David Beckham got his Hollywood star on Friday, but the one Beckham living just miles away skipped it.
Brooklyn Beckham, 27, was a no-show at his father’s Walk of Fame ceremony outside Ovation Hollywood, the latest absence in a family estrangement that has run for about three years. He posted nothing about the star, before or after, on any platform.
What he did post was for his wife. A day earlier, Nicola Peltz shared loved-up photos of the two heading to a separate Los Angeles event, captioned “I love you.” Brooklyn answered in the comments, “I love you xx.” That was the whole of his public Thursday.
The quiet tracks with where he left things. In a lengthy Instagram statement in January, Brooklyn said he did not want to reconcile with his parents and rejected the idea that anyone was steering him. “I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” he wrote.
His brothers kept the door open anyway. Asked beforehand whether Brooklyn would come, Romeo Beckham told HELLO!, “I hope so. We love him.” Romeo, Cruz and 14-year-old Harper all turned out. David, 51, thanked his “beautiful children” from the podium.
The rift has played out almost entirely in public, in statements and unfollows and captions that everyone reads for clues.
