‘Heartbroken’ Victoria Beckham has reportedly vowed to not let the fall out with estranged son Brooklyn ruin her family’s Christmas.
Victoria, 51, and Sir David, 50, are engulfed in a feud with their eldest child and his wife Nicola Peltz, that has resulted in their absence from all of the family’s key events over the past year – among them the footballer’s 50th birthday celebrations and recent investiture.
Brooklyn, 26, is expected to spend the festive period with Nicola and her billionaire family in Miami, while the Beckhams celebrate together in the United Kingdom.
Now despite the anguish, Victoria is believed to be working hard to put on a brave face and stay strong for her husband and teenage daughter Harper, 14. The couple are also parents to Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20.
A source said: ‘It’s been a year since they last all saw each other and it’s something she will never come to terms with. But she won’t let it get her down over the festive period as she needs to be strong, especially for Harper, as well as her parents and David’s parents’.
Friends of the Beckham family have said Victoria’s mum Jackie and David’s mum Sandra are ‘very sad’ at the rift that means they no longer see Brooklyn, especially because they were always so close.

The insider told The Sun: ‘Brooklyn spent so much time with her parents Jackie and Tony for the first few years of his life and they had such a special bond, while Sandra looked after him so much growing up’.
‘Harper really misses her big brother and Nicola. Victoria is hoping that Brooklyn at least calls his grandparents over Christmas. She’s given up on him calling her.’
Daily Mail have contacted Victoria’s representatives for comment.
Brooklyn’s absence is said to be ‘taking its toll’ on Victoria and David, particularly after he missed out on watching his father receive his knighthood last month and his team Inter Miami win the MLS title.
During one of Brooklyn’s recent cookery videos fans raced to advise him to reach out before it was too late, urging: ‘Go and see your parents, you will regret it later in life’; ‘Talk to your mother!!!’
‘Call your parents’; ‘Ring your old man’; ‘Call your mum .. you only get one and life’s too short !’; ‘Speak to your parents – only one life and it is very precious’.
It comes after his estranged brother Cruz extended another olive branch to Brooklyn on Sunday, by sharing a home video clip of himself and Brooklyn as children.
It was his second reference to the influencer in as many weeks, with the aspiring musician previously sharing a photo of himself with Brooklyn, their father and other brother Romeo during a 2021 holiday with the caption: ‘Love you guys’.

While David appeared to make his own attempt at reaching out to Brooklyn over social media last week, as he shared a throwback picture with his sons.
Next to a photo of himself and Victoria with kids Romeo, Cruz and Harper and the MLS trophy this month, he added a throwback shot of him with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz after winning the same cup as a player with LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012.
‘License to cry,’ he captioned the collage, as he marked the occasion with his family after making history as the first person to win the MLS Cup both as a player and as an owner.
While Brooklyn’s grandmother Jackie suggested she was keen for Brooklyn to come home over the festive period by hanging his personalised stocking on her fireplace with the rest of her grandchildren’s.
Victoria shared a video of her mother’s festive display with the identical red stockings for Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper pinned above the hearth, alongside their numerous cousins.

The included her younger sister Louise’s children Liberty, Tallulah, Finlay and Quincy, who she shares with her ex-husband, Darren Flood.
Insiders claimed the move was a deliberate attempt to send a message to Brooklyn, told The Sun: ‘Usually they wouldn’t post all of the Christmas stockings laid out, but for them, it’s their way of showing how missed Brooklyn is…
‘How he does have a family that loves him, so whatever the narrative is going on with him and Nicola’s family, that is not the Beckhams’ story…
‘The message they’re sending is that the door is always open and he’s always welcome. They’d love nothing more than to see Brooklyn over Christmas, put the past behind them and start 2026 afresh.
‘And Nicola? Well they’ve stopped trying to win her back over. It might never happen, she might never warm up to them again. So for now, they’re concentrating on Brooklyn.’
