David Beckham’s end-of-year Instagram activity has spotlighted the continuing tension with eldest son Brooklyn after the 25-year-old was noticeably absent from the family’s 2025 recap.
The Omission
On December 31, the former soccer star posted a nostalgic carousel featuring career highlights and family moments, but Brooklyn did not appear in any of the frames. Followers quickly noticed the gap, prompting speculation the rift that surfaced in 2024 still simmers.
Two days later, Beckham quietly uploaded older photos of Brooklyn to his Stories-an apparent attempt to soften the earlier snub without editing the original post.
Social Media Signals
Instagram activity has become a barometer for the family dynamic:
- David, Victoria and Brooklyn are no longer mutually following each other
- Brooklyn was also missing from David’s New Year’s post
- Neither parent has publicly commented on the feud origin
Public vs. Private
While Beckham built a reputation on carefully curated family unity, the digital cold shoulder offers rare evidence of discord. The selective sharing underscores how celebrities increasingly use social media to signal private rifts without formal statements.
Key Takeaways
- Brooklyn Beckham was edited out of David’s 2025 year-in-review post
- David later shared separate Stories with Brooklyn photos
- All three Beckhams have unfollowed each other on Instagram
- No official explanation for the ongoing estrangement has been given
As fans dissect every post, Beckham’s mixed messages reveal how even the most polished celebrity brands can’t fully mask family fractures.
