David Beckham’s star-studded 50th birthday party in London was reportedly shut down after a visit by the council over noise complaints.
The football legend threw a lavish dinner and drinks at the three Michelin-star restaurant Core in Kensington on Saturday night, attended by the likes of Tom Cruise, Ana de Armas, Eva Longoria, Gordon Ramsay, Guy Ritchie, and Gary Neville.
Victoria Beckham and her and David’s children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, were also at the milestone festivities - although their eldest child Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz failed to make an appearance amid rumours of a family feud.
The celebrations reportedly lasted well into the early hours of the morning, prompting complaints from disgruntled neighbours, according to The Sun.
Two Kensington and Chelsea council officers arrived at the restaurant at 3.35am and “gave advice to minimise disruption”.
An onlooker said: “David’s party really went off and the longer time went on, the louder the music seemed to get.”
The insider added: “Some neighbours weren’t very happy when it was still so loud at 2am and leaned out windows to see where the racket was from.
“Whatever the council said worked because the music stopped immediately.”
The Standard has contacted representatives of the Beckhams.
A spokesperson for Kensington and Chelsea council said: “We have a very responsive and professional team who investigate noise complaints and take action where necessary. Usually, and in this case, that means issuing some advice at a location, so disruption is kept to a minimum for residents living nearby."
The famous clan were treated to a custom menu from chef Clare Smyth and guests could enjoy vegan Bavarian lager Noem Beer.
After dinner, Cruz sang Dolly Parton’s hit Islands in the Stream and Romeo gave a heartfelt speech to his father.
A source said David and Victoria were “upset” that Brooklyn wasn’t with them but everyone “had an amazing time”.
Brooklyn missed the lavish celebrations despite spending the week in London, flying back to the US late on Saturday evening.
Tensions reportedly escalated after Brooklyn and Romeo, 22, stopped speaking, following Romeo's relationship with Kim Turnbull - who previously dated Brooklyn's friend Rocco Ritchie.
Brooklyn is said to be suspicious of Kim’s reasons for dating Romeo, marking the beginning of the fallout that led to Brooklyn and Nicola skipping his father's milestone celebrations.
Celebrity news website TMZ reports that Romeo and Nicola now refuse to attend any family event where Kim is present.
It comes after Brooklyn’s absence from Victoria’s birthday last month, when he and wife Nicola were seen partying at the Coachella music festival.
Similarly, neither David nor Victoria posted congratulations online as Brooklyn and Nicola marked their third wedding anniversary.
Despite the tension, the source said there has been “some contact”, and both Brooklyn and Nicola were invited to David’s London birthday party — although they did not respond.
David and Victoria reportedly hired a £40 million Brigadier Global 6000 private jet for his birthday celebrations on Friday, spending the afternoon wine tasting at a vineyard in Bordeaux before dining at his favourite restaurant in Paris. The family later returned to London for a lavish birthday party yesterday.
According to the Mail, the 50th birthday is just the latest of at least 11 family occasions Brooklyn is said to have missed.
