The Beckham brood celebrated Easter separately over the weekend amid reports of a rift within the family. 

David, 49, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snap of himself and wife Victoria, 50, wearing bunny ears before uploading throwback snaps of children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13. 

While the three youngest children spent the weekend with their parents, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were noticeably absent from the festivities. 

The couple spent the weekend together, both sharing the same snap of the aspiring chef with a Lindt chocolate bunny. 

Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother’s birthday last week, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her. 

Neither the former pH๏τographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday on Thursday, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages.

The Mail later revealed relations are said, once more, to be ‘strained’ between Brooklyn and Nicola, and his mum and dad – just weeks away from David’s planned ‘intimate family’ 50th birthday bash.

Instead, the young couple – who married in an eye-wateringly lavish wedding in Palm Beach, Florida in 2022 – chose to share pictures of their trip to the Coachella music festival in Indio, California. 

On May 2, David turns 50, and wife Victoria has been meticulously planning a top-secret trip to mark this milestone.

The Daily Mail said on Friday that the location is a picturesque, remote spot in Europe and friends say it will be a ‘family affair’ for the couple, their sons and partners and, of course, youngest daughter Harper.

It will mirror the celebration thrown by David last April to mark Victoria’s half-century. Then, the Beckham clan, plus WAGs, jetted off for a meal at the £200-a-head restaurant La Colombe d’Or on the French Riviera.

While the location is different this time, Victoria was hoping her husband’s celebration would be as idyllic as her own.

However, a dark cloud hangs over the preparations for the former England captain’s big day – after Brooklyn snubbed his mother’s birthday. 

There are also fears Brooklyn and his wife may suddenly decide not to accompany the rest of the family to David’s birthday celebrations.

‘David adores his sons and he is so, so proud of how close they are,’ an ᴀssociate revealed. ‘He loves having a happy family that loves spending time together.

‘Family is everything to him. He is a working class boy who grew up with strong connections to his grandparents and parents, and he loves nothing more than to see his boys, and Harper, being so close. 

‘While the location will be perfect and stunning, what he wants most is for his family to be around him, happily getting along. Right now, though, things aren’t great. 

‘All everyone around them hopes is that they can mend any issues in time for the big day – for David.’

This wouldn’t be the first time Brooklyn and Nicola have been missing on family occasions: they have been notably absent for numerous family get-togethers over the past 12 months.

But to miss David’s 50th birthday would, say those close to him, be incredibly hurtful.

Friends of the Beckhams have also claimed Brooklyn told his parents he will come, while they are said to also be ‘expecting’ Nicola to turn up.

Yet doubts clearly remain: ‘Both have very much been invited as much-loved members the family,’ the friend said. 

‘But you never know, Brooklyn and Nicola will do what they want to do.’

Another friend said: ‘It would absolutely destroy David if any fall-outs carry on and become big deals. 

‘It would be the best birthday present ever for David to have all of his children and their partners happily having a wonderful time together. That’s what really puts a smile on his face.’
