Cruz Beckham celebrated his 21st birthday on February 20, 2026, with a mix of music, laughter, and heartfelt tributes from his closest family members.
The milestone came with a lavish “Grand Beatles Ball” in Mayfair, where guests feasted on cheeseburgers, chicken burgers, and fish tacos at The Maine.
Cruz, sporting a vintage suit more reminiscent of Buster Keaton than the Fab Four, even joined his mother Victoria Beckham in resurrecting her iconic Spice Girls peace pose.
The young musician also took to the stage with his band, Cruz Beckham & The Breakers, performing live as a Beatles tribute act rounded out the evening.

“Happy 21st birthday to my little boy. Not so little anymore but the proudest thing that I am of you is the person and man that you have become,” he wrote.

You are on your own journey in life and you are working hard and having fun which is what life is all about… We love you Cruzie and hope you have the most amazing day because you deserve to.”
The montage David shared included footage of Cruz as a child, playing guitar and piano, holidaying with his family, and enjoying moments with his siblings, including Brooklyn, before the rift emerged. “Well done mum on bringing up another special young man,” David added, giving a nod to Victoria.

You have worked so hard and learned your craft, the world is now your oyster. We love you so much!!”
She also shared clips of Cruz performing an acoustic version of ‘Somethin’ Stupid’ with his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, and throwbacks from his infancy. “You’ve been the exact same since day 0,” Victoria captioned one post.
Cruz’s siblings joined the celebrations in their own ways. Romeo Beckham shared a throwback of himself with an infant Cruz alongside Victoria, captioned simply, “Love you bro.”

Despite the jubilant atmosphere, Brooklyn’s absence was notably felt. Now based in the United States with his actress wife, Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn has publicly distanced himself from the family.
© Marc PiaseckiHis estrangement has included unfollowing his parents and siblings on social media, skipping family events, and opting out of appearances in Victoria Beckham’s recent Netflix docuseries. He also missed David’s 50th birthday in May 2025 and the former footballer’s investiture at Windsor Castle in November.
Brooklyn addressed his fans directly in a lengthy Instagram statement earlier this year, detailing his reasons for stepping away from the family.
