David and Victoria Beckham have publicly reflected on happier times with their son Brooklyn Beckham, days after he made explosive claims about a rift within the famous family.
The couple commented on a throwback Instagram post shared on Friday by British photographer Platon, who posted two archival images of David Beckham taken in 2006.
One image shows Beckham with his back to the camera, revealing tattoos of his sons’ names — Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

“Good memories,” the former football star wrote with Victoria Beckham adding “Brings back great memories!”.
Platon’s caption described the moment the photos were taken, recalling how Victoria arrived with Brooklyn, then seven, Romeo, four, and baby Cruz, before the family shared a spontaneous group hug during the shoot.
The nostalgic post surfaced days after 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham claimed he no longer wants to reconcile with his family and accused his parents of spreading “countless lies” about his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
“My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped,” Brooklyn said.
Brooklyn and Nicola were also spotted on the shores of Malibu for the first time since he released his bitterly honest statement pledging he “does not want to reconcile” with his estranged parents.
Brooklyn, 26, and Peltz, 31, were spotted walking their rescue dog Lamb along the shores of the affluent Californian dwelling, with the married pair trading smiles as the amateur chef rested his arm on his wife’s shoulder.

Peltz — an aspiring actress — is the daughter of billionaire fund manager Nelson Peltz.
The couple married in 2022 at the Peltz’ waterfront estate in Florida, with Victoria having allegedly “hijacked my first dance with my wife”, and cancelling “Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design”.
Brooklyn said he’d been “silent for years” in the hopes of keeping family disputes private, and felt compelled to go public recently due to his parents’ “countless lies” and control of a narrative seeking to “preserve their own facade”.
David and Victoria have not directly addressed the allegations yet.
