Victoria Beckham takes centre stage at Cruz’s 21st as Brooklyn Beckham feud deepens

Victoria Beckham has once again appeared to take centre stage at a big family milestone amid the ongoing Beckham family feud.

This time, she grabbed the mic and joined forces with Jackie Apostel and her daughter Harper for a speech at her son Cruz’s lavish 21st birthday bash.

As tensions continue to simmer with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham in the background, the fashion mogul, 51, and husband David Beckham, 50, put on a united front in London on Sunday night, hosting a Beatles-themed birthday party for their youngest son at Mayfair restaurant The Maine.

Of course, missing from the celebrations were Brooklyn, 26 and wife Nicola Peltz, 31, who were reportedly not invited.

Despite the ongoing family rift, the Beckhams projected a picture of unity.

Victoria and David were joined by Cruz, Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14, along with Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, and Romeo’s partner, DJ Kim Turnbull, 24, for a series of polished photographs shared online.

One snap showed Victoria in her flowing navy dress — her own design — on stage with Apostel and Harper as the fashion designer confidently held a microphone and spoke to the guests.

It comes after Victoria was accused of ‘hijacking’ a special moment at Brooklyn and Nicolas wedding.

In a heated social media rant earlier this year, Brookyn unleashed on his family, exposing the tensions between the family members.

“I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed,” Brooklyn wrote in the first of a series of Instagram Stories posts.

Brooklyn confirmed long-running rumours that tensions peaked at Brooklyn’s Palm Beach wedding to Nicola, saying Victoria hijacked his first dance with Nicola. He had planned the dance for weeks in advance to be set to a romantic love song.

“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone,” he said.

“I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.”

Despite this, Victoria was quick to document the night on Instagram, captioning her posts, “Celebrating Cruz early!! We love you so much!!!”

David followed with his own tribute: “We love celebrating you Cruzie. A lot of love in the room for you last night.”

The party, dubbed The Grand Beatle Ball, featured a live performance from The Bootleg Beatles, who are widely regarded as the world’s top Beatles tribute act, as guests enjoyed a lavish dinner and themed cocktails. Drinks were named after Cruz’s single For Your Love and the 1996 Spice Girls hit Wannabe, The Sun shared.

Cruz, who officially turns 21 on Friday, took to the stage during the evening, performing a guitar solo to the 1969 Beatles track Something before later playing with his band, The Breakers.

Among the celebrity guests on the invite list was Victoria’s former Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton.

The public show of unity comes amid escalating tensions between Brooklyn and the rest of the family. Cruz has not spoken to his older brother for months. He previously claimed Brooklyn had blocked him, though Brooklyn disputed that version of events in a lengthy six-page Instagram statement last month.

The chef claimed Romeo and Cruz “were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer”.

As celebrations unfolded in London, Brooklyn was notably absent, instead sharing a belated Valentine’s Day message to Peltz.

Alongside a photograph of the couple kissing, he wrote: “Happy Valentine’s Day baby x

“I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to call you my Valentine’s every year x.

“I love you more than you know and I will forever protect and love you x.”

The contrast between the London celebrations and Brooklyn’s public declaration of loyalty to his wife is likely to fuel further speculation about the widening divide inside one of Britain’s most scrutinised families, and once again raises questions about who truly commands the spotlight when the Beckhams gather.
