Cruz Beckham has publicly denied rumors that David and Victoria Beckham unfollowed their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, instead claiming that Brooklyn was the one who blocked the family on Instagram. The clarification came after online speculation intensified around an alleged family feud, sparked by changes in social media activity and a series of high-profile absences from major family events.
On Saturday, December 20, Cruz Beckham took to Instagram Stories to shut down reports suggesting his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn. “Not true. My mom and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right,” the 20-year-old wrote. He then added a surprising claim: “They woke up blocked as did I,” directly accusing Brooklyn of cutting off his parents and siblings on social media.
As of December 21, Brooklyn Beckham appeared not to be following any members of his immediate family on Instagram, nor were they following him. His wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, also did not appear to follow David, Victoria, or Brooklyn’s siblings, and the lack of mutual follows extended in the opposite direction as well. Despite the growing attention, Brooklyn, 26, has not publicly responded to his brother’s comments.
David and Victoria Beckham have also remained silent publicly, though a spokesperson for Victoria addressed the situation, explaining that Cruz was responding to inaccurate reports claiming the couple had unfollowed their son. According to the spokesperson, those claims were untrue.
Rumors of tension within the Beckham family have circulated throughout the year. Speculation grew after Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in May, followed by their decision to renew their wedding vows over the summer without any Beckham family members present. The couple’s absence from the launch event for Victoria Beckham’s Netflix documentary in October further fueled online discussion, as the rest of the family attended.
Despite these absences, Victoria Beckham publicly acknowledged Brooklyn during her speech at the documentary screening, mentioning all of her children by name before thanking her husband. While the family has not directly addressed the broader feud rumors, Cruz’s statement has added a new layer to the narrative — shifting focus from unfollows to alleged blocks, and leaving fans watching closely for any response from Brooklyn or Nicola.
