Victoria Beckham’s latest Paris Fashion Week appearance was notably marked by the absence of her eldest son Brooklyn amid ongoing family tensions. The event, held at the historic Conciergerie in Paris, traditionally draws a full attendance from the Beckham family, who gather to support Victoria’s fashion showcases.
This year, David Beckham, their younger sons Romeo and Cruz, along with their partners and daughter Harper, were present in the front row to watch Victoria’s collection. The younger members of the family, including Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull and Cruz’s partner Jackie Apostel, wore outfits from Victoria’s label. Harper, who is launching her own skincare and beauty line, Harlo by Harper, was also seen engaging with family, posing for a selfie with Romeo earlier in the day.
However, Brooklyn Beckham, 27, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, were not in attendance despite being in Paris. The couple had been seen at a Messika event approximately a mile from the fashion show venue the night before, and had enjoyed a date night earlier in the week ahead of attending the Balenciaga fashion show at the Tennis Club de Paris. The last time Brooklyn attended one of Victoria’s presentations was in September 2024, before a public rift surfaced within the family.
The discord reportedly deepened after Brooklyn declined to participate in David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations, triggering further strain. Brooklyn later posted a lengthy message on Instagram outlining grievances, including accusations that Victoria “hijacked” the first dance at his wedding, contributing to a still-unresolved family feud. Sources suggest there is currently no resolution in sight.
Despite the family tensions, Victoria Beckham remained focused on her work and appeared upbeat during Fashion Week preparations. Videos shared on social media showed her training on a StairMaster while wearing heels, demonstrating her commitment to maintaining her fitness during the event.
Victoria’s company recently reported a £7.3 million operating profit for the previous year, underscoring her continued business success alongside her creative endeavors.
While efforts were reportedly made to avoid contact between Brooklyn and his brother Romeo during the week, family insiders acknowledged the palpable strain caused by the ongoing disagreements. As Victoria highlights important moments in her career at Paris Fashion Week, the absence of her eldest son remains a visible reminder of the fractured family dynamics.
