AS David Beckham celebrated turning 50 with three lavish bashes last week, there was one key person missing from all of them.
It has been revealed eldest son Brooklyn, 26, snubbed the football legend’s milestone birthday amid a family feud over his ex Kim Turnbull — the new love of brother Romeo.

The aspiring chef told Becks and mum Victoria, 51, that he would only attend the intimate dinner at the family home last Wednesday if the London-based model and DJ was not there.
But the Beckhams said “no”.
A pal has also revealed Brooklyn — whose wife Nicola Peltz, 30, has reportedly fallen out with her in-laws — did text his dad to wish him a happy birthday and tried to organise a private meet-up, but was rebuffed.
Last night David offered a public olive branch to his eldest son on Instagram.
He shared photos of a trip to Scotland with Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, and wrote: “Six months ago planned a trip with my boys at the start of last week to camp and fish for my 50th was so much fun. You were missed @brooklynpeltzbeckham.”
A source close to Brooklyn, who lives in Los Angeles, said: “He flew to London with the sole intention of seeing his family and celebrating his dad’s birthday.

“He suggested going for breakfast or a coffee but was told the only chance to see the family would be at one of their lavish parties which Kim would likely be at, so he refused.
“As far as he sees it, his parents have chosen Romeo and his new girlfriend over him.”
However, last night a source close to the Beckhams insisted the fall-out had nothing to do with the siblings and that Kim, 24, had not attended the family’s black-tie dinner at their Cotswolds mansion due to work commitments.
The source said: “This feels very performative. Brooklyn sent a text but it felt like box-ticking, knowing they’d be asked about it.”
Music is heard blaring out of David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash
Brooklyn had a short romance with Kim in 2016, long before meeting his wife.
Last Friday, David and his brood including daughter Harper, 13, flew to France on their £40million private jet for a 24-hour trip to his favourite vineyard and a dinner in Paris. Kim and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, were also there.
Golden Balls then threw a raucous A-list party on Saturday at a London restaurant, which was shut down at 3.35am by the council due to noise complaints.
Brooklyn is said to be upset that the blame for a rift with his parents has been levelled at Nicola.
A second source explained: “They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David’s party on Saturday. Nicola has never told him what to.”
