Sir David Beckham‘s international tour continued on Monday as he arrived in Paris with sons Romeo, Cruz and their respective girlfriends ahead of Haute Couture Fashion Week – and more questions about his shattered relationship with son Brooklyn.

Fresh off an unexpected trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Beckham, 50, emerged in the French capital as the dust slowly settles on his eldest son’s bombshell statement, released last Monday.

Little more than a week ago, the cooking influencer levelled a series of allegations against his family, while stressing he has no desire to reconnect – opting instead to build a new life with his actress wife Nicola Peltz in the United States.

Beckham, who is yet to address his son’s allegations publicly, appeared to have other concerns as he climbed from the rear of his car ahead of a busy day in Paris.

The former Manchester United and England footballer will be present as fashion designer wife Victoria earns her latest accolade by becoming a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.

Victoria joins a prestigious list of former recipients, among them actresses Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, director Denis Villeneuve and actor Jude Law.

Bestowed by the French Ministry of Culture, the award recognises the individual contributions of artists, writers, and cultural figures to the arts and literature.

The 26-year old had previously skipped his father’s milestone 50th birthday celebration and the London launch of his mother’s Netflix show.

Perhaps more significantly, both he and Nicola were absent as Beckham – accompanied by Victoria, his own parents and three remaining children – travelled to Windsor Castle for his long awaited investiture on November 4.

Arriving in Paris on Monday, the retired footballer – dressed casually in a denim jacket and jeans – was warmly greeted as he arrived at his five star hotel.

The family have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family.

The influencer as far as to say he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.

He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

‘Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

‘Recently, I have seen with
