A long-suspected rift inside the Beckham household has now played out in public. Brooklyn Beckham has blocked his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, as well as his brothers, on Instagram. The sudden digital disconnect has reignited discussions about long-brewing, deep-seated family tensions.
The move did not go unnoticed. Fans quickly spotted that the famous footballer and fashion designer no longer follows their eldest son. The situation escalated when it emerged that Brooklyn had blocked multiple family members, triggering a wave of speculation across social media.
Cruz Beckham Breaks Silence on Instagram Block
As rumours spread, Cruz Beckham addressed the situation directly. He denied claims that his parents unfollowed Brooklyn intentionally and clarified what really happened.
“NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I,” Cruz wrote.
His statement confirmed that Brooklyn initiated the social media cut-off, adding a new layer to the ongoing family drama.
Nicola Peltz and the Growing Distance
Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, has remained distant from the Beckham family online. She does not follow David or Victoria, and the feeling appears mutual. This separation has fuelled speculation that tensions extend beyond Brooklyn alone.
Observers believe the relationship between Nicola and Victoria Beckham has remained strained since Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in 2022.
Missed Family Events Raise More Questions
The Instagram block follows a series of notable absences. Brooklyn and Nicola skipped several major Beckham family milestones in 2025.
These included David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration, his knighthood ceremony, and the family’s Christmas plans. Brooklyn is reportedly spending the festive season with Nicola’s family instead.
Each absence has added weight to rumours that the family divide is growing wider.
Wedding Disputes That Started It All
Insiders believe the cracks first appeared during Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish wedding. Disagreements reportedly arose over Nicola’s wedding dress choice and moments during the reception.
Over time, these unresolved issues appear to have deepened. Reports now suggest Brooklyn wants a clear apology before considering reconciliation with his mother.
There is also talk that Brooklyn may drop the Beckham surname professionally, choosing to go by “Brooklyn Peltz” instead.
Brooklyn’s Complicated Bond With His Father
Some close to the situation say Brooklyn has long struggled with his relationship with David Beckham. He reportedly feels their bond has sometimes resembled a professional arrangement rather than a traditional father-son relationship.
Despite the tension, Brooklyn remains emotionally torn. He reportedly still values family ties but feels caught between loyalty and personal boundaries.
Is Reconciliation Still Possible?
While the social media block has shocked fans, those familiar with the family believe the situation may not be permanent. Private conversations and time away from public pressure could still help heal the rift.
For now, however, the Beckham family remains divided — both online and offline.
