Brooklyn Beckham attends godfather Elton John’s Oscars party after Mother’s Day snub

Brooklyn Beckham has reunited with his godfather Sir Elton John on the same day he snubbed his mum Victoria Beckham.

On Sunday, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham decided not to share a post on social media acknowledging Mother’s Day, despite his dad paying tribute to his wife and the mother of their four children.

The cold shoulder from the 27-year-old came after he did manage to honour his wife Nicola Peltz’s mum though, with Claudia Heffner ringing in her birthday this weekend.

Re-sharing a post initially shared by his wife, 31, Brooklyn declared that he ‘loved’ his mother-in-law ‘so much’.

Despite Brooklyn’s ongoing estrangement from his parents, he did catch up with his godfather Sir Elton at the weekend, with the legendary performer hosting an Oscars viewing party event on Sunday night.

Brooklyn and Nicola attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 34th Annual Academy Awards viewing party, where they wore matching all-black outfits.

At one point in the evening, Sir Elton could be seen sitting at a table chatting with the couple as others watched on.

Although Sir Elton has not commented publicly on Brooklyn’s feud with his parents since his bombshell social media takedown of them in January, last year, he and husband David Furnish expressed their support for Brooklyn and his wife.

In June, Brooklyn shared a post dedicated to his wife to mark five years since he proposed and declared it the ‘best decision ever’.

Although his parents never commented on the post, Sir Elton tagged Brooklyn and Nicola and wrote: ‘Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple.’

Meanwhile, David also shared: ‘Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.’

With a friendship stretching back 30 years, David affectionately calls the musician ‘Uncle Elton’ after they became friends in his football days in the 1990s.

Although Sir Elton was due to perform at the Beckhams wedding in 1999, he suffered a heart attack that prevented him from playing. He later sang at one of the children’s christenings.

Victoria once disclosed it was Sir Elton who inspired her to leave the Spice Girls, writing an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching him perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing.

It’s now been two months since Brooklyn launched a brutal social media take-down of his parents, claiming they had ‘controlled’ him for most of his life and that he ‘did not want to reconcile’ with them after making the decision to cut them off.

Although his parents recently tried to extend a public olive branch when Brooklyn celebrated his 27th birthday earlier this month, their social media posts were ignored, likely because he’s also blocked them.

Brooklyn didn’t acknowledge his mum on Mother’s Day, but David posted a sweet tribute to his wife of 27 years, with whom he also shares children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14.

Posting an old black-and-white snap while Victoria was pregnant with one of their kids, he wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the most amazing mummy…you are an inspiration in all the ways a mum should be to our 4 amazing children. We love you so much and I’m so thankful for the family we have created 🩷 Have a special Mother’s Day because if there’s one person that deserves it it’s you 🩷 I love you 🩷 @victoriabeckham.

In his bombshell statement shared on Instagram on January 19, Brooklyn began by writing: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.’

Brooklyn went on to slam the narrative that his wife ‘controls’ him. ‘I have been controlled by my parents for most my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief,’ he continued.

Despite Brooklyn making no moves to reconcile with his parents or brothers, his youngest brother Cruz was recently asked about whether he wanted to be back in contact with his brother.

While out in Paris with his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30, Cruz was asked by a TMZ reporter: ‘Any well wishes to your brother? It’s his birthday.’ With a smile, he replied: ‘Happy Birthday.’

The musician, who is currently on tour with his band, put his head down when probed on whether he’s spoken to Brooklyn lately, but had an optimistic response when the reporter quizzed: ‘Any chance you guys will repair the relationship? Are you hopeful for that?’ ‘Hopefully,’ Cruz said back.
