The Beckham family has marked a notable festive season, celebrating their first Christmas together since a reported social media rift with their eldest son, Brooklyn. The family gathering proceeded without him, just days after news broke that he had blocked his relatives online.
Festive Cheer Amid Family Tensions
Victoria Beckham provided a glimpse into the family's holiday celebrations via Instagram on Friday 26 December 2025. Her posts showcased typical festive scenes, but the absence of Brooklyn was a silent undercurrent. In one video, younger son Cruz entertained the family by playing the guitar, while another clip featured a relaxed David Beckham receiving a pedicure at home.
Further adding to the domestic tableau, Victoria shared a humorous moment of David chopping down a Christmas tree. She quipped that her husband resembled the enthusiastic but hapless father, 'Clark Griswold', from the classic film National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Cruz Beckham Addresses the Rumours
Amid speculation swirling online about the family fallout, Cruz Beckham took a moment to set the record straight. He directly addressed rumours suggesting his parents had chosen to unfollow Brooklyn on social media platforms.
Cruz clarified the situation, stating it was in fact Brooklyn who had initiated the digital severance. The entire family, including Cruz himself, had been blocked by Brooklyn on his accounts, confirming the earlier reports of a 'mass blocking'.
A Celebration Shadowed by Absence
This year's celebrations represent a significant shift for the famously close-knit Beckham clan. The family's public image has long been one of unity, making Brooklyn's absence from both the physical festivities and their digital footprint particularly striking.
While Victoria's posts focused on the joy of the season with her other children and husband, the event underscores how modern family disputes can play out very publicly in the age of social media. The Beckhams' Christmas of 2025 will be remembered as the one where the family circle, at least visibly, was not complete.
