The statement also included a specific complaint about Victoria's dancing "inappropriately" during the wedding first dance, according to the source.
The 50th birthday snub and an Instagram block
The rift deepened last May when Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed David's 50th birthday celebrations. Days before Christmas, Brooklyn blocked his parents on Instagram, a move a source told The Sun would be a "very public humiliation" for David, who lives in Hollywood. The source added that David had offered an olive branch, hopeful for reconciliation.
Less than five miles: the star and the mansion
David's upcoming Hollywood Walk of Fame star will be located less than five miles from Brooklyn's Beverly Hills mansion, according to the report. The ceremony is expected to include Victoria and the couple's three youngest children. The geographic proximity underscores the emotional distance between father and son, as the family remains publicly divided.
Victoria's business and the weight of "Sir"
Victoria Beckham commented on parenting adult children, noting that it is very different from having little children, and that people buy her products for quality, not her name.
