Harper Beckham is reportedly heading into her 15th birthday with one family wish still unresolved: seeing her oldest brother, Brooklyn Beckham.
The Sun reported that Harper is said to be “devastated” that Brooklyn is not expected to be part of her birthday celebration next week amid his ongoing estrangement from David and Victoria Beckham’s side of the family.
The Daily Mail framed the situation around the one birthday present Harper reportedly wants most: a visit from Brooklyn.
The Sun reported that Harper and Brooklyn were once close and have “never had a cross word” themselves, making his distance from the wider family especially painful for his youngest sister.

Harper turns 15 on July 10, and that fact is making the family rift harder to ignore. The Sun reported that David and Victoria are expected to celebrate their daughter’s birthday, but Brooklyn is not expected to be there.
A source told the outlet that Harper is “heartbroken and devastated” by Brooklyn’s distance. The same report said she is struggling to understand why she appears caught in the middle of tension involving the adults around her.
The Sun reported that Harper and Brooklyn had a close sibling relationship before the current feud deepened. PEOPLE also reported last year that a source said Brooklyn had “always had a special bond with Harper” and loved her dearly.
Brooklyn publicly acknowledged Harper’s birthday last year. PEOPLE reported that Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham wished Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram in July 2025, with Brooklyn writing, “Happy birthday harper we love u x.”

The birthday story follows Harper’s reported attempt to reach Brooklyn in person. The Sun reported that she was seen arriving at his Beverly Hills home last month with a letter while she was in the U.S. for David Beckham’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
Page Six reported that Harper arrived unannounced and left without seeing Brooklyn. The Sun said Brooklyn was not home at the time and later confirmed through an Instagram post that he was in New York.
The Sun reported that representatives for Brooklyn and Nicola described the move as “choreographed” for attention, while the Beckham side denied that claim.

The family tension grew again after Nicola praised her new sister-in-law Kenya Kinski-Jones, who recently married her brother Will Peltz.
Page Six reported that Nicola called Kenya her “dream sister,” a phrase some readers interpreted as a dig at Harper.
The same Page Six report said the feud has extended beyond David and Victoria to Brooklyn’s younger siblings, including Harper, Romeo and Cruz.
The Beckham Feud Has Been Building for Months
PEOPLE reported that the family tension has roots dating back to Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding, with later public statements and missed family events deepening the rift.
PEOPLE also reported that David and Victoria have repeatedly tried to mend the relationship with Brooklyn and Nicola. A source told the outlet that David loves his children and that they are “his everything.”
