Beckhams

CRUZ Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostle has revealed her surprise career move – and it could spark rivalry with Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz.

The youngest Beckham boy, 20, has been dating music producer Jackie, 29, for nearly two years.

It comes at a tense time for her boyfriend Cruz and his brother Brooklyn, 26, who was absent from all family occasions in 2025 amid their high-profile feud.

Now things look like they could get awkward between the Beckham boys’ partners.

Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 30, is known for being an actress and has starred in several movies, including filming a picture alongside 90s icon Mary Stewart Masterston.

It now looks like Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie, 29, also wants a piece of the action.

Brooklyn Beckham could end family feud – but needs ‘public apology’

The talented star is already known for being a music producer and model and now she wants to add another string to her bow.

Jackie revealed in a lengthy video that she wants to make movies, but musical ones.

She opened the post up with saying how this was one of her New Year’s resolutions.

Jackie then said: “I really want to write a musical and I’ve wanted to write a musical for a really long time. I know it sounds lame and I know a lot of musicals are s**t but mine will not be.”

To clarify what type of musical she meant, she wrote over the top of the clip “not Broadway, but movies”.

Continuing, Jackie said: “And I’ve always loved musicals. I want to write. you know something as timeless and iconic as Grease or something you know Disney Pixar vibes.

“I would love that as well. I’m a huge fan of like Rio. The music is just unbelievable. In a dream world.”

Jackie ended the video with: “I think 2026 is the year you make things happen and you expect the unexpected.”

CRUZ SPEAKS OUT

Meanwhile, leading up to Christmas, Jackie’s boyfriend Cruz made several attempts to extend an olive branch to his big brother amid the high profile feud.

One of which was a photo he shared of himself with both of his brothers, Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham, 23.

Across the snap Cruz wrote: “Love you guys.”

However, despite this olive branch, things took a bad turn shortly before Christmas.

It came when Cruz bluntly revealed the Beckhams woke up to being blocked by Brooklyn.

It was initially thought that the Beckham family had “unfollowed” Brooklyn’s account, as The Sun on Sunday reported yesterday.

Cruz soon put things straight.

Pulling no punches, he shared a post which read: “Not true.

“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.

“Let’s get the facts right.

“They woke up blocked  . . .  as did I.”

In a TikTok post after Cruz spoke out, Brooklyn played Lady Gaga’s song Telephone and wrote the lyrics: “Sorry I cannot hear you I’m kinda busy.”

THE BECKHAM FEUD

The Beckham family feud has been rumbling on for most of the year, ever since Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed his dad’s 50th birthday.

The eldest of the Beckham boys is said to have left dad David “heartbroken” after he snubbed his milestone celebrations.

Recently Brooklyn and Nicola both shared photos from their Christmas with her parents, far away from the Beckhams.

Last month, Brooklyn also skipped childhood pal Holly Ramsay’s wedding – despite all of his family being in attendance to see the influencer marry Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty on December 27 at Bath Abbey.

The Beckham Family Feud

• April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
• Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
• Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
• Alleged Wedding “Hijack”: In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria “ruined” part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
• March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a “baby voice” (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
• April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
• May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
• Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
• Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
• June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a “crisis team” similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “reputation management” due to the growing media scrutiny.
• Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
• July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
• Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.

NICOLA Peltz has dealt a snub to the Beckhams amid a fresh love declaration to husband Brooklyn.

It came after the actress and model, who celebrates her 31st birthday on January 9, kick-started the party vibes early.

David and Victoria Beckham‘s eldest son Brooklyn, 26, was absent from all family occasions in 2025 amid their high-profile feud.

Yet he made sure to be by his glam wife’s side as she made the most of her birthday month.

On her Instagram grid, Nicola, 30, posted a snapshot showing her clutching an iced coffee as the pair cuddled up outside.

They were then joined by her brother Bradley for a group snap and the Lola star gushed: “I’m so grateful for my boys”.

Brooklyn Beckham could end family feud – but needs ‘public apology’

On her Stories, the American screen star shared images of her birthday buffet including a stunning pink cake with a ballet dancer topper.

Pink balloons filled the room and Nicola donned a baby pink corset top to match the occasion.

Another white-iced cake was adorned with the words “Happy Birthday Nicola” while she told how she was “lucky” in a separate post.

Bates Motel star Nicola rounded off her uploads with an image showing her kneeling down to celebrate with a relative – a star contrast to Brooklyn who left dad David “heartbroken” after he snubbed his milestone 50th birthday last year.

At the time, it was understood Brooklyn and Nicola instead flew to New York ahead of their Met Gala appearance, an event they previously attended in 2022.

RUMBLING ON

Nicola’s message about feeling “grateful” came just days after former footballer Becks used the word in a tribute to his family to round off 2025.

Yet in Becks’ picture upload, Nicola and Brooklyn were noticeably missing.

He shared a series of highlights from this year -including pictures of his wife Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and him receiving his knighthood.

David also posted snaps of his children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 13, on holiday and enjoying quality time together.

But aspiring chef Brooklyn — who last month blocked his parents on social media — was not pictured in the post.

Brooklyn Beckham’s Legal Clashes

BROOKLYN Beckham is facing his third legal battle over his hot sauce brand. Yet what’s going on?

Earlier this summer, we exclusively reported how Brooklyn, 26, was facing a legal battle from a booze brand.

The Sun first revealed earlier this month how the brand behind Beck’s beer had objected to his plans.

The beer’s German parent firm Brauerei Beck & Co has opposed it and been granted an extension until next month to file documents.

The company is part of alcohol giant AB InBev, which produces one in four lagers sold worldwide, including Stella Artois and Budweiser as well as Beck’s.

He has also ran into issues with his hot sauce firm and various spin offs with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

On the third occasion, it provoked the ire of the trendy trainer firm On Cloud, which has the unique soles with holes and tennis legend Federer has pumped in $50 million of his own cash to become an investor.

David wrote: “I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself ) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner.”

Despite not mentioning Brooklyn by name, David sweetly praised his “kids” and shared his love for them.

He added: “I‘m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all… But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say ‘Onto the the next‘.

“Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025. Victoria I love you & our kids.”

At the same time, Brooklyn and Nicola were seen putting on a united front amid their feud with his family.

FAMILY FEUD

The Beckham family feud has been rumbling on for most of the year, ever since Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed his dad’s 50th birthday.

The couple have also shared subtle digs at his family in recent days after his brother Cruz revealed the Beckhams woke up to being blocked by the couple.

In a TikTok post after Cruz spoke out, Brooklyn played Lady Gaga’s song Telephone and wrote the lyrics: “Sorry I cannot hear you I’m kinda busy.”

Nicola also penned: “I love being home” in a selfie posted to social media, after the couple both shared photos from their Christmas with her parents.

Last month, Brooklyn also skipped childhood pal Holly Ramsay’s wedding – despite all of his family being in attendance to see the influencer marry Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty on December 27 at Bath Abbey.

BROOKLYN Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz has taken to social media to celebrate her family in a new post – just days after her husband’s decision to block his entire family online.

Brooklyn, 26, allegedly made the decision after Victoria Beckham “liked” one of his Instagram posts about cooking a roast chicken, which caused a frenzy in the comments section.

But it appears Nicola has now broken her silence on the matter, sharing a post of her own about family.

The actress, 30, posted a snap of herself and her father beaming, celebrating Hanukah.

Her billionaire dad, Nelson Peltz, is standing behind the candles placed in their menorah.

Captioning the post: “Happy Hanukah from our family to yours,” Nicola appeared to gloss over ongoing tension with her parents-in-law, who she has also blocked online.

GET STUFFED

Reason Brooklyn Beckham blocked family revealed as Cruz blasts brother

Nicola has reportedly blocked the rest of the Beckham clan as well, including Brooklyn’s 14-year-old sister, Harper.

Sources confirmed to The Sun that Nicola stands by Brooklyn’s decision wholeheartedly and as such followed his lead in blocking all of the family too.

One insider said to The Sun: “Brooklyn and Nicola have been and will always be a united front.”

Another source close to the couple says: “She will always back him so that’s why she’s done the same and blocked his family.”

After Victoria “liked” her son’s most recent cooking post, it led to a sea of comments from fans who noticed the potential olive branch, urging Brooklyn to make amends with his family.

It’s understood that this annoyed Brooklyn and created pressure, so he responded by cutting contact with all of the Beckham’s online.

Friends of the influencer have deemed Brooklyn’s family’s behaviour as “unacceptable”.

Meanwhile, a source told the Daily Mail: “David and Victoria will never stop loving Brooklyn.

“They will always be here for him and they always want him to know that, they are devastated at this fall out.

“So far from this being them, it appears that Brooklyn has blocked them to show them that’s it, this is final.

“It is very clear that this is a sign of his complete estrangement from his family.

“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.

“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.”

Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz, 20, refuted reports that his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn in an Instagram story post on Saturday, claiming David and Victoria had been ‘blocked’ by Brooklyn instead.

The feud between Brooklyn and Nicola and the Beckham’s first began in 2022 when there were reports that Nicola had refused to wear a wedding gown designed by Victoria.

Rumblings escalated as rumours began to swirl that Brooklyn had dated Romeo Beckham’s ex Kim Turnbull, despite denying ever getting together.

Increasingly distancing himself from his family, Brooklyn has attended less family gatherings including David’s 50th birthday, mum Victoria’s Netflix docuseries premiere and his dad’s knighthood ceremony.

CRUZ Beckham has claimed estranged brother Brooklyn blocked all of his family on social media – including his parents David and Victoria and his sister Harper.

It comes amid reports the former England footballer, 50, and fashion designer Victoria , 51, unfollowed their eldest son and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, on Instagram.

Cruz, 20, today addressed the unfollowing drama and hit back in a post on his Instagram Story.

He revealed that Brooklyn, 26, removed the entire family – including 14-year-old Harper – from his social media.

The musician confirmed his parents woke up to being banned from seeing Brooklyn’s profile, and said: “My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.

“They woke up blocked. As did I.”

BECKS’ APPEAL

David Beckham sends emotional message to son Brooklyn amid family feud

Brooklyn’s wife Nicola is also not following any of the Beckham family on Instagram – weeks after the couple were absent from David’s long-awaited knighthood celebrations.

Meanwhile David and Victoria were not present for Brooklyn and Nicola’s New York wedding vow renewal in August.  

The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, were last pictured with David and Victoria last Christmas.

Victoria shared a snap on Instagram on Boxing Day alongside David with her three sons, daughter Harper and Nicola.

She wrote: “Being together for the holidays makes me so happy. I love you all so much.”

The Sun told this week how Victoria is determined not to let the fallout with Brooklyn and Nicola ruin their Christmas.

Referring to how close Brooklyn was to  his grandparents, a source told The Sun: “Brooklyn spent so much time with her parents Jackie and Tony for the first few years of his life.

“They had such a special bond, while Sandra (David’s mum) looked after him so much growing up.

“Harper really misses her big brother and Nicola.

“Victoria is hoping that Brooklyn at least calls his grandparents over Christmas.

“She’s given up on him calling her.”

ATTEMPTS TO REACH OUT

Earlier this month David appeared to send an emotional message to Brooklyn amid the extraordinary family feud.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, David, 50 shared a photo of himself, wife Victoria, 51, and children Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14, celebrating his MLS title in Miami.

However, what was poignant in the post was that he also shared a throwback snap of himself with Brooklyn, 25, and his brothers after winning the same cup as a player with LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012.

He captioned the snaps with: “License to cry.”

The sweet post could be seen as David’s olive branch to his son, as we approach Christmas.

TELLING SWIPE

It comes as Victoria recently revealed it takes a lot for her not to get on with another woman.

She said in an interview on Andy Cohen‘s Sirius XM’s radio show: “I’m a girl’s girl. I mean you’ve got to be a real ae for me to not get on with you if you’re a woman.”

The fashion mogul continued: “Because I love, I love women, you know, and that’s part of the reason why I do what I do with fashion and beauty.

“I want to empower women. Yes. And I want to share my tips and tricks with women.”

Things took a turn in the family feud earlier this year when Brooklyn and Nicola organised a wedding vow renewal in the summer but none of the Beckhams were invited to the lavish ceremony.

In fact David and Victoria only found out about it on a US website.

A source told us at the time: “This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.”

IF the Beckhams expected a heartwarming reunion with their oldest son for Christmas, they could be disappointed.

Recent efforts to reach out to estranged Brooklyn — who has been missing from all the family’s milestones this year — appear to have been met with a frosty reception.

It is fast approaching 12 months since the rift began, but David and Victoria remain optimistic that their icy relationship might still thaw.

The couple had plenty to celebrate in 2025, including David’s long-awaited knighthood and 50th birthday, and Victoria’s Netflix documentary and booming fashion and beauty brand.

However, 26-year-old Brooklyn was absent from them all. In fact, he has not been pictured with his family since Christmas last year.

This week, his brother Cruz, 20, tried to bridge the divide by sharing throwback snaps on Instagram. One showed Brooklyn with an arm around his youngest sibling on a beach in Brazil when they were little.

And last month, their grandmother Jackie left a sweet comment with a heart emoji under one of Brooklyn’s social media posts.

Overnight, David also shared an old snap of him winning the MLS Cup when he played for LA Galaxy.

But so far, Brooklyn has failed to respond. And his most recent online post made no mention of the rest of the Beckham clan.

He was the only member of the family not celebrating last week when David lifted the MLS Cup again — this time as co-owner of Inter Miami.

If the chance to hang out with the squad’s superstar striker Lionel Messi did not tempt him to turn up, few things will.

David and Victoria are not giving up on reconciling with Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, a Beckham insider tells us Victoria, who is also mum to Harper, 14, and Romeo, 23, is still struggling to make sense of the fallout.

But ever the showwoman, she is focusing on keeping things merry and bright for the rest of the clan.

We are told: “Victoria is determined not to let the argument with Brooklyn ruin Christmas, even though she is absolutely heartbroken by it.

“It’s been a year since they last all saw each other and it’s something she will never come to terms with.

“But she won’t let it get her down over the festive period as she needs to be strong, especially for Harper, as well as her parents and David’s parents.

“They have done nothing in all of this, but it seems like they’re the ones being punished the most.”

Last month, Victoria shared a photo of her mum Jackie’s fireplace adorned with stockings. Each bore the name of one of her grandchildren — including Brooklyn, who has reportedly cut his grandparents out of his life, too.

Insider

Days later, David’s mum Sandra left a comment under a festive social media post Brooklyn had shared. In it, he was seen wrapping up a bottle of his own hot sauce brand, Cloud23, to which Sandra replied, “That for me” alongside a heart emoji.

Her question went unanswered, but followers flocked to the comment section begging Brooklyn to reach out to his family before it’s too late.

One raged: “Go and see your parents . . . you only get one set and that’s it,” while another simply said, “Ring your mother!”

Victoria may be famous for not smiling, but now, in a bid to keep the family’s spirits up, she’s plastering on a big one.

Our source said: “Brooklyn spent so much time with her parents Jackie and Tony for the first few years of his life and they had such a special bond, while Sandra looked after him so much growing up. It’s awful they no longer have that close relationship.

“Harper really misses her big brother and Nicola. Victoria is hoping that Brooklyn at least calls his grandparents over Christmas. She’s given up on him calling her.”

We are told that, as usual, the family will spend Christmas Day surrounded by loved ones at their £12million Cotswolds pile.

“They feel it’s a case of the more, the merrier, as it’s then less obvious that Brooklyn isn’t there,” our source revealed.

It’s safe to say that no one could have predicted how bitter things would get this time last year. Granted, there had been simmering tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his family since their wedding in 2022.

At the time, there was confusion over Nicola’s decision to wear a Valentino gown instead of one designed by her mother-in-law. It was later claimed Victoria offered to dress her son’s bride, then backed out.

Deafeningly silent

Nicola was also apparently devastated at the reception when the Beckhams’ pal, singer Marc Anthony, referred to Victoria as “the beautiful woman in the room”.

Despite the rumoured tension that followed, Nicola and Brooklyn continued to represent the family brand for a while. But that support is gone.

In May, Brooklyn and Nicola — who live in a $16million Los Angeles mansion — failed to attend David’s birthday celebrations or even acknowledge his 50th online.

Insider

Brooklyn also did not wish his mum a happy birthday a month earlier, but posted gushing tributes to Nicola, including the pointed comment: “I always choose you, baby.”

Likewise, he stayed deafeningly silent when David was finally awarded his knighthood in June, and snubbed November’s investiture.

Brooklyn also failed to give a nod to Victoria’s Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham, which came out in October. That month, she debuted her spring 2026 collection at Paris Fashion Week, again without her eldest son’s backing.

But by all accounts, Brooklyn’s biggest two-fingered salute to his parents had to be his very lavish, very loud, vows renewal in August.

According to insiders, he did not even tell them about the event, which was held at his in-laws’ mega-mansion in New York.

Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson Peltz presided over it, and the bride wore her mother Claudia’s wedding dress. The message was clear: They’ve officially jumped off the Beckham bandwagon.

To that end, there have even been whispers in recent weeks that Brooklyn and Nicola — who both go by double-barrelled Peltz-Beckham — are planning to drop the Beckham from their surname.

Nepo baby Brooklyn has long capitalised from his famous family name — and Nicola, who was not that well known before marrying him, has benefitted from it, too.

They don’t need the Beckham name any more and they would like any future babies to be Peltzes

Insider

Her family’s wealth, estimated at $1.7billion, may eclipse the Beckhams’ £500million fortune, but her in-laws’ social cache in showbiz circles has opened myriad doors to the aspiring actress and model.

But now it is feared they are determined to cut ties for good.

‘Ultimate insult’

An insider told Heat magazine: “They both feel their double-barrelled name is associated with the feud and they want to move on.

“They don’t need the Beckham name any more and they would like any future babies to be Peltzes.

“Obviously, it would be the ultimate insult to David and Victoria — they’ve spent nearly 30 years building up Brand Beckham and, if Brooklyn dropped the family name, there would be no going back.

“It feels like he’d be making their current estrangement permanent.”

Ironically, despite the documentary, plus TV and podcast chats, showing Victoria’s more authentic side, she is having to stay tight-lipped about her personal anguish.

However, amid the turmoil, she has been wowing the US, popping up on late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live and featuring on podcast Call Her Daddy.

The Beckhams famously lived in LA when David played football there but, while well received by the celebrity jet-set, they never fully found their footing, with Victoria still carrying the mantle of a WAG.

Now, though, the US is taking her seriously as a fashion designer, beauty impresario and a pop icon with a wicked sense of humour, which she would no doubt love to celebrate with her whole family.

After Christmas, we are told the Beckhams will head to Bath for Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty’s wedding on the 27th.

They are long-time pals with the bride’s family — Gordon Ramsay, and his wife Tana, plus their six children. But while the Ramsays were all there to see Brooklyn and Nicola say “I do”, it’s unlikely they’ll return the favour.

The fact Olympian Adam’s mum Caroline is banned from the nuptials amid a fallout will no doubt resonate with David and Victoria.

Still, some Beckham fans reckon there is still hope of a reconciliation. Firstly, Brooklyn’s stocking on his grandma’s fireplace proves that he will always have a place in the family.

Then, Cruz’s memories of the siblings as kids may hint he is mellowing after backing his parents and, along with brother Romeo, unfollowing Brooklyn on Instagram.

He has also lashed out at whispers the row erupted as Romeo was dating Brooklyn’s ex, Kim Turnbull — rumours she strongly denied.

Still, the question remains: Will Brooklyn take his cue and bury the hatchet for good? All signs so far point to a stubbornness that’s set to continue into the new year.

Brooklyn has made it clear that Nicola is his priority and, with her also showing little interest in a reconciliation, Victoria knows rooting for a reunion could be futile.

Then again, there’s always hope of a Christmas miracle.
