David Beckham Praises Simon Porte Jacquemus' Grandmother at Met Gala as Romeo Makes Debut Amid Family Feud David Beckham complimented Simon Porte Jacquemus' grandmother at the Met Gala, while his son Romeo made his debut without estranged brother Brooklyn. The event highlighted the ongoing family feud, with Romeo receiving support from Cruz but no public acknowledgment from Brooklyn. David Beckham, 51, expressed admiration for Simon Porte Jacquemus' grandmother Liline, 80, after she accompanied the designer to the Met Gala on Monday. Simon, 36, who founded the Jacquemus label in 2010, shared an Instagram clip of the duo on the red carpet, both dressed in chic white Jacquemus suits. The pair traveled from France to New York for the event, and Simon captioned the post: 'I hesitated to bring you to New York… Then I imagined myself at 80. And I realised that this is the most beautiful gift: to be taken somewhere else, by the ones we love. What an honour.' David commented: 'Your grandmother is so beautiful & so elegant. ' Meanwhile, David's son Romeo made his Met Gala debut, but there was no reunion with his estranged brother Brooklyn, who skipped the event for the second year in a row. Romeo, 23, attended as a guest of Burberry, alongside supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and the brand's chief creative officer, Daniel Lee. Romeo wore a double-breasted jacket with leather lapels, paired with a matching shirt and tie.The absence of Brooklyn, who had attended solo in 2024 while his wife Nicola Peltz spent time with her ailing grandmother, fueled speculation about the ongoing family feud. Earlier this year, Brooklyn announced his disassociation from 'Brand Beckham,' accusing his family of being 'performative.' Despite the tension, Romeo received support from his brother Cruz, who shared a photo of Romeo on Instagram with the caption: 'There he is. ' The Beckham siblings later united to surprise David on his 51st birthday with a gift of chickens. Victoria Beckham shared a video of David meeting the birds at their Cotswolds estate, while Romeo and Cruz posted heartfelt tributes.Harper, 14, also wished her father a happy birthday, but Brooklyn remained silent, further highlighting the rift
