Beckham Family Drama Unfolds: Cruz and Jackie on Luxury Yacht as Brooklyn Feuds From Far

Victoria Beckham, 51, looked thrilled to welcome her beloved son Cruz, 20, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, onboard her and David's £16million yacht in St Tropez on Monday

BECKHAM DYNASTY IN TURMOIL: Victoria and David's £16M Yacht Party Sparks Family Feud Drama

The glamorous world of the Beckhams is in shambles as a family feud reaches new heights, with insiders revealing that eldest son Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents. The drama unfolded on Monday when Victoria Beckham welcomed her beloved son Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel onboard their £16million yacht in St Tropez, leaving out Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.

The Beckhams' luxury vessel, which dwarfs Brooklyn's own £85million yacht, has become the epicenter of the family drama. Sources close to the family have revealed that David Beckham has been "treated himself" to the new boat after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish.

But it seems like the Beckhams' £16million vessel isn't just a luxury getaway – it's also a battleground for their family feud. Cruz, 20, joined his parents mid-trip following a romantic break with Jackie, 30, elsewhere. The Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria and her husband Jose Baston were also spotted on the yacht, with Eva looking radiant in a high-leg white swimsuit.

Victoria Beckham, resplendent in a black lace dress and large sun hat, was seen chatting to Cruz and sharing a sweet embrace with him while he enjoyed a dip in the ocean with his father. But despite the family's best efforts to put on a united front, insiders reveal that Brooklyn has become increasingly isolated from his parents.

The Ongoing Feud

The feud between Brooklyn and his famous parents began in May when Brooklyn failed to attend David's 50th birthday celebrations. Sources close to the family have revealed that Brooklyn has been "estranged" from his parents for several months, with one insider describing their relationship as "distant".

The tension between Brooklyn and his parents escalated further after it emerged that he and Nicola had not visited Harper on her 14th birthday in July. Despite Brooklyn posting a birthday tribute to Harper, sources close to the family revealed that he had not even bothered to message her privately or publicly.

Nicola Peltz: The Cause of the Family Feud?

Insiders have pointed to Nicola Peltz as the cause of the family feud, with one source claiming that she has been "pushing Brooklyn away from his parents". The couple's Instagram accounts no longer follow Victoria and David's children, Cruz and Romeo, which some insiders claim is a sign of their growing estrangement.

However, friends close to Brooklyn have revealed that it was actually Cruz and Romeo who blocked Brooklyn and Nicola on the social media platform. This would suggest that the family feud is more complex than initially thought, with multiple parties involved in the drama.

A Honeymoon Stage?

Brooklyn has attempted to downplay the family feud by suggesting that he and Nicola are still in the "honeymoon stage" of their marriage. The couple, who wed in 2023, have been open about their disagreements on social media, with Brooklyn joking that they only argue over the thermostat.

However, sources close to the family have revealed that the tension between Brooklyn and his parents is more serious than a mere disagreement over temperature settings. Insiders claim that Brooklyn has become increasingly isolated from his family, with one source describing him as "distant" and "estranged".

Victoria's Rare Glimpse into Her Feelings

Meanwhile, Brooklyn has been flexing the Peltz's wealth during a St Tropez getaway with his in-laws on a £85million vessel - dwarfing his family's current getaway in the same location

In a rare insight into her feelings about the family feud, Victoria Beckham has been spotted "liking" several of Brooklyn's social media posts that don't feature Nicola. The former Spice Girl's move suggests that she is still keeping tabs on her eldest son's moves, despite their growing estrangement.

However, it seems like Victoria has drawn a clear line with Nicola Peltz, failing to acknowledge any of her social media posts or likes in the same time period. This would suggest that Victoria is taking a firm stance against Brooklyn's wife, who some insiders claim is the cause of the family feud.

The Beckham family drama shows no signs of slowing down, with multiple parties involved in the complex web of relationships. As the Beckhams continue to navigate their personal lives, one thing is clear – the family feud has only just begun.

The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022

The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea
