Victoria and David Beckham flouted their estranged son Brooklyn’s requests to be distanced from their family by including him in their Mother’s Day celebrations.
On Sunday, the US and Australia marked Mother’s Day, during which David shared a post branding his wife ‘the best mum’, before Victoria took to Instagram to share a sweet image of the gifts her husband had bestowed upon her.
Victoria, who is mother to Brooklyn, 27, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, snapped a picture of a stunning bouquet of white roses placed on a table at their Holland Park home alongside a set of five casts of babies’ hands and feet.
In 2011, ahead of the arrival of Harper, it was reported that the couple were making gold-plated casts of her hands and feet by London company First Impressions, using kits costing £1,000 at the time.
Despite the sweet nature of the post, the presence of five casts sparked confusion among fans and followers, who queried who the fifth set belonged to.

David’s post comes amid the Beckham family’s feud with their eldest son.
Back in January, Brooklyn announced his disassociation from his family – declaring he was no longer part of ‘Brand Beckham’ and insisting his parents are ‘performative’ as well as accusing Victoria of ‘dancing inappropriately’ at his wedding.
Brooklyn now shares an endless stream of adoration for his in-laws – Nicola’s parents, Nelson Peltz, 83, and former model Claudia, 71.
On Friday, Nicola, 31, appeared to take another swipe at the Beckhams amid their ongoing feud as she took to Instagram with a cosy snap.
Taking to social media, she posted a sweet photo of her and the wannabe chef beaming alongside her billionaire parents Nelson and Claudia.
She captioned the snap: ‘My whole heart and world in one photo’.
It comes after Brooklyn also alleged that his family values ‘public promotion and endorsements above all else’, adding that ‘Brand Beckham comes first’.
Appearing on Emma Grede’s podcast Aspire this week, fashion designer Victoria, 52, said building their £500million empire known as ‘Brand Beckham’ was ‘never their intention’ and insisted she wasn’t a ‘pushy parent’.

During the interview, Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Emma asked the Spice Girls star about how she decides what ‘remains personal’ and what is part of Brand Beckham.
The line of questioning appeared to allude to Brooklyn’s scathing six-page statement, in which he claimed he had been ‘controlled’ by his parents for most of his life with ‘performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships’.
Seemingly hitting back, Victoria told Emma: ‘When David and I first met it was never our intention to start a brand.
‘People talk about “Brand Beckham” – that has happened so organically. When I first met David, I mean he was a Brylcreem boy.
‘So David was Adidas and Brylcreem and Pepsi and I was in the Spice Girls and that’s where I learnt so much about how to build a brand and marketing.
In March, David reached out to Brooklyn for his birthday
‘While he was doing Brylcreem and Adidas, the Spice Girls were doing Walkers crisps, Pepsi, Chupa Chups lollies, deodorant.
‘Do you know? True story, my mother still has a Spice Girls’ pizza in her oven. That pizza’s been in the freezer for thirty odd years. So when, people talk about “Brand Beckham”, that was never something that we even discussed.’
Victoria insisted as their success grew, they remained focused on their separate projects, with David working on building his football club Inter Miami, while she created her fashion and beauty empire.
She continued: ‘We don’t have any deals together. David does what David does, I do what I do.
‘That’s the way it’s always been. We have very different interests. I think it was the outside world that really talked about Brand Beckham, that’s never really how we saw it. We’re just doing what we do.’
