Victoria and David Beckham are fondly recalling a heartwarming family visit from 2006 amid reports of tension with their son Brooklyn. Photographer Platon Antoniou shared throwback photos from a Madrid shoot, highlighting a private family hug that stayed off-camera. The Beckhams commented sweetly on the post, evoking nostalgia during a rocky family period.
Oh, the Beckhams—always serving up that mix of glamour and drama! 😍 On January 22, photographer Platon Antoniou dropped an Instagram carousel of snaps from a 2006 photo shoot with David Beckham in Madrid, Spain. But the real tea? His caption spilled on a spontaneous family moment that had everyone melting.
Picture this: Victoria rolls up to the set with little Brooklyn (just seven), rambunctious Romeo (four), and baby Cruz in tow. The boys, decked out in football kits, storm the studio like mini pros—kicking balls, nailing headers, total chaos in the best way. While Vic wrangles the kiddos, Platon gets to work snapping David, the 50-year-old soccer icon.
Then, cue the cuteness overload: Brooklyn dashes over with his ball tucked under his arm and latches onto Dad's right leg for a hug. Romeo piles on, and Victoria joins with Cruz in her arms. The whole fam turns away for a private, heartfelt group embrace—right there on a massive set buzzing with 60 people. Platon calls it 'poignant,' noting how celebrity life hits family hard.
Respecting the vibe, he skipped snapping it. Later, he asked Victoria if they could recreate the hug. Her response? Pure class: 'Thank you for not taking that picture earlier. Today, I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m here as a mother. I hope you don’t mind if I respectfully pass.' Platon praised her 'dignified and sincere' reply.
Fast-forward to now: Victoria commented, 'Brings back great memories! ❤️' David chimed in with 'Good memories ❤️ @platon.' But timing is everything—this nostalgia hits amid family friction. Last week, Brooklyn posted a statement confirming long-rumored tensions with his parents and wife Nicola Peltz. Oof, talk about bittersweet. 👀 So, can a hug from the past mend the present mess?
