The celebrations come amid the ongoing family feud with their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his actress wife Nicola Peltz, 30.
Romeo shared photos from the party hosted at posh Japanese restaurant Aki London on Cavendish Square.
He was seen beaming alongside his his former footie ace dad and fashion designer mum, before he blew out the candles on his cake.
Romeo looked in good spirits surrounded by his friends and family.
His was joined by his younger sister Harper, 14, and his little brother Cruz, 20, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29.
Sweet Harper was seen hugging her dad while on the dancefloor.
While Cruz and Jackie packed on the PDA as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head.
Jackie looked stylish in a black blazer dress and Harper looked chic in a stunning flowing ballgown.
Spice Girls icon Victoria was even spotted letting her hair down as she threw some shapes on the dancefloor.
She looked has elegant as ever in a black satin dress with a sheer lace skirt and black heels, while David looked dapper in a navy suit and a crisp white t-shirt.
They flashed a big smile as they posed for a family photo – but their eldest son Brooklyn was once again missing from the family affair.
His absence was also noticed during the Beckhams holiday in August on their £16M yacht.
Instead Brooklyn spent his summer with wife Nicola’s family, who rented a yacht that is worth £85M.
At one point both Brooklyn and his family were in St Tropez at the same time, but on different yachts.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Brooklyn’s yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It’s a financial flex.
“Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet.
“Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he’s clearly enjoying the spoils.”
ANOTHER BIRTHDAY SNUB
Victoria’s summer holiday pics come after Brooklyn was noticeably failed to wish his brother Romeo a happy birthday this week.
All of the Beckham family were seen posting sweet messages to Romeo on his big day.
However, his big brother Brooklyn chose to snub his sibling, as their family feud rages on.
The birthday snub follows months of social media swipes after Brooklyn failed to turn up for his dad’s 50th birthday party.
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, 30, remain estranged from the famous family, with unfollows and Instagram blocks fuelling rumours of an all-out war.
FAMILY FEUD
Things escalated when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows last month, despite only getting married three years previous.
Brooklyn did not invite any of his family.
In the photos shared by the couple on Instagram, they are surrounded by Nicola’s family and friends.
The ceremony was even officiated by Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, 83.
A source told The Sun of David and Victoria’s reaction to the vow renewal after they found out about the ceremony on a US site.
They told us: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.
“Seeing Nelson [Nicola’s father] having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially.”
The Beckham Family Feud
- April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
- Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
- Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
- Alleged Wedding “Hijack”: In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria “ruined” part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
- March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a “baby voice” (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
- April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
- May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
- Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.

- June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a “crisis team” similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “reputation management” due to the growing media scrutiny.
- Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
- July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
- Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.
