Cruz Beckham Addresses Family Rumors
In a recent turn of events, Cruz Beckham has taken to social media to clarify rumors surrounding alleged tensions within the Beckham family. The speculation arose after reports suggested that his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, unfollowed their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, on Instagram. Cruz, however, set the record straight, asserting that Brooklyn had actually blocked them first.
Setting the Record Straight
On December 20, Cruz Beckham utilized his Instagram Story to directly address the swirling rumors. He emphatically stated, “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right.” This bold declaration aimed to dispel any misconceptions about the family dynamics. Cruz further elaborated, revealing that not only Brooklyn had blocked their parents, but he himself had also been blocked.
The Current Instagram Landscape
As of December 21, an interesting dynamic has emerged on Instagram. Brooklyn Beckham does not follow any immediate family members, including his parents and siblings—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Beckham. In a reciprocal move, the rest of the Beckham family also does not follow Brooklyn. Adding another layer to this social media saga, Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, is similarly not following David or Victoria Beckham, nor does she follow Brooklyn’s siblings.
Lack of Public Response
Despite Cruz’s clarifications, Brooklyn Beckham has yet to publicly respond to his brother’s claims. Similarly, David and Victoria Beckham have remained silent on the matter. However, a spokesperson for Victoria Beckham confirmed to PEOPLE that Cruz’s comments were a direct response to the unfounded stories circulating online, reiterating that the claims about unfollowing were false.
Cruz’s Stand Against Misinformation
Cruz Beckham’s proactive approach to addressing the rumors highlights his desire to prevent misleading narratives from gaining traction. He shared screenshots of various media reports, including one from the Daily Mail, to emphasize the inaccuracies in the stories being circulated. According to Cruz, the family only became aware of the situation when they discovered they had been blocked, rather than unfollowed.
Previous Speculations of Family Tensions
This incident is not the first time the Beckham family has faced scrutiny regarding their internal relationships. Back in May, an insider revealed to E! News that tensions may have surfaced during Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s wedding in April 2022. The situation reportedly became awkward when Marc Anthony, who was expected to perform their first dance, instead directed attention to Victoria Beckham, saying, “Let’s hear it from the most beautiful woman in the room.” This moment reportedly added to the speculation about underlying family issues.
The Impact of Social Media on Family Dynamics
The current situation underscores the complexities of family relationships in the age of social media. With platforms like Instagram serving as both a personal diary and a public stage, misunderstandings can easily escalate into public controversies. Cruz Beckham’s intervention serves as a reminder of the importance of clear communication, especially in a family that is often in the spotlight.
As the Beckham family navigates these challenges, it remains to be seen how they will address the ongoing speculation and whether Brooklyn will choose to respond to his brother’s clarifications. The dynamics of celebrity families often provide a fascinating glimpse into the interplay between public perception and private realities, and the Beckham family is no exception.
