BROOKLYN Beckham “could cause heartbreak” for his little sister Harper as a feud casts shadow over her birthday celebrations.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham has hit the headlines recently after a distancing from his family.
Rumours about a feud with the Beckham clan and Nicola Peltz, 30, have circulated since her £3million wedding to Brooklyn, 26, in Florida.
Since then, the alleged clash has intensified as Brooklyn snubbed all four parties that were thrown for his ex-footballer dad David to celebrate his birthday.
Then more recently, Brooklyn sparked further conversation as he celebrated Nicola’s dad birthday despite missing his own dad’s birthday bash.
It comes as Brooklyn was backed by his godfather Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, after he posted a photo with wife Nicola last week.
Elton wrote: “Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple,” followed by love hearts“
His husband David added his own comment, which read: “Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.”
Elton is the godfather of the Beckhams‘ eldest son Brooklyn, and they’re very close, regularly going on trips abroad together over the years.
Both Victoria and David Beckham failed to comment on or like their son’s anniversary post.
According to The Mail, his family – which include Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, – refer to the aspiring chef as ‘The Hostage’.
It’s also been reported that the former amateur photographer failed to even congratulate his dad after news emerged of his knighthood.
It was recently revealed that the situation has become so severe that Brooklyn is no longer on speaking terms with his siblings.
Now Harper, the youngest of David and Victoria’s children, turns 14 on Thursday and Brooklyn is expected to be missing from the Beckhams’ festivities once again reports The Mirror.
A source said that while the family fallout is mainly between Brooklyn and his parents, his younger siblings – including birthday girl Harper – have sadly become collateral damage.
“Harper’s been particularly affected by what’s going on because she’s always been really close to Brooklyn,” claimed the source.
“They’ve always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she’d become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers.
“But obviously that hasn’t happened and it’s potentially going to be heart breaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn’t show up for her on her birthday.”
It has been said that Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it’s not looking likely at all.
The source added: “He took a stand and missed his dad’s 50th so he’s not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that’s happened, as much as he loves Harper.”
However, if he did turn up, it could be an end to the family drama and the best birthday present Harper could ask for.
But Brooklyn’s allegiance appears to have perhaps shifted away from his family.
“He didn’t want it to turn out this way and he’s always been really close to all his siblings, but he is a married man now and his priorities have to lie somewhere else,” the source disclosed.
IGA SWIATEK has revealed that she likes to eat pasta with strawberries and cream.
Wimbledon is renowned for its famous strawberries and cream combo.
But only now are All England Club punters being introduced to pasta and strawberries.
Earlier this week, Swiatek posted a picture of her interesting dish, captioning it: “come in guyssss, this is (Poland flag) speciality.”
Following her dominant 6-2 6-3 win over Danielle Collins, Polish star Swiatek was asked more about strawberries and pasta.
Grinning, the five-time Grand Slam champion said: “Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that.”
The 24-year-old then added: “I think in summer kids are eating it a lot. I don’t know. It’s just a perfect mix of tastes, so…
“It is a Polish thing, right? We have great strawberries in Poland, as well.”
Quizzed on whether Poland has better strawberries than England, Swiatek added: “I think Poland. Because we have better climate for strawberries, right?
“Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions.

“No, the strawberries are great here, as well. They are different. But they are great, as well.”
On the subject, Swiatek concluded: “Pasta fits everything. But strawberries are the best one, I would say.”
The former world No1 had been on a collision course with ex-Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
But the Kazakh star threw in a shocking performance to lose to Clara Tauson yesterday.
On the threat that the Dane poses, Swiatek added: “Well, for sure it’s going to be challenging.
“When she plays well, she can hit great serves, amazing winners. She has great touch. She’s really talented. So for sure there’s a reason she’s in the fourth round.
“I haven’t watched her matches because I’m not watching a lot.
“For sure I’m going to prepare tomorrow and I’ll be ready. It’s going to be a challenge, for sure.”

FORMULA ONE and Lego have taken the next step in their relationship at the British Grand Prix.
As Lewis Hamilton and co battle on track, the three podium sitters at Silverstone will be presented with a set of stunning trophies made completely out of Lego Bricks.
The partnership comes as part of F1’s 75th anniversary celebrations at the iconic racetrack after it hosted the first ever F1 race in 1950.
A team of seven master builders spent a combined 210 hours meticulously designing and crafting four trophies – three for the drivers and one for the constructor – at the Lego model shop in Billund, Denmark.
Inspired by the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) trophy – handed to seven-time Hamilton after he won last year’s race at Silverstone – the new one-of-a-kind first place trophy shows off a stunning golden tint.
Standing at over 23 inches tall, the first place trophy is comprised of a staggering 2,717 Lego elements and weighs more than 2kg – while the constructors trophy shares the same characteristics.
The second and third place trophies are no less impressive a feat of Lego engineering for the first-ever version of the prize.
They also consist of 2,298 Lego elements each, both weigh in at 1.5kg and stand at over 17 inches tall.
But for Samuel Liltorp Johnson, Lego’s creative lead on the project, the trophies are the end of a “magic” journey.
Speaking exclusively to SunSport from Silverstone, Samuel reveals the project was something he had dreamed of since he was a kid – despite the project being very stressful as it only landed on his desk around Easter time.

He said: “To be honest, if I could tell my my grandad when I was a kid that this was something that I would do, he’d probably be like, ‘as if, mate’.
“But for me it was something we did together in my family when I was a kid, we watched F1.
“The process of going through this, it’s been a bit breakneck speed, to be honest, like a real F1 race.
“We found out about it not that long ago, and we’ve really wanted to give it all and what it deserves, and we’ve been working very closely with the Silverstone team.
“I think, after all of that passion from both sides, learning each other’s stories and what it means, I think that’s really made it something that’s turned out quite beautiful.”
Samuel emphasises the team wanted to create a trophy infused with the heritage and magic of F1 combined with the Lego flair.
But it was a hard ask, with a completely new process for making the Lego Bricks being implemented to ensure they met the “breakneck” deadline.
Regardless, Samuel believes the team has “made magic” and hopes fans will enjoy the fruits of their labour.
He adds: “I think it’s a dream of everyone to be here at the pinnacle of F1 on its 75th birthday…
“We talked about the RAC trophy being a very beautiful piece of sculpture, and when you try and replicate that in square bricks it’s a bit of a challenge to get it 100 per cent perfect.
“But we didn’t want it to be a copy, it should be inspired by it, so one of the things that we put on that was kind of a bit outrageous, but we wanted to be playful with it as well.
“We have one of our F1 collectable cars mounted on the front of the trophy, so there’s actually a car on the trophy and also a little Lego Brick on the top, so that’s just kind of our signature, if you like, on the item itself.”
Samuel also feels the trophies are priceless, saying: “It’s been so many hours and everything, it’s got to be priceless.
“I think the experience for me, I can’t really put a monetary value on that.
“Being at Silverstone and just seeing all this going on and knowing we’re a part of that.
“It’s been pretty crazy.”
Samuel keeps talk of any future projects under wraps but insists he does not expect the partnership to go away anytime soon.
Lego previously created a set of life-size Lego F1 cars which the drivers had a blast driving around in before the Miami Grand Prix.
CASA Amor is officially underway as the boys snog the sexy new bombshells in a game of Truth or Dare, and Harry reunites with his ex Emma.
The iconic segment of the hit dating show officially makes its return tonight – and there’s no messing around where the boys are concerned.
As they get settled into Casa, Dejon suggests spicing up the atmosphere with a game of Truth or Dare so that everyone can get to know each other on a deeper level.
This soon leads to Casa snogs, as Ben engages in a three way kiss with the bombshells of his choice – one of which is Harry’s ex, Emma.
But that’s not the only cheeky interaction that takes place, with Harrison snogging one of the bombshells he’s most attracted to.
And as the kiss lingers a little bit too long, the group tells them that they can stop.
Harry also reunites with his ex Emma as they head into Casa Amor, and confirms that the ‘E’ tattooed on his wrist is in fact for her.
Harry and Emma are reacquainted, as she tells him: “Surprise!”
The group sits down and the Islanders share what their types are. When Yaz explains that she requires emotional availability from a man, Emma whispers to Harry “well that’s you out.”
When quizzed about how strong out of 10 his relationship is with Toni, Harrison tells the new Bombshells: “Seven, could be better..”
When asked if any of the new girls have caught his eye, Tommy tells the group: “There’s definitely a few of you that tickle my fancy.”
Emma is also quick to call Harry and Helena “snakes,” after their recent villa behaviour.
Catching up with his ex, Harry says: “I don’t need you to come and tell me off.”
Emma responds: ““It’s disgraceful though… like, how are you still doing the same thing?
“The way you’ve been moving with Helena honestly… you two deserve each other… two snakes.”
Love Island 2025 OG Harry was left stunned when his ex Emma entered the compound on Friday.
Upon seeing them, Harry could be heard saying: “Oh my god, it’s my ex.”
It comes as The Sun revealed the identity of Harry’s ex-girlfriend – after fans spotted a secret tribute to her.
The Sun uncovered that the woman is named Emma, after viewers noticed Harry’s wrist tattoo of the letter “E” and began digging for clues online.
Emma previously shared a sunset selfie to Instagram, where she was seen cosying up to Harry in matching baseball caps, hers bearing an “E” and, his, an “H”.
The image, which has since been deleted, was dated 18 April 2022.
Emma also bears a striking resemblance to one of Harry’s co-stars, sparking comparisons from fans who claim she looks “more like Shakira than Helena.”
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

FANS joked that a League of Ireland mascot “should be booked for diving” after a hilarious fall at a charity race in Naas.
The LOI Mascot Race, sponsored by PFA Ireland, took place at the Kildare racecourse on Saturday.
It was run in aid of Waterford Marine Search and Rescue and the RNLI Kildare, and pitted several LOI clubs’ mascots against one another in a 200 yard dash.
Right from the start, Finn Harps mascot Harper was neck-and-neck with Benny The Bull representing Sligo Rovers.
In a momentous twist, Benny lost his footing and fell to the floor, allowing Harper to pull away and win the race for the second time after also winning it in 2019.
Fans reacted to the race by poking fun at poor Benny for the tumble.
RacingTV joked: “The Devon Loch of the mascot scene…” in reference to the horse which fell on the final straight while leading the 1956 Grand National.
A second viewer said: “Ah jaysus benny” while a third said: “Should be booked for diving”
A fourth commented: “Terrible beat for Benny The Bull backers”
Between The Stipes tweeted: “Finn Harps greatest moment since the FAI Cup win of 1974.
“Sligo Rovers fans will be hoping that wasn’t a metaphor for their season as Benny the Bull falls at the last.
“Credit to all involved, all for a worthy cause”
Benny’s unfortunate fall was one of two blows suffered by Sligo Rovers on Saturday.
John Russell’s men were made to settle for a draw with Shamrock Rovers in their Premier Division clash.
That was despite the Bit O’Red taking a 2-0 lead and having a chance to win the game right at the end.
The point leaves Sligo in the relegation play-off spot, five points ahead of bottom side Cork City.
Shamrock Rovers, meanwhile, saw their lead at the top of the league reduced to nine points.
Derry City closed the deficit with a 7-2 drubbing of Waterford at the Brandywell.
The Candystripes are in second place having played two games fewer than Stephen Bradley‘s men.
They face the Hoops two times before the end of the season.
JIMMY Carr allegedly called his father amid their longstanding feud to ask for a “favour” – before snubbing his old man when it was granted, it has been claimed.
The comedian’s bad blood with Jim Carr Snr, 80, has been widely reported, with Jimmy, 52, previously suggesting his dad was “dead to me” after their lengthy spat reached its peak.
In 2022, we also reported how Jimmy was being sued by his father for defamation.
At the time, it was claimed Jim Carr Snr was “sick and tired” of the “false characterisation” the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host presents of his dad.
Now a pal of Jimmy’s parent has claimed has claimed Jim Carr Snr was left “confused and distraught” after Jimmy allegedly reached out for help – then cut contact again.
A source told MailOnline how Jimmy is said to have asked his dad to “take on a burden.”
The source said: “It was just before Christmas in 2017 and Jimmy rang his dad to ask him for some help with a problem he had.
“He had been supporting someone close to him but just couldn’t continue doing so.
“Jim has never told me the full details preferring to keep it private but it was a big favour to ask and obviously Jimmy felt he had nowhere else to turn, given that he hadn’t spoken to his dad for that last 15 or 16-years prior to that phone call.
“He wanted Jim to take on the burden – which he duly did.
“But while Jim hoped this good deed could rekindle their relationship, Jimmy seemed to cut him off again.
“He didn’t call to thank him or anything, it was radio silence… which continues to this day.”
The Sun has gone to Jimmy’s rep for comment.
In one of the most bitter celebrity bust-ups, tensions are said to have escalated between Jimmy and Jim after the publication of the funnyman’s memoir, Before and Laughter.
Jim was said to be “sick and tired” of “false characterisation” by the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host.
At the time source told MirrorOnline Jim had taken legal action and said: “The last thing Jim wanted to do was take his own son to court, but enough is enough.
“He’s sick and tired of this false characterisation of himself that is being presented.
“Jimmy’s snide comments about his dad have been going on for years.
“The straw that broke the camel’s back was this new book and some of the things he has been saying on podcasts.”
Jimmy previously told how he cut contact with his dad following the death of his mother Nora in 2001.
He told a podcast: “I haven’t seen my dad in 21 years and you know the line, ‘My mother’s dead and my father’s dead to me’ – which sounds very cold, until you meet the guy.”
