Brooklyn Beckham sported matching cowboy hats with his wife Nicola Peltz's family as they celebrated her father Nelson's 84th birthday in Florida on Wednesday.
The actress, 31, shared a gushing post on her Instagram page which included photos of the Peltz brood enjoying a birthday meal together at their family home.
One group photo included Nelson with five of his sons, Nicola and Brooklyn as they gathered around the patriarch of the family on his big day.
Brooklyn stood on the edge of the shot next to Nicola's brother Zach, while Diesel, Will, Bradley and Greg were also in attendance at the event.
The sweet family photos will likely sting Brooklyn's estranged family, who he has now not spoken to in more than a year.
Brooklyn has not acknowledged any of his parents birthdays or milestones publicly since their rift began, around the time of David's 50th celebrations.
Earlier this week it was reported that Brooklyn was 'furious' that his parents had included him in a Father's Day post and wants them to 'leave him alone'.
Nicola then appeared to take a 'swipe' at the Beckham family in a cryptic Instagram post where she shared a quote about 'forgiving yourself'.
The quote reads: 'I am in love with this sentence: "Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach".'
David had extended an olive branch to his eldest son over the weekend as he shared an old photograph of himself and Brooklyn alongside one of himself with all four of his kids.
The caption said: 'Being a dad is my most important job – I love you all and thank you mummy @victoriabeckham for giving me our beautiful family.
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads around the world'.
Victoria also included their son Brooklyn in her heartfelt Father's Day post to her husband on Sunday.
In the teaser clip for the advert released on June 15, Brooklyn smirks and says: 'You're probably wondering why I'm watching the Fifa World Cup 2026 from home...
It's a long story.'
It has been taken as mocking parents David and Victoria with whom he no longer speaks – and profiting off their name, while friends of the Beckhams have said the pair are 'devastated and inconsolable' by the jibe.
The second longer version was released on Wednesday, sparking even fiercer backlash from even the most supportive Brooklyn fans, with followers commenting in their droves under the Instagram clip.
Friends of the Beckhams were shocked to see Brooklyn's advert.
One told the Daily Mail's Katie Hind: 'To do an advert based on estrangement from family as if itâs a joke when his family is devastated and sister and grandparents inconsolable is shocking.
'Especially from someone who claims he wants peace and privacy.'
In January, Brooklyn released a scathing six-page statement (below) denouncing his parents.
He announced he had cut ties with his family – declaring he was no longer part of 'Brand Beckham' and insisting his parents and their other children are 'performative'.
Brooklyn also claimed David and Victoria had controlled him for much of his life, attempted to drive a wedge between him and Nicola and left him embarrassed when his mother danced 'inappropriately' with him during the first dance at his wedding.
Brooklyn Beckham's January statement in full
'I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.
Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
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.
For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.
The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.
But I believe the truth always comes out.
My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped.
My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.
My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.
During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands.
Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.
The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family."
Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.
My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.
In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.
I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.
We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one.
My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him.
He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.
When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited.
It was a slap in the face.
Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.
My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else.
Brand Beckham comes first.
Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.
We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.'
But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.
The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards.
I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.
I grew up with overwhelming anxiety.
For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.
I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief.
My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation.
All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.'
