Victoria Beckham, 52, was all smiles as she celebrated the launch of her latest fragrance, Portofino '97, at Caffe Paradiso in New York on July 18, 2026. Joined by her husband David and three of their children—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—the former Spice Girl turned fashion designer shared tender moments, including a hug with Romeo and a group photo. The fragrance is named after a memorable trip to Italy with David two years before their wedding.
Family Support but Brooklyn Absent
While Victoria and David exuded elegance, their children opted for casual attire in T-shirts with jeans or shorts. However, eldest son Brooklyn Beckham, 27, was notably absent, continuing a pattern of missing family milestones. He also skipped Harper's 15th birthday earlier this month and David's 50th birthday, and failed to acknowledge David's knighthood.
Brooklyn's Public Rift and Backlash
Brooklyn, married to billionaire Nicola Peltz, has been estranged from the family. Earlier this year, he posted a six-page statement accusing his parents of controlling his upbringing, claiming his mother behaved inappropriately at his wedding, and alleging poor treatment of his wife. He stated he had no desire to reconcile and pleaded for privacy.
Recently, Brooklyn faced backlash for a DoorDash advert mocking the feud. In the teaser, he says, "You're probably wondering why I'm watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home... It's a long story." Fans called the stunt "classless," and he reportedly earned £755,000 for the ad. A family insider told the Daily Mail: "To do an advert based on estrangement from family as if it’s a joke when his family is devastated and sister and grandparents inconsolable is shocking. Especially from someone who claims he wants peace and privacy."
Upcoming Events
Victoria is expected to miss Mel C's wedding to Chris Dingwall to support David at the World Cup final this weekend. After England's semi-final loss to Argentina, Cruz was seen consoling a visibly heartbroken David, with fans calling it "the sweetest thing I've ever seen."
