Sir David Beckham shares touching Father’s Day post as fallout rumours with son Brooklyn rage on
Sir David Beckham has shared a message of support to his children on Father’s Day, including Brooklyn Beckham, as rift rumours rage on.
The former England footballer, 50, has had a jubilant week after he was awarded a knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours – and now he’s celebrating his love for his family again as the UK marks Father’s Day.
Sir David and Victoria Beckham share four children – Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and daughter Harper, 13.
In a new post on Instagram, Sir David wrote: ‘My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…
‘Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father. There is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine,’ he wrote.
This was posted alongside 11 photos of his children, with a snap of him with each child, a few group photos from their childhood, a picture with his own father and one of Posh Spice pregnant.
In the comments, Cruz replied: ‘You mean the world to us and inspire us every single day dad I love you.’ Romeo added: ‘Love you always.’
Brooklyn has not said anything, as was the case with the news of Sir David’s knighthood.
Over on Victoria’s Instagram, she wrote: ‘Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy there is! You always lead with love and our four beautiful children are a reflection of that. We all love you so so much!!’.
Once more including a range of family photos from across the years from glamorous events to childhood memories – and both posts tagging their eldest son.
It comes days after The Spice Girls star posted congratulating Sir David on his knighthood, to which he replied in the comments: ‘I love you all,’ once again tagging Brooklyn.
Speculation of a feud between the parents and their son and his wife Nicola has been brewing since the young couple were notably absent from Sir David’s big 50th birthday bash.
None of them has publicly addressed the presumed frostiness between the four of them but in a recent post, Brooklyn doubled down on his commitment to his wife.
‘My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby,’ he wrote in a post on social media.
A source close to Victoria told Metro she was ‘heartbroken’.
‘Victoria is upset that things have escalated to this point. Brooklyn has made his position clear in his recent post and that has left both herself and David heartbroken,’ the insider explained.
Meanwhile, a source close to Brooklyn added: ‘It’s sad that a simple statement of love and appreciation for his wife is being manipulated into something that it isn’t.’
Keen-eyed fans have also noted that a tattoo dedicated to his mum seemed to have been covered up with a sketch of Nicola’s bouquet from their wedding day.
