David Beckham BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

David Beckham’s world has been split between picture-perfect family moments on the Italian Riviera and emotional headlines exposing a deepening family rift. Over the past week, David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted with son Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel enjoying a sun-soaked vacation in Portofino, Italy. They were photographed on August 8 playfully placing their hands on each other’s backsides as they posed for photos at a seaside restaurant, with Victoria looking effortlessly stylish in a backless black dress and David relaxed in button-down and khakis. Their affectionate PDA, captured by paparazzi and celebrated across social media, comes on the heels of their 26th wedding anniversary and seems a gentle reminder that after all these years, their spark is intact. The couple also shared a touching social post of Cruz singing and David providing backup vocals, drawing celebrity friends and fans to gush over their family dynamic, while Jackie later posted a romantic photo with Cruz simply captioned “ciao,” underscoring how closely knit the younger Beckham siblings remain.

But even as the Beckhams project unity, another storyline has drawn the world’s gaze. Media outlets including The Nightly and HOLA report that David and Victoria were blindsided by their eldest son Brooklyn’s vow renewal with wife Nicola Peltz on August 2, an event held in Westchester, New York, and exclusively attended by Nicola’s family with none of the 30-plus Beckham side invited. Sources close to the family told The Sun this was “the final kick in the teeth,” suggesting that for David especially, seeing Nicola’s billionaire father officiate the ceremony compounded the heartbreak. Even Victoria’s niece, once chosen as a bridesmaid in the high-profile 2022 wedding, was frozen out, fueling speculation on a long-standing discord that dates back to disputes over wedding attire and first-dance plans. Brooklyn’s own social media posts have been marked by a conspicuous absence of tribute to his parents while lavishing birthday praise on his father-in-law Nelson Peltz. Both HOLA and Fox News highlight that this move has left the Beckhams and extended family devastated, questioning the prospects for reconciliation. With Brooklyn quoted as calling the ceremony “a really beautiful experience—a really cute memory” and floating the possibility of making vow renewals an annual tradition, it appears this family divide may linger well beyond the news cycle.

Meanwhile, David’s business activity continues to thrive. His media company, Studio 99, recently unveiled a partnership with LeBron James’ Uninterrupted to produce a documentary series about Inter Miami CF, the MLS team Beckham owns, according to Deadline. On the business front, the Beckham-backed Cellular Goods made headlines by floating on the London Stock Exchange with a valuation above £25 million following a heavily oversubscribed IPO, as reported by Business of Cannabis. All told, even as Beckham’s public image radiates professional success and marital bliss, his private life is marked by very public heartache, making this a week of headlines with lasting significance for both his personal legacy and the Beckham brand.
