Cruz Beckham extended an olive branch to his brother Brooklyn on Wednesday by posting a heartfelt birthday message on Instagram, despite their recent tensions.
Over six weeks after making a surprising statement, Cruz joined the rest of the Beckham family in publicly acknowledging Brooklyn’s birthday.
Though he was the last family member to offer his wishes, Cruz conveyed his affection to Brooklyn with an “I love you” message and an adorable childhood photo of the two siblings.
Interestingly, Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge Cruz’s 21st birthday, which occurred last week.
David and Victoria Beckham were the first to send their birthday greetings to Brooklyn, emphasizing their deep love and affection for their son.
Sharing childhood photos of Brooklyn and tagging his wife Victoria, David used his childhood nickname for his son, Buster, as he wrote ’27 today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you x’
Minutes later Victoria shared the same photo and wrote ‘happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much’, before uploading a photo of herself laughing with her son with a string of love hearts.

Brooklyn’s brother Romeo, 23, posted his own childhood throwback snap with his sibling on Wednesday afternoon, but didn’t include a caption.
His grandparents –Â Ted and Hilary Beckham – also posted pictures in honour of Brooklyn’s birthday and included photos of his wife Nicola.
Alongside the snaps, they wrote: ‘Happy birthday Brooklyn. Hope you have a fabulous day. With love from Grandad and Hilary.’Â
The most recent reports suggest Brooklyn is on speaking terms with his grandfather Ted and his wife Hilary, even though he remains estranged from his parents. He’s reportedly been in regular contact with them.
The family’s olive branch was swept aside on Wednesday evening as Brooklyn finally broke his Instagram silence – to thank his wife for sharing a gushing post.
The cooking influencer was given another opportunity to reconnect with his estranged family after his parents attempted to build bridges with their eldest son by sharing a series of birthday tributes.
But while he failed to acknowledge their nostalgic throwback photos, birthday messages and repeated use of his affectionate nickname – Buster – he wasted no time in responding to Nicola Peltz.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday evening, the American actress, 31, shared a photo of herself alongside her husband in a room decorated with celebratory balloons.
Captioning the post, she wrote: ‘Happy birthday baby… I hope all your dreams and wishes come true! you light up every room you walk into and anyone who knows you loves you… you’re the most special human and I love being your wife. I love you I love you I love you.’
Responding to her birthday tribute, he wrote: ‘I love you baby girl.’
Nicola appeared to have something special up her sleeve for Brooklyn, with the actress gifting him a box of twenty one personalised iced cakes, individually shaped to read ‘Happy Birthday Brooklyn.’
Despite his bombshell statement that he shared over six weeks ago, the whole Beckham family have publicly reached out to Brooklyn on his birthdayÂ

The influencer was also confronted by a mountain of gifts, thoughtfully presented in Cloud 23 wrapping paper – a reference to his popular hot sauce brand, ironically named after his father’s shirt number at Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy.
‘Make a wish!’ she trills as he tucks into his first cake, adding: ‘I love you. I hope your wishes come true.’
Now based in the United States with his actress wife Nicola, Brooklyn recently outlined his desire to distance himself from his family in a six-page Instagram statement filled with lurid allegations.
Addressing social media followers in January, he claimed his parents had tried to sabotage his marriage and have always prioritised public branding over their family relationships.
‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,’ he wrote.
‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.’
He added: ‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’
Unlike his three younger siblings, Brooklyn did not appear in his mother’s recent Netflix docuseries, nor did he show up at the October premiere as he and Nicola had for the London premiere of his father’s docuseries in 2023.
Brooklyn and his wife also missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations last May, and were notably absent at Windsor Castle for the former footballer’s long-awaited investiture on November 4.
Brooklyn’s brother youngest brother Cruz has so far remained quiet on social media on his sibling’s birthday. Victoria’s sister Louise Adams has posted, though, sharing a sweet photo of her daughter Libby alongside a baby Brooklyn.Â
It’s not David’s first Instagram olive branch. On New Year’s Eve, in another attempt to resolve their ongoing estrangement, he included a photo of a teenage Brooklyn in his round-up of family photos. He captioned the image: ‘I love you all so much.’ Â

Further shots he shared included the retired footballer with sons Romeo, Cruz and daughter Harper, while a final image featured wife Victoria and all four of their children, with the caption: ‘You are my life.’
The post was promptly re-shared by wife Victoria, 51, who accompanied the image of Sir David and Brooklyn with an affectionate love heart.
Brooklyn’s birthday celebrations come just two weeks after the Beckham family celebrated Cruz, who enjoyed several fun-filled bashes to mark his milestone 21st.Â
David and Victoria first threw their youngest son a lavish party at The MAINE in Mayfair last month, ahead of Cruz’s big day on February 20, complete with a luxury three-course meal.
The whole Beckham clan – minus Brooklyn – turned out for the occasion, including siblings Romeo, 23, and Harper, 14; maternal grandparents Tony and Jackie; aunt Joanne and paternal gran, Sandra.
Victoria, Harper, and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, brought him to tears with a heartwarming speech during the bash.
David led the birthday tributes to ‘kind, considerate and fiercely loyal’ son Cruz, with the former footballer sharing an Instagram post that said almost as much about his estrangement from his eldest child Brooklyn as it did his relationship with his youngest.
The retired Manchester United and England footballer was among the first family members to post birthday messages for the young musician.
But Brooklyn’s decision to cut ties with his immediate family so publicly appeared to be weighing on David’s mind as he shared video footage of Cruz as a child.
‘Happy 21st birthday to my little boy,’ he wrote. ‘Not so little anymore but the proudest thing that I am of you is the person and man that you have become, you are kind, considerate and fiercely loyal to your family, friends and everyone around you which makes you a very special person.
‘You are on your own journey in life and you are working hard and having fun which is what life is all about… We love you Cruzie and hope you have the most amazing day because you deserve to.’
