David Beckham appeared to convey a heartfelt message to his estranged son Brooklyn this week, reflecting on the significance of "creating memories" with his children. The father of four recently embarked on a special trip to Courchevel in the French Alps with his daughter Harper, sharing a series of intimate snaps from their quality time together.
Creating Cherished Moments
During their alpine getaway, Beckham and Harper were captured in various heartwarming scenes. In one photo, the duo posed for selfies, while another showed Harper enjoying a hot chocolate to warm up. A clip from the trip featured David giggling as Harper glided down a snowy slope on her back, highlighting their playful bond.
Beckham captioned his Instagram post with a touching note: "Creating memories with the kids either together or one on one has always been important to me, so this week, Me and Harper created a few more memories. Love you pretty lady @harperbeckham." This message comes amid ongoing family tensions, particularly with his eldest son Brooklyn.
Family Celebrations and Absences
Last Friday, Victoria and David Beckham hosted a celebration at the upmarket Gymkhana in Piccadilly to mark their son Cruz's 21st birthday. However, Brooklyn was noticeably absent from the festivities. The family presented a united front as they left the exclusive London establishment, with Cruz celebrating alongside his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, who wore a T-shirt featuring images of him and his bandmates.
Despite the rift, the Beckhams beamed with delight after their feast. Victoria, 51, showcased her fashion label pieces, while Harper, 14, and David, 50, accompanied her. Romeo, 23, and his partner Kim Turnbull also appeared smitten as they exited the restaurant, according to reports from the Daily Mail.
Brooklyn's Distanced Presence
Brooklyn's absence from family events has been a point of discussion. Instead of flying home for Cruz's birthday, he co-hosted a Burger Bash event at the 2026 South Beach Wine & Food Festival in Miami Beach, Florida. This follows reports in January that Brooklyn had cut ties with the rest of the Beckham family, adding to the ongoing drama.
Heroic Act on the Slopes
During the ski trip, Beckham demonstrated his compassionate nature by assisting a woman who fell on the slopes. According to The Sun, he witnessed the incident, removed her skis, and checked her over to ensure she was unharmed. A source praised Beckham, stating, "David saw the woman hit her head and was worried about her. He was a true gentleman."
Beckham, who took up snowboarding after his retirement in 2013 to stay fit, was accompanied by a ski guide during the trip. The guide also received commendation for their response to the mishap.
Exclusive Alpine Destinations
Courchevel is known for catering to an exclusive clientele, with Prince William and Princess Kate also visiting the French destination earlier in 2026. The Beckhams have frequented the slopes over the past decade, with trips to locations like British Columbia, Island Lake Lodge near Fernie, and Whistler in Canada.
This latest trip to Courchevel is believed to be the Beckhams' first ski outing since Brooklyn's split from the family, underscoring the emotional undertones of David's message about creating lasting memories with his children.
