David Beckham is grateful for a fulfilling year — with no mention of any drama with his son Brooklyn.
“I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner,” Beckham, 50, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, December 31, sharing a carousel of Instagram pics from the past year. “I’m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all.”
David and his wife, Victoria Beckham, are parents of sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, as well as daughter Harper, 14. Throughout the year, David and Victoria, 51, have been estranged from Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz.
“As Sir Alex Ferguson would say, ‘Onto the next.’ ❤️,” David concluded his Wednesday tribute. “Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025. @victoriabeckham I love you and our kids ❤️.”
Why Brooklyn Beckham ‘Has No Interest’ in Ending ‘Huge Rift’ With Family
David uploaded multiple photos on Wednesday, many of which featured Victoria, Romeo, Cruz and Harper alongside his famous friends and additional moments from his knighthood ceremony. Brooklyn was notably absent from the entire slideshow.
While David did not publicly address whether he intentionally excluded Brooklyn from the photo montage, he was recently blocked by his firstborn on social media.
“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son,” Cruz wrote via his Instagram Stories earlier this month. “Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I.”
Brooklyn has remained quiet about his alleged social media activity, shortly after addressing where he stood with his relatives.
“Everyone is always going to say rubbish,” the Cloud23 founder told the Daily Mail in September. “I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun. There’s always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife. Me and her, we just do our thing. We just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.”
Brooklyn and Peltz, 30, have been married since 2022 and renewed their wedding vows this summer without any member of the Beckham family in attendance.
“Brooklyn has no interest in mending things at this time,” a source exclusively told Us in October. “He’s really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life with Nicola. They’ve built their own world together and are very content in it. They want to let things settle naturally rather than trying to fix something that still feels tense.”
Brooklyn Beckham Breaks Silence on Family Feud With Parents and Brothers
Brooklyn and Peltz also skipped David’s milestone 50th birthday party, his investiture ceremony, Victoria’s eponymous documentary premiere and the family’s winter holiday celebrations.
“The relationships are all still strained,” the insider added to Us in the fall, claiming Brooklyn still has “a huge rift” with his parents and brothers. “David and Victoria have always been about family first, so seeing that distance, especially during milestones that mean so much to them, has been incredibly hard.”
