Brooklyn Beckham watched England's victorious World Cup clash remotely from New York with his wife Nicola Peltz on Saturday night, while his immediate family reunited in Miami for the game. The aspiring chef, 27, has been reportedly estranged from his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, and has not spoken to his siblings Cruz, Romeo, and Harper.
England secured a 2-1 victory over Norway after extra time. David and Victoria Beckham were joined in the stands by their three other children to cheer on the team. The family resides in Miami, where David Beckham serves as co-owner and president of Inter Miami CF. Following the match, David shared a family photo, writing, "What a moment in miami, I'm so proud of the team tonight reaching the Semi final of the World Cup and to celebrate with my family was so special... Thank you @england for giving our country these moments ❤️." Victoria echoed the sentiment, posting similar images and stating, "Special moment tonight in Miami with my family and for our country xxxx."
Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, was also in attendance and shared family snapshots on her Instagram. Victoria Beckham has recently expressed her fondness for Miami, calling it her "happy place" after launching her first US pop-up store in the city.
The family's split time between Miami and the UK is due to David Beckham's role with Inter Miami CF. Victoria's new store at Bal Harbour Shops in Miami is her first location outside London to house both her fashion and beauty businesses.
Brooklyn's absence from the family gathering marks another instance amid an ongoing family rift. This follows reports that Victoria ignored Brooklyn's request to not be mentioned on social media when she marked her wedding anniversary with David. Brooklyn has reportedly been absent from Beckham gatherings since Christmas 2024. Despite Brooklyn's alleged request for his family to stop posting about him, Victoria included a nod to him in her anniversary post, praising her "four amazing children," and David referenced his pride in his family in his own post.
Sources suggest Brooklyn was "fuming" about the continued social media mentions, feeling his parents are not respecting his wish for privacy. The rift reportedly intensified when Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram shortly before Christmas last year, and his legal team allegedly requested all communication be channeled through representatives. In January, Brooklyn reportedly released a statement announcing he had cut ties with his family, stating he was no longer part of 'Brand Beckham' and characterizing his parents and siblings as "performative."
