Sir David Beckham has described wife Lady Victoria and their children as his ‘life’ in an emotional address to Instagram followers – and his absent eldest son.
In what appears to be another attempt to resolve their ongoing estrangement, the former Manchester United and England footballer included Brooklyn Beckham in his latest round-up of family photos on New Year’s Eve.
Brooklyn has been absent from every significant family event over the course of the year, including his father’s milestone 50th birthday celebration and long awaited investiture at Windsor Castle.
The cooking influencer also missed the launch of his mother’s hit Netflix series, while her annual catwalk shows in Paris, New York and London were also skipped, with Brooklyn spending much of his year in the United States with American wife Nicola Peltz.
But Sir David, 50, was evidently keen to build a bridge over troubled water while sharing a series of family photos with Instagram followers, among them a shot of Brooklyn as a teenager.
Captioning the shot, he wrote: ‘I love you all so much.’

Further shots included the retired footballer with sons Romeo, Cruz and daughter Harper, while a final image featured wife Victoria and all for four of her children, with the caption: ‘You are my life.’
Earlier that day, Sir David reflected on the past year and spoke of how ‘grateful’ he was for moments such as his 50th birthday and receiving his knighthood while admitting it is a year he’ll ‘remember forever’.
The Inter Miami co-owner shared an Instagram carousel of 20 monument moments from 2025, none of which included Brooklyn.
However, he did include photos with Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14, enjoying family holidays and celebrations together over the past 12 months.
Alongside the images, he wrote: ‘I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner.’
Sir David thanked his wife Victoria, 51, and their children in the post, but did not name check them individually as he has done in the past.
Referencing his former Manchester United manager, he added: ‘I’m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all…
‘But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say “onto the the next”. Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025. @victoriabeckham I love you & our kids.’

The collection of images also featured a shot of Sir David with daughter Harper as an infant
The post included pictures with David’s four family dogs, cocker spaniels Fig, Sage, and Olive, plus a Cockapoo named Simba.
Lady Victoria also showed support for her husband by resharing his post, and writing: ‘We are all so proud of you (and love you so much!).’
It comes after Brooklyn and Nicola decided to snub the Beckham’s Christmas in the Cotswolds and spend it in the US instead.
The actress revealed how much she ‘loved being home’ over the weekend after wrapping filming for the thriller Pretty Ugly.
The couple have continued to put on a united display amid mounting backlash from fans urging him to him to heal the rift with his family.
