Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are no longer following his younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, on Instagram, fuelling speculation of an ongoing rift within the Beckham family. The development comes shortly after Brooklyn, 26, publicly wished his younger sister Harper a happy 14th birthday – his first social media interaction with his family in months. While the birthday post appeared to hint at reconciliation, the unfollowing suggests continued tensions.

It has been confirmed that Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, no longer follow Brooklyn either, although Cruz still follows Nicola, 30. A source close to the couple told The Standard that Brooklyn believes he was likely blocked by his brothers. Despite this, Brooklyn continues to follow his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, on Instagram. Tensions reportedly escalated after allegations emerged involving Romeo’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull, who Brooklyn was rumoured to have dated in the past – a claim both Kim and Cruz have publicly denied.
Kim Turnbull, a DJ and model, recently addressed the rumours in a statement, clarifying that her connection with Brooklyn never extended beyond a school friendship. “I’ve never been romantically involved in any capacity at any point with the person in question,” she wrote, citing the need to clear her name amid growing public speculation. Her comments were intended to dispel false narratives and bring an end to the online harassment she has experienced.

Brooklyn and Nicola, who now live in Los Angeles, have notably been absent from several key family events this year, including Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday in April and David’s 50th birthday celebrations. Brooklyn’s declaration of loyalty to Nicola in June, stating “I always choose you,” further fuelled rumours of distance from his family. However, his recent birthday post for Harper may mark a small step towards reconciliation, even if the broader family dynamic remains strained.
