LONDON — The Beckham family, long admired for their close-knit bond and polished public image, is once again under the spotlight as rumors of a bitter feud continue to swirl. At the center of the latest developments is Cruz Beckham, the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, who has taken to social media to voice cryptic messages that appear to address the ongoing tensions, particularly with his older brother, Brooklyn Beckham, and sister-in-law, Nicola Peltz.
On June 22, Cruz, 20, posted a TikTok video showcasing his musical talents with a performance of his song “For Ya Love.” The clip drew a cheeky comment from a follower, who asked, “Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?” In a sharp response, Cruz quipped, “Wrong brother mate,” a remark widely interpreted as a jab at Brooklyn, 26, whose varied career pursuits—including photography, cooking, and race car driving—have been the subject of public scrutiny. This exchange fueled speculation of a deepening rift between the brothers, adding to the ongoing narrative of family discord.
The Beckham family feud first gained traction following Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in March and May 2025. David, a former football icon, shared photos from the events featuring Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, but notably omitted any mention of Brooklyn and Nicola, despite their usual practice of acknowledging absent family members in captions. Sources close to the family have suggested that tensions stem from multiple incidents, including a reported clash at Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding, where Victoria allegedly overshadowed the bride during a planned dance.
Cruz has been vocal in his support for his parents amid these tensions. On May 29, he shared a now-deleted Instagram Story with a close-up image of his hair, captioned, “It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth,” accompanied by pointing emojis. The post was seen as a plea for honesty amid the family drama. Days later, Cruz posted a family photo from Paris Fashion Week, writing, “I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.” This public display of loyalty to David and Victoria was perceived as a subtle dig at Brooklyn, who has been distancing himself from the family.
The feud escalated further in July when Brooklyn and Nicola unfollowed Romeo and Cruz on Instagram, a move reciprocated by the younger brothers, who also blocked Brooklyn. This social media fallout came after reports that Brooklyn and Nicola disapproved of Romeo’s then-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, due to rumors of her past connection with Brooklyn—a claim both Cruz and Kim have denied.
Most recently, Cruz sparked controversy with a series of scathing Instagram messages, allegedly directed at Brooklyn and Nicola, including remarks like “Ur a d— now 😢,” “You’re a fraud,” and “Ur dead to me.” These comments, reported by OK! Magazine, have intensified public interest in the family’s strained dynamics, with sources claiming David and Victoria are “heartbroken” over Brooklyn’s estrangement.
Despite the drama, some insiders maintain that reconciliation is possible. A source told People, “The relationship is definitely not beyond repair,” emphasizing that David and Victoria remain supportive of Brooklyn. However, Brooklyn’s public declarations of loyalty to Nicola, including a June post calling her “my whole world” and stating, “I always choose you baby,” suggest he is firmly aligned with his wife and her family.
The Beckham saga has taken on a soap-opera-like quality, with PR experts warning that the ongoing feud could tarnish the family’s carefully curated brand. Lauren Beeching, a reputation management expert, noted that the media coverage has shifted to a “reality TV family” tone, potentially overshadowing the Beckhams’ professional achievements.
As the public awaits further developments, Cruz’s outspoken social media presence continues to keep the feud in the headlines. Whether the Beckhams can mend their fractured relationships remains uncertain, but for now, the family’s drama shows no signs of fading from the spotlight.
