Cruz Beckham has publicly shared a throwback photo of himself with his older brother Brooklyn Beckham, a surprising move given the ongoing estrangement between Brooklyn and the rest of the family. The 21-year-old musician posted a series of summer holiday photos on Instagram on Sunday, including a childhood snapshot of him with Brooklyn and their brother Romeo. The image was captioned simply 'Brothers' with a blue heart emoji.
Brooklyn's Feud with the Beckhams
Brooklyn, 27, an amateur chef, has not spoken to his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, or his siblings Cruz, Romeo, and Harper for over a year. The rift became public when Brooklyn launched a blistering attack on social media, claiming his family tried to 'ruin' his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz. Since then, he has reportedly blocked his family members on social media and instructed his parents to communicate only through his lawyers.
The feud has been brewing for years, with rumors initially surfacing around Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in 2022. In the four years since, the relationship has completely deteriorated. In December, reports surfaced that Brooklyn had unfollowed his parents on Instagram, and Cruz later clarified, 'They woke up blocked… as did I.'
Anniversary Date Change
Nicola and Brooklyn have also decided to mark their anniversary date as their wedding vow renewal, which took place last August with only her family and friends in attendance. The Beckhams were noticeably absent from that event. A source told The Sun that their original wedding 'is not an occasion they look back on fondly.' The insider added, 'Nicola ended up in tears. It's not something they want to be reminded of.'
However, the vow renewal holds happier memories. The source said, 'Their second wedding, where they renewed their vows last August with just her family and their friends, does hold so many happy memories, however. Going forwards, they've decided that this is the date they will celebrate publicly together.'
Impact of Cruz's Gesture
Cruz's Instagram post marks a rare public gesture of goodwill toward Brooklyn, who has not responded publicly. The family's feud has been widely covered in the media, and this olive branch may signal a potential thaw in relations, though Brooklyn has yet to acknowledge the post. As of now, Brooklyn remains estranged from his family, and his lawyers remain the only point of contact for his parents.
