Cruz Beckham has shared a poignant childhood photo on social media – his first public acknowledgement of his brother Brooklyn since the family fallout.
The youngest of the Beckham brothers, Cruz, 20, posted the images to Instagram today which some fans have interpreted as an olive branch to Brooklyn whocut himself off from the family via an explosive social media rant last month, the Independent reported.

The post is accompanied by the Billy Joel song The River of Dreams, which includes the lyrics “something sacred I lost“.
“I’ve been searching for something, taken out of my soul,” the lyrics read.
“Something I’d never lose, something somebody stole. I hope it doesn’t take the rest of my life, until I find what it is that I’ve been looking for ...”
“I do not want to reconcile with my family,” the 26-year-old said, alleging his brothers were “sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere”.
Brooklyn said he suffered “overwhelming anxiety” at the hands of his parents who prioritised “public promotion and endorsements above all else”.
“Brand Beckham comes first,” he wrote, adding “family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp”.
Captioned “Imagine hating and we’re just here like”, the clip which has since been deleted, showed Cruz, Romeo and their partners miming to an audio clip of a wah-wah sound effect.
Cruz announced his first tour with his band The Breakers on social media last month.
