Cruz Beckham 'extends olive branch to Brooklyn' amid family feud

Cruz Beckham has appeared to extend an olive branch to older brother Brooklyn amid their devastating ongoing family feud.

The youngest of the Beckham brothers, 20, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a sweet black and white throwback picture showing their mother Victoria holding sister Harper as a baby on a sofa along with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

While the aspiring musician optioned not caption the image, it would seem that family matters are on his mind.

It follows reports that things between the famous clan have become so strained that aspiring chef Brooklyn, 26, has said he "wants no contact" with them.

Tensions are believed to have stemmed from when Brooklyn married actress Nicola Peltz, 30, in April 2022, with with it alleged that Peltz and Victoria do not get on.

Brooklyn and Peltz were notably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebrations last month.

They look likely to miss out on another important family milestone this week when the former England captain achieves his long-time goal of receiving a knighthood.

While a source claimed to US outlet Page Six that Brooklyn is "thrilled" for his father, saying the honour has been a long time coming, they allege he only learned of the news via media reports — not directly from his family.

However, a source representing Brooklyn denied this narrative, saying: “Everyone’s focus should be David Beckham’s great honour.”

They further fuelled speculation of a rift after appearing together on the cover of the German edition of Glamour magazine last week.

In the shoot, Brooklyn posed shirtless, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that he had altered a tattoo once dedicated to his mother.

The original inking, reading "mama’s boy" over his heart, now appears to be covered by a large floral design, believed to represent Peltz’s wedding bouquet.

Brooklyn is said to have around 100 tattoos — with approximately 70 of them dedicated to Nicola and her family.

Victoria Beckham is reportedly experiencing sleepless nights and has described the situation as her "worst nightmare".
