Victoria Beckham shared a sweet tribute to her close pal Tana Ramsay on Thursday, as both stars deal with the fallout of dramatic family feuds.
The designer, 51, has been devastated in recent weeks after her son Brooklyn released a bombshell statement where he said he did not want to reconcile with his parents and has ‘chosen’ a ‘peaceful’ life with his wife Nicola Peltz.
Meanwhile Tana, who is married to chef Gordon Ramsay, has seen her daughter Holly’s husband Adam Peaty dramatically fall out with his own family just weeks before their wedding last month, after the Olympic swimmer banned his parents from attending the ceremony.
Victoria and David have put on a united front in the wake of the drama, and travelled to Paris earlier this week with sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper to see her accept a prestigious fashion honour.
At the event, she was supported by both Tana and Jo Manoukian, who shared a sweet post honouring her pal after 20 years of friendship.
Jo captioned the post: ‘This accolade highlights your creativity and perseverance in an industry that we know quite frankly is brutal.

‘@victoriabeckham you have built a successful business that I couldn’t be prouder to witness and celebrating your achievement is made even more special after two decades of friendship.’
Re-sharing the collage on her Stories, Victoria added: ‘Girlfriends for over 20 years, love you @tanaramsay @jomanoukian.’
David and Victoria’s eldest son blew up their family feud last week with the release of a six page statement in which he said he did not want to reconcile with his parents and has ‘chosen’ a ‘peaceful’ life with his wife Nicola Peltz.
At the centre of Brooklyn’s statement was the allegation that his mum Victoria had ‘hijacked’ his first dance with Nicola at their 2022 wedding when Marc ‘called me to the stage.’
He went on to claim that his mum ‘danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.’
The Beckham clan appeared determined not to allow their family drama to overshadow Victoria’s achievement, as she was presented with the prestigious accolade by the French Ministry of Culture on Monday.
The award recognises the individual contributions of artists, writers, and cultural figures to the arts and literature, and previous recipients include Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Jude Law and Denis Villeneuve.
And in her acceptance speech, the Spice Girl made a special mention to her children, as she thanked them for ‘always believing in my vision’, despite Brooklyn’s recent vitriolic claims against her.

The addition of Lady Beckham’s name to the Order of Arts and Letters will be the latest significant family event to be snubbed by Brooklyn, whose recent statement confirmed any residual ties with his family have been severed.
The influencer had previously skipped his father’s milestone 50th birthday celebration and the London launch of his mother’s Netflix show.
The family have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family.
The influencer went as far as to say he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.
Meanwhile, Tana’s daughter Holly tied the knot with Olympic swimmer Adam last month, with the lead-up to that big day also fraught with drama thanks to a feud between the sportsman and his family.
With sister Bethany the only family member to attend the star-studded wedding, Tana’s husband Gordon was accused of making a dig at Adam’s absent parents during his father-of-the-bride speech at the plush Kin House.
Guests said the famous chef commented on how beautiful Holly looked and told Adam he was a ‘lucky man’, adding: ‘Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.’
It was claimed that Gordon then told daughter Holly: ‘Shame you don’t have the same.’
There was no sign of trouble on Monday as David and Victoria joined three of their children in Paris – the family’s first appearance since Brooklyn’s scathing statement
It was reported that Adam failed to mention his parents and wider family in his wedding speech, instead praising his swim coach Mel Marshall for being his ‘everything’, (pictured with his parents in 2016)
It was also reported that Adam failed to mention his parents and wider family in his speech, instead praising his swim coach Mel Marshall for being his ‘everything’, and for ‘grounding and inspiring’ him.
In an emotional moment he also reportedly said that he saw Mel ‘like a mum’ due to her support.
Sitting at home more than 130 miles away in Staffordshire, Adam’s broken-hearted mother Caroline was said to be ‘beside herself’ with grief.
Speaking from the council house where Adam grew up, the 59-year-old told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I’m not going to be hurt like this again.’
She went on to add that she felt as if Holly and Adam ‘have cut my heart out’ and was reportedly ‘outraged’ by Gordon Ramsey’s explosive speech.
The newspaper also revealed that moments before he walked into the abbey clutching the hand of his five-year-old son George, Adam was sent a devastating text message by his aunt Louise.
In it, she wrote: ‘I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still. Shame on you both. Shame.
‘Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.’
Meanwhile, Adam’s great-aunt Janet, 73, said: ‘I just feel so sorry for Caroline.
‘I can’t believe he’s done this to his mother who’s done so much for him from an early age. To be treated like this is not kind.’
The roots of the conflict can be traced back to September 2024, when Adam and Holly snubbed wider members of the Peaty family by not inviting them to their engagement party.
Caroline, who spent years ferrying her son to early-morning training sessions, was also not invited to Holly’s glamorous Cotswolds hen do at Soho Farmhouse, attended by the bride’s mother Tana and friends including Victoria.
