AS Harper Beckham marked 15 years around the sun on Friday, her famous parents were quick to lead gushing tributes to the teenager.
This was matched by sweet posts from her siblings Cruz and Romeo and well-wishes from celeb pals, but her eldest brother Brooklyn has snubbed the occasion completely.

The move from Brooklyn, who Harper previously had a very close relationship with, has resulted in ‘heartbreak’ for the teenager – as it was recently revealed she’d be devastated if he ignored the milestone.
As Harper – who is the youngest of the Beckhams’ four children – turned 15 today (July 10), her mum Victoria described her as the most “beautiful soul” while sharing a carousel of sweet pictures.

Harper responded by telling her mum “I love you so much x”, as celebs such as Mel C, Nicole Appleton and more sent their well wishes.
David matched this with a post of his own, dubbing Harper his “perfect daughter” and joking she had a personality “just like daddy”.
Older brother Romeo shared a sweet snap from when he and Harper were younger as he wrote: “Happy birthday to the most beautiful person in the world I love you so much”.
While Cruz told Harper “I love you more than you know” in a sweet post, as his girlfriend Jackie Apostel also shared a post describing Harper as her “bestie”.
However, it was a very different story over on eldest Brooklyn’s Instagram.
The budding chef posted some Stories promoting his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23, but has so far completely ignored any public mention of his little sister’s birthday as his feud with the rest of the family rumbles on.
Brooklyn had previously described Harper as the “best little sister in the whole world” and had often shared sweet pictures with the teenager, but now is thought to have cut contact.
This is the first year he has not acknowledged her birthday, with Brooklyn sharing a snap to his Instagram Stories for her last year as she turned 14.

Posting a picture of himself with wife Nicola Peltz and Harper in the middle, he wrote at the time: “Happy birthday Harper we love u”.
However, their family feud has since gone from bad to worse – following Brooklyn’s explosive Instagram statement and his decision to block his whole family on social media.
Earlier this week, it was reported by the Daily Mail that Harper was “devastated” she wouldn’t be celebrating with Brooklyn there too.
“Harper is heartbroken and devastated at her brother’s decision not to speak to her and now her birthday is just days away it becomes a difficult scenario once again,” a source told the publication ahead of the day.
They added: “They were so close. Now he won’t speak to her and she can’t understand why. There is nothing worse for Harper than him ignoring her on her birthday.
“All she wants is to have a relationship with her big brother. It is so horrifying and awful for David and Victoria to see.”
The snub comes after the Beckhams put on a united front in Miami this week to support Victoria as she opened her first ever US clothing pop-up.
Harper, Romeo and Cruz, plus the boys’ partners Kim Turnbull and Jackie, all attended to mark Victoria’s latest career achievement.
Sharing a picture from the day, Victoria wrote: So excited to be here tonight in Miami, celebrating the House of Victoria Beckham at @balharbourshops with my family and friends!”
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.
Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
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.
Brooklyn launches nuclear attack on his ‘controlling’ parents and berates mum Victoria in furious tirade.
Previously, Harper sent Brooklyn a heartfelt message as tensions heightened.
Just last month, Brooklyn was said to have again blanked Harper’s attempts to reconcile when she delivered a letter to his Los Angeles home.
