BROOKLYN Beckham has extended an olive branch amid his ongoing family feud after wishing a heartfelt happy birthday to his granddad Ted.
The star took to Instagram to share a sweet post in honour of his grandfather as he proudly declared he "loved" him, despite his ongoing feud with most members of his family.
Ted is that father of David Beckham but it seemed that Brooklyn brushed all instances of their feud to one side to celebrate Ted.
Sharing a snap of himself alongside his grandfather, he wrote: "Happy birthday grandad. I love you xx."
It came after his mum Victoria opted to not include Brooklyn when sharing her own family tribute to her father-in-law as he marked turning 77.
She shared her own post to mark the big occasion and tagged her two other sons, Romeo and Cruz, as well as mentioning daughter Harper but failed to acknowledge Brooklyn.
Her image was one from David's recent 50th birthday celebrations – an occasion that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz snubbed amid the ongoing family war.
It is the second time that Brooklyn has made contact with his famous clan during the dispute after he previously shared a similar social media message to mark his sister Harper's birthday earlier this month.
It is understood that Brooklyn did not see her on her birthday and hasn't seen her since the feud with his parents and his brother erupted.
Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party.
Chef and photographer Brooklyn has continued to gush over his actress spouse throughout – despite "cutting off brothers Cruz and Romeo" in the drama – amid fears he's "obsessed" with his marriage.
The feud reportedly boiled over after Romeo blocked both Brooklyn and Nicola on Instagram, blindsiding the couple during their holiday.
Initial reports claimed Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed his siblings first, but insiders told The Sun that wasn't the case.
A friend said: "Brooklyn had no idea about any of this until he read about it online."
The Sun was first to report how pop legend Elton John said his piece to his godson Brooklyn on the family difficulties during a swanky lunch.
The legendary singer, 78, has publicly praised Brooklyn and Nicola on social media while the feud has been making headlines, and he has even hung out with them in Cannes.
We revealed Elton "briefly" touched on the family feud before sticking to more neutral territory.
"Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland," said a source.
"He's utterly neutral in this row.
The Beckham Family Feud
- April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
- Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
- Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
- Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
- March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
- April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
- May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
- Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
- Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair."
- June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny.
- Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
- July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
- Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.
"Elton of old may have relished in taking sides – in this case his young godson, Brooklyn – but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all.
"He just wants everyone to be happy. There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour.
"He wants to look after them in his role as "spiritual adviser" as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously.
"Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short — and to patch things up."
Posh Spice then appeared to intervene after the Rocket Man vocalist's involvement to offer a further olive branch.
Matriarch Victoria, 51, has liked Brooklyn's latest Instagram reel showing him rustling up pasta in the kitchen, suggesting tensions could be thawing.
In the video, budding chef Brooklyn, 26, rustles up tomato pasta on a yacht, using a pan of seawater to cook his spaghetti.
