Cruz Beckham, 20, sparks fury as fans spot ‘childish’ dig at brother Brooklyn’s wife Nicola amid family rift
Romeo and Cruz Beckham have appeared to mock their sister-in-law Nicola Peltz on Instagram, fuelling speculation about an ongoing family feud.
The brothers made what fans believe was a subtle dig at Brooklyn Beckham’s wife in a series of Instagram comments last month. The exchange, which initially went unnoticed by most followers, has resurfaced amid growing tensions within the Beckham family.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the similarity between comments made by Nicola on April 5 and those made by Cruz just two days later.
The apparent mockery comes as Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from David Beckham’s recent 50th birthday celebrations.
On April 5, model Mia Regan shared photos from a POP Magazine shoot on her Instagram. Nicola commented on the post: “So beautiful mia,” followed by a sparkling stars emoji.
Just two days later, on April 7, Romeo posted a selection of photographs on his Instagram page, including images of his current girlfriend Kim Turnbull. Cruz then commented: “So beautiful Romeo,” again, followed by a sparkling stars emoji.

Romeo replied with three “crying with laughter” emojis and now, several followers have made the connection between the two exchanges.
One user directly questioned Cruz: “You copy @nicolaannepeltzbeckham s comment to Mia? Why?”
Another simply described the interaction as “childish.”
The Instagram exchange is just one indication of the ongoing Beckham family feud, which became more apparent during David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations.
David turned 50 on May 2, with festivities spanning multiple locations including Miami, London and France. While David, Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, Harper, and the brothers’ girlfriends attended the celebrations, Brooklyn and Nicola were conspicuously absent.
According to an insider who spoke to Us Weekly, Brooklyn requested a “separate meet-up” with his parents to celebrate his dad’s milestone birthday.
David and Victoria reportedly declined this offer and have “thrown in the towel” over the drama. The source added: “David and Victoria just want to treat everyone the same and approach life like a family.”
There have been separate reports that Nicola allegedly labeled David and Victoria “toxic” and “narcissistic.”
Even during their 2022 wedding, tensions reportedly emerged when Nicola wore gowns from Valentino, Dior and Versace but nothing created by Victoria.
The young couple has reportedly “made themselves available for months and months to discuss all of the ongoing drama.”
However, they are “devastated” that David and Victoria won’t accept Nicola, who “always talks back to them and stands up for Brooklyn.”
The feud has reportedly led Brooklyn to miss at least 11 family occasions. Brooklyn and Nicola skipped Victoria’s 51st birthday last month, opting instead to attend the Coachella music festival.
Neither David nor Victoria posted congratulations online when Brooklyn and Nicola marked their third wedding anniversary.
Sources had claimed that Nicola and Brooklyn had taken issue with the fact Romeo was dating young DJ, Kim Turnbull.
Kim and Brooklyn used to socialise in similar circles and rumours of dating emerged at the time. However, Cruz has spoken out to deny his eldest brother ever dated Kim.
With Romeo now romantically involved with Kim, Nicola and Brooklyn were believed to have questioned Kim’s motives. However, sources close to Kim have accused these reports as “scapegoating” Kim given the real crux of the row lies with Nicola, allegedly.
