Brooklyn Beckham has spoken about his father David as rumours of a family feud continue to rage on.
Over the past week David Beckham has been ringing in his milestone 50th birthday with a string of events, including a party at his and wife Victoria Beckham’s £10,000,000 home in the Cotswolds and a star-studded dinner at the three-Michelin-star restaurant Core in Kensington.
The couple have been joined at these events by their children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
However, notably absent has been Brooklyn, 26, which comes as reports claim the eldest Beckham child is at odds with his family, as is his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.
Brooklyn appeared to brush off any rumours of a feud in a new interview with The Sunday Times, as he openly spoke about his relationship with his former footballer dad.
Discussing his foray into Formula E, Brooklyn spoke about how he and his dad bonded over racing.
‘It’s something that me and my dad bonded over,’ Brooklyn said at the Formula E Evo Sessions in Miami in March, revealing that his love for racing began when he was very young.
‘My dad’s had some pretty cool cars,’ he added, revealing that David’s number one is his ‘1954 Jaguar, which I very rarely drive, only when the weather’s perfect’.
Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend any of the events for David’s birthday – despite the couple also being in the UK last week.
Speaking to Metro, a source explained that Victoria is desperately hoping that Brooklyn will ‘come around’ as she has found the fallout ‘devastating’.
‘Victoria hates to think about her family being so divided, especially with it involving one of her children. Brooklyn’s absence at David’s 50th birthday party was noticeable and she desperately wished he would have been there,’ said the source.
‘She’s hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are. They’ve always been a close-knit family and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.’
Reaching out to his son, David made an olive branch gesture earlier in the week, telling his son that he was ‘missed’ from a boys’ trip fishing in Scotland as part of his birthday celebrations.
Posting on Instagram, David explained: ‘Six months ago I planned a trip with my boys at the start of last week to camp and fish for my 50th was so much fun.’
He then posted photos taken on the holiday, including images of himself with his two sons. A few hours later, he shared a selfie he’d taken with Romeo and Cruz, acknowledging Brooklyn’s absence.
‘Fun times in Scotland, he wrote.
‘You were missed,’ he added, tagging his eldest son in the post.
It has been suggested that Kim Turnball, Romeo’s new girlfriend, dated Brooklyn before she got into a relationship with Romeo, which has caused a rift between the brothers.
Although Cruz has rubbished claims that Brooklyn and Kim ever dated, it has still been reported that there are ongoing tensions within the family.
