Cruz Beckham has made a subtle but telling intervention in the ongoing public feud between his brother Brooklyn Beckham and their mother, former Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham. The youngest Beckham son was spotted liking a humorous social media post that playfully referenced Brooklyn's explosive claim about Victoria's behaviour at his 2022 wedding to actress Nicola Peltz.
The Explosive Allegation
Earlier this week, Brooklyn Beckham broke his silence on the reported rift with his famous parents, making startling allegations about their conduct at his multi-million-pound Palm Beach wedding. The 26-year-old claimed his mother Victoria "hijacked" his planned romantic first dance with new wife Nicola Peltz.
In a detailed statement, Brooklyn wrote: "In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."
Cruz's Subtle Endorsement
The twenty-year-old Cruz Beckham, often seen as the more private member of the famous family, has now entered the fray through social media activity. He liked a meme that humorously suggested Victoria had requested the 1996 R&B hit 'Pony' by Ginuwine for her controversial dance with Brooklyn.
The meme features a mock wedding DJ announcing: "And now for the song requested by the mother of the groom for her first dance with her son!" before playing the suggestive track. Cruz's social media endorsement of this content suggests he finds humour in the situation, potentially indicating where his sympathies lie in the family dispute.
Corroborating Accounts Emerge
Adding weight to Brooklyn's version of events, a guest who attended the lavish wedding has come forward with supporting testimony. Stavros Agapiou, partner of British DJ Fat Tony, initially commented on an influencer's post about the scandal, writing: "I was there and she did, he's telling the truth."
After deleting that comment, Agapiou posted instead: "Good on him for finally speaking out!" This isn't the first time such claims have surfaced either. Last May, a source told People magazine that Nicola Peltz left the room in tears after Victoria took over the dance.
The Wedding Moment Revisited
According to previous reports, the controversial moment unfolded when family friend Marc Anthony, who performed at the wedding as a gift, called Brooklyn to the stage. Instead of announcing the planned dance with Nicola, Anthony reportedly said: "The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up, Victoria Beckham!"
Another source added: "Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn't understand was why." They claimed to have witnessed "Nicola run from the room crying" following the incident.
Family Fallout and Brand Concerns
The public airing of these grievances has reportedly caused significant distress within the Beckham family. Victoria is said to be "heartbroken" by her son's statement, while father David Beckham is reportedly angry about the situation.
A source close to the family told The Mirror: "Victoria is on the floor, shocked to pieces that her son would do this. Everyone is in shock. But Victoria is totally in pieces over this. She is worried, as is David, that this will be the end of Brand Beckham, with the claims of the falseness and pretend relationships; they are worried about what else he is going to come out with."
Cruz Beckham's subtle social media activity represents the latest development in this unfolding family drama that continues to capture public attention and raise questions about the dynamics within one of Britain's most famous families.
