David Beckham is celebrating 27 years of marriage to his forever bride Victoria Beckham with a series of sweet throwback pictures amid the family’s ongoing rift with their estranged son, Brooklyn Beckham.
“29 years together, 27 married & you have given me everything I could ever wish for,” the soccer legend, 51, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 4, alongside a series of throwback pictures featuring the pair when they first started dating in the late 90s and throughout their over two decades-long relationship.
“Our proudest achievement will always be our family,” David continued in the caption. “I love you & Happy Anniversary.”
The post featured a photo of the couple — then newlyweds — dancing at their wedding, along with various photos of what appeared to be the pair when they first started dating. For the uninitiated, David met the Spice Girls singer, now 52, in 1997, after the former Manchester United player spotted her on television in the players’ lounge and famously told a friend that he was going to marry her.
David and Victoria went on to announce their engagement in January 1998 and officially said “I do” on July 4, 1999. Shortly after, they welcomed son Brooklyn, followed later by sons Romeo Beckham, Cruz Beckham and daughter Harper Beckham.
The sweet anniversary post comes amid an ongoing and public rift among the Beckham family, primarily between Victoria and David and their son Brooklyn. Issues within the famous family reportedly first started in the lead up to Brooklyn’s April 2022 wedding to his now-wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner.
Early speculation centered the contentious family rift on Nicola wearing a Valentino gown instead of a dress designed by Victoria’s eponymous label. Nicola initially pushed back on the feud rumors, telling The Times in November 2022 that she “really, really wanted to wear” Victoria’s design but circumstances changed. Brooklyn, for his part, also downplayed the behind-the-scenes drama, telling Variety in August that same year, “They’re always going to try and ptu people down. But everyone gets along, which is good.”
Fast forward to January 2026, when Brooklyn issued a scathing public statement via social media addressing the feud and blaming his parents — in particular his mother — for their inappropriate behavior leading up to and during his wedding.
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz proved their commitment to each other by renewing their vows. ‘This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment and to create a meaningful memory together,” a source close to the couple exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Saturday, August 2, the day of the couple’s vow renewal.

“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private,” Brooklyn wrote. “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.”
He continued at the time, “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.”
Victoria finally addressed the feud when speaking to The Wall Street Journal in an April 2026 profile, though she did not name Brooklyn directly.
“I think that we’ve always — we love our children so much,” she said at the time. “We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”
