On January 25, 2026, David Beckham took to Instagram to share his joy after Manchester United defeated Arsenal 3-2.

Beckham celebrated the occasion with a playful remark directed at Romeo, who is known for his loyalty to Arsenal.
In the context of family tensions, Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, made headlines last week. He posted a six-page statement on Instagram that included criticism of his parents.

Reports indicate there is currently no contact between Brooklyn and his parents.
Family Dynamics Amidst Rivalry
Despite the tension with Brooklyn, David maintains a positive relationship with his younger son, Romeo. At 23, Romeo is actively pursuing a career in football after spending time in the Arsenal youth academy and currently playing for Inter Miami’s affiliate, Brentford B.
