Hana Cross Reportedly Approached for Explosive Beckham Family Tell-All Book
Brooklyn Beckham's former girlfriend, model Hana Cross, has reportedly been asked to feature in a revealing tell-all book about the Beckham family. The book, which is due for release in August, is said to be an "eye-watering" account of the family's saga, with the working title Brand Beckham and the subtitle The Fame, the Feuds, the Fallout.
Beckhams Aware of Book Approaches
Estranged parents Victoria and David Beckham are reportedly aware that relatives, acquaintances, and confidants have been approached to share stories for the publication. One source told The Sun: "The Beckhams won't be happy. Some of their once-closest allies have been contacted. Even members of their family have had a knock on the shoulder to see if they'll talk."
The source added: "And Brooklyn's ex Hana Cross has been contacted directly, but as yet, she isn't talking." The Daily Mail has contacted Hana's representative for comment.
Background of Hana Cross and Brooklyn Beckham's Relationship
Hana Cross dated Brooklyn Beckham for nearly a year between 2018 and 2019, during which she was a regular at high-profile family events. The couple first met through the fashion business, with Brooklyn as a budding fashion photographer after dropping out of a course at the renowned Parsons School of Art in New York, and Hana as an established model who had won a competition run by New Look.
Their relationship included public appearances such as the British Fashion Awards afterparty in December 2018, Christmas and New Year with the Beckhams, and a Valentine's Day trip to Paris in 2019, where Brooklyn shared a photo with the caption: "Me and my girl. Luckiest man in the world. Love you baby." Hana reciprocated with: "Thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world. I love you! Happy Valentine's Day xx."
Tensions and Split
However, tensions arose, including a bust-up in March 2019 after watching Yungblud perform in London, where a witness described Brooklyn getting into a row with Hana after drinking. It was also reported that one source of friction was Brooklyn's refusal to have Hana sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which his parents had wanted.
The couple adopted a Pomeranian puppy named Soho, but after rows at the Cannes film festival in May, they finally split in July 2019. Reports suggested Victoria and David were delighted and had quietly suggested Brooklyn end the relationship months earlier. Brooklyn reportedly had a fling with Rita Ora after the split.
Hana Cross's Post-Breakup Life
After the split, Hana released a single that appeared to refer to the relationship, with lyrics such as: "I wish that someone told me you had a habit for dishonesty - though you break my heart, I want to stay." She later dated Jude Law's son Rafferty and comedian Jack Whitehall.
Brooklyn Beckham's Statement on Family Rift
In a detailed statement, Brooklyn Beckham addressed ongoing family conflicts, stating: "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."
He accused his parents of controlling narratives, trying to ruin his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz, and prioritizing "Brand Beckham" over family. Specific allegations included:
- Victoria cancelling Nicola's wedding dress design at the last minute.
- Pressure to sign away rights to his name before his wedding.
- Being called "evil" for including grandparents at the wedding table.
- Family members telling him Nicola was "not blood" and "not family."
- Victoria hijacking his first dance with Nicola at the wedding.
- Refusal to see him unless Nicola was excluded during a visit to London.
Brooklyn concluded: "My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
Implications of the Tell-All Book
The approaching of Hana Cross for the tell-all book adds another layer to the public scrutiny of the Beckham family dynamics. With the book set for release in August, it promises to delve into the fame, feuds, and fallout that have characterized the family's high-profile life. Whether Hana will contribute remains uncertain, but the mere possibility has already sparked media attention and speculation about what secrets might be revealed.
