Cruz Beckham appears to take another swipe at brother Brooklyn following Nicola Peltz’s Venice appearance

Cruz Beckham has made another post some have interpreted as a hit out at his older brother Brooklyn.

The feud between the Beckhams has been evident for some time now as Brooklyn has accused his parents David and Victoria of trying to control his life, 'ruin' his relationship with his wife and put their brand above him.

He even made reference to it in an advert for the 2026 World Cup where he joked about a 'long story' being the reason he was watching it at home, having said he 'does not want to reconcile'.

One of Brooklyn's fiercer critics among the ranks of the Beckham family is his brother Cruz, who has accused Brooklyn of making things up and firmly sided with his parents in the feud.

Yesterday he posted a family photo with the love heart emoji and since there was one very notable absence it's been interpreted as a swipe at Brooklyn by some fans.

Perhaps it is, but given they're not on speaking terms if Cruz Beckham wants to post a family photo then it's going to have to be without Brooklyn.

Some of his followers decided they didn't want him to feel left out and tagged him in the post comments, though others suggested Cruz had 'posted this after photos appeared of Brooklyn & Nicola in Venice'.

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were pictured at the Venice Film Festival, leading some to wonder if Cruz was posting his happy family picture in response to that.

Others just quipped 'some people don't know what they're missing'.

Timeline of the Beckham family feud

April 2022: Brooklyn and Nicola tie the knot

On 9 April 2022, Brooklyn and Nicola got married in a lavish ceremony in front of 500 guests at her family's estate in Palm Beach, Florida, two years after getting engaged.

Aug 2022: The first reports of a feud between Nicola and Victoria Beckham

Just months after the wedding, media sources were starting to report on a 'full-on cold war' between Nicola and her new mum-in-law.

According to Page Six, 'the build-up to the wedding was horrendous' and they 'can’t stand each other and don’t talk'.

Reports also claimed much of the feud came from Nicola's decision to wear a Valentino wedding dress instead of a piece designed by Victoria's fashion house, but they appeared to quash these rumours.

March 2023: The Beckhams play happy families

In March 2023, the Beckhams seemed to be happier than ever and were posing for photos at Victoria's Paris fashion show.

April 2025: The family rift resurfaces

Two years on, it was reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had snubbed David's 50th birthday party at Cipriani Downtown Miami.

And then, just days later, TMZ claimed that Brooklyn and brother Romeo weren't speaking due to a fallout over Romeo's girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who had a 'romantic connection' with Brooklyn 'several years ago'.

Cruz later insisted that Brooklyn and Kim had never actually dated, and in May of 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola were nowhere to be seen as the birthday celebrations for David continued.

July 2025: Mass unfollowing on social media

In July 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola unfollowed Romeo and Cruz and vice versa.

August 2025: David and Victoria miss vow renewals

The following month, David and Victoria are reported not to have attended the Peltz-Beckham vow renewals.

And by December that year, it was reported that Brooklyn no longer followed his parents, and they no longer followed him, and the youngest brother was quick to set the record straight.

Dec 2025: Cruz speaks out

Cruz wrote on his Instagram Stories about the claims that he and his family had unfollowed Brooklyn: "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I."

Jan 2026: Brooklyn takes legal action

In January 2026, it was claimed that Brooklyn sent a legal letter to his parents, insisting they only contact him via his lawyer; a rule which Victoria is believed to have broken when she 'liked' an Instagram post he made about a roast chicken.

Jan 2026: Brooklyn breaks silence on family feud

In a shock statement posted on his Instagram Stories on 19 January, Brooklyn made some bombshell claims about his family, which included how his parents have tried to 'ruin' his relationship with Nicola, have always 'controlled' his life, and how 'Brand Beckham' comes first before anything else.

March 2026: David reaches out to Brooklyn

David shared a post to celebrate Brooklyn’s birthday, writing: "27 Today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you."

He shared an old photo of Brooklyn as a child and tagged Victoria, but was unable to tag Brooklyn since his son has blocked him.

The post was met with stony silence from Brooklyn.

June 2026: Harper turns up at Brooklyn’s door

Harper, Brooklyn’s 14-year-old sister and the Beckhams’ youngest child, was photographed outside Brooklyn’s door hand-delivering a letter. Brooklyn and Nicola were believed to be in New York at the time.

A rep for the Peltz-Beckhams savagely responded: "That photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all - this was choreographed for the cameras."

Meanwhile, Brooklyn releases a DoorDash World Cup ad clearly taking a swipe at his family. He says in the commercial: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home. It’s a long story."
