Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, were absent from the Beckham family’s recent celebration for Harper’s 15th birthday in West Palm Beach, Florida. Held at Sant Ambroeus, the event drew David and Victoria Beckham, their younger children Romeo and Cruz, and their partners. Photos of the celebration, published by The New York Post’s Page Six, documented Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence amid his continuing estrangement from his parents.
The rift has become increasingly visible at major family occasions. At David Beckham’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in Los Angeles on June 12, 2026, Victoria and the couple’s younger children, Harper, Romeo and Cruz, were present; Brooklyn and Nicola were absent. Shortly afterward, Victoria posted a Father’s Day photo featuring all her children. The image did not resolve questions about the family’s strained relations, while contrasting public appearances continued to draw attention to who was and was not present.
While the Beckhams gathered in Florida, Brooklyn and Nicola attended another family occasion: the wedding of Nicola’s brother, Will Peltz, to Kenya Kinski-Jones. Brooklyn shared wedding images on social media, including a photograph of himself with Nicola, and marked the sixth anniversary of their engagement just days earlier. The couple married in Palm Beach in April 2022, a wedding that became the earliest widely publicized flashpoint in the family dispute. Subsequent coverage has focused on disagreements over the wedding planning, including Nicola’s dress and the reception dance. Accounts of what happened differ among those involved.
Brooklyn set out his allegations publicly in an social media Stories statement in January, saying, “I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private.” He accused his parents of trying to damage his relationship with Nicola and said they had prioritized publicity and commercial interests. He also wrote, “I do not want to reconcile with my family,” and rejected suggestions that he was being controlled: “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.” Brooklyn said his parents and their team continued speaking to the press, prompting him to give his own account. These are his allegations; the family’s competing accounts have not resolved the underlying dispute.
Victoria addressed the situation in an April interview, saying, “All we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children,” and declined to discuss it in detail. David has likewise treated the dispute as private and has not offered a detailed public rebuttal. The contrast between Brooklyn’s specific public allegations and his parents’ limited comments has left their positions on the basic claims largely unreconciled.
The Beckhams’ prominence has made family milestones and public appearances a focus of sustained media attention. Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from Harper’s birthday, following their absence from David’s June ceremony, is part of that visible pattern. Their attendance at the Peltz family wedding documents a separate public commitment, but does not by itself establish why family members were absent from one another’s events. The public record shows continuing distance, while the reasons for it remain disputed.
