Victoria and David Beckham treated their family to a lavish evening at a prestigious restaurant in London on Friday night (February 20) to celebrate son Cruz’s 21st birthday. It comes as the Beckhams continue to recover after the damning split by Brooklyn from the rest of the family.

The Beckhams showed a united front as they left the exclusive Gymkhana restaurant in Piccadilly, all whilst eldest son Brooklyn continues to cause the family grief. Cruz celebrated his landmark birthday alongside girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, who sported a T-shirt featuring pictures of him and his musical collaborators.

Despite the ongoing family feud, the family were beaming with smiles following their meal at the Indian restaurant. Victoria, 51, looked glitzy and chic in clothes from her own fashion line as she stepped out with Harper, 14, and husband David, 50.

Romeo, 23, and his girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, looked besotted with each other as they came out shortly afterwards. This follows Brooklyn’s appearance at a culinary event just before his brother Cruz’s 21st birthday on Friday, according to the Mirror.

David and Victoria’s firstborn co-hosted a Burger Bash event at the 2026 South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami Beach, Florida, rather than returning home to join his family. Brooklyn — who attended to promote his Cloud 23 hot sauce brand — launched a scathing assault on parents, David and Victoria, in a furious tirade in January as he pledged to never communicate with them again.

On Sunday (February 15), Brooklyn and his wife Nicola enjoyed a luxurious evening out together. Whilst he may have had his tattoo tribute to his father removed, Brooklyn continues to sport the £220,000 timepiece his dad presented him for his own 21st birthday.

As photographers captured him walking hand-in-hand with the heiress, he flashed the rose-gold Patek Philippe Nautilus reportedly valued at $300,000, which was given to him by the former footballer. The Peltz-Beckhams appeared smitten as always following their romantic meal, with Brooklyn proudly wearing what he has described as his “favourite watch,” which he continues to wear daily despite asserting he has no intentions of ever reconciling with his parents.

Brooklyn opted to hide his wrists at the food festival on Thursday (February 19), donning a beige cardigan instead. Meanwhile, David showed off his pride in his son when he shared a heartfelt tribute to Cruz on his 21st birthday on Friday morning.

As his celebrated father led tributes to the aspiring singer-songwriter on social media, his remarks could have been interpreted as a subtle swipe at his alienated eldest son, Brooklyn, as he praised Cruz for being so ‘kind, considerate and fiercely loyal’. The former Manchester United legend was amongst the first family members to share a personal message to Cruz as he marked his milestone birthday.

Posting an endearing video of Cruz as a young child, David’s effusive tribute read, “Happy 21st birthday to my little boy.” He then poignantly stated: “Not so little anymore but the proudest thing that I am of you is the person and man that you have become, you are kind, considerate and fiercely loyal to your family, friends and everyone around you which makes you a very special person.

“You are on your own journey in life and you are working hard and having fun which is what life is all about… We love you Cruzie and hope you have the most amazing day because you deserve to.” David concluded his heartfelt message with a tip of the hat to his fashion designer wife, writing: “Well done mum on bringing up another special young man.”
