JAKARTA - The Beckham family drama is back in the spotlight. Brooklyn Beckham was not seen in the New Year's photo upload shared by his father, David Beckham on Instagram. The absence of the eldest son immediately sparked speculation about the family relationship which is said to be strained.
In the upload, David shared important moments throughout 2025, ranging from his 50th birthday, being with Victoria Beckham, to photos with their children, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. However, there is not a single photo that features Brooklyn.
"I feel very lucky to have lived through 2025, which was full of unforgettable moments, from my 50th birthday to receiving the title of knighthood, and closing it with an MLS victory as a club owner," David wrote, quoted from People's website on Thursday, January 1, 2026.
He also expressed his gratitude to his family and close people.
"I am so grateful for my amazing wife, my great kids, friends, and the team that work with me every day. None of this could have happened without all of you," he continued.
Brooklyn's absence has been increasingly linked to a family conflict issue that has been circulating since his marriage to Nicola Peltz in 2022.
The situation was discussed more widely after Brooklyn and his parents were known to no longer follow each other on Instagram. Brooklyn's younger brother, Cruz Beckham, had responded to the news.
"My mom and dad will never stop looking for their child. Please get the facts straight. They woke up blocked, so did I," Cruz wrote.
Sources close to the Beckham family revealed that efforts to improve relations were not easy.
"Every time they finally feel a happy moment, everything falls apart. They have tried to make peace," said the source.
Until now, Brooklyn has not commented. However, his absence in David's New Year's post has made the Beckham family drama feel even hotter.
