Cruz Beckham has broken his social media silence to defend his parents David and Victoria after his older brother Brooklyn appeared to take a swipe at them.
The 20-year-old rushed to Instagram with a heartfelt message just hours after Brooklyn declared he was “choosing” his wife Nicola Peltz amid an ongoing family feud.
The public display of family loyalty comes as tensions between the Beckham siblings have reportedly escalated in recent months.
Brooklyn, 26, shared a video on Instagram showing himself and Nicola, 30, riding a red motorcycle through California, where they now live.
The couple were seen speeding around palm tree-lined streets with Nicola’s arms wrapped tightly around Brooklyn.
He captioned the short clip: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.”
The bold message has been interpreted as the latest sign of growing tensions within the Beckham family.
In an apparent response to his brother’s post, Cruz took to Instagram with a message that seemed to defend his parents.
He wrote: “I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.”
The post appeared to be a direct counter to Brooklyn’s declaration, with Cruz emphasising the importance of family bonds and particularly highlighting his gratitude towards David and Victoria.
Interestingly, Cruz’s post included a family photo that featured Brooklyn, despite his brother’s apparent distancing from the family.
The picture was reportedly taken at Paris Fashion Week, an event Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend as the rest of the family gathered to support Victoria.

The family feud has intensified following Brooklyn and Nicola’s notable absences from recent family celebrations.
The couple reportedly missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations in both Miami and London earlier this month, as well as Victoria’s 50th birthday celebrations in April.
Despite these tensions, David and Victoria have made attempts to show “no hard feelings” towards their eldest son.
The couple displayed a family photo taken at Victoria’s birthday last year, which included all four of their children, during their appearance at the TIME100 Impact Dinner in New York City.
According to insiders, the origins of the family tensions may predate Brooklyn and Nicola’s lavish Florida wedding in 2022.
Sources told the Daily Mail that Brooklyn and his brother Romeo “have been fighting for a significant amount of time” and “do not get on,” which has been “difficult for David and Victoria.”
The source added: “Things have been terrible for a long time. It has upset their mum and dad so much. All they ever wanted was a big, happy family.”
The feud is also believed to be linked to Romeo’s relationship with Brooklyn’s former love interest Kim Turnbull.
