The couple were joined by Cruz’s brother Romeo and Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, for a joint celebration also marking the birthday of family friend Caroline Gautier, who is involved in Cruz’s music career with his band, The Breakers.

Guests reportedly included David’s close friend David Gardner and former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, among others.

The celebrations come against the backdrop of an ongoing family rift with Brooklyn Beckham, who was absent from the event.

Brooklyn, 26, recently issued a strongly worded public statement addressing his strained relationship with his parents and was instead in Miami hosting at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, where he promoted his hot sauce brand.

Despite the reported tensions, David and Victoria shared affectionate birthday tributes to Cruz on social media, praising his character and achievements as he marked the milestone.
