Social media move sparks new fallout
Brooklyn Beckham has blocked his immediate family on social media following a seemingly minor online interaction that escalated an already-strained relationship. Reports say the 26-year-old reacted angrily after his mother, Victoria Beckham, liked one of his Instagram posts showing him preparing a roast chicken and discussing his cooking technique.
The public show of support from Victoria reportedly upset Brooklyn, who is said to prefer handling family matters privately rather than through social platforms.
Who was blocked and what it means
Within hours of the post, Brooklyn had blocked his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, as well as his siblings Romeo, Cruz, and his 14-year-old sister Harper. As a result, they are unable to view any content he shares from Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife, actor Nicola Peltz.
The move initially led to speculation that David and Victoria had unfollowed their son, a claim later disputed by Cruz.
Cruz addresses the rumors directly
Cruz Beckham broke the family’s silence with a blunt Instagram post, rejecting reports that his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn. He wrote that the claims were false and insisted his parents would never take such a step.
He added that they had all discovered they were blocked instead, marking the first time any member of the Beckham family publicly acknowledged the dispute.

Family said to be devastated
According to sources close to the family, David and Victoria are deeply affected by the situation, particularly with tensions unfolding during the holiday season. The rift is described as unexpected and painful, with hopes of reconciliation fading as weeks pass.
Cruz and Romeo are reportedly angry about what they see as a public escalation of a private matter, while Brooklyn is said to want any resolution kept out of the spotlight, despite his actions drawing further attention.
The feud stretches back months
Brooklyn’s distance from his family dates back to early 2025. He skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in May and was absent from his father’s knighthood ceremony at Windsor Castle. The Beckhams also did not attend when Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows in August.
The family has not been photographed together since Boxing Day last year, underscoring how long the divide has remained unresolved.
