Victoria Beckham has given fans a rare, intimate look inside husband David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations, sharing a series of glamorous family snaps that show the Beckham clan looking more united than ever, except for one very noticeable absence.
The former Spice Girl, 50, took to Instagram to post a carefully curated gallery of photos from the lavish event held at the exclusive Core restaurant in Notting Hill, London. Dressed in a floor-length designer gown, Victoria matched with daughter Harper Seven, 12, while sons Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 19, looked sharp in traditional black tie alongside their impeccably dressed father.
“Creating special memories with family and friends,” Victoria captioned the images, tagging only Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, and notably leaving out eldest son Brooklyn, 25, as rumours of a growing rift between him and his parents continue to swirl. In another post, she added: “We love you all @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xx.”

David himself reposted several of the family snaps, including one where he holds hands with Victoria and poses proudly with his three youngest children. In what many interpreted as a subtle nod to Brooklyn’s absence, he wrote: “I love you all, thank you for making my birthday so memorable.”
Brooklyn and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, were noticeably absent from the evening’s festivities, despite being invited well in advance. According to The Sun, the couple had informed the Beckham family weeks ago that they would not be attending, having returned to the U.S. ahead of the event.
“David is heartbroken but putting on a brave face,” a source revealed. “Brooklyn is a really sweet boy and everyone loves him dearly. They just hope things can be patched up soon.”
Despite the emotional undercurrent, the evening was nothing short of spectacular. Guests were treated to signature cocktails and Bavarian vegan lager, Noam Beer, while award-winning chef Clare Smyth crafted a bespoke menu for the A-list crowd, which included Tom Cruise, Guy Ritchie, Gordon Ramsay, and football icon Gary Neville.

Among the night’s most touching moments was a heartfelt speech by Romeo Beckham. Taking his brother’s place, he stood with cue cards in hand and told guests: “I know without many of you in here tonight he wouldn't be half of the man he is today. But to the man of the moment…” He went on to praise his father’s legendary football career, spanning Manchester United, Real Madrid, and the England national team.
Other moments captured in Victoria’s posts included a sweet kiss between her and David, Harper cuddling her grandparents, and Romeo proudly carrying a tray of cakes lit with candles. The celebrations were the second part of David’s birthday extravaganza, following a quieter celebration in the south of France on his actual birthday last Friday, also notably without Brooklyn.

While the absence of their eldest son cast a shadow over the otherwise joyous evening, the Beckham family presented a united front, clearly determined to focus on love, legacy, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
