Victoria Beckham hugs supportive son Romeo, 22, and daughter Harper, 15, at her pop-up fragrance launch in NYC - as Brooklyn continues to snub family celebrations

Victoria Beckham was supported by her entire family at her pop-up fragrance launch in New York City on Friday - but Brooklyn was still nowhere to be seen.

The Beckham clan have been out in full force over the last few weeks as they followed England in the World Cup over in the states.

Despite living across the pond, Brooklyn has avoided all family outings amid their ongoing estrangement. 

Victoria looked every inch the proud mother as she celebrated a special pop-up for her fragrance Portofino ‘97 with her family at Caffe Paradiso. 

Posh Spice, 52, shared a sweet embrace with her son Romeo, 22, and daughter Harper, 15, before capturing a family snap with David, 51, Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

Cruz, 21, and Jackie, 30, looked more than loved-up as they continue to fuel engagement rumours. 

Victoria cut a chic figure in a black sleeveless dress as she took a seat at the cafe with David and son Romeo.

David cut his usual dapper figure in a navy suit as he sipped on an iced coffee while Romeo dressed casual in a white T-shirt and a backwards red baseball cap. 

The Beckham family looked in good spirits as they enjoyed coffee and baked goods on a private outdoor table at the cafe with friends.

Victoria will be missing Mel C's wedding to Chris Dingwall this weekend in the Lake District as she will be remaining in the US with David for the World Cup final.

On Wednesday, David looked heartbroken as Argentina knocked England out of the World Cup tournament at Atlanta Stadium in Georgia.

Cruz leant into his father as they shared the affectionate moment after Argentina scored the winning goal in the closing moments of the game.

Viewers watching from home caught the exchange, with one saying: 'Beckham near to tears and being consoled by Cruz was the sweetest thing I've ever seen'.

Another person commented: 'That hug between David and Cruz Beckham was wholesome'.

Brooklyn has not acknowledged any of his parents' birthdays or milestones publicly since their rift began, around the time of David's 50th celebrations, and failed to share a post for Father's Day this year.

Last month, it was reported that Brooklyn was 'furious' that his parents had included him in a Father's Day post and wants them to 'leave him alone'.

Shortly before Christmas last year, Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram, while his lawyers later wrote to the Beckhams' team requesting all communication be conducted through legal representatives. 

The Daily Mail contacted Brooklyn's representatives for comment at the time.

Earlier this year, Brooklyn was accused of selling his family out for a big sum following the release of his two-part DoorDash commercial. 

Five months after declaring that he and his wife Nicola want privacy, Brooklyn was savaged by fans, who branded him 'classless' after he collaborated with the food delivery firm for the sponsored video.

It was reported that Brooklyn was paid a hefty figure for the ad, with a source saying: 'Anything that makes him money is good – it shows that his brand is there and flourishing.'

It's thought that he was paid 'at least $1million (£755,000)' for the campaign.

However, the Beckham clan were reportedly less impressed with the advert, with an insider telling Page Six: 'Brooklyn claims he wants peace and privacy and nothing to do with his family – now he's trying to cash in on it all.'

In the teaser clip for the advert released on June 15, Brooklyn smirks and says: 'You're probably wondering why I'm watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home... It's a long story.'

It has been taken as mocking parents David and Victoria with whom he no longer speaks – and profiting off their name, while friends of the Beckhams have said the pair are 'devastated and inconsolable' by the jibe.

The second longer version was released on Wednesday, sparking even fiercer backlash from even the most supportive Brooklyn fans, with followers commenting in their droves under the Instagram clip.  

Friends of the Beckhams were shocked to see Brooklyn's advert.

One told the Daily Mail's Katie Hind: 'To do an advert based on estrangement from family as if it’s a joke when his family is devastated and sister and grandparents inconsolable is shocking. Especially from someone who claims he wants peace and privacy.'

In January, Brooklyn released a scathing six-page statement (below) denouncing his parents.

He announced he had cut ties with his family – declaring he was no longer part of 'Brand Beckham' and insisting his parents and their other children are 'performative'.

Brooklyn also claimed David and Victoria had controlled him for much of his life, attempted to drive a wedge between him and Nicola and left him embarrassed when his mother danced 'inappropriately' with him during the first dance at his wedding.
