Victoria and David Beckham‘s estranged son got a Father’s Day shoutout, whether he wanted one or not.
Brooklyn Beckham‘s parents used the special day to share a pair of tributes that pointedly included their estranged eldest son, and fans noticed the strategy right away.
Victoria and David Beckham have spent over a year trying to win back their son in the most public way imaginable. This latest move suggests they have not given up hope.
Victoria Beckham Includes Brooklyn In Father’s Day Celebration
Victoria shared a carousel of family photos on Instagram Sunday morning, including a sunny vacation snapshot of David surrounded by all four of their children.
“David, you truly are the best daddy. Your greatest achievement has always been our beautiful children, and we love you so much. Happy Father’s Day,” she captioned the post.
The carousel leaned heavily on nostalgia, featuring several throwback family photos that included Brooklyn alongside his siblings, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
David Beckham Follows Wife’s Lead With Inclusive Father’s Day Post
David followed with his own message a few hours later on Instagram, sharing a mix of nostalgic family photos, including a black-and-white throwback of his children when they were younger.
“Being a dad is my most important job. I love you all and thank you, Mummy @victoriabeckham, for giving me our beautiful family. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads around the world,” he wrote.
Among the images was a solo shot of David with Brooklyn as a child, a detail fans quickly flagged as another deliberate nod toward reconciliation.
The post quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments, with fans flooding the comment section to praise David’s continued effort to keep the door open for his son.
Brooklyn Beckham’s Dad Quietly Acknowledged Him Earlier
This is not the first time David has used a public milestone to include his estranged son. The Blast reported that he gave Brooklyn a rare nod while celebrating his wedding anniversary with Victoria last year.
“26 years today, you said YES to me. Happy Anniversary, and thank you for giving me our beautiful children,” he wrote at the time, tagging all four of their children, including Brooklyn, despite their strained relationship.
The gesture stood out given that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, made no public mention of the anniversary themselves, choosing instead to share photos featuring just the two of them.
Victoria Opened Up About Putting Family First Through Hard Times
Victoria has previously addressed how she and David manage the ongoing strain within their family. The Blast reported that she discussed their approach during an appearance on “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle,” describing how they navigate a “challenging year.”
“We always put our children first. We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children, but we laugh a lot,” she said. “David Beckham is really, super funny.”
The interview came as Victoria celebrated her 52nd birthday, a milestone that prompted reflection on her nearly three-decade relationship with David. She credited their long-standing bond for helping the family push through difficult moments.
Victoria also opened up about the closeness she shares with her husband, noting that their connection has only deepened over the years despite mounting public scrutiny. The couple has been married for 27 years, having first crossed paths at the height of her Spice Girls fame.
Her comments offered a rare glimpse into how the couple has chosen to cope privately, even as their family’s struggles continue to play out publicly.
Victoria & David Beckham’s Family Remains Hurt By The Lingering Feud
Despite their public gestures, sources close to the family say the rift with Brooklyn continues to weigh heavily behind the scenes. Insiders reportedly described the family as “terribly sad” over how long the freeze-out has lasted.
“Everyone is getting on with their lives, even though it’s terribly sad they’re not in contact with Brooklyn,” a source told Page Six. Brooklyn has reportedly missed major family milestones, including his father’s 50th birthday celebration.
With repeated olive branches extended and no public response from Brooklyn so far, will Victoria and David Beckham’s latest Father’s Day gesture finally be the one that brings their family back together?
