David Beckham marked Father’s Day with a public message to Brooklyn
David Beckham, 50, marked Father’s Day with a public message to his eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, despite ongoing reports of a rift within the family.
The former footballer shared a heartfelt tribute to all four of his children on Instagram, but also posted a separate message to Brooklyn.
The short message came after weeks of speculation surrounding the family’s relationship with Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, 26, has remained quiet on social media and has not posted a tribute to David for Father’s Day.
The message from David follows reports that the aspiring chef did not attend his father’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.
The event was attended by David’s wife Victoria, 51, and their three younger children: Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
Brooklyn was also notably absent from public posts congratulating David on receiving his knighthood, which was announced over the weekend.
David opens up in personal message:
In a separate Instagram post, David reflected on the importance of being a father.
He wrote: “My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of you all and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…”
He went on to thank Victoria for her role in raising their children, adding: “Mummy, thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day. I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”
The post included photos of David with all four of his children, though some of the images dated back several years.
Victoria also shared her own tribute to David on Instagram, posting a video of him singing Sherry by The Four Seasons with Brooklyn, Cruz, and Harper.
She captioned the clip: “Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy there is! You always lead with love and our beautiful children are a reflection of that. We all love you so, so much.”
Victoria tagged all four of her children in the post, including Brooklyn. She later followed up with a carousel of throwback images featuring David and the children at various family events.
