Cruz Beckham shares hope for reconciling with brother Brooklyn as he sends loving birthday message



Cruz Beckham said he hopes to repair his fractured relationship with his older sibling Brooklyn Beckham while chatting with TMZ on Wednesday in Paris, France.

The singer, 21, wished the media personality, who turned 27 that same day, a happy birthday on camera, four years after rumors of a familial strife began swirling in 2022.

However, Cruz, who is currently on tour with his band Cruz Beckham & The Breakers, dodged questions about whether or not the two had recently spoken.

The artist thanked the reporter before crossing the street alongside his girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

Cruz and Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham, acknowledged Brooklyn’s special day on social media Wednesday, despite their estranged son’s no-contact ban.

“27 today 🥹 Happy birthday Bust 🤍. We love you x,” the athlete wrote on his Instagram Story beneath a picture of himself, the fashion designer and Brooklyn in a pool.

The Spice Girls member, 51, re-posted that same shot to her own Instagram Story, writing, “Happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much ❤️.”

David, 50, also posted a black-and-white pic of him with Brooklyn as a child, while Victoria added an image of her playing with their eldest child to her Story.

Brooklyn spent the day with his wife, Nicola Peltz, with the model showing off her display of gold balloons, flowers, presents and a box of pink donuts that spelled out “Happy Birthday, Brooklyn” via Instagram.

“Wow, that’s cool,” he gushed while eyeing his treats.

“You have to make a wish,” Nicola replied.

“Happy birthday, I love you,” she added. “I hope your wishes come true.”

“Aw, this is so sweet,” Brooklyn noted.

The British star’s birthday come two months after he allegedly asked his parents to only contact him through a lawyer.

At the time, the Daily Mail revealed that the aspiring chef reportedly said he also didn’t want David or Victoria to make public statements about him on social media.

“David was told to speak to them via [law firm] Schillings,” a source expressed to the outlet. “That was the only way for them to communicate.”

The Beckham family drama took a turn in January after Brooklyn wrote a scathing series of Instagram Stories declaring that he did not want to reconcile with his family, which includes Cruz, brother Romeo, 23, and sister Harper, 14.

He alleged that Victoria and David have tried to ruin his marriage to Nicola.

The couple tied the knot in 2022, with Brooklyn claiming that his mom “hijacked” his and the “Bates Motel” actress’s first dance and “cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour.”

David and Victoria have not publicly addressed the allegations, though Brooklyn’s siblings have tried to publicly make amends.

In February, Cruz posted a series of throwback shots with his brothers.

Then, on Valentine’s Day, Harper posted a shot of herself and three brothers, writing, “I love you all so much words can’t describe it.”

But despite the siblings’ kindness online, Brooklyn previously covered up his tattoo tributes to the Beckham brood.

The “Cookin’ With Brooklyn” star used to have Romeo, Cruz and Harper’s names on his fingers. In January, however, eagle-eyed fans noticed the ink is no longer visible.

Instead, Brooklyn is sporting a cloudy black-and-white design on the spot.

Despite having more than 70 tattoos in honor of Nicola, 31, the British entrepreneur also covered up his tribute to his parents.

Brooklyn replaced the word “DAD” in an anchor on his right arm with a starfish and life preservers. Now, a floral design covers up the “mama’s boy” on his chest.

Brooklyn has also appeared to have covered a “Mum” tattoo on his shoulders with a flower and dragon artwork.




Victoria Beckham Has A Short And Sweet Message For Brooklyn Amid Fall-Out Drama


Victoria Beckham has joined her husband Sir David in wishing their son Brooklyn a happy birthday, despite their eldest child no longer being on speaking terms with them.

Across several social media posts, he accused them of “performative” and “controlling” behaviour over the course of his “entire life”, as well as claiming that they had tried “endlessly” to “ruin” his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.

Neither Sir David nor Victoria has commented publicly on Brooklyn’s claims, but on Wednesday, the football legend shared an old family photo to commemorate his son’s 27th birthday.

After reposting her husband’s message, the former Spice Girls star then shared one of her own, writing alongside an old photo of herself and her son: “Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn, I love you so much.”

The morning after Brooklyn’s social media post confirming the fall-out, Sir David made an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he dodged numerous questions about the family drama.

During a subsequent interview, he made a timely comment about social media use among young people, explaining: “I’ve tried [with] my children to educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.

“That’s what I try to teach my kids. But you know, you have to sometimes let them make those mistakes as well.”

In the weeks before Brooklyn’s posts, it had been reported in the press that Sir David and Victoria had unfollowed him on Instagram, to which his brother Cruz Beckham made a public statement in retaliation.

“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son,” he insisted, before alleging: “They woke up blocked… as did I.”

A representative for Victoria also told People magazine around this time that it was “not true” that she had unfollowed Brooklyn.




David and Victoria Beckham’s tragic reality as Brooklyn celebrates birthday


The Beckhams have been rocked by a family rift that escalated with Brooklyn’s bombshell statement at the turn of the year

The feud ripping through the heart of the Beckhams makes it likely that David and Victoria will not be able to wish their son, Brooklyn, a happy birthday this year. Brooklyn, who turns 27 on Wednesday, caused a stir with a stunning statement he released in January.

After months of speculation about the state of the family’s relations, the couple’s eldest revealed his side of the story with a bombshell message via social media.

The Manchester United idol and former Spice Girl also reportedly received a lawyer’s letter from Brooklyn and wife, Nicola Peltz, last summer. It’s believed to have asked David and Victoria to cease communication with the pair and to even avoid mentioning them on social media.

The correspondence was merely a request and isn’t believed to have led to any action yet. However, Brooklyn has also blocked his parents online.

The strong actions taken by the 27-year-old could mean that David and Victoria will not be able to deliver any birthday messages to their estranged son, with various channels shut off for now. The rift came to a head after Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend the former England captain’s 50th celebrations in London back in May 2025.

The shocking post on Brooklyn’s Instagram that followed months later claimed his superstar parents have been attempting to “ruin” his relationship with Nicola since they wed in April 2022. The post also alleged that he’s been subject to “relentless attacks” from them in the press.

The statement read: “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

“The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”

David and Victoria have yet to publicly respond to their son’s earth-shattering remarks. However, David confessed in a post marking Brooklyn’s 26th birthday last year that he yearned to see his firstborn son.

The former Real Madrid star wrote: “Happy Birthday Bust x we love you so much have the best day lots of cake and hot sauce, we miss you.”

The photograph depicted a young Brooklyn making silly facial expressions with his father. The 50-year-old even tagged his son and various other relatives in his message.
