The one noticeable absence from Beckham's 50th celebration

The one noticeable absence from Beckham's 50th celebration

Perth Now05-05-2025
Football legend David Beckham marked his 50th birthday in style over the weekend, hosting a swanky dinner at Core by Clare Smyth in Notting Hill.
He was joined by his wife Victoria, 51, and a host of celebrity friends, including Eva Longoria, 50. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, 58, and his wife Tana Ramsay, 50, were also on the guest list for Beckham's milestone celebration.
Beckham was surrounded by his nearest and dearest, with his children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper, making it a true family affair.
The Beckham men suited up in classic ties and tailored jackets, while Victoria and Harper looked elegant in floor-length navy dresses. Sharing photos from the night, Victoria and David captioned their posts: 'Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all.'
Although one seat appeared noticeably empty.
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were absent from the evening.
The couple, who now live in the US, didn't feature in any photos from the night and made no mention of the celebration on social media.
Instead, Peltz posted a throwback tribute to her late grandmothers on Instagram, calling them her 'forever soulmates'.
Writing, 'I can't fathom the thought of not being able to hug you or hear your laugh right now — I just miss you both so much.'
Their absence did not go unnoticed, especially as it marks the latest in a series of missed family moments.
Brooklyn was also a no-show at Beckham's earlier birthday bash in Miami and appeared to skip the family's Easter celebrations, HELLO reported.
Rumours of tension began swirling earlier this year when he failed to post public tributes for Victoria's 51st birthday or Mother's Day—an uncharacteristic move for the usually sentimental eldest son.
Now, reports suggest there may be tension between Brooklyn and younger brother Romeo, allegedly sparked by Brooklyn and Nicola's disapproval of Romeo's girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull.
Speculation also surfaced that Brooklyn and Kim may have dated in the past, but younger brother Cruz quickly shut that down, replying to a comment on Instagram: 'Brooklyn and Kim never dated.'
No one in the Beckham camp has officially commented, but with social media silence and ongoing absences, fans are beginning to connect the dots.
Behind the family photos and designer fits, it seems not everything in Beckham's world is picture-perfect.

Chappell Roan is happy to be off social media

Chappell Roan feels happier without social media. The 27-year-old singer revealed earlier this year that she has deleted social media platforms from her phone to protect herself from harmful comments and believes that it will benefit her on a personal and musical level. Chappell told Vogue: "Socials harm the f*** out of me and my art. I'm not doing that to myself anymore. "I've never written an album where I don't have Instagram or anything. The album process is purely, only mine. No one on TikTok gets to see it." The Subway hitmaker's 2023 debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has become a sleeper hit over the past couple of years but Chappell warned fans that they could be waiting a long time for a follow-up record. Chappell said: "The second project doesn't exist yet. "It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five years to write the next. I'm not that type of writer than can pump it out." The Pink Pony Club artist added: "I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything. I see some comments sometimes, like, 'She's everywhere except that damn studio.' Even if I was in the studio like 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster." Roan has previously spoken of her discomfort at the recognition that comes with her musical success but currently feels as though she is in a good place as she prepares to play shows across the US later this year. The star - whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz - said: "This pace is good right now. This feels good and manageable. I feel like, for the first time in over a year. I can finally be excited about going to work and doing my job." Chappell admitted recently that criticism from trolls hurts her more than she lets on and has started to feel personal. Asked if she cared about the backlash , the Hot To Go singer said in conversation with SZA for Interview Magazine: "I didn't, until people started hating me for me and not for my art. "When it's not about my art anymore, it's like, 'They hate me because I'm Kayleigh, not because they hate the songs that I make.' That's when it changed."

Naked Gun co-stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson romance: His son approves of the new relationship

Liam Neeson's son approves of his relationship with Pamela Anderson. The 73-year-old actor and his 58-year-old Naked Gun co-star star are believed to have started dating after meeting on set. When they appeared on talk show Watch What Happens Live to promote the film on Sunday, host Andy Cohen — who was a close friend of Neeson's late wife Natasha Richardson — admitted he was a big fan of the new relationship. 'The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you,' Cohen said. 'But I do just want to say, as a very old friend of (Liam's), all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say.' Neeson then put his hand on Anderson's shoulder and she reached to squeeze it. Cohen asked Neeson's son, Daniel, who was sitting in the audience: 'Right Danny?' To which he replied: 'Yes.' On Friday, Anderson shared a series of photos of herself and Neeson on Instagram. 'The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers ... whoever ... just go and have a laugh ... it's good for you!,' she captioned the pictures. 'I'll see you there (white heart and popcorn emojis).' Daniel, 28, commented on the post with a string of emojis including hands up, fire and white hearts. Richardson's sister, Joely Richardson, also commented on the post with red heart emojis. Cohen recently admitted he was happy for Neeson over his budding romance with Anderson because he can see similarities between the former Baywatch star and Richardson, who died in a skiing accident in 2009, aged 45. Speaking on his SiriusXM radio show last week, Cohen said: 'Natasha was a dear friend of mine and I'm gonna tell you something. I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is.' 'As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, 'Liam, she is an independent woman just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys.'' Cohen insists 'this just works' as Anderson has been through a lot with her sex tape scandal and whirlwind marriage to ex-husband Tommy Lee — with whom she has sons Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27. 'She is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. What she's been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself,' the talk show host added. Neeson — who had Michael, 30, and Daniel with his late wife — previously confessed to being 'madly in love' with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her,' Neeson told PEOPLE. 'She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.'

'Wholesome goodness handmade in Balmoral': King Charles III launches luxury dog biscuits and tweed petwear in subtle challenge to Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand As Ever

King Charles is giving his estranged daughter-in-law Meghan Markle a run for her money with a line of royal dog biscuits, hand-baked in the kitchens of Balmoral Castle. The monarch, 76, announced the new product on August 1 as part of his Balmoral Pet Collection. "Hand-baked in the Balmoral Castle kitchens, these 100% natural biscuits are lovingly made in small batches using wholemeal flour, egg, and chicken stock," Balmoral Castle said in a social media post. "Each bag contains 75g of wholesome goodness your dog will love." The biscuits are part of a wider collection of luxe dog accessories, including a Balmoral tweed collar for £32 (AUD $65) , a matching lead for £40 (AUD $82), a tweed treat bag for £30 (AUD $61), and a coat of arms dog bowl priced at £28 (AUD $57). Over at Sandringham, a £45 (AUD $92) "Happy Hound" tweed dog coat has also been unveiled. Sold through the estate's gift shop, the coat's listing reads: "Stylish, machine washable and with a water layer, the Sandringham tweed dog coat is perfect for frosty winter walks." The pet collection was reportedly inspired by Charles' new canine companion, Snuff, a Lagotto Romagnolo, a rare Italian breed known for its truffle-hunting abilities. Snuff is the King's first personal pet in over two decades, following the death of his Jack Russell terrier, Tigga, in 2002 at age 18. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla also added a new member to the royal pack in May, adopting a rescue puppy named Moley from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. The late Beth, one of the Queen's beloved rescue terriers, also came from the same shelter, as did Bluebell, who still lives at Clarence House. Moley now appears to be the furry face of the new pet range, fronting the packaging of the dog biscuits, which seem to be made from recyclable material. The launch comes as Meghan Markle continues to build her own lifestyle empire under the As Ever brand, which previously teased the launch of dog treats, but has yet to release them for sale. Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, whipped up a batch of peanut butter dog cookies during her With Love, Meghan cooking series on Netflix. The treats were for her friend Delfina Blaquier's dog, Nina, as well as her own late rescue beagle, Guy, who sadly died in January. "They provide us with unconditional love, so they get unconditional peanut butter dog biscuits," Meghan said during episode four of the show. She has previously sent her homemade dog treats to the Figueras family, with Blaquier sharing a snap of the signature cursive labelling and packaging on Instagram in June. While Meghan often posts her favourite lifestyle picks on her curated 'Shop My' Instagram account, no animal-related items have yet been linked to the page, nor have any dog products appeared on the official As Ever site. Instead, her brand has so far focused on pantry-style goods and vintage wines. The latest launch, announced on her birthday on Monday, is a new vintage of her Napa Valley Rosé. "Today, our founder celebrates another year (Happy Birthday, Meghan!) and tomorrow, we're raising a glass to celebrate our newest release," read an As Ever email sent to subscribers. "We've worked thoughtfully to bring these exceptional bottles to you, and more of your other favourite As Ever products are also being restocked shortly." The wine has sold out twice since its initial debut. Other products on the site, including herbal teas, cookie and crepe mixes, flower sprinkles and fruit spreads, are currently sold out, although a new batch of raspberry spread is listed as "coming soon", with a six-jar-per-person limit.
