Victoria Beckham has risked Brooklyn’s fury by mentioning him in her anniversary post for David – after their ‘fuming’ son said he ‘wished they’d stop posting about him’
David also referenced the aspiring chef in his post for Victoria, as alongside a series of throwback snaps, he referenced his pride over his family
Brooklyn was reportedly fuming after David and Victoria’s Father’s Day posts and ‘wishes they would leave him alone’
The former Spice Girl marked 27 years of marriage by sharing a sweet Instagram tribute to David, calling him her everything and looking back on their years together, their matching outfits and their life as parents.
Yet it was her reference to the couple’s “four amazing children” that quickly caught attention. For many fans, the line appeared to be a gentle public nod to Brooklyn, the eldest Beckham child, following months of reports about tension between him and his famous parents.
David also appeared to keep the family message front and centre in his own anniversary tribute, writing that their proudest achievement would always be their family. Together, he and Victoria are parents to Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
David shared a series of throwbacks with his wife and penned: ’29 years together , 27 years married & you have given me everything I could ever wish for..’
He concluded: ‘Our proudest achievement will always be our family I love you & Happy Anniversary @victoriabeckham’
Victoria penned: ‘After 27 years of marriage, four amazing children and countless matching outfits, you’re still my *everything*. Happy anniversary!! I love you so much ♥️’
She shared a series of sweet snaps of the couple over the years

The warm words came after previous reports claimed Brooklyn had been upset by his parents continuing to post about him online. According to those claims, he wanted the family to stop bringing the matter back into public conversation.
The reported strain has become one of the most talked-about celebrity family stories of the past year. Brooklyn, who is married to Nicola Peltz Beckham, has been described in reports as increasingly distant from his parents and siblings.
Earlier Father’s Day posts from David and Victoria were also interpreted by some as olive branches. David shared throwback family pictures and described being a father as his most important role, while Victoria also included Brooklyn in her message to her husband.
However, reports suggested that Brooklyn was not pleased by the public references. Sources claimed he felt the posts revived the feud and made it harder for him to keep his distance.
The situation reportedly escalated after Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram and later asked for communication to be handled through legal representatives. In January, he was said to have released a lengthy statement cutting ties with the family and distancing himself from what has often been called “Brand Beckham”.
There have also been claims that Brooklyn felt controlled during his earlier life and that tensions with his wife Nicola played a role in the wider family fallout. These claims remain part of the public narrative surrounding the rift, though the family has largely avoided addressing the details directly in public.
The anniversary posts arrive shortly after Brooklyn faced criticism over a sponsored food delivery campaign. Some viewers believed the advert made light of his estrangement from the Beckhams, especially after he mentioned watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup from home and teased that it was “a long story”.
Friends of the Beckham family were reportedly hurt by the campaign, with insiders suggesting David and Victoria were devastated by anything that appeared to turn private family pain into publicity.
For fans, the anniversary exchange now reads in two very different ways. Some see Victoria and David’s posts as loving reminders that Brooklyn remains part of the family, no matter what has happened. Others believe the references risk making the divide more uncomfortable by keeping the story in the public eye.
After 27 years of marriage, the Beckhams remain one of Britain’s most recognisable celebrity couples. But their milestone celebration has once again shown how even the warmest family message can spark fresh drama when a very public rift remains unresolved.
