Bobby Brazier and his brother Freddy put their family feud aside for one night to support their father Jeff in 101 Dalmatians: The Musical on Thursday.
The brothers reunited to watch their father make his debut in the West End show at the Eventim Apollo in London.
Jeff, who plays Casper, stars alongside JLS heartthrob Aston Merrygold, who stars as his onscreen brother Jasper.
Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas stars as Cruella De Vil at London's Eventim Apollo Theatre for six-weeks only this summer.
101 Dalmatians: The Musical is now playing at the Eventim Apollo in London until August 30.
TV presenter Jeff, 46, shares Bobby, 22, and Freddy, 20, with late reality star Jade Goody.
The trio recently reunited at a family party to celebrate Jeff's mother Janette's birthday.
Freddie is currently in the midst of a legal battle with Jeff over his welfare.
It is reported Jeff, has set up a court date to stop Freddy seeing his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden, 68, amid rising concerns over his well being.
Jeff has long insisted she is a bad influence on the troubled youngster - with the pair enduring a series of very public disputes over the years.
But last month The Mail On Sunday revealed that Freddie was again spending time at Jackiey's Bermondsey flat despite his father filing court paperwork in an effort to keep his son away.
Family friends say the duo remain 'extremely close,' explaining: 'Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long - they've always had a strong bond, Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much.
'They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat - where he has often stayed over the years. Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn't worked.'
In June, Freddy announced on Instagram that he was going to a rehabilitation centre in Spain, admitting he had been addicted to smoking since he was 12 and was keen to seek treatment.
He said: 'I've been smoking from the age of 12 and it's time to stop it was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and somewhat okay.'

But days after the admission, Freddy posted again online saying he had changed his mind, writing: 'You know what I don't need rehab. I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.'
Freddy lost his mother, former Big Brother star Jade, to cervical cancer in 2009 when he was just four years old.
During his appearance on BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World, Bobby spoke on the grief he has suffered following his mother's tragic passing.
He said: 'I don't really remember being held by my mum… if I had more memories with her, it would have made it a whole lot harder for me, but I think I would rather that than not remembering the things I had done with my mum.'
Freddy admitted he 'misses the bond' he shared with older brother Bobby in a heartbreaking Instagram last month.
The Race Across The World star posted throwback videos as he reminisced about the good times he and Bobby shared during the coronavirus.
One video Freddy posted saw the Brazier brothers bashing their heads against a pumpkin on a farm.
He wrote: 'Only thing I miss about Covid is the amount of time I had with my brother to bond and make memories and have a laugh.'
In another post, Freddy and Bobby larked around in the kitchen in a video while dad Jeff cooked dinner.

Bend It Like Beckham sequel in the works, director says

The 2002 comedy-drama starred Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley, who chase careers in professional football despite their parents' wishes. Directed by Gurinder Chadha, it is credited with inspiring a generation of women to take up football. Chadha teased the sequel in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday (July 26), where England are set to take on Spain in the final of the Women's Euros on Sunday (July 27). A sequel to 'BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM' is in the works. (Source: Deadline) She has earmarked 2027 for the next instalment, to mark both the film's 25th anniversary and the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, BBC News reports. Chadha said she was still unsure what form the sequel might take, but suggested it could either be another film or a television series. Discussing with Deadline about the sequel, Chadha shared: "I'm excited to revisit the original characters and revive the enduring story and build on the legacy we helped to create for the women's game." The original cast members 'are aware that a sequel is being developed, but they obviously want to see a script before they commit". 'I'm pretty certain that everyone's going to want to come back,' she adds hopefully. She added: 'Everything hinges on the script and if the original cast likes it. 'I am working really hard to make sure every character I bring back has a decent arc and scenes.' Alongside that, there is the hope that members of the current England squad would be "queuing up" to take on cameo roles. Although the environment around women's football has changed significantly since the film's release, Chadha says there is still some work to be done.
