David and Victoria Beckham celebrate a major milestone, but one seat was left empty at their table

Football legend David Beckham marked his 50th birthday in style over the weekend, hosting a swanky dinner at Core by Clare Smyth in Notting Hill.

He was joined by his wife Victoria, 51, and a host of celebrity friends, including Eva Longoria, 50. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, 58, and his wife Tana Ramsay, 50, were also on the guest list for Beckham’s milestone celebration.

Beckham was surrounded by his nearest and dearest, with his children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper, making it a true family affair.

The Beckham men suited up in classic ties and tailored jackets, while Victoria and Harper looked elegant in floor-length navy dresses. Sharing photos from the night, Victoria and David captioned their posts: “Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all.”

Although one seat appeared noticeably empty.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were absent from the evening.

The couple, who now live in the US, didn’t feature in any photos from the night and made no mention of the celebration on social media.

Instead, Peltz posted a throwback tribute to her late grandmothers on Instagram, calling them her “forever soulmates”.

Writing, “I can’t fathom the thought of not being able to hug you or hear your laugh right now — I just miss you both so much.”

Their absence did not go unnoticed, especially as it marks the latest in a series of missed family moments.

Brooklyn was also a no-show at Beckham’s earlier birthday bash in Miami and appeared to skip the family’s Easter celebrations, HELLO reported.

Rumours of tension began swirling earlier this year when he failed to post public tributes for Victoria’s 51st birthday or Mother’s Day—an uncharacteristic move for the usually sentimental eldest son.

Now, reports suggest there may be tension between Brooklyn and younger brother Romeo, allegedly sparked by Brooklyn and Nicola’s disapproval of Romeo’s girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull.

Speculation also surfaced that Brooklyn and Kim may have dated in the past, but younger brother Cruz quickly shut that down, replying to a comment on Instagram: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

No one in the Beckham camp has officially commented, but with social media silence and ongoing absences, fans are beginning to connect the dots.

Behind the family photos and designer fits, it seems not everything in Beckham’s world is picture-perfect.
