David and Victoria Beckham celebrated their son Cruz’s 21st birthday with a lavish joint party at The Fat Badger, an exclusive pub in Notting Hill, on February 24, 2026. This event not only marked Cruz’s milestone but also celebrated his close friend, Caroline Gautier, who is instrumental in shaping his music career.
The festivities began with Cruz, who celebrated his actual birthday on February 20, arriving at the venue accompanied by his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel. The couple was seen interacting with photographers, with Cruz even playfully capturing the moment himself. Cruz’s older brother, Romeo, also attended the celebration, showcasing his signature style in a bomber jacket and jeans.
A-List Guests Join the Celebration
The guest list featured an eclectic mix of celebrities, including Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and his wife, Jordyn Blum. The couple appeared in good spirits, despite Grohl’s past controversies surrounding his personal life. The Beckhams’ close-knit circle also included former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, who attended with his partner, Nancy Hallam. Notable attendees also comprised David Beckham’s childhood friend, David Gardner, and his girlfriend, Jessica Clarke.
A source close to the family remarked, “Cruz’s birthday seems to have gone on and on, but the Beckhams love a party and enjoy treating their friends.” The atmosphere was filled with laughter, dancing, and a sumptuous menu that reflected the high-profile nature of the gathering.
Victoria Beckham opted for an elegant all-black ensemble, while David complemented her look with a dark leather jacket and tan shoes. The couple’s fashion choices once again highlighted their status as style icons.
A Birthday to Remember
Cruz’s 21st birthday celebrations have been nothing short of extravagant. Just a week earlier, he had another party at The Maine in Mayfair, where guests indulged in a New England-themed menu. This earlier event, dubbed the Grande Beatle Ball in homage to the Beatles, allowed family and friends to dance the night away, despite the absence of Cruz’s estranged brother, Brooklyn.
As Cruz prepares to launch his UK tour, commencing at Birmingham’s Madame Roux on February 26, the support from his family and friends remains unwavering. The birthday events serve not only as a celebration of Cruz’s transition into adulthood but also as a testament to the close connections within the Beckham family and their social circle.
The Fat Badger, known for its £105 tasting menu, has become a favorite venue among London’s elite, providing an ideal backdrop for such a high-profile celebration.
Cruz’s journey in the music industry is poised for a significant leap, thanks to the guidance of Caroline Gautier, further underscoring the importance of friendship and support in achieving one’s dreams.
