Cruz Beckham has expressed hope for a reconciliation with his older brother Brooklyn, despite a family feud that has lasted over a year. The 21-year-old musician was approached by a reporter in Paris, where he was sightseeing with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, and asked if he thought the relationship could be repaired. 'Any chance you guys will repair the relationship? Are you hopeful for that?' the reporter asked. Cruz responded with an optimistic answer, though the exact words were not captured in full.
Brooklyn celebrated his 27th birthday in the United States with his wife Nicola Peltz and her family, without any of his own family members present. However, his parents David and Victoria, as well as Cruz, posted loving tributes on social media. Cruz shared a childhood photo of Brooklyn holding him as a baby with the caption 'i love you' and a party popper emoji. David posted 'Happy Birthday Bust,' using Brooklyn's childhood nickname, while Victoria wrote 'Happy Brooklyn, we love you so much.'
Despite these public messages, a source told ET that Brooklyn and Nicola were 'disheartened' by what they saw as 'performative' posts. The source claimed that Brooklyn had previously criticised such actions, stating that his family values 'public promotion and endorsements above all else' and that 'Brand Beckham comes first.' In January, Brooklyn accused his parents of 'controlling' him and disrespecting his wife.
Brooklyn has shown no signs of seeking a reconciliation, with his loyalties firmly with Nicola. On Valentine's Day, he vowed to 'always protect' her. Nicola celebrated his birthday with decorations and personalised doughnuts, posting a video and writing, 'happy birthday baby ... i love being your wife.' A source told Metro that David and Victoria were 'disappointed' to miss the birthday and are not in contact with Brooklyn.
