Victoria Beckham awoke to yet another painful reminder of her ongoing estrangement from eldest son Brooklyn on Sunday as Britain celebrated Mother’s Day.
While children across the United Kingdom lavished hard-working mums with cards, gifts and kind words, US based Brooklyn was busy paying tribute to another special woman – his mother-in-law – in another brutal swipe.
The cooking influencer was on hand to celebrate former fashion model Claudia Heffner Peltz’ 71st birthday alongside actress wife Nicola on Saturday evening, and wasted no time in sharing a tribute on social media.
Taking to Instagram, Brooklyn, 27, shared a photo of himself alongside Claudia and Nicola, just hours before the advent of Britain’s Mothering Sunday.
Captioning the post, he wrote: ‘Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law. Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day.’ Claudia’s birthday fell on March 12.
It seemed a particularly deliberate move considering most in the UK celebrating Mother’s Day would wake up to the post and Claudia’s birthday was three days ago.

Meanwhile snaps posted by Nicola, 31, showed the pair celebrating with Claudia Heffner Peltz for her big day.
In a tribute, Nicola penned: ‘Happy Birthday to my mom! The pure fact that i get to call you mom makes me truly, the luckiest ever.
‘I’m so happy I got to spend your special day with you. I love celebrating you – your light is so bright you make everything better in this world.
‘I love you more than you will ever understand. i hope all your dreams and wishes come true!’
It came as David shared a gushing tribute to Victoria on Mother’s Day morning and shared a throwback picture of her while she was pregnant.
He penned in the post: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the most amazing mummy….. You are an inspiration in all the ways a mum should be to our 4 amazing children…
‘We love you so much and I’m so thankful for the family we have created. Have a special Mother’s Day because if there’s one person that deserves it it’s you. I love you @victoriabeckham.’
Both Victoria and David then shared other posts to their mums Jackie and Sandra to celebrate the day.

It read: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the best mum ever. Thank you for being there for me, supporting me and putting up with me even on my worst days. I don’t say it enough but I am really grateful for everything you do for me every single day.
‘I love you so much and I hope you have the best day because you deserve it.’
Brooklyn has yet to post to mark Mother’s Day amid the feud.
He has grown close with Nicola’s parents and spent last Christmas celebrating with them, including her brother Bradley.
It comes after he is said to have been ‘disheartened’ that his parents publicly wished him a happy birthday and broke their communication agreement.
The eldest son of Victoria and David turned 27 earlier this month and blasted the ‘performative posts’ which included loving messages, according to reports.
An insider told ET that Brooklyn wants to put an end to any attempt from his parents to contact him, including on social media, following their bitter falling out.
Victoria, 51, David, 50, and his brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, all shared heartfelt posts honouring Brooklyn’s birthday, but they were apparently unappreciated.
A source told the publication: ‘Brooklyn and Nicola are disheartened they chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday.
‘These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail.
‘Last summer they issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers.’
Brooklyn spent the day with Nicola who shared a video of her husband blowing out his candles on a box of doughnuts.
The aspiring chef only took to Instagram during the day to thank his wife for her gushing social media post, brushing aside his family’s olive branch.
David also shared a throwback snap of Victoria and her mother Jackie and called her an ‘amazing mum’

He was given another opportunity to reconnect with his estranged family after his parents attempted to build bridges by sharing a series of birthday tributes.
But while he failed to acknowledge their nostalgic throwback photos, birthday messages and repeated use of his affectionate nickname – Buster – he wasted no time in responding to Nicola.
The most recent reports suggest Brooklyn is on speaking terms with his grandfather Ted and his wife Hilary, even though he remains estranged from his parents. He’s reportedly been in regular contact with them.
Now based in the United States with his wife, Brooklyn recently outlined his desire to distance himself from his family in a six-page Instagram statement filled with lurid allegations.
Addressing social media followers in January, he claimed his parents had tried to sabotage his marriage and have always prioritised public branding over their family relationships.
‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,’ he wrote.
‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.’
He added: ‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’
