Cruz Beckham Denies the Story About His Parents Unfollowing Brooklyn on Social Media
Cruz Beckham refuses to give the media the opportunity to spread false information about his family.
When it was rumored that David Beckham and Victoria Beckham unfollowed their eldest son Brooklyn on Instagram due to the alleged family feud, the 20-year-old took to Instagram to clarify that it was actually Brooklyn who blocked them.
“NOT TRUE,” Cruz stated in the Instagram Stories on December 20, posting a screenshot of a Daily Mail article which reported that his parents (who are also the parents of Romeo Beckham, 23, and Harper Beckham, 14) unfollowed Brooklyn. “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. So, let’s get the facts right. They were the ones who found out they had been blocked…so was I.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the Beckham family has had tensions. In fact, an insider shared with E! News that the disagreement might have been sparked by a difficult moment at Nicola Peltz Beckham and Brooklyn’s wedding in April 2022.
What Brooklyn and Nicola’s Wedding Was Said to Have Caused a Rift Within the Beckham Family?
“Brooklyn and Nicola thought that they were going to be given their first dance as a gift by Marc Anthony,” an insider told E! News in May. “However, Marc Anthony said, ‘Let’s hear it from the most beautiful woman in the room… Victoria Beckham.’ Brooklyn was confused as to how he should react and was given a very awkward position.”
Just as the couple, their guests were also quite shaken by the event.
“Nicola went out of the room bawling,” the insider disclosed. “When she returned, she was calm enough to enjoy the rest of her wedding celebration.”

Why Nicola Peltz Beckham Didn’t Wear a Victoria Beckham Wedding Dress
On her wedding day in April 2022, Nicola Peltz Beckham rather chose a Valentino Couture gown than a Victoria Beckham design to wear at her Palm Beach ceremony with Brooklyn Beckham. The choice led very quickly to speculation about tension between her and her future mother-in-law.
Nicola kept her silence for a few months until she cleared the air via an interview with Variety in August 2022. According to her, the original idea was to wear a custom-made dress by Victoria Beckham, which she “really wanted to”, but eventually, she was informed that the atelier could not deliver the dress on time, therefore, she was forced to pick another dress.
“She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it,” Nicola said, noting that the drama was overblown. Brooklyn pointed out that tabloids will “always try to write stuff like that,” stating firmly that “everyone gets along.” In her interview with Grazia, Nicola described the Beckhams as “great in-laws”.

Was Brooklyn Beckham Upset by Romeo’s Girlfriend?
According to an insider, it was Brooklyn who made the final decision not to attend the party of David Beckham’s 50th birthday. The reason was, according to the insider, that Brooklyn did not want to see his brother Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend at that time, DJ Kim Turnbull. Since going public with the relationship in November, Kim Turnbull had been coming to more family events — even to Victoria Beckham’s March 7 Paris Fashion Week show — The DJ and Romeo had been publicizing the relationship since November.
An Instagram fan suggested that Brooklyn must have had a romantic relationship with Kim before and that’s why he didn’t go to the party because of her. But this was denied by the youngest brother, Cruz Beckham, who said, “Brooklyn and Kim never dated” in reply to the comment.
On June 4, E! News was informed that Romeo and Kim have parted ways. So, it might be that it will be a lot easier to set up a brotherly get-together in the future.

A source who spoke with E! News said that Nicola and Brooklyn Beckham had the impression that it would be Marc Anthony who would surprise them by being the one who introduces their first dance as a gift during the wedding reception held in April 2022. However, as per reports, instead of doing this the “On The Floor” singer uttered the words, “Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the room—Victoria Beckham.”

The insider said that Nicola had left the room sobbing and returned later when “she got herself together to enjoy the rest of her wedding.”
Brooklyn and Nicola’s Relationship with Beckhams Reportedly Strained After Wedding Drama
It’s true that the wedding accident in 2022 changed a lot of things for Brooklyn Beckham, but it was not drastic enough for David Beckham to refuse the role of a best man at Marc Anthony’s wedding to Nadia Ferreira in January 2023. However, Nicola Peltz Beckham may have found it difficult to overcome the affront.
A source reveals that the couple “have made good faith efforts over the years” to build and maintain a relationship with his family. But “at this time, things are not good.”
On the other hand, Brooklyn has publicly expressed his love for Nicola in a very clear and unambiguous way. On May 24, he posted on Instagram, where he referred to her as his “whole world.” He added: “I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.”
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Lawyer Up to Fight “Misinformation”
Amidst escalating coverage of their family tensions, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham hired a lawyer.
As a result of a report that detailed, Nicola crying at her 2022 wedding after a perceived slight with Marc Anthony and Victoria Beckham, fresh rumors surfaced that the pair had hired the same lawyer as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
A source familiar with the matter told E! News that the couple did retain the services of lawyer Jenny Afi of U.K. firm Schillings, but not for “reputation management.”
The source added that their only intention was to “set the record straight, [and] combat the spread of misinformation.”
Although the Sussexes—who had David and Victoria Beckham at their 2018 royal wedding—are among Schillings’ clients, the insider emphasized, “there is absolutely no connection to Meghan and Harry” in this instance.
If arguing against that, the source pointed out, it further shows “the very reason why one hires legal counsel: to establish the facts and refute the propagation of deliberate misinformation.”
