The rumoured Beckham family feud seems to be the furthest thing from David Beckham’s mind as he paid tribute to wife Victoria Beckham on their 26th wedding anniversary.
The England football ace, 50, and former Spice Girl, 51, tied the knot in 1999 in a lavish ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle outside Dublin surrounded by their nearest and dearest.
The event was memorable not only for the couple’s striking purple evening looks, but as a marker of how their relationship has stood the test of time, scandal, and fame more than two decades later.
In an emotional Instagram post, David posted a series of throwback photos from their nuptials as well as with their children – Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13 – following speculation of a rift with their eldest son and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.
’26 years today you said YES to me,’ he began in the caption, addressing his wife. ‘Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together. I love you Lady Beckham.’
He tagged the couple’s four children in the post, despite speculation of a falling out between Brooklyn and other members of the family.
Romeo reshared David’s post on his Instagram Story alongside a series of white hearts.
At the time of writing, Cruz and Brooklyn have not posted anything about their parents’ anniversary.
The Beckhams’ daughter, Harper, doesn’t have social media, so was mentioned by David in his caption with a hashtag.
Victoria also shared a tribute to her husband, posing a picture on her grid of the two sharing a kiss.
‘Another year, another chapter in our love story. ♥️ I’m so proud of the beautiful family and life we’ve built together,’ she wrote.
‘You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham xx Here’s to 26 years!! xx.’
She also took to her Instagram Stories to share her love for her children, tagging them all in a throwback photo and writing: ‘My everything. I love you all so much.’
Reports of a rift first resurfaced when Brooklyn and his wife Nicola failed to show up at David’s 50th birthday bash, despite all of his other children being in attendance.
At the time, a source told Metro that Brooklyn was ‘disappointed in himself’ for doing so.
Since then, the chef shared a telling Instagram post that he would ‘always choose’ Nicola, whom he wed in 2022.
When Nicola’s father Nelson Peltz celebrated his birthday in June, Brooklyn shared an Instagram post dedicated to his father-in-law, while he was also photographed at the Peltz family home in New York.
As speculation continues to mount, Nicola has hit out at claims that she is ‘controlling’ her husband.
One comment posted by an Instagram user on the social media platform read: ‘The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd. The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything.’
In a rather telling move, Nicola liked the comment.
Victoria is said to be ‘heartbroken’ over the rumoured feud between Brooklyn and his dad, with sources claiming she is desperate for them to reconcile.
Romeo and Cruz have made what some have interpreted as ‘digs’ at Brooklyn via TikTok comments and Instagram Stories.
One of these included Cruz writing on his Story: ‘It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth.’
