Brooklyn Beckham has sent a message to his family as his father, David, recovers in the hospital.
As previously reported, David Beckham has been hospitalized after undergoing surgery for “unbearable” pain in his wrist.
The 50-year-old football legend was pictured in a hospital bed with his arm in a blue sling, managing a smile for the camera.
His wife Victoria, 51, shared the photo on Instagram, writing: “Get well soon, daddy.” In another image, Beckham wore a bracelet reading: “Get well soon.”
While the former Manchester United star did not reveal how the injury occurred, a source told Daily Mail that the surgery was to remove a screw embedded in his wrist from a break he suffered 22 years ago during a match in South Africa, which had begun causing significant pain.
Amid his father’s recovery, Brooklyn, 26, reached out publicly to his family for the first time.
He posted on social media, which read: “Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much,” adding two love hearts in a message to his grandmother Sandra.
Insiders noted that while it was a positive step, the chances of a full reconciliation with his parents remain slim. “At present, it feels like there is too much to overcome,” a source said.
It's been rumored that there have been tensions between Brooklyn's mom, Victoria, and wife Nicola, since the couple's wedding in April 2022.
According to reports, some family friends are accusing the Bates Motel star of influencing her husband's social media posts and isolating him from his family.
Last month, it emerged that Brooklyn had travelled to London without informing his family.
A picture on Instagram showed him sipping a pint at London’s Wigmore pub, with his own-brand hot sauce visible on the table.
Friends recognised the pub, located near the Langham Hotel, where the Beckhams have stayed.
“The fact that Brooklyn was in the country and failed to see any of his family was heartbreaking. And not only that, but here he was posting about it,” a friend said, per The Mirror.
It was also noted that Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from Beckham's lavish 50th birthday bash in London last month.
However, a source close to the couple has denied these allegations, saying: “She is not isolating him at all. He is free to do what he wants, and he loves his wife, and they are happy together. They are each other’s family.”
But, adding to speculation, fans have observed that Brooklyn’s “mama’s boy” tattoo over his heart has been replaced with a bouquet, believed to represent his wedding.
Sources have claimed that the Spice Girl sees the ongoing feud as her “worst nightmare,” with one insider claiming to the Daily Mail: “Victoria dislikes Nicola intensely and it’s been war behind the scenes pretty much ever since the wedding. It’s always been a tug of war about Brooklyn, and Victoria has not wanted to let go.”
The insider added: “Victoria feels he has been absorbed into the Peltzes and that his life is all about that family... Even when Nicola and Brooklyn went out to Paris for Victoria’s fashion show, they stayed with her family because her mother likes to go to the couture shows.”
Brooklyn has addressed the rumours in a Glamour interview, stating: “Don’t listen to all the nonsense. Keep your head down, work hard, stay friendly. There will always be people who talk. The important thing is that we’re happy together.”
