In a surprising social media twist, David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly ceased following their oldest son, Brooklyn, on Instagram. This development comes in the wake of reports that Brooklyn plans to spend the Christmas holidays with his wife Nicola Peltz’s family, a decision that has allegedly left his parents feeling more distant than ever.

According to The Sun, the famous couple’s move to unfollow Brooklyn marks a significant strain in the family dynamics as the festive season approaches. Brooklyn, who is 26 years old, has also unfollowed his parents on the popular photo-sharing platform, further fueling speculation about a deeper rift.

Yet, the narrative took another turn when Brooklyn’s younger brother, 20-year-old Cruz Beckham, took to Instagram Stories on Saturday to contest the unfolding drama. Cruz firmly denied the claims, asserting that the story was inaccurate and instead revealed that he, along with David and Victoria, had been ‘blocked’ by Brooklyn.

“NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son,” Cruz declared emphatically. “Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I,” he clarified, shedding light on a more complex picture of the family’s social media interactions.

‘NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I,’ Cruz wrote.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Brooklyn for comment on Cruz’s claims. 

It is the most public sign yet that there has is no communication between them amid their spiraling family feud. 

Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 30, also does not follow David and Victoria. They no longer follow her either. 

The move comes after Brooklyn’s friends told Daily Mail in July that his brothers Cruz and Romeo had blocked both him and his wife Nicola on the social media platform.

The devastated parents, who are said to be feeling their eldest son’s absence more than ever as Christmas looms, allegedly removed Brooklyn from their followers list, according to The Sun

Daily Mail exclusively revealed how Brooklyn has snubbed his family’s attempts at reconciliation in the run up to the festive period as he will spend this Christmas with Nicola and her family in Miami, Florida.

A source said: ‘Brooklyn and Nicola decided they would be spending this Christmas with her family. Her parents are really excited to have them.’

Brooklyn and Nicola arrived in Miami earlier this week, with the hot sauce owner posing for a picture with her brother Bradley in the back garden of the incredible Palm Beach mansion.

His decision to spend Christmas with his in-laws will come as a blow to his parents and siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14.

In recent weeks, David has appeared to offer a public olive branch to his son, in an apparent bid to put an end to their very public family feud. 

The former footballer had shared a throwback picture of himself with Brooklyn and his younger brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20.

Cruz also made sure his brother knew he was thinking of him by sharing a sweet snap of the pair with brother Romeo on the beach in Brazil.

Brooklyn was seen wrapping his arm around his youngest brother Cruz as they posed on the beach.

Relations between Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckham clan unraveled completely when they did not attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May. Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father’s knighthood in November. 

Last week, Daily Mail revealed how Brooklyn’s nans are devastated they won’t be seeing their grandson this Christmas. 

Victoria had shared a festive picture from her parents Jackie and Tony Adams’ house as they placed twelve stockings in a row on their fireplace, one for each grandchild. In pride of place was one reserved for Brooklyn. 

The family feud has taken a particularly acute toll on Jackie, as well as David’s mother Sandra.

Some argue that hanging up Brooklyn’s stocking, regardless of the feud, is a sign of hope on Jackie’s part that – somehow, despite everything – Christmas might finally persuade her grandson to put aside his grudges and step on a plane to rejoin the family.  

Friends of the Beckhams say Jackie and Sandra are ‘extremely sad’ about the situation.

The source added: ‘They’re not getting any younger and the cold truth of it all is that nobody knows when they will see Brooklyn next. It’s Jackie and Sandra who everyone feels so sorry for.’  

David and Victoria will spend some of the festive period in the £60million home they recently bought on Miami’s waterfront. 

It was where they were joined last year by Brooklyn and Nicola, and photographs of their Christmas celebrations show everyone having what appeared to be a lovely time. 

Victoria is believed to be working hard to put on a brave face and stay strong for her husband and teenage daughter Harper, 14.
