Could this be the moment Victoria and David Beckham finally make peace with their son Brooklyn? After a year of whispers, unfollows, and family no-shows, the Beckhams may be taking the first step toward patching things up, and it all started with a single tap on Instagram.
Both Victoria (51) and David Beckham (50) recently liked a post shared by their eldest son, Brooklyn (26), on Instagram. To the casual observer, it might look like nothing more than a friendly gesture. But to long-time Beckham followers, it feels like a seismic shift or a digital olive branch after months of silence.

The cracks reportedly began showing earlier this year when Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, skipped David’s 50th birthday celebrations. For a family that’s known for grand gatherings and public declarations of love, their absence was glaring, and quickly interpreted as proof of a deeper rift.
The distance only grew when the couple missed several key family moments, including Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and the London premiere of her new miniseries. While Victoria smiled through it all, insiders hinted that she was deeply hurt, especially since those were milestone moments she’d hoped her eldest son would share.
But now, the tide might be turning.

Brooklyn recently shared a video of himself making pancakes, part of his ongoing journey as a budding home chef. The post was charming, simple, and very “Brooklyn.” What made it headline-worthy wasn’t the recipe, but the reactions. Both Victoria and David quietly dropped a like.
To fans, this wasn’t just about breakfast. It was a hint that the Beckhams are ready to rebuild bridges, even if it starts with something as subtle as a double-tap.
Victoria’s Heartfelt Hint
Only hours before that social media gesture, Victoria gave an interview where she spoke candidly about what family means to her. “We’re a very close family,” she said, adding, “Communication is key. We always remind our kids that home is a safe space where they can talk about anything. But they have to follow their own path.”

During her recent London event, she tearfully thanked all her children by name, including Brooklyn, reminding the world (and perhaps him) that a mother’s affection doesn’t vanish, even when relationships strain.
Brooklyn’s Side of the Story
Brooklyn, meanwhile, has kept things measured. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he shared that he tries to stay out of the noise surrounding his personal life. “People will always say silly things,” he said. “My wife is my priority. She supports me completely, and we’re just doing our thing — focusing on work and being happy.”
His marriage to Nicola Peltz in April 2022 and the low family attendance were said to be a turning point. The couple even renewed their vows this past summer without the Beckham family members present.
