Beckhams Make First Family Appearance in Paris After Brooklyn Row
The Beckham family has made its first joint public appearance since a deeply personal rift with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham became public, stepping into the spotlight at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris. David and Victoria Beckham were joined by three of their four children—Romeo, Cruz and Harper—marking a carefully watched moment amid ongoing family tensions.
Brooklyn Beckham Confirms Family Rift on Instagram
The Paris appearance follows a bombshell Instagram statement from Brooklyn Peltz Beckham last week, in which he publicly declared that he had no intention of reconciling with his family. In the post, Brooklyn accused his parents of “attacking” both him and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, through media briefings, alleging long-standing interference in his relationship.
Brooklyn also made specific claims, including accusing his mother, Victoria Beckham, of hijacking his first wedding dance—an allegation that has since fueled widespread media speculation and online debate. Neither David nor Victoria Beckham has directly responded to the accusations.
Victoria Beckham Honoured by French Ministry of Culture
The Paris outing coincided with a major professional milestone for Victoria Beckham, who was named a Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. The prestigious honour recognises significant contributions to arts and culture and has previously been awarded to global stars such as Zoë Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Jude Law and Denis Villeneuve.
In an emotional Instagram post, Victoria Beckham expressed gratitude for the recognition, praising France’s reverence for fashion as art and thanking her family, business partners, and husband David Beckham, whom she described as her “original investor.”
Public Unity, Private Tension
While the Paris appearance suggested unity, Brooklyn Beckham was notably absent. The moment marked the first time the Beckhams have been seen together as a family since the public fallout, though individual members have continued to maintain busy public schedules.
Victoria Beckham recently attended Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton’s 50th birthday celebrations, while David Beckham appeared at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he spoke broadly about parenting in the age of social media. Without referencing Brooklyn directly, he remarked that children are “allowed to make mistakes.”

Beckhams Continue Separate Paths
Meanwhile, David and Victoria Beckham’s children, Romeo Beckham, attended designer Willy Chavarria’s show in Paris, and Cruz Beckham announced a mini music tour across the UK and Europe with his band. These parallel appearances underscore how the Beckham family continues to navigate personal strain alongside highly visible professional lives.
As public interest in the Beckham family drama intensifies, the Paris appearance stands as a striking contrast—glamour, recognition, and unity on the surface, set against unresolved tensions behind the scenes.
