Victoria and Romeo Beckham Honor ‘Special and Amazing’ Harper on 14th Birthday with Sweet Photos as Family Awaits Brooklyn’s Contact Amid Feud
Victoria Beckham Celebrates Harper’s 14th Birthday Amid Family Tensions
Victoria Beckham and her son Romeo led heartfelt tributes to Harper Beckham as the youngest family member turned 14 on Thursday. The fashion designer, 51, shared a nostalgic Instagram carousel featuring snapshots of Harper through the years, including a sweet toddler photo, a beach moment where Harper wrote “I love mummy and daddy” in the sand, and a clip of her singing to Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe.
“Happy birthday to my world!!” Victoria wrote. “You’re my best friend, and I’m so lucky I get to be your mummy. We love you so much!” David Beckham also featured prominently in the photos, including a playful shot of Harper perched on his motorbike.
Romeo, 22, shared a sibling snapshot from a past event, captioning it, “Happy 14th to the most amazing human… love you always.” Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 29, joined in, posting yacht and backstage photos with Harper from Paris Fashion Week.
Family Feud Casts Shadow
Despite the celebrations, tensions between the Beckhams and their eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, loomed. Sources revealed Brooklyn and Nicola did not visit Harper during a May trip to London, sparking fears they might ignore her birthday. The couple’s absence from David’s 50th birthday festivities and Victoria’s April birthday had already strained relations.
Nicola added fuel to the fire by wearing replica shorts from David’s 1996 England debut during a St. Tropez yacht vacation, while Brooklyn posted a cooking video soundtracked by lyrics about “feeling empowered”—seen as a subtle dig. Meanwhile, Victoria and David marked their 26th wedding anniversary with a family throwback post tagging Brooklyn, who has yet to publicly reconcile.
Harper Caught in the Crossfire?
Insiders worry Harper, who once idolized Brooklyn, is collateral damage. “Brooklyn was her hero. It’s devastating if he doesn’t reach out,” a source said. The rift reportedly stems from Nicola’s influence, with the Beckhams believing she controls Brooklyn. Though Nicola initially bonded with Harper as a “big sister,” their relationship has cooled.
Brooklyn’s recent attendance at Nicola’s father’s birthday—contrasting with his absence from David’s—deepened the divide. While Nicola dismissed “controlling” claims by liking a fan’s supportive comment, the couple’s silence during key family moments has left Harper’s birthday celebrations bittersweet.
As the Beckhams cherish Harper’s milestone, the unresolved feud underscores the fragility of family ties in the spotlight.
