'We miss you' - David Beckham sends message to son Brooklyn as family pose together on New Year's Eve

Footballing legend David Beckham celebrated New Year's Eve watching a firework display with his family, and he took to Instagram to share a picture while missing their eldest son Brooklyn. Former Manchester United player David sent a message to Brooklyn, 23, alongside the joyous snap posted on his Instagram to mark the new year.

David, 47, looked dapper in a tuxedo joined by his fashion designer wife Victoria, 48, and their children Romeo, 20, Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11. He wrote with a stream of red love hearts: "Happy New Year from the BECKHAM’s we love you @brooklynpeltzbeckham we miss you. 2023."

On Christmas Eve Brooklyn shared a romantic festive picture of himself with his wife Nicola Peltz during their first yuletide together as husband and wife. "Merry Christmas Eve from me and my baby xx" he shared with his 14.7 million followers.

The couple married in April at actress Nicola's family estate in Florida. In October the couple joined the family as they attended Victoria's Paris Fashion Week debut.

Brooklyn's mum broke down in tears as she showcased her spring/summer 2023 collection and was overcome with emotion. After watching models including sisters Bella and gigi Hadid walk in her first Paris runway show, proud Victoria walked along to applause and clasped her hands to her face as she took in the enormity of the occasion.

Brooklyn and Nicola were all smiles as they joined the family to sit in the front row. Their appearance at the show followed rumours of a 'feud' between the pair.

There had been said to be a rift between Nicola and Victoria after a problem occurred with the bride's wedding dress. Previously addressing the reports, Nicola explained how the rumours began when she didn't wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding dress for her big day after Victoria "realised that her atelier couldn’t do it."

Instead, she opted for a Valentino number despite saying she wanted to wear one of the former Spice Girl's designs. In the same interview with Variety magazine Brooklyn insisted things were fine between him, his wife, and her in-laws: "I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that. They’re always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good."

They addressed the rumours again in a joint interview with Grazia USA, saying that the speculation round her and Victoria's relationship "hurt her feelings". "When I read things that say [things like] I was never planning on wearing a [Victoria Beckham] dress or things like that, it does hurt my feelings," she said.

"I try not to let it, but it’s just not the truth. It’s just a bit of a bummer when you’re like, ‘Oh, people think that,’ but it’s just not true.

Addressing choosing her wedding dress designer for her big day, she added: "Well, I was planning on wearing Victoria’s wedding dress. I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created. I thought that was so beautiful and such a beautiful story."

She went on: "We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn’t hear anything. Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn’t make it. So, I spoke to my mom and Leslie [Nicola’s close friend and stylist, stylist Leslie Fremar], and I was like, ‘Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?’"

Nicola, who has been in the spotlight since 2013 with roles in Bates Motel, Transformers: Age of Extinction and others, said about Victoria and hubby David: "They’re great in-laws."
