Beckham Family Feud Intensifies as David, Victoria and Brooklyn Unfollow Each Other on Instagram

The famously tight-knit Beckham family is once again at the center of public attention, after eagle-eyed fans noticed a dramatic shift on Instagram. David Beckham and Victoria Beckham no longer follow their eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, and he has also unfollowed them in return. The digital disconnect extends further, with Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham no longer following Romeo or Cruz Beckham—and vice versa.

In the age of social media, unfollowing is often seen as a modern-day snub, and for a family as image-conscious as the Beckhams, the move has only intensified speculation about a long-simmering feud.

Cruz Beckham Pushes Back on the Narrative

The situation quickly sparked headlines, prompting Cruz Beckham to address the controversy directly. Sharing a screenshot of a news article on his Instagram Stories, Cruz claimed the story was being misrepresented.

“NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… They woke up blocked — as did I,” he wrote, suggesting that the unfollowing may have occurred due to blocks rather than a mutual decision.

A spokesperson for Victoria Beckham echoed this clarification, stating Cruz Beckham was responding to claims that David and Victoria had unfollowed Brooklyn Peltz Beckham—insisting that was not the case.

Roots of the Rift: The Nicola Peltz Wedding Fallout

Rumors of tension within the Beckham family have circulated since Brooklyn married Nicola Peltz in 2022 in a lavish Palm Beach ceremony. What should have been a joyous milestone reportedly became the starting point of deeper divisions.

Speculation has centered on alleged friction between Victoria Beckham and Nicola, including claims that Nicola chose not to wear a Victoria-designed wedding gown. Other reports suggest emotions ran high when Victoria allegedly interrupted a planned wedding dance between Brooklyn and Nicola—claims that sources have both confirmed and denied over time.

Absences That Spoke Volumes

The strain became more visible in 2025 when Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration, despite being invited. While rumors pointed to tensions involving Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend, those claims were later dismissed by Cruz and other sources.

Still, the absence fueled the perception of distance—especially as the rest of the family gathered publicly, reinforcing the contrast.

Social media has become a subtle battleground. Brooklyn previously shared a post declaring he would “always choose” Nicola, while Cruz countered with a heartfelt tribute to his parents, praising their unconditional love. The posts appeared carefully timed—and deeply personal.

Sources close to the family say Brooklyn feels torn. While he remains devoted to his wife, insiders describe his relationship with David as complicated, sometimes feeling more “business-like” than emotional.

Despite the very public unfollowing saga, sources insist the Beckham family rift is not beyond repair. David and Victoria are said to be hurt but still deeply love their son, holding out hope for reconciliation.

For now, however, the Instagram silence speaks loudly—turning a private family struggle into a global spectacle watched by millions.
