Cruz Beckham has stirred speculation about growing discord within the Beckham family after posting a cryptic message on Instagram Stories on Thursday, May 29.
The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a close-up image of his hair along with the quote, "It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth," punctuated by a series of pointing emojis. The post was later deleted.
According to Daily Mail, the message came in the wake of ongoing reports of tension involving his parents, brother Brooklyn Beckham, and sister-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham.
As per the sources cited by People, friction may have escalated after a 2022 wedding incident where Victoria allegedly overshadowed Nicola during a planned couple’s dance by being unexpectedly invited onstage by singer Marc Anthony.
Moreover, guests were reportedly stunned when Anthony referred to Victoria as “the most beautiful woman in the room,” prompting speculation that Nicola felt sidelined on her wedding day.
Although Cruz later posted a family photo and praised his parents on Instagram, the family’s unity has been called into question.
Additionally, Brooklyn recently shared a post declaring he would “always choose” Nicola, adding to speculation.
Furthermore, sources claim Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence from David Beckham’s recent 50th birthday celebration deepened concerns.
