Brooklyn, 27, hasn't seen his parents David and Victoria since late 2024 and in January this year he released a bombshell statement accusing them of manipulating him throughout his 'whole life' and of trying to 'ruin' his relationship with wife .
On Friday, his former footballer father David received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, watched by pal , Spice Girl turned fashion designer wife Victoria, and their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper, who had all flown to for the event.

Four hours after the ceremony, 14-year-old Harper was photographed going to the LA home which Brooklyn shares with actress wife Nicola. The couple were not at home and she left after a few minutes. The paparazzi pictures were printed in the New York Post.
Upon learning of the visit, Brooklyn's lawyers at Schillings accused the Beckhams of using Harper as a pawn in hostilities. They released a statement which said: 'The fact that photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all – this was choreographed for the cameras.'
Friends of Brooklyn's doubled down on that allegation and accused David and Victoria of 'digging deep into their bag of tricks' with the Harper visit, characterising it as yet another PR gambit by the couple.

A friend commented: 'Acting like this is very in character and on brand for the Beckhams, and it proves what Brooklyn has been saying all along.
'They are digging deep into their bag of tricks with this. This option that they chose is so counter-productive. It achieves nothing other than relaying their desperation and all that results in is that the relationship just deteriorates.'

The 27-year-old shared an Instagram story showing himself running in New York, making it clear he was on the opposite side of the country when his sister arrived at his front door
The source added that Brooklyn has had no meaningful contact with Harper since the row over David's 50th birthday party in May 2025.
They explained that this is not because he doesn't care about her, but the opposite. I'm told that Brooklyn loves his sister but believes that any ongoing contact puts her in 'too difficult' a position with their parents, and so he has opted to step back for now to try and protect her from getting drawn into the hostilities.
The source said: 'Brooklyn has had very limited contact for that reason, and this latest incident with Harper shows that his instincts were right.

'Using the kids in your campaigning, this is not a great look for a parent.'
The source added: 'Nothing has changed since [the Instagram statement in] January. Brooklyn does not want to get involved in a PR war. The Beckhams have never grasped the reality of what they did to him and Nicola, and that the constant campaigning against their son's wife had consequences. It's not just what they did, it is that they didn't stop doing it. It is very sad when a family is fractured like this.'
Friends of the Beckhams though insisted that David and Victoria had not been aware that Harper had gone to visit Brooklyn. They claimed that a photographer had just 'got lucky' to catch her there. Describing the idea of set-up pictures and a PR stunt involving the teen as 'obviously nonsense and unpleasant', a friend said: 'As if anyone would do that, let alone on the day of David's star.
'If they were really brand and image obsessed that [ceremony] would have been the focus not setting up pap shots which, by the way, they have never done. I suspect the paparazzi was there waiting to catch Brooklyn and Nicola on the day of David's star ceremony – it was just lucky for the pap.'

The source added: 'Harper dropped past on the spur of moment. No one even knew Harper had been there. She went off her own back, to drop something off.'
