The real reason why Nicola Brooklyn Beckham stopped to go to Davids 50th birthday parties, while friends Katie tell Hind that the relationship is damaged ‘without repair’

Tonight, with his glamorous wife Nicola on his arm, Brooklyn Beckham Will undoubtedly pose for photographers in the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The young couple is on the guest list for this year GalaThe highlight of the social scene of New York, and their appearance at such an event would have been a proud moment for Victoria and David Beckham.

This year, however, it will be bittersweet – marred by the failure of their eldest son to appear in the past week’s 50th birthday.

Yesterday, proof of the gap – which sources close to the Beckhams were told that the post is ‘irreparable’ – for everyone when the family shared their favorite photos of the weekly parties on Instagram.

Brooklyn is noticeably absent as his parents and three brothers and sisters, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 13, pose in their fine in the beautiful house of the family in the Cotswolds.

David and his sons are in Black Tuxedos and Victoria, 51, is Wearing a £ 900 navy silk dress from her own label in the same color and fabric as daughter Harper’s.

For a few that acts on their children, the caption is almost as heartbreaking as the fact that their eldest son is missing in the joyful scene. ‘Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all, “writes Victoria, her message followed by a heart emoji and tags for David, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

So it will undoubtedly hurt when the first glimpse of the couple is about their son in a while that were taken on the red carpet on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Their pain is even worse because they know that Brooklyn, 26, seems to have spent in London last week and yet did not come to one of the parties.

“They always knew that he would attend Gala, but the fact that he was in London and still didn’t come, really wounded,” a good friend of the family tells me. “They didn’t come to appear at events and yet they will go to a place where they will hardly know anyone.”

To make even worse, Brooklyn and Nicola had shared photos of themselves Hanging around in their hotel Suite in London on Instagram at the weekend, as well as in a restaurant where a friend placed a snap of three champagne glasses.

But instead of pointing out the debting son, the Beckhams are understood worried about the influence that Nicola, the 30-year-old daughter of the American billionaire Nelson Peltz, has about him.

“Victoria and David would do everything to get their son back, but they are now done with Nicola,” the family friend adds.

‘Nicola actually finds a way to start a fight, then she forces him not to talk to his family and then he does not show for family events. She has done this since the wedding before every family event. Regarding David’s birthday, it feels like it is all part of the same pattern. Brooklyn will think he will visit his family so that he will make plans. On this occasion he told his parents a few weeks ago that he would be there for David’s birthday.

‘But what happens is that Nicola starts something and it will blow up and then it will be impossible for him to be. It all stinks of a control thing. The family is absolutely sure that this is what happened this time, that a drama has been made and Brooklyn does not feel that he can pop up to see his family – but it happened three times a week.

‘There were different types of events, so he could certainly have found one that would have linked them to them, so it makes you think there was drama after drama while they were here. He is a friendly boy who clearly doesn’t feel that he can rise against Nicola. ‘

Comparisons may be inevitable behind closed doors Drawn to the tense relationships between Prince Harry and his family have arrived on stage since Meghan. “Brooklyn doesn’t talk to his family or his old friends,” mused my source. ‘The similarities are virtually creepy.

“Nicola and Meghan are both American and also four years older than their spouses.”

Those who have been present at events with Brooklyn have seen examples of Nicola in a ‘Stroppy’ way – something Brooklyn will always apologize for.

Friends have also noticed that he will stare lovingly at Nicola on photos of the couple, but she will look away. The couple is also rarely seen alone.

Brooklyn has also distinguished himself from his former friendship group. He was once very close to Gordon Ramsay’s son Jack, but they no longer see each other, and the same applies to Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s son Rocco.

“Brooklyn was fun to be out with his friends,” says a one-time close employee. “He had a great social life. He went to Fine Arts College in North Londs and he had a large crowd of friends, but no more.

‘There is now a lot of care for Brooklyn, he has changed. Nicola comes first and it is about what she wants. David and Victoria are mainly concerned about the nature of the relationship. The only thing they want is that Brooklyn is happy, maybe he is, but this is very worrying for the whole family.

“David and Victoria love their children, but with Brooklyn they have always been aware that the spotlight he experienced as a young boy may have had an effect and has done everything to make it right,” ” said the former employee.

The Beckhams are always showing up to support Nicola in her work, for example the premiere for her film Lola last year. They were also recently at the launch of Brooklyn’s Cloud23 Hot Sauce in Whole Foods in Kensington in London.

“It’s all back in their faces,” adds the family friend. “They tried, but they are done with her. It will hurt a lot to see Brooklyn and Nicola on photos at Gala and yet he could not make the family celebrations. ‘

The apparent alienation brought a huge damper to David’s milestone birthday celebrations. Unfortunately, however, for the brothers and sisters of David, Victoria and Brooklyn, it is something they have become used to.

Brooklyn and Nicola missed a total of 12 family events in the past year, the first is the 49th birthday dinner of David in May last year, Held in the Canton Blue Restaurant in the Five-Star London Hotel, The PeninsulaFriends of the Family were on their care for Nicola’s ambition when the couple first started dating in 2019.

“Nicola’s family is much, much richer than the Beckhams,” the source notes. “But the Beckham is so much more famous. There is no showbiz family who is somewhere near their level of fame when it comes to social media. ‘

Insiders are of the opinion that the surname of Brooklyn and Instagram follows 16.4 million, compared to its three million, form a large part of the profession. Nicola likes that aspect of all this. That certainly keeps her in the spotlight. Some may be inclined to believe that she uses her connections – and husband – for what she can get from them. ‘

Friends of the Beckhams too Tell me that Nicola wanted to be the next Victoria Beckham at the start of her relationship with Brooklyn. But famous the couple fell out for the first time in the run -up to Nicola’s lush wedding of £ 3 million in April 2022 at Palm Beach, Florida.

Problems seemed to start when Nicola bore a Valentino trust dress, instead of having her dress made by Victoria, whose she hoped it would make her.

The relationships remained tense for more than a year, although the two women seemed to reach a truce and the normal family relationships were resumed before time.

However, the events of the past week have clearly reopened old wounds, as a result of which Victoria and David have destroyed and confronted the prospect of a long -term alienation of their son.

In perhaps a final attempt to reach his firstborn, David posted a moving photo of himself last week with his then seven -year -old on Instagram. The simple, sincere caption was: “@Brooklyn-Beckham I love you.”
