There are four Beckham children in all: Brooklyn, 26; Romeo, 23; Cruz, 20; and Harper, 14. Each member of the Beckham clan has established their curated internet personalities, but when it comes to Cruz, leave it to him to unapologetically call out the BS, especially if it involves his family.

So, it's no secret at this point that there's been an ongoing rift in the Beckham family, notably between David, Victoria, and their eldest son, Brooklyn.

Back in May, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were noticeably absent from David's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite having supposedly been invited. David's wife and their other children were all present.

On Father's Day, Brooklyn supposedly snubbed his dad, ignoring multiple tributes to him. It was this change in his internet behavior that sparked more rumors of the growing tension between the family.

On Oct. 8, at the world premiere of the Netflix special Victoria Beckham, the entire family was together to support the fashion mogul matriarch, but Brooklyn and Nicola were absent.

On Dec. 6, the entire family posed with the trophy after the Inter Miami CF, which David co-owns, won the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Final match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Still, no Brooklyn in sight.

At the time of the 50th birthday celebration in May, a source told People that Brooklyn and Nicola skipped the celebrations because his brother Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who apparently has a past connection to Brooklyn, would be in attendance. Kim has denied claims that she was romantically involved with Brooklyn.

Cruz had replied to a commenter on Instagram claiming that "Brooklyn and Kim never dated," which was backed up by another source.

Now, Cruz is taking to social media again to call out the misinformation. On Dec. 21, Cruz shared a screenshot on his Instagram stories debunking a Daily Mail article that claimed his parents had unfollowed their estranged son, Brooklyn, revealing that he's spending his Christmas with his wife Nicola Peltz's billionaire parents instead.

In his IG story, Cruz denied the claims about his parents, writing, "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I."

And while the apparent family feud reached a critical point in 2025, it appears to have been ongoing for some time, dating back to Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in 2022. There was rumored tension between Victoria and Nicola after the bride chose to forego wearing one of Victoria's designs, despite initially saying she would. Multiple sources provided mixed responses on whether the rift was factual.

Brooklyn's entire family, except for his little sister, has a public Instagram account and is very active on the app, but he currently doesn't follow or interact with any of them.
