An expert has warned that Cruz Beckham’s outburst may have consequences as he breaks his silence on the family feud between Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham.
As the Beckham feud continues, youngest son Cruz Beckham has broken his silence with an explosive statement. However, it’s possible that his remark will now “a bad situation worsen.”
In recent days, it was reported that 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham has unfollowed his parents David and Victoria Beckham, with them unfollowing him in return. Hitting back, Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz, 20, took to Instagram Stories, insisting; “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”
It comes amid an ongoing rift, with photographer-turned-chef Brooklyn and his actress wife Nicola Peltz Beckham said to have gone ‘no contact’ with the Beckhams. So far, David and Victoria have kept quiet on the matter, with only Cruz’s claim shedding light on what’s really going on behind the walls of Beckingham Palace. But could his public clarification do more harm than healing?

“Cruz’s position in this tragic family rift is an understandable one but Victoria and David will also very likely be attuned to the fact that it risks making a bad situation worse,” body language and communications expert Judi James told the Mirror.
“Parents do need to keep a dignified silence when there’s a problem in the family and an estrangement from a much-loved son, as there sadly appears to be with this scenario. They will understand that circumstances can change, just like they will all parents, and that parental love is unconditional.
If Brooklyn needs a door, it must be kept open to provide an open, loving, and unjudged return. As agonising as it might be to hear or read speculation or even accusations in public, any negative response will only make any reconcilliation less likely. In such a situation, parents must display complete loyalty and wisdom.
What’s the connection between Brooklyn and his little brother, though? Cruz, in particular, seems to have been keenly affected by the seismic split in the once unified family. The rest of the Beckham clan will spend the holidays at Victoria and David’s Cotswolds home, according to reports that Brooklyn will spend the holidays in the Miami mansion he shares with his actress wife Nicola and her parents.
Last week Cruz sent a subtle sign to his estranged brother that he’d like them to make peace. Clearly missing his big brother, he took to Instagram to share a throwback snap of the pair along with Romeo on a beach in Brazil. It showed budding chef Brooklyn with his arm around Cruz as they struck a pose on the sand. The weekend before, Cruz shared a sweet home video clip of the pair as children and previously shared a family photo of himself, Brooklyn, Romeo and their dad during a 2021 holiday, alongside the caption: ‘Love you guys @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham @romeobeckham.’
Cruz has been the one to speak out despite his heartbreaking desire. When he said, “The truth will unfold,” was the phrase that was being addressed by the feud, it was widely believed.” “The lyrics featured in the post included:” Love you, I love you / Love you, I love you / Love you, I love you / Love you, I love you / And in the end / The love you take / Is equal to the love you make. “
In June, he also appeared to take a swing at his brother’s numerous careers. One follower responded, “Would you stick with this job or will you become a race car driver next or something,” while promoting a snippet of his track For ya love on his TikTok page. “Cruz was quick to retort with:” Wrong brother mate. “
Cruz responded, “He has the talent of an average teenage boy who just started learning guitar,” to which Cruz replied, “It’s easy to comment on TikTok, don’t you care what you think, darling?”
A perceived jab also came in September when Brooklyn represented Europe in the Ryder Cup’s Celebrity Match at Bethpage Black. Cruz re-posted a meme video of a man excitedly saying: “Gosh I’m just fired up to be today.” Alongside the meme, the caption read: “The one friend who sucks at golf but comes for the vibes.” Above the post, Cruz added: “That’s me”.
It was Cruz who set the record straight when it was briefed that Nicola and Brooklyn swerved David’s 50th celebrations because of Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. Kim and Brooklyn were previously alleged to have had a sexual relationship, which made things awkward for the couple. Cruz responded, saying that they “never dated” on social media.
Kim later claimed she was embarrassed by the lies and was unable to remain silent. Kim fired from Instagram, saying, “I’ve avoided speaking on this subject to stop the fire, but it’s come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.
She continued:” I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative. I have never had romantic relationships with the person I’m dating. At the age of 16, there was nothing more than a school friendship. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved. “
And Judi thinks Cruz’ outspoken handling of the conflict is the result of his desire to “protect” his beloved mother. Less pressure is felt by siblings frequently. A parent will feel loyalty to all their children but siblings rarely feel quite so prone to being open-minded and forgiving, especially if they’re witnessing the upset the stray sibling is causing to the people they love the most, ie their mum and dad, “she says.
Cruz might find it simple to get angry at his mother, especially if he first notices her distress. He will probably see any ‘ setting the record straight ‘ as being totally justified which, in many ways it is. Even close siblings frequently engage in power struggles and quarrels, and parents typically act as intermediaries, but Cruz seems to want to protect his parents.
“If the conflict between the siblings starts, it will be more difficult to elude any return to Brooklyn’s fold,” said Victoria and David. It’s a similar but obviously not the same problem that Charles must now have with William and Harry. The devoted son who has remained with his or her parents might unintentionally or wittingly create a “He or I” situation. No parent wants to make a decision. If the rift between the siblings deepens and lasts longer the parents might find themselves unable to reconcile the entire family again.
The Royals might be a perfect illustration of how, in a conflict between siblings rather than sibling/parents, the chances of accepting the returning sibling and maintaining the “loyal” one happy can get more and more distant with time.
Brooklyn’s chances of returning to normal are slim right now, as he reportedly blocked his entire family due to his and Nicola’s social media posts.
Taking to Instagram last Wednesday, footballing legend David shared a snap of himself, Victoria, Romeo, Cruz and Harper celebrating his MLS title in Miami – but also included a throwback snap in the same post of David with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz after winning that same cup as a player with LA Galaxy, in 2011 and 2012.
He named it “Limit to cry,” as he celebrated becoming the first player to win the MLS Cup both as a Los Angeles Galaxy player and owner.
At the end of November, Brooklyn’s grandmother Jackie, who spent a lot of time with him as a baby and toddler when his famous parents worked away, also seemed to be sending her grandson a message to build bridges and come home for Christmas.
Brooklyn’s own personalized red stocking hangs from her fireplace, which she and her daughter Victoria shared, and she shared a sweet festive photo. His stocking was shared by Victoria’s younger sister Louise and her ex-husband, Darren Flood, along with Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, as well as all of their cousins, Liberty, Tallulah, Finlay, and Quincy. Captioning the video, the fashion designer wrote: ‘ So many grandchildren! ‘
The Instagram content is just a media play, according to an unnamed “friend” who spoke to the Daily Mail. Brooklyn and Nicola are only made to feel more distant by it. They get upset by the speculation. They are attempting to take the dangerous path of living simply by themselves.
