In a heartfelt public gesture, Cruz Beckham has made a move to bridge the gap with his older brother Brooklyn, as the reported feud within the famous family continues. The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham used social media to send a clear message of affection to his sibling, despite the ongoing tensions.
A Nostalgic Instagram Post
On 4 December 2025, 20-year-old Cruz Beckham took to his Instagram feed to re-share a nostalgic photograph. The image, originally posted nearly five years ago, featured Cruz alongside his brothers Brooklyn and Romeo, and their father, football legend David Beckham. Cruz captioned the repost with a simple but powerful declaration: "Love you guys @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham @romeobeckham."
This public display is seen as a significant olive branch from the youngest Beckham son. However, observers were quick to note that despite this digital declaration of love, Cruz still does not follow Brooklyn's account on the platform, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
The Roots of the Beckham Family Rift
The origins of the family's difficulties are widely believed to stem from the wedding of Brooklyn Beckham to actress Nicola Peltz. Sources suggest tensions arose over planning disagreements, including Nicola's choice not to wear a wedding dress designed by her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham. It is also reported that David and Victoria felt sidelined during important discussions about the big day.
Further complicating the dynamic, it has been claimed that Nicola felt uncomfortable within the family due to the presence of Romeo Beckham's girlfriend, who is rumoured to have previously dated Brooklyn during their school years. Since the fallout, Brooklyn has adopted his wife's surname, becoming Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, and the couple have notably distanced themselves from the rest of the family.
Other Attempts at Reconciliation
Cruz's post is not the only recent attempt to mend fences. Earlier in December, Victoria Beckham posted a video showcasing her mother's fireplace, which featured Christmas stockings for all her grandchildren. Notably, a stocking for Brooklyn was still in its place on the mantlepiece, a silent signal that he remains in their thoughts despite the lack of direct communication.
The rift has led to several notable absences from family events. Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly snubbed David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations and the ceremony for his knighthood. The couple also chose to renew their wedding vows in a private ceremony without inviting any members of the Beckham family.
While the precise reasons for the ongoing feud remain private, Cruz Beckham's poignant Instagram post stands as the most recent and public effort to heal the divisions within one of Britain's most famous families.
