The simmering tensions within the Beckham family have erupted into a very public and bitter feud, with Brooklyn Beckham taking the drastic step of blocking his entire immediate family on Instagram.
A Social Media Blockade Signals Final Straw
The situation reached a new low over the weekend when Brooklyn, 25, reportedly blocked his parents David and Victoria, along with brothers Romeo and Cruz and even his younger sister Harper, from viewing his social media profiles. The move was confirmed by his brother Cruz Beckham, who took to his own Instagram Stories to set the record straight after reports suggested David and Victoria had unfollowed their son.
Cruz, 20, stated clearly: "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son... Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I." This marks the first time a member of the Beckham family has spoken publicly about the escalating rift.
Nicola Peltz's Telling 'Family' Post
Amid the fallout, Brooklyn's wife, actress and heiress Nicola Peltz, broke her silence with a pointed post on her Instagram. Marking Hanukkah, she shared a photo of her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, with the caption: "Happy Hanukah from our family to yours." The message, shared with her three million followers, was widely interpreted as a signal of where the couple's loyalties currently lie.
The post serves as another blow to the Beckhams, who are now facing the prospect of a Christmas without their eldest son. Instead of joining the family at their £10 million Cotswolds home, Brooklyn and Nicola are expected to spend the festive season with her family in Miami.
A Feud That Has Been Brewing For Years
Sources close to the couple have indicated that Brooklyn and Nicola want the Beckhams to "back off" to allow for peace. A friend of the Peltz Beckhams told the press: "It would be really in the holiday spirit if the Beckhams could just back off and leave them alone for now... They have requested that the Beckhams back off. They just want to be left alone."
The roots of the conflict are believed to stretch back to the planning of the couple's lavish 2022 wedding. Reports of disagreements over financial contributions and control have persisted. The rift visibly widened in 2025 when Brooklyn notably skipped his father David's birthday party in May and later ignored the celebrations surrounding his knighthood. He further compounded the hurt by publicly telling Nicola, "I will always choose you," after missing these key family events.
Tensions reportedly hit a peak when the couple discovered that Brooklyn's ex-girlfriend, who is now dating his brother Romeo, would be at David's birthday bash, leading them to boycott it entirely despite being in London. The final trigger for the social media block, according to reports, was Victoria Beckham liking a post about Brooklyn cooking a roast chicken, an innocent gesture that apparently sparked his annoyance.
An insider suggested the block was a definitive statement: "It appears that Brooklyn has blocked them to show them that's it, this is final. It is very clear that this is a sign of his complete estrangement from his family." With both sides digging in and no reunion planned, the Beckham family faces an uncertain and fractured holiday season.
