Back in May, Davidcelebrated his 50th birthdaywith astar-studded celebrationin London. Victoria, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, all attended, but Nicola and Brooklyn were absent, despite receiving an invite to the event.
A source told PEOPLE shortly after that Brooklyn and Nicolaopted to skip the eventbecause of Romeo's girlfriend,Kim Turnball, whom the insider claimed was once linked to Brooklyn. However, Cruz replied to a commenter on an Instagram post at the time saying that "Brooklyn and Kim never dated," which was something another source also claimed to PEOPLE, and Turnball similarlydenied the rumors herself.
The Beckhams' tension has played out in the public eye in recent months, with members of the familysharing cryptic posts on social media.
Brooklyn shared a video of himself and Nicola riding a motorcycle, captioned with a loving tribute in which he said he would "always choose" her, in May, and just hours later, Cruz shared a family photo on his own account, writing, "I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what. I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives."

A source told PEOPLE earlier this year that mending the Beckham family rift hasn't been easy. "Every time they finally have a happy moment,it all falls apart again," the insider explained. "They've tried to make peace."
"Brooklyn feels torn. It's his family and blood, but he's always had a complicated relationship with his dad. A lot of their relationship has felt like 'business,' " the source added.
Still, despite the rift, a source told PEOPLE that the Beckham family's strained relationship doesn't have to be permanent.
"The relationship is definitely not beyond repair," the insider said, adding of David and Victoria's relationship with Brooklyn, "They love and are always there for him."
"They're just hurt and disappointed that he's now playing no part in family life," the source continued.
