Brooklyn Beckham’s gran Sandra reached out to him via a festive social media post after the rest of his family revealed they want him home for Christmas.
The influencer and chef, 26, who appears to spend much of his time filming Instagram content for his 16 million followers, has been notably absent from every key family event over the course of the year – among them his father’s milestone 50th birthday celebration and long awaited recent investiture.
And with his self-imposed estrangement expected to continue over Christmas, his grandmother Jackie Adams, Victoria Beckham’s mum, recently reached out in a hint she wants him to come home to the UK for the festive period.
Now, Brooklyn’s other grandma, his dad David’s mum Sandra, has also reached out to him on a festive social media post.
Brooklyn took to Instagram on Monday to share a video of himself wrapping a bottle of his own brand hot sauce Cloud23 in Christmas gifting paper.
‘That for me [confused face] [laughing face]❤️,’ his gran Sandra asked in a comment under the video.
It comes after his other grandmother Jackie publicly shared a picture of his personalised stocking hanging on the fireplace in a message to her grandson about coming home for Christmas.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Victoria shared a video of her mother’s festive display, tastefully ranged across a stone chimney breast in her front room.
Pinned above the hearth, identical red stockings for Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper are evident, alongside their numerous cousins.
Among them are Liberty, Tallulah, Finlay and Quincy, the four children Victoria’s younger sister Louise shares with her ex-husband, Darren Flood.
Captioning the video, the former Spice Girl wrote: ‘So many grandchildren!’
Friends of the Beckham family say that Jackie – and David’s mum Sandra – are ‘very sad’ at the rift that means they no longer see, especially because they were always so close.
Jackie spent a lot of time with Brooklyn when he was a baby and young toddler because David and Victoria were still working away a lot.
Sources say that Brooklyn was always so happy to see the two women at the many Beckham family get togethers.
‘David and Victoria are making peace with not having Brooklyn around, they are sad but they are having to accept it,’ says the source familiar with the fall out.
‘But it’s the grandmothers. They adore Brooklyn, they were so, so close to him. He loved them so much, he adored them in fact, but now they don’t see him.
‘They’re not getting any younger and the cold truth of it all is that nobody knows when they will see Brooklyn next. It’s Jackie and Sandra who everyone feels so sorry for amongst the whole family schism.’
Sources say that both Jackie and Sandra were ‘very surprised’ to see that Brooklyn and wife Nicola had renewed their wedding vows earlier this year without telling them.
The couple were also absent as Victoria celebrated the launch of her Netflix docuseries with family members in October.
The fashion designer was surrounded by her nearest and dearest at the London premiere while Brooklyn and his wife were thousands of miles away in Beverly Hills.
Despite the rift, his grandmother has been keen to maintain a connection with Brooklyn, and even commented on one of his recent cooking tutorials.
Brooklyn, whose culinary skills have often divided followers, won universal praise in October after preparing a delicious looking beef wellington.
But it was a telling comment from Jackie which stood out, with the proud grandmother posting: ‘That looks amazing Brooklyn. Lots of love.’
In a recent interview, Victoria spoke about the ‘changing dynamics’ in her family in the midst of her feud with her son.
The fashion designer appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper and spoke about her ‘close family’, but did not reference Brooklyn directly.
She said: ‘I mean, we’re such a close family and, you know, communication is key and we always let them know that anything that they want to talk about, you know, this is a safe forum. You know, that’s really important.’
