Brooklyn Beckham’s excuse for missing dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations revealed amid devastating family feud

BROOKLYN Beckham missed David's milestone 50th birthday celebrations this week, fuelling speculation of a growing rift within the family.
The Sun exclusively revealed David's "heartbreak" that his eldest son did not join the London celebrations over the weekend.
Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were notably absent from Victoria’s Instagram images - including a family shot of Posh, 51, and Becks with their three other children - Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
It is understood the pair instead flew to New York ahead of their Met Gala appearance tonight, an event they previously attended in 2022.
Influencer Brooklyn and Nicola, who married that year and live in Los Angeles, spent the last week in London but were no-shows at an intimate family dinner in the Cotswolds last Wednesday - where Posh and Harper wore matching navy blue dresses designed by Victoria.
They also missed a family trip to France on Friday and Saturday night’s soiree in London.
As the celebrations were in full swing at the weekend, Nicola shared an emotional post on Instagram describing her special bond with her late grandmothers.
She wrote: “They were my best friends, there wasn’t a day I wasn’t with them.”
The post prompted fans to urge an end to the rift.
One wrote: “I can imagine your husband’s father is feeling the immense loss of his son on his birthday week and it’s shameful.”
Another said: “Be the adult and get your husband back with his birth family.”
Insiders said David and Victoria were sad Brooklyn did not attend any of the parties, send a card or call.
David was joined by star pals including Tom Cruise, who brought new love interest Ana de Armas, Eva Longoria, Gordon Ramsay, Guy Ritchie and Gary Neville at three Michelin-star Core in Kensington, West London, on Saturday.
After complaints, two council officers arrived at the restaurant at 3.35am yesterday.
An onlooker said: “David’s party really went off and the longer time went on, the louder the music seemed to get.
“Some neighbours weren’t very happy when it was still so loud at 2am and leaned out windows to see where the racket was from.”
Kensington and Chelsea Council said advice was given to minimise disruption.
An onlooker added: “Whatever the council said worked because the music stopped immediately.”
Chef Clare Smyth designed a special menu and vegan Bavarian lager Noam Beer was on offer.
After dinner Cruz serenaded his parents with a performance of Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton.
An insider said: “Everyone had an amazing time.
“Naturally David and Victoria were upset Brooklyn wasn’t there with them but made sure it was an occasion to remember.”
Brooklyn previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to Nicola.
