Cruz Beckham admits family ‘woke up blocked’ by Brooklyn as feud intensifies
Cruz Beckham has responded to claims that his parents, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, 'unfollowed' his brother Brooklyn on social media.
Over the weekend (21 December), the 20-year-old shared a screenshot on his Instagram Stories of a Daily Mail article that says his parents no longer follow their eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, amid an alleged family feud.
In the post, he denied the outlet's claims while explaining that he and his parents had unexpectedly been 'blocked' on the platform.
"NOT TRUE," Cruz wrote, adding: "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I."

Footy icon David, 50, and his Spice Girl alumni wife, 51-year-old Victoria, are no longer following Brooklyn on Instagram, and he no longer follows them.
But, as Cruz alluded, blocking someone automatically removes each user from their respective following and followers lists.
The power couple still follow their two younger sons, Cruz and 23-year-old Romeo, while their fourth child, daughter Harper, 14, has a private Instagram account.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30, also doesn't follow David and Victoria on Instagram. They don't follow her back.
A spokesperson for Victoria told PEOPLE that Cruz 'was responding to stories that [his] parents had unfollowed their son, which isn’t true'.
This is just the latest update in a year-spanning saga regarding an alleged Beckham family fall-out.
For context, Brooklyn and Nicola met in 2019 and got engaged within just seven months before marrying in 2022 at her family’s Palm Beach estate. Reports claim that tension began when Nicola chose Valentino over a Victoria Beckham wedding dress, despite earlier talk of wearing one of Victoria’s designs.
The wedding day itself paved the way for more reported drama after Marc Anthony’s onstage tribute singled out Victoria during the couple’s first dance, which reportedly left Nicola in tears.
"Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up… Victoria Beckham!'" an insider said, as Nicola allegedly 'ran from the room crying'.
A source told Page Six: "The shock was palpable. It was deeply hurtful. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a one-off. It’s a pattern that still happens to this day."
"Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn’t understand was why," another source added.
Since then, fans have read a lot into cryptic social media posts from the pair, as well as Nicola and Brooklyn failing to attend David's 50th birthday bash.
Tyla has contacted reps for David, Victoria, Brooklyn and Nicola for comment.
