Brooklyn Beckham watched England's World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway from his home in New York City on Saturday, as the rest of his family reunited in Miami to support the Three Lions. The 27-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham posted a photograph on social media showing him watching the match on a large screen in his living room, while his parents, siblings, and extended family celebrated together at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.
The match, which England won 2-1 after extra time thanks to a goal from Jude Bellingham, saw the Beckham family come together in a rare public display of unity. David Beckham, 51, who serves as co-owner and president of Inter Miami CF, was joined by his wife Victoria, 51, and their children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, at the stadium. The family shared several photographs on social media showing them cheering and embracing during the tense encounter.
Brooklyn's absence from the family gathering has reignited speculation about a rift within the Beckham household. Reports have suggested that the eldest Beckham child has become increasingly distant from his parents since his marriage to actress Nicola Peltz in 2022. The couple, who live in New York, have been at the centre of rumours of a feud with Victoria Beckham, though both sides have publicly denied any serious disagreement.
In a post on his Instagram Stories, Brooklyn shared a photograph of the match on his television with the caption: «Come on England.» He did not comment on his family's reunion in Miami. Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham posted a video of the family celebrating Bellingham's goal, writing: «So proud of our @england team! What a game!» David Beckham was also seen roaring with delight as the final whistle blew, with the family embracing in the stands.
The match itself was a dramatic affair, with Norway taking an early lead before England equalised late in the second half. Bellingham's extra-time strike secured a place in the semi-finals for Gareth Southgate's side, sparking celebrations among the 65,000 fans at the Hard Rock Stadium. The Beckham family were seated in a VIP section alongside other celebrities and football figures.
The reunion in Miami comes after months of speculation about the family's dynamics. Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz have largely stayed out of the public eye since their wedding, which was reportedly marred by tensions between Nicola and Victoria. In interviews, both Brooklyn and Nicola have dismissed claims of a feud, insisting that they have a close relationship with the Beckham family. However, the couple's decision to spend Christmas in New York rather than with the family in the UK last year added fuel to the rumours.
David Beckham, a former England captain, has been a vocal supporter of the current national team throughout the tournament. His presence at the stadium alongside his family was seen as a show of solidarity, even as Brooklyn remained in New York. The family's social media posts from the match were met with an outpouring of support from fans, many of whom commented on the apparent warmth between the family members.
England's victory sets up a semi-final clash with either France or Portugal, with the match scheduled to take place later this week. The Three Lions will be hoping to reach their second consecutive World Cup final, having lost to France in the quarter-finals of the 2022 tournament. For the Beckham family, the focus now shifts to supporting the team in the next round, though it remains unclear whether Brooklyn will join them for the semi-final.
The Beckhams have long been one of the most famous families in British popular culture, with David and Victoria's careers in football and fashion respectively making them household names. Their children have also carved out public profiles, with Brooklyn pursuing a career as a chef and social media influencer, Romeo modelling for luxury brands, and Cruz releasing music. The family's public appearances together are relatively rare, making Saturday's reunion all the more notable.
As England prepare for their semi-final, the Beckham family's dynamics will continue to attract attention. Whether Brooklyn chooses to join his family for the next match or remains in New York, the spotlight on the family shows no sign of dimming.
