The Beckham family gathered for an Easter celebration in Miami on Sunday, marking a festive occasion that was overshadowed by the conspicuous absence of eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz. Victoria and David Beckham, along with their three youngest children and their partners, flew to America to commemorate the opening of Inter Miami's new $750 million Freedom Park Stadium, a milestone event for David's football club.
Personalised Hampers and Family Photos
Victoria Beckham, the 51-year-old fashion designer, took to Instagram to share glimpses of the Easter festivities, showcasing personalised hampers for the family. However, the hampers notably excluded the names of Brooklyn, 27, and Nicola, highlighting the ongoing rift within the family. In January, Brooklyn released a six-page statement expressing his desire not to reconcile with his parents, citing years of tension and public disputes.
Victoria posted photos of herself in a stripy dressing gown and bunny ears, displaying bespoke gifts for David, 50, sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, daughter Harper, 14, as well as Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, and Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 24. She captioned one post with "Happy Easter!!!" and shared a sweet snap of David posing with a Country magazine and Creme Eggs.
Stadium Opening and Family Support
The Easter celebration followed the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Inter Miami's new stadium on Saturday, where Victoria paid a gushing tribute to her husband on Instagram. She expressed pride in David's achievement, writing, "What an incredible night last night!!! We couldn’t be prouder @davidbeckham watching you turn your dream into reality inspires us all every day." The family posed together at the stadium, presenting a united front despite Brooklyn's absence.
Cruz Beckham reshared a picture of himself and Harper at the family's £60 million mansion, while Romeo and Cruz showed support for their father online. Cruz penned an emotional message, saying, "Dad I really couldn’t be more proud of you, you have inspired me every day to be a better human." David humorously replied, questioning why Cruz was sitting in Lionel Messi's pitch-side seat.
Brooklyn's Ongoing Estrangement
Brooklyn and Nicola, who are based in America, snubbed the Easter gathering, missing another opportunity to reconnect with the family. Earlier in the week, Brooklyn was spotted in West Hollywood appearing tense during a phone call, pacing and animatedly moving his arms. Last month, he praised his mother-in-law on Mother's Day without mentioning Victoria, a move perceived as calculated amid the feud.
In his January statement, Brooklyn accused his parents of controlling narratives in the press, hijacking his wedding dance, and pressuring him to sign away rights to his name. He emphasised that he no longer wishes to reconcile, stating, "I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. For the first time, since stepping away, that anxiety has disappeared."
Other Celebrities' Easter Celebrations
Meanwhile, other celebrities shared their Easter festivities on social media. Kelly Osbourne, 41, dressed as a bunny for her son Sidney, celebrating her first Easter since her split from fiancé Sid Wilson. Charlotte Dawson, 33, and her children donned matching Easter chick outfits, while Denise Van Outen, 51, showcased a leggy look with bunny ears and fishnets.
Gemma Collins, 45, and Jess Wright, 40, enjoyed a surprise TOWIE reunion in the Cotswolds, where their families dined together with an Easter bunny entertaining the children. Katie Price, 47, shared a sweet snap of her son Harvey wearing an Easter bonnet, and Myleene Klass, 47, donned bunny ears while presenting her Classic FM show.
The Beckhams' Easter reunion, while filled with personalised gifts and family photos, underscored the deep divisions within the family, with Brooklyn's absence serving as a stark reminder of the unresolved tensions that continue to play out in public.
