Cruz Beckham's Sweet Instagram Post Highlights Love Amidst Family Feud
BECKHAM BROTHERHOOD SHATTERED: Cruz and Brooklyn's Family Rift Worsens as Elton John Attempts to Mediate
The Beckham family is on the brink of a full-blown meltdown, with sources close to the family revealing that Cruz Beckham, 20, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, are trying to navigate their own relationship drama amidst the chaos. Meanwhile, Cruz's brother Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, continue to feud with their in-laws Victoria and David Beckham over a series of perceived slights.
The trouble began when Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend any of David's 50th birthday celebrations in May, including a family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home, an idyllic trip to France, and a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core. Victoria and David were reportedly "hurt" by their eldest son's absence, leading to a widening rift between the two families.
But Brooklyn isn't backing down. In a cheeky post on Instagram, he wished his grandfather Ted Beckham a happy 77th birthday with a photo of himself embracing Nelson Peltz, Nicola's billionaire father. The caption read: "Happy birthday grandad. I love you xx."
However, Victoria made it clear that she was still hurting from Brooklyn's snub by sharing a family photo on her own Instagram account that didn't include him or his wife. She wrote: "Happy birthday @tedbeckham kisses" and tagged her other children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, and Harper, 14.
But the drama doesn't end there. Sources close to the family reveal that Elton John has been trying to mediate between Brooklyn and his parents in a desperate bid to calm tensions. The music legend, who has known David and Victoria for over 30 years, recently treated Brooklyn and Nicola to lunch at La Guerite beach club in the South of France.
According to sources, Elton spoke briefly about the family feud with the couple, urging them to patch things up with their parents. "Elton just wants everyone to be happy," a source revealed. "He's been friends with David and Victoria for decades, and he knows how much this is hurting them. He's trying to do his best as a spiritual adviser to Brooklyn."
But it seems like Brooklyn and Nicola are not ready to forgive just yet. They've been spotted enjoying a lavish holiday in St Tropez, where they enjoyed a friendly beer with Nelson Peltz and packed on the PDA onboard his superyacht.
As for Cruz, he's trying to keep his relationship drama under wraps by sharing sweet snaps of himself and girlfriend Jackie Apostel on Instagram. The couple has been enjoying a break in Miami, where they've been spotted together several times.
In one photo, Cruz posted a mirror selfie with Jackie layered over his body while standing next to a scooter. He captioned the post: "Wot." But it seems like Jackie is not impressed with her boyfriend's sense of humor, responding with a cheeky comment about the last slide in the post.
Cruz then shared another snap of himself wearing the same summer pink buttoned shirt and black trousers as he stood next to a red flashy scooter. He paired the photo with a series of hashtags, including #scooterlove and #miamivibes.
But despite his attempts to distract from the family drama, Cruz's brother Brooklyn continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. And it seems like things are only going to get worse before they get better.
As one source close to the family revealed: "Elton is adamant that he doesn't want to stick his nose in this feud. He just wants peace and is trying to do what's best for everyone involved." But with tensions running high, it remains to be seen whether Elton's efforts will be enough to bring the Beckham family back together.
