It seems like Brooklyn Beckham has gotten pretty cozy with his in-laws—maybe even more than with his own family these days.
The 26-year-old took to Instagram on June 24 to wish his father-in-law Nelson Peltz a happy birthday. He posted a sweet photo of himself with Nelson and wife Nicola Peltz, writing, “Happy Birthday, Nelson. We love you.” Short and sweet, but it spoke volumes.
Nicola followed up with a more emotional message, posting a throwback of her as a little girl in her dad’s arms. “Happy birthday to my king!!” she wrote. “You’re the most loving and supportive dad I could ever dream of!”
The timing of all this is interesting—just a month after Brooklyn skipped his own dad David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash. And according to insiders, it wasn’t just a scheduling conflict. There’s been tension brewing between Brooklyn and his family for a while, particularly with his brother Romeo and Romeo’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull.
David and Victoria reportedly tried to patch things up, but Brooklyn doesn’t seem ready to reconcile. Whether that changes now that Romeo and Kim have split is anyone’s guess.
For now, though, Brooklyn seems perfectly happy celebrating with Nicola and the Peltz family instead.
