Cruz Beckham’s Subtle Response to Family Drama
Cruz Beckham, the 20-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, has chimed in on the ongoing family drama, albeit quietly. His older brother, Brooklyn, stirred controversy with some harsh remarks about their parents recently. Cruz has been somewhat active on social media since Brooklyn’s tirade on Monday, though he’s primarily promoting a concert in the UK, not directly addressing Brooklyn’s comments.
In an Instagram Stories post on Wednesday, Cruz expressed gratitude to fans for the success of his sold-out show and hinted that more dates might be upcoming. He chose to accompany this with the Spice Girls’ song “Who Do You Think You Are?”—a song that touches on themes of fame and self-identity.
The lyrics resonate particularly well, capturing a sense of ambition and questioning one’s identity: “The race to get out of the abyss is on / The top is so high that the roots are forgotten…” Although Cruz didn’t explicitly criticize Brooklyn, his song choice could imply where his allegiances lie.
In addition, Cruz liked a parody video that mocked Brooklyn’s assertion that their mother, Victoria, danced inappropriately at Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola Peltz. The skit poked fun at the situation and featured a DJ announcing a song choice that was less than romantic.
The parody drew mixed reactions, with some users praising Cruz for his good-natured response amid the tension. Meanwhile, Brooklyn released a lengthy Instagram post addressing his strained relationship with his parents, declaring that he felt compelled to speak out due to continual media portrayals of their family dynamics.
Brooklyn claimed that their issues began long before his wedding to Peltz, alleging that his parents attempted to undermine their relationship. He recounted a particularly uncomfortable moment during the wedding when his mother “hijacked” his first dance.
Responding to his son’s public comments, David Beckham addressed the situation on a CNBC program. He openly discussed the ups and downs of social media, mentioning that while it can be a double-edged sword, it also provides valuable opportunities for awareness and engagement regarding social issues. He emphasized the importance of letting kids, including his own, learn from their mistakes.
