According to Tyla, even though speculation about an ongoing feud has circulated for years, it was only last week that Cruz Beckham, the youngest child of the clan, publicly addressed the situation as the couple were absent from Ramsay-Peaty’s wedding.
On 29 December, the actress posted a cryptic selfie in a black vest with the caption, “Love being home” The post made fans wonder if the couple had spent the holidays being away from the Beckham family.

On Instagram, he clarified that his parents had not unfollowed Brooklyn online, explaining that he and his other siblings, Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14, were the ones who had been removed from Brooklyn’s followers.
“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked – as did I,” Cruz said.

On several occasions, both Nicola and Brooklyn might have left subtle signs that all is not well between them. Both sides posted messages that many claimed were subtle digs.
Brooklyn shared a picture of his tattooed hands holding Nicola’s, captioned ‘My everything,’ while David Beckham shared clips of them dancing to Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb’s 1980 duet “Guilty,” leading some fans to take it as an indirect message to their eldest son and his wife.

While the exact reason behind the alleged fallout remains unknown, according to PEOPLE, there were rumors of creative differences over the wedding dress. Victoria Beckham had offered to make Nicola’s gown, but later her atelier could not accommodate it. Nicola clarified at the time that there was no fight, stating the change was due to logistics, not deliberate personal issues.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn shared a cryptic TikTok post. In the video, he walks through the city to Lady Gaga’s song “Telephone,” featuring the lyrics: “Sorry, I cannot hear you, I’m kinda busy.” Several fans thought it was about him blocking his family on social media.
