The two stars left comments under British photographer Platon\u2019s latest Instagram post, which contained two throwback photos of David from 2006 alongside a caption that ultimately shared support for Victoria and David as their family feud is pushed further into the spotlight.<\/p>\n
The first photo shows David topless with his back to the camera as he showed off his tattoos of his son\u2019s names: Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn \u2014 the latter inked in large print on his lower back.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood memories,\u201d the former soccer star wrote under the post. \u201cBrings back great memories!\u201d Victoria echoed in her own comment.<\/p>\n
Platon had added an extensive caption to the post, subtly alluding to the recent public spectacle surrounding the family after Brooklyn publicly alleged that his parents had \u201ccontrolled\u201d him his entire life and \u201chave been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship\u201d with his wife Nicola Peltz.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn and Romeo charged into the studio wearing football kits, kicking balls, doing headers and other tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile Victoria was busy with the children, I started work with David. At one point, Brooklyn ran on set with his football under his arm and hugged his dad\u2019s right leg. Then, Romeo joined his older brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, Victoria also appeared with baby Cruz in her arms. The whole family turned away from us for a private heartfelt group hug. It was a poignant thing to see \u2014 this spontaneous moment of affection happening on a giant photography set in front of 60 people,\u201d the caption continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cCelebrity comes with a heavy price and often it is family members who also pay,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this picture, although David stands alone, we see the love of his children tattooed onto his back. Family is everything. David Beckham, I salute you,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
The most stunning claim that Brooklyn made this week was that his mother \u201chijacked my first dance with my wife\u201d at their nuptials, stating that he was \u201chumiliated\u201d when the former Spice Girl \u201cdanced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone\u201d.<\/p>\n
DJ Fat Tony, who was at the wedding, has agreed with Brooklyn\u2019s claim that Victoria\u2019s behaviour was \u201cinappropriate\u201d, solely due to \u201cthe timing\u201d. <\/p>\n
He said that singer Mark Anthony called Victoria to the stage in place of Peltz and called the former Spice Girl \u201cthe most beautiful woman in the room\u201d, which \u201cdevastated\u201d Brooklyn and sent Peltz out of the room in tears.<\/p>\n

It was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room\u2026\u201d<\/p>\nBrooklyn is the eldest of four children born to the retired football star and singer-turned-fashion designer. His statement, posted this week, accused his parents of placing \u201ccountless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their facade.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI do not want to reconcile with my family,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI\u2019m not being controlled [by my wife], I\u2019m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Without giving specifics, he also claimed that before the wedding, his parents \u201crepeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Beckhams did not have an immediate public response to the posts.
