The photos from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations you didn’t see! Star’s close friend shares slew of snaps from A-list party

A close friend of the Beckhams has given a glimpse inside David’s lavish 50th birthday celebrations with a string of new snaps.

Celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves, who has been friends with David and his wife Victoria for years, has shared a carousel of Instagram snaps ‘looking back on a beautiful week, celebrating David Beckham.’

The photos were taken during the week long celebrations for David which included an intimate dinner at his Cotswolds mansion, a trip to France for a vineyard tour and finally a big bash in London.

In the snaps, Ken is seen posing with David and Victoria at their Cotswolds home looking dapper in the tuxedo dress code, whilst he wore a white tux for the London bash, which was attended by the likes of Tom Cruise.

He also snapped selfies with members of the Beckham family including David’s sister Joanne and his niece Libby Adams, the daughter of Victoria’s sister Louise, as well as another close family pal, Eva Longoria.

Ken also shared a sweet moment with the Victoria and David’s daughter Harper, 13, as they chatted over dinner at the London bash.

In one snippet of David blowing out the candles at his Cotswolds bash, Ken gave a glimpse at a poignant party detail – childhood photos of David scattered down the long table.

Whilst Ken was one of the VIP guests at the celebrations, there were two notable absences – Victoria and David’s eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.

Nicola and Brooklyn are now said to be embroiled in a family fall out with the Beckhams, after the couple skipped all of the 50th celebrations.

The Mail’s Katie Hind revealed this week that Brooklyn has ditched his old pals in the UK and has followed Nicola’s lead when it comes to mixing in new LA circles.

The couple’s absence at the events is said to have cemented the divide between them, with The Mail revealing that Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull has been made the ‘scapegoat’ in the feud. 

A Mail Plus report also revealed Victoria’s heartbroken verdict on the row, claiming that she feels ‘betrayed’ by Brooklyn and thinks Nicola is a viper. Read the full story here.

A source said: ‘Victoria is fairly open among her close friends about what a viper Nicola is and how she feels betrayed by Brooklyn, so the mask has fully dropped.’

The Beckhams have been hit by fears they won’t be able to heal their rift with Brooklyn as Victoria has been having ‘sleepless nights’ over the feud.

The fashion designer and her husband David are said to have been left heartbroken at the distance that has grown between them and their eldest son.

A source told The Sun: ‘This is Victoria’s worst nightmare. The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.

‘It’s been difficult with Brooklyn since he met Nicola, and there’s no denying that there was a family fallout over their wedding.

‘But Victoria and David have worked hard to get things back on track, so this is a real blow.’

Victoria’s social media has been filled with photographs from various parties held to celebrate David’s 50th birthday last week, including a bash at their Cotswolds home. 

Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn also declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a ‘boys’ fishing trip to celebrate his 50th.

The Mail revealed David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz.

Sources have suggested that Brooklyn’s decision was influenced by his wife.

‘Brooklyn was asked to join them ages ago,’ one claimed.

‘Then he came to London in time but he didn’t go. Once again David made the best of things and had a great time with Cruz and Romeo.’

David still offered an olive branch to his son as he shared snaps from the trip, as he captioned one of his posts: ‘You were missed @brooklynbeckha
