Heartbreaking reason David and Victoria Beckham have stopped following their son Brooklyn
Cruz Beckham has responded to reports about a family feud with a very short but clear message.
The 20-year-old shared a screenshot of a Daily Mail headline suggesting his parents, Victoria and David Beckham, had unfollowed his older brother, Brooklyn, on social media. Cruz called the report “not true” and pushed back on claims about how his family interact online.
In his post, Cruz wrote that his parents would never unfollow their son and explained that “they woke up blocked…as did I.”
The comments from Cruz come after Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, unfollowed his parents on Instagram. The situation has unfolded publicly with various family members choosing to follow or unfollow one another at different times.

There have been earlier signs the family may still be looking for peace. Victoria recently mentioned that her mother had hung Christmas stockings for all family members including Brooklyn.
Cruz also posted throwback photos of himself with his brothers before the festive season, and shared emotional messages on social media about talking through problems.
How Cruz addressed the social media claims
Cruz reacted quickly to the Daily Mail article by posting a screenshot of the headline on his own social account.
The original headline read: "David and Victoria Beckham UNFOLLOW estranged son Brooklyn, 26, as it’s revealed he’ll spend Christmas with wife Nicola Peltz’s billionaire parents amid family feud".
Cruz labelled that report “not true” and added: "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked…as did I." His response was short but direct.
Brooklyn and Nicola are currently not following his parents on Instagram. Previously in July, the couple had also unfollowed Cruz and his brother Romeo.

Family tensions and previous comments
Tensions between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckham family are said to have begun in 2022 over Nicola’s choice of wedding dress designer. The disagreement has continued through 2025 with Brooklyn missing significant family events such as his parents' birthday celebrations and the Inter Miami match where David’s club won the MLS Cup.
Brooklyn previously spoke to the Daily Mail, saying: "There's always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife. Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we're happy. Everyone is always going to say rubbish."
Victoria also spoke publicly about the situation on the Call Her Daddy podcast and said: "I mean, we're such a close family and, you know, communication is key and we always let them know that anything that they want to talk about, you know, this is a safe forum. You know, that's really important." Despite all the public attention, Romeo Beckham has not publicly commented on the saga.
