Cruz Beckham has emerged publicly with a beaming smile, seemingly unfazed by the dramatic family feud ignited by his older brother Brooklyn's astonishing social media outburst. The 20-year-old was spotted in London's Notting Hill alongside his girlfriend, singer-songwriter Jackie Apostel, 29, marking his first appearance since the controversy erupted.
Social Media Unfollow Preceded Explosive Allegations
This public outing follows Cruz's decision to unfollow Brooklyn on social media last year, a move that preceded the 26-year-old's jaw-dropping Instagram post. In that now-viral message, Brooklyn launched a scathing attack on what he termed "Brand Beckham," accusing the family of toxicity and manipulation. He specifically claimed that his younger brothers, Cruz and Romeo, had been "sent to attack me on social media," leaving their mother, Victoria Beckham, 51, reportedly devastated and "in bits."
Cryptic Comments and Meme Liking Add Fuel to Fire
While Cruz has made several cryptic comments online recently about prioritising family, his actions have told a different story. He was notably caught liking memes that humorously referenced his mother Victoria allegedly "grinding" on Brooklyn, a detail that has sent social media into a frenzy. Fans worldwide have been speculating wildly about the nature of this "inappropriate" dance, with Cruz's apparent endorsement of the jokes suggesting he retains a sense of humour amidst the familial turmoil.
The couple, who share a nine-year age gap, appeared in high spirits during their London stroll. Jackie informed her followers they were "off to work," likely referring to preparations for Cruz's highly anticipated musical career. His upcoming London gig in March has already sold out in seconds, with both Jackie and various Beckham family members actively promoting the event on Instagram—a practice Brooklyn criticised in his post as part of the family's manipulative social media strategy.
Focus on Music as Family Drama Unfolds
Despite the ongoing drama, Cruz appears determined to keep his focus on his professional aspirations. Jackie Apostel further amplified the excitement around his musical debut by sharing a rehearsal clip on Instagram with the caption: "There's a lot to happen between then and now too. Come hang." This promotion stands in stark contrast to Brooklyn's allegations, which framed such family support as evidence of a "toxic" brand machine.
As the Beckham family saga continues to captivate global audiences, Cruz has yet to directly address Brooklyn's explosive claims. However, his cheerful public appearance and continued engagement with his music suggest he is choosing to rise above the fray, at least for now. With the sold-out concert fast approaching and the family rift showing no signs of healing, all eyes remain firmly fixed on the youngest Beckham son and his next move.
