Romeo Beckham leads birthday tributes to his mother Victoria as Posh Spice celebrates her 52nd birthday, while Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel says they are “lucky” to be “surrounded by her kindness”

Victoria Beckham’s 52nd birthday should have been a moment of pure celebration — and for the most part, it was. But behind the flood of loving tributes and glamorous celebrations, one notable silence has once again reignited questions about the Beckham family’s ongoing rift.

Leading the birthday love was her son Romeo Beckham, who took to social media early to share a heartfelt message alongside a sweet photo of the pair. He wrote that he loved his mum “so so much” and wished her the “best day,” offering a glimpse into their close bond.

He also shared a nostalgic throwback of himself watching his father David Beckham play football as a young boy, with Victoria proudly by his side — a subtle reminder of the family unity that once defined the Beckhams.

While Cruz Beckham has yet to post his own tribute, his girlfriend Jackie Apostel stepped in with a touching message that quickly caught fans’ attention. She thanked Victoria for “raising my favourite human in the whole world” and added how “lucky” they are to be surrounded by her kindness and inspired by her spirit every day.

Even Victoria’s former bandmate Mel B joined in, sending a warm birthday message filled with love, while her fashion empire paid tribute to their founder, calling her truly one of a kind.

The celebrations had already begun earlier in the week, with Victoria — famously known as Victoria Beckham — enjoying an intimate and lavish dinner in Miami with her daughter Harper Beckham. The mother-daughter duo shared a tender moment as Victoria was surprised with a birthday cake, dressed in a glamorous navy gown from her own collection.

Speaking ahead of the evening, Victoria revealed she was heading out with friends to celebrate, describing her outfit as “the perfect party dress” for the occasion.

But just days before her birthday, Victoria addressed the elephant in the room — her fractured relationship with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham.

In a rare and carefully worded interview, she insisted that she and David have always tried to “protect and love our children,” adding that they’ve done their best as parents despite living in the public eye for over three decades.

Notably, she never mentioned Brooklyn by name — a detail that didn’t go unnoticed.

The tension has been building for months. Brooklyn reportedly cut ties with his family earlier this year, even sharing a scathing statement accusing his parents of controlling him for most of his life. Since then, communication has allegedly broken down completely, with reports claiming conversations are now handled through lawyers.

And while his family publicly celebrated Victoria’s milestone birthday, Brooklyn appeared to make his stance clear — posting unrelated content online and seemingly ignoring the occasion altogether.

A birthday filled with love, laughter, and luxury… yet overshadowed by one lingering question: will the Beckham family ever be whole again?
