Paris Fashion Week brought the Beckham brothers to the same city, but not exactly back together. The three brothers and their partners were all photographed in the city of love, but it looks like only Romeo and Cruz Beckham attended the same events.

On October 2nd, Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, along with Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, attended the  EE72 First Anniversary Celebration at L'Avenue.

PEOPLE reported on Monday that Brooklyn and Nicola went to the same venue, L'Avenue, on October 3 to celebrate her brother Bradley’s birthday.

Their weekend comes amid the ongoing rift between the Beckham family and Brooklyn and Nicola. Despite having all three Beckham brothers under the same Parisian sky, there was one place they did not all come together - their mother Victoria Beckham’s fashion show.

David Beckham, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Beckham were front and center at Victoria’s Spring/Summer 2027 presentation at the Conciergerie on Oct. 2, with Romeo and Cruz’s girlfriends also joining the family for the occasion. Brooklyn and Nicola, meanwhile, were photographed smooching around the city. The actress also shared a photo of their spaghetti date night during the show, per TMZ.

They did, however, attend other Fashion Week events, including Balenciaga and Messika. A source later told the Mirror that, "It feels bordering on cruel to be swanning around the city knowing how important this day is for Victoria.”

Another friend reportedly told the outlet they "must know that their presence there will get everyone talking." "It feels like a calculated move, particularly as it’s not really clear what the pair’s fashion credentials are to be attending these shows in the first place," they continued. 

Victoria's show joins a long list of events they have missed. They were also absent from her Paris Fashion Week shows in October 2025 and March 2026, David's 50th birthday celebration, and his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in June 2026.

Brooklyn was also absent from Harper Beckham’s 15th birthday celebration and reportedly did not attend Cruz Beckham’s 21st birthday celebration earlier this year.

For anyone not following the drama, everything came to a head in January, when Brooklyn publicly said he did not want to reconcile with his family and accused his parents of trying to control the family's narrative and interfere in his relationship with Nicola. 

He also made a number of allegations about his 2022 wedding, including claims involving Victoria and Nicola's wedding dress and his parents' alleged attempts to have him sign over rights to his name. 

Victoria has largely avoided addressing the specifics publicly. In an April interview, she said only that she and David “love our children so much” and have always tried to protect and love them.
