The ongoing saga within the Beckham family has taken a new twist, with youngest son Cruz Beckham publicly setting the record straight on the state of their social media connections. Contrary to widespread reports, Cruz insists his parents did not unfollow his older brother Brooklyn, but instead found themselves suddenly blocked.
The Social Media Block: Cruz Sets the Record Straight
Recent speculation suggested that football legend Sir David Beckham, 50, and his wife, fashion designer Victoria Beckham, 51, had proactively unfollowed their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, 30, on Instagram. The move was seen as a fresh escalation in a long-running family tension. However, Cruz Beckham, 20, swiftly took to his own Instagram to refute the claims directly.
In a clear statement, the aspiring musician wrote: 'NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.' This revelation shifts the narrative, indicating it was Brooklyn who severed the digital link with his parents and younger brother.
A History of Strain and Missed Milestones
The family discord is believed to have roots in the aftermath of Brooklyn and Nicola's lavish 2022 wedding. The rift has manifested in several notable absences from key family events over the past year.
In May 2025, the couple was conspicuously missing from David's high-profile 50th birthday celebration in London, which was attended by Victoria and their other children: Romeo, 23, Cruz, and Harper, 14. Around the same time, Brooklyn posted a video with Nicola captioned with a pledge to 'always choose' her. Hours later, Cruz shared a family photo with a heartfelt message praising his parents.
The divide was further highlighted on August 3, 2025, when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows in a ceremony seemingly unattended by David and Victoria. Followers noted that Nicola's father, Nelson Peltz, officiated the event.
Christmas Plans and Public Hints of Heartache
The situation appears unresolved as the festive season approaches. A source has revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola have chosen to spend Christmas 2025 with her family in the United States, despite David reportedly extending an olive branch earlier in the week.
Victoria has previously hinted at the personal difficulty of familial estrangement. In an October interview, she reflected on the reconciliation of Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, stating, 'I just think their mum must be so happy... It must have been really tough on the mum.' Notably, while discussing how 'really close' she and David are to their children, she omitted any mention of Brooklyn.
For his part, Brooklyn has maintained a focus on his life with Nicola, recently stating he ignores the 'rubbish' people say and that they are happy keeping their heads down and working. As the digital block confirms, the path to a Beckham family reconciliation remains uncertain.
