Cruz Beckham appears to share olive branch towards brother Brooklyn following family feud
He might still be blocked on Instagram, but Cruz Beckham appears hopeful that brother Brooklyn could soon be ready to bury the hatchet.
It was 21-year-old Cruz that first broke the news that Brooklyn, 27, had taken a step back from his close-knit family last December, telling his followers he'd removed parents David and Victoria, and their other siblings, Romeo and Harper, on social media.
Following rumours that his parents had made the first move, musician Cruz said online: "They woke up blocked… as did I."
In January, Brooklyn confirmed that the speculation regarding a supposed family fall-out was true, accusing ex-footballer David and former Spice Girl, Victoria, of trying to 'ruin' his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz in a lengthy statement.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family," he wrote at the time. "I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."
Brooklyn added that he grew up with 'overwhelming anxiety', accusing his family of valuing 'public promotion and endorsements above all else'.
"Brand Beckham comes first," he added.
He is also understood to have taken out a cease and desist letter against his famous family, which instructed them only to reach out to them through his legal representatives, and not to interact with he, nor his wife, in any further social media posts.
Taking to social media on Monday (17 Aug), however, Cruz Beckham seemed to ignore the legal warning, sharing a throwback snap alongside the amateur chef, hinting that he's willing to let bygones be bygones.
The childhood photo was included in a 'dump' of old summer holidays, the majority of which showed Cruz spending time with his 30-year-old girlfriend, Jackie Apostel.
It showed babyfaced versions of Cruz and Brooklyn, posing with gap-toothed smiles alongside their other brother, Romeo.
Cruz captioned the post, 'Brothers', alongside a blue heart emoji.
Fans have seemingly taken the upload and ran, having convinced themselves it's Cruz's attempt at prompting a response from his big brother, who reportedly hasn't spoken to the rest of the family in more than a year.
"Brothers In Arms," one user wrote in the comments. "I lost my brother and sister, life is too short! Family is everything!
"I hope all you guys reconnect, none of all the noise matters."
Another added: "That picture - brothers so wonderful."
"Brothers forever Cruz," a third added.
Timeline of the Beckham family feud
April 2022: Brooklyn and Nicola tie the knot
On 9 April 2022, Brooklyn and Nicola got married in a lavish ceremony in front of 500 guests at her family's estate in Palm Beach, Florida, two years after getting engaged.
Aug 2022: The first reports of a feud between Nicola and Victoria Beckham
Just months after the wedding, media sources were starting to report on a 'full-on cold war' between Nicola and her new mum-in-law.
According to Page Six, 'the build-up to the wedding was horrendous' and they 'can’t stand each other and don’t talk'.
Reports also claimed much of the feud came from Nicola's decision to wear a Valentino wedding dress instead of a piece designed by Victoria's fashion house, but they appeared to quash these rumours.
March 2023: The Beckhams play happy families
In March 2023, the Beckhams seemed to be happier than ever and were posing for photos at Victoria's Paris fashion show.
April 2025: The family rift resurfaces
Two years on, it was reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had snubbed David's 50th birthday party at Cipriani Downtown Miami.
And then, just days later, TMZ claimed that Brooklyn and brother Romeo weren't speaking due to a fallout over Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who had a 'romantic connection' with Brooklyn 'several years ago'.
Cruz later insisted that Brooklyn and Kim had never actually dated, and in May of 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola were nowhere to be seen as the birthday celebrations for David continued.
July 2025: Mass unfollowing on social media
In July 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola unfollowed Romeo and Cruz and vice versa.
August 2025: David and Victoria miss vow renewals
The following month, David and Victoria are reported not to have attended the Peltz-Beckham vow renewals.
And by December that year, it was reported that Brooklyn no longer followed his parents, and they no longer followed him, and the youngest brother was quick to set the record straight.
Dec 2025: Cruz speaks out
Cruz wrote on his Instagram Stories about the claims that he and his family had unfollowed Brooklyn: "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I."
Jan 2026: Brooklyn takes legal action
In January 2026, it was claimed that Brooklyn sent a legal letter to his parents, insisting they only contact him via his lawyer; a rule which Victoria is believed to have broken when she 'liked' an Instagram post he made about a roast chicken.
Jan 2026: Brooklyn breaks silence on family feud
In a shock statement posted on his Instagram Stories on 19 January, Brooklyn made some bombshell claims about his family, which included how his parents have tried to 'ruin' his relationship with Nicola, have always 'controlled' his life, and how 'Brand Beckham' comes first before anything else.
March 2026: David reaches out to Brooklyn
David shared a post to celebrate Brooklyn’s birthday, writing: "27 Today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you."
He shared an old photo of Brooklyn as a child and tagged Victoria, but was unable to tag Brooklyn since his son has blocked him.
The post was met with stony silence from Brooklyn.
June 2026: Harper turns up at Brooklyn’s door
Harper, Brooklyn’s 14-year-old sister and the Beckhams’ youngest child, was photographed outside Brooklyn’s door hand-delivering a letter. Brooklyn and Nicola were believed to be in New York at the time.
A rep for the Peltz-Beckhams savagely responded: "That photographers were in place as the letter was hand delivered says it all - this was choreographed for the cameras."
Meanwhile, Brooklyn releases a DoorDash World Cup ad clearly taking a swipe at his family. He says in the commercial: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home. It’s a long story."
