It wasn’t just a birthday party – it was another Beckham spectacle.
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham once again proved they know how to host in style as they threw yet another lavish 21st birthday celebration for their son, Cruz Beckham, this time taking over exclusive Notting Hill hotspot The Fat Badger.
Dressed head-to-toe in black, Victoria exuded sleek sophistication, finishing her look with dark red heels and oversized sunglasses, while David kept things effortlessly cool in a dark brown leather jacket and navy trousers. The power couple were joined by Cruz and his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, as they arrived for a glittering dinner that quickly turned into a late-night party.
Cruz, who officially turned 21 on February 20, appeared in high spirits – even cheekily lifting up his own camera to snap the photographers waiting outside. Whether it was playful banter or a subtle nod to older brother Brooklyn’s abandoned photography ambitions, the moment didn’t go unnoticed.
Rock Stars, Football Legends and a Surprise Appearance
Among the A-list crowd was an unexpected guest: Dave Grohl, who attended alongside his wife Jordyn Blum.
The couple, rarely seen together in recent years, appeared relaxed and united – two years after it emerged that Grohl had fathered a child with another woman in 2024. According to reports confirmed last year, the baby was born on August 1, 2024, with Grohl’s surname listed on the birth certificate.
Also in attendance were former Arsenal striker Ian Wright and his wife Nancy Hallam, David’s long-time best friend David Gardner with girlfriend Jessica Clarke, as well as Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel and his wife Kate Jackson.
The party wasn’t just about Cruz. The Beckhams also toasted their close friend Caroline Gautier, who is currently masterminding Cruz’s music career.
A source close to the family revealed: “Cruz’s birthday seems to have gone on and on but the Beckhams love a party and they love to look after their friends. They all had a great time, there was great food and dancing, and lots of laughs. It was an eclectic group but the Beckhams are a well connected bunch.”
A Birthday That Just Keeps Giving
The Notting Hill bash comes just days after Cruz celebrated at Mayfair’s The Maine with a Beatles-inspired “Grande Beatle Ball” – a nod to his biggest musical influence. Guests reportedly feasted on New England-style cheeseburgers, chicken burgers and fish tacos before twisting and shouting into the early hours.
And the celebrations aren’t over yet. Cruz is set to launch his UK tour on Wednesday evening at Birmingham venue Madame Roux – marking a new chapter in his growing music career.
But as the champagne flowed and famous faces gathered once more, one person was conspicuously absent: eldest son Brooklyn Beckham.
Once again, Brooklyn was nowhere to be seen – adding fuel to ongoing speculation about tensions within the Beckham clan as his siblings continue to celebrate milestone moments without him.
