David Beckham's intimate 50th birthday plans revealed amid tense family feud

's 50th birthday plans with his family are being finalised amid a feud among his sons which is threatening their previously tight family bond. The former England and star will turn 50 on May 2 and the footballer is planning a series of events and an 'intimate' birthday party during a month of celebrations.

Becks has already kicked-off proceedings with a star-studded bash in Miami at the end of March, which was packed with celebrity guests including , Jack Whitehall and Victoria Beckham's fellow Spice Girl, Mel B.

This warm-up to the main event of David's birthday was held at exclusive Italian restaurant Cipriani and is a precursor to more intimate celebrations in Europe with more friends and family.

A source told about David's plans: "What he actually really loves, and wants more than anything, is some quiet time with Victoria and their kids away from it all – that’s the thing he's looking forward to most."

It is believed that David's 50th plans will follow in the footsteps of Victoria's 50th last year, during which she enjoyed a party at London's exclusive private members' club Oswold's before the family jetted to the south of France. The source continued to say that plans for David's celebrations are being kept as a "surprise" from him.

The source added: "It will be very isolated, well away from the big showbiz places they might usually be seen at – just them and the kids miles away from it all having some great food and drink together. They're the private moments he really cherishes – they're hard to find when you're as recognisable as a family as they are.'

While David is hoping for a family celebration, it is looking increasingly unlikely that the fall out between siblings Brooklyn and Romeo will remain unresolved, leaving many to assume the eldest son of David and Victoria, will be absent from the celebration.

The rift is believed to be centred around Romeo's girlfriend , who reportedly dated Brooklyn nearly nine years ago. According to media outlets across the pond, Brooklyn and Nicola allegedly believe Kim does not have the right intentions when it comes to dating Romeo. However, Victoria is said to adore Kim and Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

And this is why the couple who tied the knot in lavish ceremony in 2022, have been noticeably absent from family gatherings and David's landmark birthday may be another family occasion to add to the list.

Adding insult to injury, neither Brooklyn or Nicola publicly wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday last Thursday, which is highly unusual when compared to previous years.

Instead, only and Cruz took to social media to wish their mum a happy day. According to those close to the family, David is said to be left upset over the strained relationship among his sons.

They added: "Family is everything to him. He is a working class boy who grew up with strong connections to his grandparents and parents, and he loves nothing more than to see his boys, and Harper, being so close. While the location will be perfect and stunning, what he wants most is for his family to be around him, happily getting along.
