BROOKLYN Beckham shared an emotional birthday message to his wife Nicola Peltz amid the legal row with his parents.
The Sun revealed yesterday that the aspiring chef sent parents David and Victoria a legal notice warning they can now contact him only via lawyers.
The extraordinary “desist” letter also instructs them not to “tag” him on social media.
Despite the ongoing feud, Brooklyn took some time out of his day to post a gushing tribute message to his wife.
To celebrate her 31st birthday, Brooklyn shared a black and white photo from their vow renewal, which took place last August at Nicola’s family estate in Westchester, NY.
The photo showed them sweetly embracing with Nicola wearing her mum Claudia’s repurposed dress that she wore to her wedding in 1985.

Brooklyn wrote: “My dear Nicola x happy birthday beautiful girl.
“I love you with all my heart and I am the luckiest man to call you my wife.
“You are the funniest and most hard working person I know.
“Can’t wait to stay young with you baby girl xx”
Although Brooklyn has switched off the comments on the post, it has been liked by over 30,000 people.
Just yesterday, it was revealed that Brooklyn is only in contact with his parents via the lawyers.
A breach of the legal letter was the reason why Brooklyn Beckham blocked his parents online after mum Victoria “liked” a roast chicken video he shared.
Posh’s positive response to his poultry recipe on Instagram then led to a fall-out last month, with youngest son Cruz, 20, posting: “They (my parents) woke up blocked . . . so did I.”
However, we revealed the blocking followed weeks of frustration from Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, who believe their requests for private reconciliation were ignored.
‘Heart-breaking tale’
Transformers star Nicola has also now blocked the Beckhams.
Brooklyn’s grandparents and wider family, though, have not been blocked and regularly comment on his posts, which he is happy with.
A source said: “Truly, people do not know the full facts of this heart-breaking tale, and think Brooklyn was just being truculent when he blocked his parents.
“The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately not publicly.
“He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately.
“For their part, David and Victoria have simply tried to let their beloved eldest son know the door is always open, and that they still care.
“After this letter, they had no other physical means of reaching out to him so what were they to do?
“They of course feel utterly bemused and devastated by this latest turn of events. There is no malice from their part, only concern.
“But it is clear, if there is going to be any reconciliation, it will be away from prying eyes and must be done privately.
“That’s all anyone wants but, alas, seems a long, long way off given they are only now communicating through lawyers.”
Last month, Brooklyn took to Instagram to demonstrate his chicken-in-beer recipe, prompting a “like” from Victoria.
Within 48 hours, he had blocked his immediate family.
However, last year, Romeo, 23, and Cruz blocked their older brother on Instagram, before unblocking him some time after.
This, Brooklyn’s friends feel, was therefore the “first social media act of war”.
The Beckhams’ feud with Brooklyn and Nicola dates back almost four years, and has reached rock bottom.
Pals of the US-based pair claim it started after his brother, former Burberry model Romeo, began dating Brooklyn’s ex Kim Turnbull.
But the Beckhams lay the fault squarely at the feet of Nicola, accusing her of being “difficult”, and deny a romantic relationship between Kim and Brooklyn.
This criticism has understandably hurt the actress, whose tycoon dad, Nelson, is worth more than £3billion.
She believes the relationship with her future in-laws became untenable in the months leading up to her 2022 wedding.
She gave an interview to Variety magazine confirming Posh had reneged on an offer to design her gown, meaning she wore a bespoke Valentino dress instead.
Victoria was also devastated to have been accused of hijacking the wedding day itself after singer Marc Anthony — whom the Beckhams had booked — described the mum of four, not bride Nicola, as the “most beautiful woman in the room”.
Both Brooklyn and Nicola are said to have cried on their wedding day, and relations between the two families have not been the same since.
Despite a brief detente — Nicola supported the designer’s fashion show in Paris while Posh attended the red-carpet premiere of her movie Lola — things have since deteriorated.
They have not spoken in 13 months, with the most recent public fall-out occurring ahead of the ex-England captain’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last May.
Neither Brooklyn nor Nicola attended any of his week of events.
