With less than two weeks left of the year, the Great Beckham Beef of 2025 continues to reach spice levels far beyond those of Brooklyn Beckham’s hot sauces. Things have been tense amongst the Beckham family ever since Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022 (i.e., the event that spawned at least two lawsuits), followed by a reported tiff over a shared ex-girlfriend and a series of notable absences. While the non-Brooklyn Beckhams have mostly stayed quiet on any and all rumors of a feud between their family unit, this weekend, younger brother Cruz got involved after the Daily Mail claimed that mom and dad (David and Victoria) had unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram.
“NOT TRUE,” the 20-year-old wrote on his Instagram Story above a screenshot of the Daily Mail headline. “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son .. Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I.”
Per “Page Six,” the alleged blocking has something to do with a video of Brooklyn making … shepherd’s pie? Apparently, Victoria liked the video of her eldest son zesting a lemon and salting some mystery meat over the weekend, which caused the comment section to erupt with pleas that Brooklyn allow his mother back into his life. “Your mom likes your post it’s xmas go hug her life is short,” one follower wrote. Another commented: “Your mum is class and she loves ya don’t waist [sic] anytime in loving her back young man ❤️👏”
“For David and Victoria it was their last connection to Brooklyn as he has made it very clear he doesn’t want to talk to them anymore, they haven’t spoken for months and months now,” a source told the Daily Mail of the blockings. “By following him it was a message to him that they still love him and still want to follow his life. Now they can’t do that, but it’s not their doing.”
The only person that appears unbothered by this whole mess is Brooklyn, who continues to post selfie cooking videos of his French onion soup and spicy vodka-sauce gnocchi recipes. As he told the Daily Mail in a September interview, “There’s always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife.” He added, “Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.” Welp, no shepherd’s pie for Christmas this year, I guess.
