Victoria Beckham Hosts Fragrance Bash Without Brooklyn (Another Family Outing Missed)

In a move that barely registers on the shock meter, Victoria Beckham decided to host a fancy pop-up for her fragrance Portofino ‘97 in NYC, and guess who wasn’t there? Yep, Brooklyn, the son who’s apparently working full-time on his family avoidance skills. The rest of the crew showed up in typical Beckham fashion, with Romeo, 22, and little Harper, 15, dutifully supporting their iconic mom while the eldest sibling continues his estrangement tour (or whatever).
Victoria looked like the chic matriarch she is in a black sleeveless dress, embracing Romeo and posing for a cute family snap with David and Cruz, who also brought along his girlfriend, Jackie. Cruz and Jackie, 30, are practically glued together, fueling those engagement rumors like it’s their side hustle. Meanwhile, David was out here sipping iced coffee in a navy suit—who knew that was the go-to drink at a fragrance launch? Romeo opted for maximum chill in a white T-shirt and a backward baseball cap. Classic.
The Beckham clan appeared cozy enough at their private outdoor table, munching on pastries while Brooklyn is probably somewhere trying to dodge family drama or getting lost in his latest Joy Division vinyl. And just in case anyone missed it, Posh Spice is skipping Mel C’s wedding this weekend to stay in the States for the World Cup final. Because that’s what priorities look like.
Good for them, right?
