Harper Beckham has praised her brother Romeo as her “role model”.

The 15-year-old star, whose parents are David and Victoria Beckham, has paid tribute to her older brother to mark his 24th birthday on Tuesday (01.09.26) with a sweet social media post.

She wrote on Instagram: “Today is all about celebrating you, and I hope you know how loved and appreciated you are.

“You’ll always be one of the biggest role models in my life, and I’ll forever look up to you and everything you are.

“I’m so lucky to have you as my brother, and I genuinely don’t know what I’d do without you.

“Thank you for always being someone I can look up to and be proud of. I hope this year brings you so much happiness, love, and everything you’ve been wishing for, because you truly deserve it all.”

Harper is close to brothers Romeo and Cruz, 21, but it was previously reported an attempt to reconnect with Brooklyn, 27, was rebuffed.

Harper is said to have remained close to Brooklyn, 27, before he announced he wanted to become estranged from his family, but it’s believed she has not spoken to him since the dispute escalated last year.

According to the Daily Mail, a source said: “Harper is heartbroken and devastated at her brother’s decision not to speak to her and now her birthday is just days away it becomes a difficult scenario once again.

“They were so close. Now he won’t speak to her and she can’t understand why. There is nothing worse for Harper than him ignoring her on her birthday.

“All she wants is to have a relationship with her big brother. It is so horrifying and awful for David and Victoria to see.”

The source added: “Of course, everyone else in the family shows Harper so much love. But for the second year running it’s likely there will be nothing from Brooklyn. It’s not her fault that he is estranged. They’ve never had a cross word.”

The Beckham family tensions have continued to dominate headlines since Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, distanced themselves from David, Victoria and the wider Beckham family in the lead-up to David’s 50th birthday celebrations in 2025.

Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend any of the celebrations, with the situation later escalating after Brooklyn published a lengthy social media statement in January.

In it, he wrote: “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.”

He added: “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”

Brooklyn also alleged: “My parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.”

Last year, Brooklyn and Nicola publicly marked Harper’s birthday by sharing the same photograph of the three of them on Instagram.

It is understood, however, Harper has not spoken to Brooklyn since before the family dispute intensified in April 2025.
