The Beckham family's internal drama has taken a very public turn on social media. Cruz Beckham, the 20-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, has confirmed that his older brother, Brooklyn Beckham, has blocked their entire family on Instagram.
Cruz Beckham Sets the Record Straight
Amid swirling reports that his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn, Cruz took to his Instagram Story to clarify the situation. He stated firmly that the narrative was false. Cruz revealed that David, 50, and Victoria, 51, along with himself and their 14-year-old sister Harper, all woke up to find themselves blocked by Brooklyn, 26, on the platform. He emphasized that his parents would never unfollow their own son, putting the blame squarely on Brooklyn's actions.
A Rift Rooted in Wedding Drama
This digital block is the latest development in a rumored family tension that has been brewing for years. The issues are said to have begun around the time of Brooklyn's lavish 2022 wedding to actress Nicola Peltz, 30, in Palm Beach, Florida. While the day was filled with family and friends, whispers of discord started soon after.
One major point of contention was Nicola's decision not to wear a wedding dress designed by her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, despite initial plans. Sources have given conflicting reports on how significant this was. Furthermore, another insider claimed Victoria hijacked a planned dance at the wedding reception, a moment that was supposed to be special for Brooklyn and Nicola, featuring a song performed by Marc Anthony.
Growing Distance and Notable Absences
The strain appears to have grown over time. In a telling move, Nicola Peltz does not follow any of the Beckham family members on Instagram. The physical distance between the families has also become evident. David and Victoria were notably absent from Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal ceremony in New York in August of this year.
The last known picture of the whole family together was during Christmas of last year. More recently, when David Beckham celebrated his star-studded 50th birthday in London in May, Brooklyn and Nicola were absent, despite reportedly receiving an invitation. Victoria, Romeo (23), Cruz, and Harper were all in attendance.
With social media blocks now confirming a deep division, the Beckham family feud shows no signs of a quick resolution, leaving fans to wonder if and when this famous clan will reconcile.
