David Beckham’s Rare All-Kids Father’s Day Shout-Out Amid Brooklyn-Romeo Feud
Not to flex, but David Beckham just dropped the ultimate Father’s Day flex by publicly honoring all four of his children—yes, even Brooklyn—despite the ongoing brotherly fallout. The soccer icon took to Instagram on Sunday with a candid post that felt more like a personal note than a celebrity PSA. He captioned a carousel of nostalgic throwbacks “My most important and favorite job in life is being a dad. I’m so proud of all of you. Like daddy—sorry boys—tells you every day, I’ll always be here for you no matter what.” That last bit, obviously a nod to the drama with eldest son Brooklyn, who’s been on the outs with brother Romeo for months.
Becks didn’t stop there. He slid in a heartfelt shout-out to wife Victoria, writing, “Mummy, thank you for the most important part—making me a father. There’s no greater gift in life.” Cue the collective “aww” from fans across the globe. The throwback snaps featured all four kids—Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and little Harper—complete with tagged accounts for his three sons and a portrait of his daughter that radiated vintage family album vibes.
The comments section was a feel-good zone for everyone except maybe Brooklyn. Younger brothers Cruz and Romeo chimed in almost instantly—Cruz penned, “You mean the world to us and inspire us every single day, Dad, I love you,” while Romeo added a simple “Love you always.” Meanwhile, there’s radio silence from Brooklyn, who’s been MIA in the comment game ever since things blew up between him and Romeo. According to TMZ, the brothers haven’t talked since Romeo started dating Brooklyn’s ex, model Kim Turnbull, a relationship that Brooklyn openly questioned. Sources tell PEOPLE the tension reached peak levels around David’s 50th birthday bash last spring, when Brooklyn and partner Nicola Peltz tried to arrange a private sit-down with David and Victoria outside the main event—only to be met with a strict “big party or nothing” family decree.
Despite the awkwardness, Dad’s message was clear: family first, no matter the drama. And while fans are calling it one of Beckham’s most sincere social-media moments yet, the real question is whether this public olive branch will thaw the Brooklyn-Romeo freeze. Will a tagged shout-out be enough to reopen lines of communication, or is this just another milestone in a long-running sibling saga? Either way, it’s peak celebrity family theatre, and we’re here for it. Anyway, that’s the vibe. Do what you will.
