Brooklyn Beckham's decision to skip his father's landmark 50th birthday celebration wasn't without a profound reason, at least according to those in his immediate circle. Whisperings from individuals close to the 26-year-old suggest that his absence, alongside his wife Nicola Peltz, from David Beckham's bash stemmed from a shadowy episode from the past resurfacing.
It seems that Brooklyn, Nicola, and their parents Victoria and David, alongside their siblings, have been grappling with a simmering familial rift since Brooklyn tied the knot with Nicola. A confidential source revealed that the couple chose to steer clear of David's milestone celebration due to the unexpected presence of Romeo Beckham's then-girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who had once shared a romantic entanglement with Brooklyn.
Kim's appearance at the event reportedly cast a pall of discomfort over Brooklyn, prompting him to voice his reservations to his father. But despite Brooklyn's complaints, David allegedly went ahead with his plans to include Kim, prioritizing her presence over his daughter-in-law's.
Another source came to the couple's defense, sharing that Brooklyn and Nicola had journeyed from the US to London with the intention of either joining the festivities or arranging a more cozy dinner with David. However, their earnest efforts seemed to fall on deaf ears, as they struggled to carve out a moment in David's tightly-packed schedule. The pair reportedly waited for six days to catch up with the soccer icon, but to no avail.
In the days leading up to the bash, an insider conceded that tensions were indeed escalating between Brooklyn, Nicola, and the Beckham clan. According to PEOPLE, the source emphasized that while their relationship wasn't beyond mending, there was undeniable hurt and disappointment that Brooklyn had seemingly distanced himself from family life.
"They love him deeply and are always ready to support him. But they're hurt and disappointed that he's now choosing to play no active role in family dynamics," the source divulged, painting a poignant picture of a fractured yet loving family bond.
