After literal years of speculation, it seems like the rumored tension between Brooklyn Beckham, his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, and the rest of the Beckham family has reached a boiling point.
For context, David and Victoria Beckham share three sons: Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, along with a 13-year-old daughter named Harper Seven. In 2022, when Brooklyn married Nicola, there were rumors of a big fallout between Nicola and Victoria. And while Nicola denied this was the case, there have since been several signs suggesting that the Peltz Beckhams are still at odds with Brooklyn’s side of the family.
Despite reports from People that there “are tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family,” we don’t have confirmation as to what might actually be going on between the two parties. Some sources claim that the rift stems from a dispute over Nicola and Brooklyn’s wedding, while other insiders have speculated that it may have had something to do with Romeo dating one of Brooklyn’s rumored exes.
But, regardless of what the cause may be, Romeo and Cruz have been hinting that they may not be Brooklyn and Nicola’s biggest fans. In May, the younger Beckham boys appeared to publicly mock Nicola on Instagram, and a few weeks later, Cruz posted a pointed IG tribute to his family, which many interpreted as a dig at Brooklyn’s previous comments about how he will “always choose” his wife.
And now, Cruz seems to have made yet another dig toward his oldest bro — and this time it feels personal.
On Sunday, Cruz, who’s following in his mom’s musical footsteps, uploaded a TikTok video of himself playing guitar and performing an unreleased song, titled “For ya love.” In the comments section, one critic wrote, “Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?” to which Cruz bluntly replied, “Wrong brother mate.”
Now, in case you’ve forgotten, the person’s comment was presumably in reference to the online mockery that Brooklyn has faced over the years for his varied and sometimes short-lived career pursuits.
If you need a reminder, Brooklyn has dabbled in several different career fields, first starting as a hopeful soccer player before stepping back to try his hand at modeling. He then ventured over into the world of photography, memorably releasing a book of photos, called What I See. In 2017, Brooklyn seemed set on photography and began a four-year course at Parsons School of Design. However, he reportedly dropped out after one year, and the next thing we knew, he’d found his true calling as a chef.
And with such a stacked résumé already, Brooklyn recently threw a curveball by unveiling his latest venture in the world of Formula E motor racing, which is presumably what the commenter on Cruz’s post was referring to.
As it stands, Brooklyn has not acknowledged Cruz’s comment, but we’ll be sure to let you know if he does. In the meantime, I think David and Victoria should consider confiscating Cruz’s phone…
