Brooklyn received a wave of messages on his 27th birthday from Victoria, 51, and David, 50, and his two brothers, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21.
“27 today. Happy Birthday, Bust. We love you,” Daddy David wrote as he shared a childhood picture of Brooklyn, whose childhood nickname was Buster.
The throwback picture featured a tiny Brooklyn in a pool, flanked by his mother and father on each side.

Victoria shared the same photo and wrote: “Happy birthday, Brooklyn, we love you so much,’
She later uploaded another photo of herself laughing away with her son and wrote, “Happy 27th birthday, Brooklyn. I love you so much,” followed by a string of red hearts.
Meanwhile, younger brother Romeo posted his own childhood photo with Brooklyn, while Cruz wrote “I love you” alongside another throwback snap.

While the birthday tributes seemed heartfelt on the surface, insiders claimed they stirred up more tension behind the scenes amid the ongoing family rift.
Sources claimed the public social media posts were “performative” and were exactly the type of messages he did not appreciate.
“Brooklyn and Nicola are disheartened; they chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday,” an insider told ET.
“These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail,” they continued.

The insider also mentioned how Brooklyn reportedly asked his parents last year to communicate with him through their legal teams.
“Last summer, they issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers,” the source said.
Brooklyn’s feud with his family saw a flashpoint in January after he shared a lengthy statement about his parents controlling his life and trying to “ruin” his marriage to Nicola Peltz, whom he married in 2022.

The 27-year-old son claimed his family was always more concerned about “Brand Beckham” than they were about his personal well-being.
“My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else,” he claimed in his statement. “Brand Beckham comes first.”
“Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations,” he added.

Brooklyn claimed that his parents “controlled narratives in the press” about their family for his “entire life.”
“The performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into,” he added.
For his 27th birthday, Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge any of the posts shared by his parents or siblings.
He seemingly spent his special day with his wife Nicola, who shared a video of herself surprising him with a box of doughnuts that spelled out “happy birthday, Brooklyn.”
“Happy birthday, baby,” Nicola wrote in the caption, alongside a video of Brooklyn blowing out the candles on the doughnuts.

“I hope all your dreams and wishes come true! ” You light up every room you walk into, and anyone who knows you loves you,” she continued.
Caling him the “most special human,” she added, “I love being your wife. I love you, I love you, I love you.”

When Brooklyn shared his lengthy message in January, he claimed his family has been “endlessly” trying to “ruin [his] relationship [with Nicola] since before [his] wedding.”
And it hasn’t stopped,” he added.
“The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards,” he wrote.
“I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety,” he continued. “For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.”
“He shouldn’t have done this. Brooklyn has literally asked him not to do this,” one commented online

D&V have built an empire on Brand Beckham. Including, as B rightly says, never shielding them from the spotlight as kids. They do have a level of responsibility for that. But B is pulling a "Markle" of wanting alleged privacy, while still splashing his life everywhere for people to see. I'm sure D&V could have sent birthday messages via legal teams and respected B's wishes. Overall, it does seem like the Peltzes are pulling the strings now. B went from mother's house to wife's. He spent no time alone to learn about himself so is easy to influence and manipulate.

His family’s birthday posts finally made me understand his accusations that they’re “performative,” as they wanna be seen sending him birthday wishes. Had they genuinely wanted to say something to him on his birthday, they’d have texted him, emailed him, or better yet, picked up the d****d phone, but then no one woulda seen it! If they hadn’t communicate via social media, did it really happen? 😕🙄

Brooklyn Beckham has spent thirty years as the beneficiary of a family business he somehow never noticed existed. Photographed and sold to magazines before his first birthday. Trademarked intellectual property by adolescence. Given chances at Chelsea, Arsenal, and United that thousands of boys his age would have k****d for. Enrolled in a top art school and walked away. Handed campaigns at Burberry and BMW with no portfolio and no track record. Floated through photography, cooking, and hot sauce, always landing on his feet because his parents' names broke every fall. Never needed an education because he never needed to work. Then he married into the Peltz family, and seems genuinely stunned to realise his own family operates like a business. He’s an i******e and the only person on earth who didn't already know.

“Photographed and sold to magazines before his first birthday”: Pardon? How does a baby use a camera and negotiate to get the photos he took published? What the heck did I miss?
