Cruz Beckham, 20, recently ignited controversy with a series of now-deleted Instagram Notes. The posts included phrases like “You’re a fraud” and “You’re dead to me,” which appeared to target his brother, Brooklyn Beckham and sister-in-law, Nicola Peltz.
The cryptic messages shared over the weekend of July 26–27, 2025, have sparked renewed speculation about a potential rift within the Beckham family. Although Cruz did not mention anyone by name, fans and observers connected his posts to Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, due to ongoing reports of estrangement. The timing and context of Cruz’s social media activity have intensified public interest in the family’s tensions.
Page Six reported that Cruz’s Instagram Notes included emotionally charged phrases like “Instant karma gonna get you” and a harsh insult directed at an unnamed group. Posted on July 26, 2025, these messages were quickly deleted, but not before screenshots spread online. The posts followed months of subtle online jabs, including Cruz’s sarcastic remarks echoing compliments Nicola once made about their brother Romeo Beckham.
Earlier in 2025, Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration in the UK raised eyebrows. They also failed to acknowledge the event publicly, and mutual Instagram unfollows between the couple and other Beckhams fueled rumours of a fallout.
In May 2025, Brooklyn shared a video tribute to Nicola with the caption “I always choose you,” which some saw as a subtle slight against his family. Hours later, Cruz posted a throwback photo with David, Victoria, Romeo, and Harper, captioned “my rock,” excluding Brooklyn and Nicola. These exchanges have kept the feud in the spotlight.
Beckham-Peltz Tensions
Tensions between Nicola and the Beckham family reportedly began during her 2022 wedding to Brooklyn. Disagreements over wedding preparations, including a rumoured dispute about Victoria Beckham’s role in dress design, set a strained tone. Since then, reports of clashes between Nicola and various family members have persisted, despite Brooklyn’s efforts to support his wife.
Cruz recently liked a fashion campaign post by Brooklyn and Nicola, hinting at possible reconciliation. However, sources indicate that meaningful resolution remains unlikely. Victoria’s upcoming Netflix documentary, set to focus on her life and career, will reportedly feature Romeo, Cruz, and Harper but exclude Brooklyn and Nicola entirely, further highlighting the divide.
