Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are once again making headlines—not for a fashion shoot or red carpet appearance, but for what many are seeing as the latest sign of serious tension within the Beckham family.
In a quiet but telling move, the couple have unfollowed Brooklyn’s brothers, Romeo and Cruz, on Instagram—though they still follow his famous parents, David and Victoria.
The decision has left fans speculating about what’s really going on behind the scenes in the Beckham household.
A Birthday Message That Raised Eyebrows
Interestingly, this digital distancing came just a day after Brooklyn shared a sweet birthday tribute to his 14-year-old sister Harper.
The post surprised many, especially given recent rumors that Brooklyn had become distant from his family.
Even Nicola reposted the birthday message—an unexpected move, given the speculation that Brooklyn might not reach out at all.
While the gesture appeared to be a step toward healing, the simultaneous unfollowing of Romeo and Cruz suggests the rift may be far from resolved.
Cruz and Romeo Are No Longer in the Picture
The unfollowing wasn’t just one-sided.
Reports say Brooklyn and Nicola were both unfollowed in return by Cruz and Romeo, indicating a mutual falling out.
The tension with Cruz reportedly stems from subtle online jabs exchanged in recent weeks, while Brooklyn’s strained relationship with Romeo is said to have roots in old rumors surrounding Romeo’s ex, Kim Turnbull.
Kim recently spoke out to clear the air, stating that there was never anything romantic between her and Brooklyn and expressing her frustration with being pulled into family drama over what she says was just a teenage friendship.
Brooklyn’s Silence at Key Family Moments
This isn’t the first time Brooklyn’s absence has raised eyebrows.
He skipped making a public birthday tribute to his father, David Beckham, who turned 50 earlier this year.
Even Victoria’s birthday and their 26th wedding anniversary passed without a peep from their eldest son.
Yet, he did manage to publicly wish his grandmother, Sandra, a happy birthday just weeks later.
Many close to the family believe these continued snubs are part of a growing disconnect, one that seems to be deepened by Brooklyn’s relationship with Nicola.
Nicola’s Role at the Center of the Storm
It’s no secret that Nicola Peltz has been viewed by some as a driving force behind the feud.
Victoria and David reportedly believe she’s isolating Brooklyn from his family.
Nicola, for her part, has been doubling down on showcasing her own family ties—sharing glowing tributes to her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, and posting holiday snaps from luxurious family getaways.
While she hasn’t directly addressed the rift, Nicola has “liked” fan comments defending her and insisting that Brooklyn is an adult capable of making his own choices.
Harper’s Birthday Was a Make-or-Break Moment
According to insiders, Harper’s birthday was a key test for Brooklyn.
Despite the family not knowing whether he’d even acknowledge it, he did post—averting what could’ve been another major blow.
Harper, who reportedly idolizes her older brother, hadn’t seen him since he and Nicola visited London in May without stopping by the family home—just a mile away.
Sources say Victoria was devastated by that snub, especially since Harper is the youngest and most protected member of the family.
Public Appearances, Private Distance
While the Beckhams have carried on with family events and tributes—David tagging Brooklyn in anniversary posts, Victoria sharing throwbacks and heartfelt messages—the lack of response from Brooklyn and Nicola has been glaring.
Despite being in the UK for work with Moncler, the couple skipped David’s birthday party, a trip to France, and a family meal at a top restaurant in Notting Hill.
Even after David was honored with a knighthood, Brooklyn allegedly didn’t reach out and reportedly found out about it through the media.
Denials and Damage Control
A source close to Brooklyn has pushed back on reports claiming he no longer wants contact with his family, calling it an unfair distraction from David’s big moment.
Still, the pattern of missed birthdays, unfollowing family members, and lack of presence at major milestones continues to fuel the idea that all is not well between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckham clan.
The Hope for Reconnection
Despite all the tension, there’s still hope among family friends that the bond between Brooklyn and his siblings—especially Harper—can be rebuilt.
“She’s only 13,” one insider said. “She hasn’t done anything wrong. She just wants her big brother back.”
For now, the public continues to read between the lines of Instagram posts and family tributes, wondering if and when this once-close-knit family will find their way back to each other.
