Brooklyn Beckham has publicly praised his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, just days after snubbing his own father, David Beckham, on Father's Day. The 27-year-old took to Instagram to wish the billionaire a happy 84th birthday, writing: 'Happy Birthday Nelson x I love you so much. I'm so happy I could celebrate you today. Thank you for being the best father-in-law.'
The post comes after David Beckham, 51, shared a sweet Father's Day photo of Brooklyn, but the former England star's eldest son failed to acknowledge the gesture. The snub is the latest in a series of public digs that have highlighted the ongoing rift between Brooklyn and his family.
Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn's wife, also posted a tribute to her father, calling him 'the best father I could ever dream of' and thanking him for being an 'incredible role model.' The couple's lavish celebration of Nelson Peltz's birthday contrasts sharply with their absence from David Beckham's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony earlier this month.
Brooklyn's sister, Harper, 14, attempted to visit him during the family's trip to Los Angeles but was turned away, with Brooklyn reportedly in New York City at the time. A spokesperson for Brooklyn dismissed the visit as 'choreographed for the cameras,' further fueling tensions.
The Beckham family feud has been exacerbated by Brooklyn's recent DoorDash campaign, which many interpreted as another dig at his estranged family. In the ad, Brooklyn says, 'You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home… It's a long story,' with the tagline 'It's complicated.'
