Across the nation, families gathered on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day, honoring the exceptional women in their lives who have been instrumental in their journeys. The festive spirit even reached the glittering realm of Hollywood, as celebrities took to social media to commemorate the special day.
Among those sharing heartfelt tributes was soccer legend David Beckham, who made a particularly meaningful post on his Instagram story. He shared a snapshot of his wife, Victoria, cradling their newborn daughter Harper, while their three sons – Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz – encircled her, painting a picture of familial bliss.
"Happy Mother's Day to the best mommy," Beckham captioned the post, thoughtfully acknowledging that he was referring to the American celebration, given that Mother's Day in their native United Kingdom falls in March. He tagged all his children, including his eldest son, Brooklyn, in the heartwarming message.
However, despite the public display of unity, rumors have been swirling about a rift between David and Brooklyn, fueled by familial tensions, according to Page Six. Reports suggested that Brooklyn and Romeo were at odds over Romeo's new romance with Kim Turnbull, whom Brooklyn had allegedly dated years prior. This familial drama reportedly culminated in Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, skipping both of David's 50th birthday parties this year, possibly as a gesture of protest against the new relationship.
Earlier this month, TMZ delved deeper into the family dynamics, claiming that David and Victoria might have also played a part in Brooklyn's estrangement from the rest of the family. The outlet revealed that David allegedly "verbally berates" his son over the phone, while Peltz was upset with Victoria for sending texts as if she were unaware of David's tirade.
Furthermore, despite Brooklyn and Peltz being "available for months to discuss the ongoing drama," David and Victoria allegedly refrained from engaging with them because Peltz "always talks back and stands up for Brooklyn," according to TMZ. The family drama even extended to social media, with one faction allegedly refusing to share content posted by the other.
While headlines might be dominated by tales of this alleged "feud," David Beckham's social media post suggests a different narrative – one of family harmony and love.
