David Beckham says he feels ‘very blessed to have been spoiled by his household’ as son Brooklyn snubs his father’s birthday AGAIN
David Beckham has shared that he feels ‘very blessed to have been spoiled by his family’ on his birthday, despite his son Brooklyn skipping the celebrations once again.
To mark his 51st birthday, the football legend shared a sweet throwback snap from his high school years.
David penned: ‘I feel very lucky & blessed to have had a very special day today being spoilt by my wife, kids, family and friends from the moment I opened my eyes till now and I just want to say thank you and I love you all so much & my beautiful family thank you.’
Brooklyn has remained silent on David’s birthday, while his siblings rushed to social media to wish their dad a happy birthday.
Back in January the chef, 27, announced his disassociation from his famous family – declaring he was no longer part of ‘Brand Beckham’ and insisting his parents and their other children Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14, are ‘performative’.

In an apparent dig at Brooklyn, his siblings joined their mum Victoria to surprise David on his big day with a joint and very unlikely family gift, chickens.
Taking to Instagram Posh, 52, shared a clip of the former footballer as he met the birds for the first time and settled them into their coop on the grounds of the family’s £15million Cotswolds estate.
In the sun-soaked video David wore a cowboy hat as he removed his new feathery friends from their boxes with a huge smile on his face.
From behind the camera Victoria gushed: ‘It’s David’s birthday and this is me and the kids bought him, from the boys, they’re so pretty!‘
She captioned the post: ‘Happy Birthday, we love you so much!!’
Romeo also took to Instagram with a sweet tribute as he shared two childhood snaps with his dad.
He penned: ‘Happy birthday dad, love you so much, thank u for everything you do,’ and ‘My best mate’.
While David’s youngest son Cruz shared two snaps to his Instagram Story showing him and his dad on a yacht as he wrote ‘Happy birthday I love you xxx.’
Harper followed her brothers with a sweet post which read: ‘Happy birthday to the best daddy in the whole world’.
‘I honestly could never ask for a better role model too, you are always here for me and I will always be here for you too anytime anywhere have the best day ever, you deserve everything’.
David was previously gifted chickens as a Christmas present by his wife before setting up a hen pen for the new animals on their sprawling estate. You can read the full story here.

It comes shortly after Victoria addressed the feud with Brooklyn directly for the first time after his explosive statement about their estrangement.
She said: ‘I think that we’ve always… We love our children so much. We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be.
‘And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it’.
David and Victoria haven’t spoken to Brooklyn since last May, when he and Nicola snubbed the former footballer’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Brooklyn and Nicola’s lawyers wrote to the Beckhams’ legal team demanding that they only converse through them.
Shortly before Christmas, Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram, and in January, he posted a brutal, bombshell six-page letter on the social media platform.
He claimed David and Victoria controlled him for most of his life, tried to split him and Nicola up and left him embarrassed when his mother danced ‘inappropriately’ with him during his first dance at his wedding.
Speaking about all four of her children earlier in the interview, Victoria added that ‘being a parent of young adult children and adult children, gosh, I mean, it’s very different from having little children’.
‘I think that we’re trying to do the best we can,’ adding that the negative press in the past three months has not affected her fashion and beauty business.
‘I think that ultimately people are buying my product because the product is really good. I don’t think they’re buying my eyeliner just because it’s me,’ she said.
