David and Victoria Beckham embraced the holiday spirit this Christmas, sharing cheerful moments from their home despite ongoing reports of family tension. Victoria, 51, gave fans a look at their celebrations through an Instagram video that highlighted family traditions and festive fun.
David Beckham sets up and lights Christmas tree in new video
Victoria shared another video revealing David fully embracing his role as chief holiday decorator. Wearing a Santa hat, the former soccer star carefully positioned their Christmas tree inside the house before wrapping it in string lights. The moment captured David moving around the room with enthusiasm as he prepared the centerpiece of their festive décor.
Victoria added a playful pop-culture reference in the caption, jokingly comparing her husband to Clark Griswold from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. She wrote that David was giving his best “Clark Griswold.” The posts came amid ongoing speculation about tension between the Beckhams and their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, 26.
Earlier in the week, Cruz addressed rumors claiming that David and Victoria had unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram. “NOT TRUE,” Cruz wrote in a Dec. 20 Instagram Story, posting a screenshot of a Daily Mail headline that claimed his parents, who also share children Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14, had unfollowed Brooklyn. “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right,” he wrote, adding that they “woke up blocked…as did I.”
Speculation about a family divide dates back to Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz. Rumors suggested tensions arose during the reception when singer Marc Anthony, who performed at the event, unexpectedly invited Victoria onstage, reportedly overshadowing the newlyweds’ first dance. A source previously claimed Brooklyn felt uncomfortable during the moment, which added strain to family dynamics. The situation resurfaced earlier this year when Brooklyn skipped David’s 50th birthday celebration, reigniting talk of estrangement.
