The Beckham family drama continues as reports emerge that David and Victoria Beckham no longer follow their eldest son Brooklyn—or his wife, Nicola Peltz—on Instagram. However, Cruz Beckham has challenged these claims, revealing a different story and urging the public to “get the facts right.”
While tabloids suggested the Beckham parents unfollowed Brooklyn and Nicola on social media, Cruz, 20, clarified on Instagram that it was actually Brooklyn, 26, who blocked them. He stated, “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… They woke up blocked… as did I.” Nicola, 30, also does not follow David and Victoria, highlighting ongoing complexities within the family.
Tensions reportedly began during Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding preparations, with friction fueled by financial disagreements between the Beckham and Peltz families. Sources claim Nicola’s wealthy parents contributed significantly to the couple’s California lifestyle, while the Beckhams maintained a more conservative financial approach. David and Victoria, who reside in the Cotswolds, have instilled in their children a strong work ethic, with Brooklyn even working at a coffee shop at 15.

Despite rumors of financial disputes, friends defend Nicola and Brooklyn’s support system, emphasizing Nicola’s 20-plus year career as a writer, director, and producer. An insider remarked that Nicola’s parents proudly support their children and dismissed claims that she is “pampered.”
The family tension escalated when Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend David’s 50th birthday party in May. Reports suggest their absence was due to the presence of Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who is now dating his brother Romeo. Brooklyn also did not acknowledge his father on Father’s Day, fueling speculation about fractured family relations.
American outlet TMZ reported Brooklyn and Nicola were pressured to attend the main celebrations or risk losing time with family. However, the couple reportedly chose to skip the events due to discomfort over Romeo and Kim’s presence.
Kim Turnbull, 24, has candidly addressed the challenges of fame and rumors in the public eye, acknowledging the difficulty of handling false narratives while maintaining her integrity.
Cruz Beckham weighed in on the family situation by posting Beatles lyrics on Instagram, hinting at deeper truths behind the ongoing dispute: “The truth will unfold.”
Some speculate Brooklyn’s purchase of a new home in Los Angeles is a move to distance himself physically from his family’s UK residences. This theory is disputed by sources who explain that Brooklyn’s career and childhood connections in LA, where David Beckham once played for LA Galaxy, make the city a natural home for the couple.
Despite the social media blocks and public tensions, the Beckham family saga remains a highly personal story of love, loyalty, and the complexities of blending families in the spotlight.
