Brooklyn Beckham recently paid tribute to his sister Harper on her 14th birthday – in a surprise move amid speculation he wouldn’t reach out to his sibling via Daily Mail.
Earlier on Thursday, the family matriarch Victoria and her son Romeo were the first members of the Beckham family to share tributes to daughter Harper as she celebrated her 14th birthday, while Brooklyn later followed suit.
In a statement to the alleged friction, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, who shared the same post, left his parents out of the post, despite the image being taken at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show in September.
The post marks Brooklyn’s first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26. This came despite his previous silence and avoidance of his father’s 50th birthday celebration earlier that month.
Harper’s birthday was at risk of further straining the relationship between David and Victoria and their eldest son, had Brooklyn not decided to reach out and set aside their differences. His post appeared just before David wished Harper a happy birthday.
Sources close to the family have expressed concerns to MailOnline that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, 30, may have also distanced themselves from Harper. This speculation arose after the couple failed to visit Harper when they came to London in May to film an advertisement for the French-Italian clothing brand Moncler, which was only a mile from the family home in Holland Park.
In her own tribute to her daughter, fashion designer Victoria, took to Instagram to share several photos of her youngest child taken over the years. This move further highlighted Brooklyn’s absence amidst rumors of a fallout related to his actress wife.
Alongside the her post, Victoria wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my world!! You are my everything and I’m so proud of the strong, confident, kind and talented young lady you are becoming.
‘You’re my best friend and I’m so lucky I get to be your mummy. We love you so so much!! Enjoy your special day!! ❤️ Kisses @davidbeckham xxx’.
The snaps included an adorable photo of Harper in a pink dress and tights and another of her perched on a motorbike with her father David.
Victoria also posted a photo of herself cradling Harper when she was a toddler and another of her on the beach where she wrote in the sand: ‘I love mummy and daddy’.
