David and Victoria Beckham appear to no longer follow son Brooklyn on Instagram, but it’s not as it seems.
After reports the couple unfollowed their eldest child on the platform, their youngest son, Cruz, has come out to defend his parents, saying that he and his parents were unfollowed byBrooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, amid their ongoing family feud.
“Not true,” Cruz, 20, clarified on Instagram Stories with a screenshot of a Daily Mail article claiming his parents had unfollowed Brooklyn.
“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son … Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked … as did I.”
It comes after Romeo and Cruz unfollowed their brother and his actress wife on the app in July.
The latest development is the most public sign to date that the ex-England footballer and his wife are not in direct contact with their eldest son or Nicola, as the Beckham family prepare to spend their first Christmas without him.

Nicola, 30, has hinted that she and Brooklyn, 26, will spend Christmas Day with her family this year, snubbing the Beckhams’ celebrations.
She shared a snap on Friday showing Brooklyn and her brother, Bradley Peltz, at her family’s £76 million ($176m) mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David’s long-awaited knighthood and 50th birthday do this year.
Meanwhile, David and Victoria, 51, missed their son and Nicola renewing their vows in New York in August.

The couple, who wed in 2022, were last pictured with Brooklyn’s parents on Boxing Day last year when fashion designer Victoria put a snap on Instagram of David with their three sons, daughter Harper, now 14, and Nicola.
She wrote: “Being together for the holidays makes me so happy.”
The Sun reported last week how Victoria has “given up” on Brooklyn contacting her this Christmas but wants him to remember his grandparents, Jackie and Tony – her mum and dad.
A source said: “They had such a special bond. Victoria hopes Brooklyn at least calls them over Christmas.”
