Brooklyn Beckham has shared a gushing birthday post about his billionaire father-in-law Nelson Peltz after snubbing his own dad David’s big day.
The wannabe chef, 26, along with wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have been engulfed in the escalating rift, with parents David and Victoria believed to be concerned about the influence the billionaire heiress has over their eldest son.
David and Victoria have reportedly become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son after he failed to attend any of the football ace’s 50th birthday celebrations last month.
This is in stark contrast to a post Brooklyn shared on Tuesday for his father-in-law Nelson.
‘Happy birthday Nelson x We love you,’ Brooklyn wrote on a picture of himself and Nicola with the billionaire Wendy’s board member.

Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother’s birthday last month, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her.
Neither the former photographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages.
And as well as snubbing dad David’s birthday online, he also was notably absent from all of his 50th birthday celebrations – including a boys’ fishing trip.
Despite flying to London at the time, Brooklyn and Nicola also didn’t attend the big family party at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core.
Last month, there was further proof of the irreparable nature of the rift when Brooklyn and Nicola jetted to the capital from their home in Los Angeles for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler.
It took place less than two miles away from the Beckham family home in Holland Park, west London.
Brooklyn didn’t even tell David and Victoria they were in the country – let alone meet with them.
Brooklyn reportedly ‘told his famous family that he wants no contact’ with them earlier this month in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud.

While a source close to Brooklyn denied the claims, a source told Page Six: ‘Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he’s not responding to those that try to connect.’
According to the publication, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David’s knighthood being announced last week and only learned of the news in the media alongside the rest of the world.
Denying he’d asked for no contact, a source close to Brooklyn told the publication: ‘Everyone’s focus should be David Beckham’s great honour’.
Meanwhile a source close to Brooklyn also denied the claims as they told MailOnline, ‘this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn’s father.’
MailOnline contacted David’s reps for comment at the time.

Last month, MailOnline revealed that tensions in the family have grown so bitter that Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz was going out of his way to avoid his estranged brother.
He has taken to contacting the family’s favourite hangouts ahead of any visits to confirm that he won’t cross paths with his sibling.
Cruz is said to have sent messages to the owners of their haunts specifically asking questions such as, ‘Is Brooklyn there?’, to make sure the coast was clear.
And he even follows that up with a request to ‘let him know’ if his brother later turned up, sources say.
