Bust,” he wrote, adding a pink heart emoji.

“Love you x,” he added in another note, again tagging Victoria.

Brooklyn, whose full name is Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, is the oldest of David and Victoria’s four children.

Victoria Beckham Shares Her Own Birthday Messages

Victoria also marked the occasion with her own heartfelt posts.

The fashion designer reshared the same pool photo that David had posted earlier, pairing it with a loving message.

“Happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much,” she wrote, adding a red love heart emoji.

The mother of four then posted another throwback image — a black and white photograph of herself holding Brooklyn when he was a baby.

“Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn, I love you so much,” she wrote, adding five red heart emojis. The image was a familiar one for longtime fans. Victoria previously shared the same photograph on Instagram last year while celebrating Brooklyn’s birthday.

Family Tensions Remain a Topic of Attention

The public birthday wishes arrive after a period of reported tension within the Beckham family. The Beckhams have largely remained quiet about their family dynamics since Brooklyn made a series of accusations against his parents earlier this year on Instagram Stories.

In January, Brooklyn claimed his parents had been trying to sabotage his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. Among the allegations, Brooklyn wrote that his parents had been attempting “endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola and accused them of valuing publicity and endorsements over family relationships.

He also claimed they attempted to “bribe” him into “signing away the rights” to his name ahead of his wedding and alleged that Victoria “hijacked” his wedding dance with Nicola and “danced inappropriately on me.”

“I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private,” Brooklyn wrote at the time. “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.” 

He added that reconciliation was not something he was seeking. “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he said.

Brooklyn Beckham Focuses on Marriage and Work

Despite the public attention surrounding his family relationships, Brooklyn has taken a calmer tone when discussing his personal life in interviews. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said he tries to avoid getting drawn into outside commentary. “People will always say silly things,” he said. “My wife is my priority. She supports me completely, and we’re just doing our thing — focusing on work and being happy.”

Brooklyn and Nicola married in April 2022 in a high-profile wedding that drew significant media attention. Reports at the time noted that tensions within the family appeared to intensify around the period leading up to the ceremony.

The couple renewed their vows this past summer, although members of the Beckham family were not present at the celebration.

A Milestone Birthday for the Beckham Family

While speculation around the family’s relationship continues to circulate, David and Victoria’s birthday tributes show a clear message of love for their eldest child.

For fans who have followed the Beckham family for decades, the nostalgic photos serve as a reminder of the close-knit moments that shaped their early years — long before headlines and public disagreements entered the picture.

As Brooklyn celebrates another year, his parents’ public messages highlight a milestone that remains meaningful for the entire family.
