Romeo Beckham received an outpouring of birthday tributes from his family on Monday morning as he turned 23, but his brother Brooklyn continued to ignore his family’s milestones.
Dad David was the first to post, sharing a childhood snap of his middle son as he gushed: ‘You are kind, humble, polite, hard working and the most special person to everyone we love you so much.’
The proud dad ended the sweet post by telling the birthday boy ‘have the most special day HAPPY BIRTHDAY big boy’.
Victoria uploaded a recent snap of Romeo from their summer holiday, captioning the post: ‘Happy birthday! You are our everything, we love you so much ♥️ Your love and kindness fills our hearts every day!’
And while Romeo’s little brother Cruz and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel also shared their love via Instagram posts, his older brother Brooklyn ignored the big day.
Instead he posted updates from his new life in Beverly Hills with wife Nicola Peltz, as he stopped by wellness spot Pura Vida, sharing their slogan ‘another day in paradise’.
It’s the latest family celebration Brooklyn has ignored as his feud with his parents rumbles on amid allegations of a widening family rift.
Romeo and his dad David have a particularly close bond amid the rift, with the pair showing off their striking resemblance on Instagram on Saturday.
David, 50, took to his Instagram Stories to share a snap of Romeo rocking his signature buzz cut and a pair of black shades from his dad’s luxury eyewear brand, EYEWEAR by DAVID BECKHAM.
Captioning the shot, David cheekily asked: ‘Who wore them best?’ tagging both his son and his brand.
He then followed up with a close-up selfie of himself in the same black sunglasses and matching buzz cut – and the resemblance between the pair was uncanny.
In a follow-up caption, the proud dad wrote: ‘But great glasses @dbeyewear Romeo wins.’
It comes days after Brooklyn made another thinly veiled jibe at his family during a recent video with renowned chef Michel Roux Jr.
The Beckhams are said to no longer be on speaking terms with Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, who recently renewed their vows without inviting the Beckham family.
During a clip shared to his Instagram page, Brooklyn couldn’t resist taking a swipe at his estranged family as he insisted the meal was the only thing he’d fly back home for.
Brooklyn and his family were last pictured together on Boxing Day last year, and he has seemingly not spent any time with them in the UK since then.
He has only jetted back to his home country for work commitments since, including shooting a Moncler advert with his wife Nicola.
At the start of the hot sauce advert with Michel Roux Jr, the chef says: ‘We are always looking for new dishes here at the Wigmore, but based on great classics. So gammon, egg and chips is a great British classic.’
Brooklyn doesn’t specify when he is referring to, but does wistfully say: ‘I used to have this every Tuesday night. I love gammon. You can’t go wrong with gammon, egg and chips.’
While his mother has famously eaten largely the same meal of steamed fish and vegetables for decades, his father is a dab hand in the kitchen, so the gammon and chips may be something he whipped up for the children.
Once the finished dish was revealed, Roux claimed that it would be a ‘hot seller’ and had no doubt that it would be ‘flying out of the kitchen’.
Brooklyn then pointedly quipped: ‘I’m definitely going to just come to London to have that’, which seemed like a dig at his estranged family.
The Beckhams have been snubbed by Brooklyn and his wife Nicola after they said ‘I do’ for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent, having not been informed of the event.
Further heartache has come in the form of a leak of Brooklyn’s speech, in which he reportedly opened up on his love for the Peltz family, as well as speaking ‘movingly’ of his wife in front of the 200 guests.
A source told The Mirror: ‘He spoke from the heart – and at the centre of his heart is Nicola whom he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognise them all, and was determined to do them all justice.’
News of the ‘heartfelt tribute’ to billionaire Nelson Peltz, 83, and wife Claudia, 70, will no doubt add to the pain of the Beckham family amid their estrangement from Brooklyn, since it is said that no such tribute was given for his own parents.
While Brooklyn enjoyed his love-fest overseas, the Beckhams enjoyed a prolonged stint in the south of France before heading to Italy.
Brooklyn is reportedly ‘heartbroken’ over the way his wife Nicola is being ‘painted as a viper’ within their ongoing family feud.
Billionaire heiress Nicola has previously been accused of ‘isolating’ Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too.
New sources allege Brooklyn is not being held from making his own decisions and is ‘devastated’ over the way his wife is being portrayed.
A source told The Mirror: ‘It’s so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola.
‘Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose. It breaks Brooklyn’s heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper.’
