Cruz Beckham has stepped into a public family dispute to set the record straight, revealing that his older brother Brooklyn has blocked their entire family on Instagram. The 20-year-old directly contradicted claims that his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, had unfollowed their eldest son.
Setting the Record Straight on Social Media
On Saturday, 21st December 2025, Cruz shared an online news story alleging a social media snub by his famous parents. He posted a clear rebuttal, writing: "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I." This intervention from the youngest Beckham brother throws the spotlight on an increasingly bitter and public rift within one of Britain's most famous families.
A Fractured Family Christmas in the Cotswolds
The fallout means the Beckhams are now facing the stark prospect of their first Christmas without Brooklyn. It is understood that the 26-year-old, who is based in the United States with his wife, actress Nicola Peltz, will not be joining his parents and younger siblings—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—at their £10 million Cotswolds home for the festive period. Reports suggest that recent efforts to extend an olive branch to Brooklyn and Nicola have ultimately come to nothing.
A source speaking to the Mail provided a bleak interpretation of the Instagram block, stating: "It appears that Brooklyn has blocked them to show them that's it, this is final. It is very clear that this is a sign of his complete estrangement from his family." The situation presents a dramatic twist in the long-running narrative of tensions between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola, and his parents, former England footballer Sir David, 50, and fashion designer Victoria, 51.
What Happens Next for the Beckhams?
This very public airing of a private conflict ensures the Beckham family feud will dominate headlines over the Christmas season. While Cruz's statement clarifies the specific mechanics of the Instagram situation, it does little to resolve the underlying issues. The focus now shifts to whether this estrangement is truly permanent or if a reconciliation can be brokered in the new year, away from the glare of social media and press speculation.
