Cruz Beckham shared a cryptic post about “telling the truth” amid the apparent feud between his family and his older brother Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, 26, and his actress wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have sparked rumours that they’ve fallen out with his parents Victoria and David Beckham by snubbing major milestones on social media and avoiding family events.
They failed to attend Victoria’s 51st birthday last month and skipped David’s lavish 50th birthday party earlier this month, which was attended by Brooklyn’s siblings Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper,13.
Brooklyn intensified the speculation by saying he will “always choose” Nicola in a “pointed” tribute to his partner on Instagram last week.
Amid the swirling rumours, Cruz sent his Instagram followers a telling message about being “kind”.
“It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
Tensions reportedly flared in the famous family after Brooklyn and Romeo stopped speaking due to Romeo's relationship with Kim Turnbull - who previously dated Brooklyn's friend Rocco Ritchie.
Brooklyn is said to be suspicious of Kim’s reasons for dating Romeo, with TMZ claiming Brooklyn and Nicola now refuse to attend any family event where Kim is present.
The US-based couple - who married in 2022 - skipped David’s milestone 50th birthday in London despite being in the capital at the time as well as his festivities in the Cotswolds and in Paris.
Last week, Brooklyn raised eyebrows when he shared a video of himself and Nicola on a motorcycle ride in Los Angeles and wrote in the caption: “My whole world x
“I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.”
Nicola, who is the daughter of Miami-based billionaires Nelson and Claudia Peltz, re-shared Brooklyn’s video on her own Instagram page and commented, “I've always got you baby,” alongside a burning love heart emoji.
Victoria and David reportedly took the post as a “pointed message” to them that was like a “dagger to their hearts”.
“There has been no call, no contact, nothing," a source told the Daily Mail. "As parents, David and Victoria are concerned for their son and they have tried to get in touch but he isn’t interested.
“David even tried through social media last Monday because he fears that his son won’t know that he and Victoria love him so dearly otherwise.
“It is a terribly sad situation. They just want him to know that they are there for him when he’s ready to talk to them but he simply doesn’t seem very interested at all.”
David is thought to be worried the feud with Brooklyn could mirror his own estrangement from his father Ted in 2005.
The pair were not on speaking terms until Ted, 77, suffered a near-death experience in 2007 and they reconciled.
