Victoria and David Beckham decided to revisit the beginning of their love story. During their summer holiday in Italy, the couple returned to Portofino — the very place they had visited together 29 years ago, when their relationship was still a secret.

According to the football star, in 1997 the couple tried to escape the intense attention of the press and spent 48 short but incredibly meaningful hours in Portofino.

Now, almost three decades later, 52-year-old Victoria and 51-year-old David returned to the very same hotel where, in many ways, their relationship began.

The couple dedicated one evening entirely to each other, enjoying a romantic dinner and a stroll through the picturesque resort town.

«29 years ago, we came to Portofino, to this hotel, before anyone knew we were dating. And now we are back here again», David wrote on social media, sharing photos with his wife.

For their date, Victoria chose a black, semi-sheer lace maxi dress with a V-neckline and floral appliqué.

«Back in Portofino, where it all began in 1997. I love you», the designer wrote on Instagram.

Despite the romantic getaway, the couple were joined on their Italian holiday by their children: 21-year-old Cruz, 23-year-old Romeo and 15-year-old Harper. Cruz’s 30-year-old girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, also joined the family.

The couple, considered one of the most enduring and stylish in the world of show business, recently celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary.

Romeo Beckham, the 23-year-old son of legendary footballer David Beckham and designer Victoria Beckham, has made his debut in the fashion industry. The heir to the famous family unveiled his own clothing label, «Intra».

Almost the entire Beckham family attended the presentation of his first collection in London, including his parents, his younger brother Cruz Beckham, and their partners – singer Jackie Apostel and model and DJ Kim Turnbull. The only notable absence was his older brother Brooklyn Beckham, who appears to have distanced himself from the family.

In photos shared on Instagram by former Spice Girls member and designer Victoria Beckham, the entire family can be seen posing in sporty jackets from the new «Intra» collection.

Judging by the first images, the brand’s debut line draws strong inspiration from football culture and aesthetics. The collection is dominated by windbreakers and retro-style sportswear.

For the Beckham family, this is far from the first time their children have ventured into independent business projects. Several years ago, Brooklyn launched his own sauce brand, Cruz chose to pursue a career in music, while the youngest child, 14-year-old Harper Beckham, is also reportedly planning a future in the beauty industry and is already working on her own cosmetics projects.

In the family of David and Victoria Beckham – one of the most famous couples in the global entertainment industry – a prolonged conflict is ongoing. According to British media, their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, has set a strict condition: from now on, his parents may communicate with him exclusively through lawyers.

Sources report that David Beckham was informed that the only acceptable channel of communication is the law firm Schillings.

«No other form of contact is permitted», a source told the press.

Insiders link this decision to Brooklyn’s reaction to unofficial media «briefings» discussing his wife, actress Nicola Peltz. The reports claimed that Nicola «controls» her husband, who is supposedly «held hostage» in the relationship.

Neither Brooklyn’s representatives nor David Beckham’s team have publicly commented on these reports.

Despite the tense relationship with his parents, Brooklyn is said to maintain contact with his grandparents – speaking with them by phone and private messages.

According to sources, the roots of the family conflict trace back to April 2022, at the wedding of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz in Palm Beach, Florida. What was intended as a unifying event unexpectedly became the starting point of prolonged tensions within the family. Early rumors revolved around friction between Nicola and Victoria Beckham – particularly the bride’s decision not to wear a Victoria Beckham wedding dress, despite prior arrangements.

The situation reportedly worsened during the celebrations. Victoria allegedly drew the guests’ attention during a dance meant to be a special moment for Brooklyn and Nicola – a gift from Marc Anthony. After that, Brooklyn’s relationship with his parents reportedly began to deteriorate rapidly.

The conflict escalated further in May 2025, when Brooklyn and Nicola ignored David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration – a gesture many interpreted as a clear sign of estrangement. The rift also became visible on social media: David and Victoria no longer follow Brooklyn on Instagram, and he, in turn, unfollowed not only his parents but also his brothers Cruz and Romeo. Nicola also does not follow David or Victoria, and there are no mutual follows.

Against this backdrop, Brooklyn’s younger brother, Cruz Beckham, publicly responded to the situation, refuting rumors that the parents had initiated the unfollows. In his Instagram Stories, he wrote: «Not true. My mom and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s stick to the facts. They woke up and saw they were blocked… just like me». At the same time, Cruz indicated that he still hopes for reconciliation within the family.

Sources say that David and Victoria have repeatedly tried to establish dialogue. A family insider told People: «David and Victoria have asked Brooklyn and Nicola several times to meet and have a calm conversation to leave the conflict behind. David loves his children very much – they mean everything to him». However, according to the sources, Brooklyn himself is not yet ready to reach out; he currently prefers to keep his distance and focus on a peaceful life with Nicola, free from unnecessary drama.

Brooklyn, the 25-year-old eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham, has launched his own brand of sauces, Cloud23. The event took place at Whole Foods in London.

His parents, wife Nicola, brother Romeo, grandmother, and friends all came to support the star heir.

«Thank you to everyone who came to support me. I love you all. You can buy my sauces in supermarkets. I put my heart into this and I really want you to try them», — Brooklyn wrote on his Instagram.

Victoria and David expressed their immense pride in their son’s venture.

«So proud of you! I’m obsessed with this hot sauce!» — wrote the designer.

«Proud of you, mate», — added the footballer.

As a reminder, a few years ago, Brooklyn Beckham was actively engaged in fashion photography and even published in glossy magazines. However, over time, he decided to pursue a career in the culinary world. He became a chef, hosted a cooking show, and is now trying his hand at the food business.
