DAVID Beckham has brushed aside his eldest son Brooklyn’s silence on his 51st birthday as he enjoyed a day surrounded by loved ones.

The former footballer shared heartfelt snaps from the celebrations, calling himself “very lucky & blessed” to be spoiled by his wife, children, family and friends.

Victoria Beckham led the birthday tributes, posting unseen photos and calling David “our world, our everything” in a touching message.

Brooklyn’s brothers, Romeo and Cruz, also joined in with birthday wishes, sharing nostalgic pictures and warm words.

However, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz once again stayed silent on social media, marking the second year they have not publicly acknowledged David’s birthday.

The ongoing family rift has been well documented, with Brooklyn previously stating he does “not want to reconcile” and accusing his parents of controlling the narrative.

Victoria recently spoke about the feud without naming Brooklyn, emphasising her commitment to protecting and loving their children throughout their long public lives.

Despite the tension, David’s birthday was clearly filled with love from much of his family, leaving the focus on his gratitude and joy on the day.
