In a heartwarming display of family solidarity, Cruz Beckham took his younger sister, Harper, for a special outing to London's Winter Wonderland, despite the pouring rain on Thursday night. This gesture comes at a sensitive time for the famous family, as their eldest brother, Brooklyn, has reportedly distanced himself from them all.
A Brotherly Bond Strengthens
Cruz, 20, was determined to spend quality time with his 14-year-old sister, ensuring the evening was memorable. He was joined by his girlfriend, singer Jackie Apostel, with whom he went Instagram official last October. The group enjoyed the festive attractions during the VIP night, a tradition the Beckhams have enjoyed for years.
An insider revealed that Cruz's actions are particularly significant given the current family dynamics. "Despite the weather, Cruz really wanted to bring his little sister to Winter Wonderland and spend some quality time together," the source said. "He is stepping up since Brooklyn has distanced himself from everyone in the family, including Harper."
The Impact of the Family Rift
The ongoing feud has been especially tough on Harper, who has always shared a uniquely close bond with Brooklyn. Brooklyn, 26, was almost a teenager when Harper was born, and she completely looked up to him. Her brothers, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, are now focused on making things as nice as possible for her during this difficult period.
The situation was complicated by Harper's relationship with Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz. Sources close to the Beckhams say Harper was thrilled when Nicola became the "big sister" she never had. However, following the fallout, friends have accused the heiress of 'using Harper' for publicity.
The family divide was further highlighted during a major recent milestone. While Sir David Beckham's other children attended his knighthood ceremony for his services to sport and charity, Brooklyn not only snubbed the event on social media but also did not reach out to congratulate his father privately.
Looking Forward
Fans have since flooded Brooklyn's social media accounts, urging him to reconcile with his family before missing more important moments. However, a friend stated, "Brooklyn has made it clear he doesn’t want to have any communication with his parents at the moment... They are more devastated now that things have changed between him and his grandparents who he was always so close to."
For now, the Beckham family is navigating this challenging chapter, with Cruz and his brothers ensuring their sister feels supported and loved, one Winter Wonderland visit at a time.
