There appears to be a major fallout within the Beckham family, with eldest son Brooklyn becoming estranged from his wider family over the past few months.
Thinly veiled posts have seemingly come from Brooklyn, and this week, the star’s younger brother, Cruz, seemingly waded into the row with a cryptic post. The 20-year-old shared a post to his Instagram Stories that read: “It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown and 17 to smile.”
It then concluded: “Be kind and tell the truth.” Cruz added several pointing hand emojis, indicating the phrase’s importance in his post.

This isn’t the first time that Cruz has weighed in amid reports of a wider family feud. Initial reports seemed to indicate that Brooklyn and Romeo had the fallout owing to Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull.

Family feud
More recently, sources have indicated that the feud was sparked due to Brooklyn’s marriage to Nicola Peltz.
Rumours were sparked following the pair’s absences from family events, including Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and both of his parents’ birthdays.

“Tensions rose at their wedding and that situation has continued; Victoria and Nicola don’t really get along. Over the past few months, Nicola has been causing things to fester and everyone to fall out.”

“My whole world, I will love you forever, I always choose you baby, you’re the most amazing person I know, me and you forever baby,” Brooklyn wrote with fans particularly paying attention to his insistence that he will always “choose” his wife.
