Social Media Posts Put Spotlight Back on Beckham Family Dispute

England, Jan 23 : A single tap on Instagram has once again drawn public attention to the long rumoured strain within the Beckham family. Cruz Beckham, the 20 year old son of football icon David Beckham and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, has set off online chatter after engaging with a satirical post referencing his brother Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding.

Cruz was seen liking an Instagram Reel created by comedian Olly Hume, which humorously revisits an uncomfortable moment alleged to have occurred during Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding celebrations in 2022. Though Cruz offered no comment, the interaction alone was enough to fuel speculation.

The parody that sparked the buzz
The short video features Hume reenacting a wedding DJ announcement before unexpectedly playing Ginuwine’s “Pony” a song widely associated with provocative performances. The skit appears to mock claims surrounding the first dance at Brooklyn and Nicola’s Palm Beach wedding.

The Reel was captioned with a tongue in cheek remark aimed at Victoria Beckham, along with hashtags tied to the high profile ceremony. Cruz’s visible engagement with the post quickly caught the attention of followers.

Online reaction divides fans
Social media users were quick to notice Cruz’s interaction, with screenshots and comments spreading rapidly across platforms. While some interpreted the move as subtle support for Brooklyn and Nicola, others viewed it as harmless humour rather than a sign of deeper discord.

The reaction has further intensified debate over whether the Beckham family rift is ongoing or being exaggerated by online audiences.

Background to the wedding controversy
The parody references recent comments made by Brooklyn Beckham about his relationship with his parents. In a public post, Brooklyn alleged that a key moment at his wedding reception did not unfold as planned.

According to Brooklyn, what was intended to be a choreographed first dance with Nicola Peltz was disrupted when he was called to the stage unexpectedly. He claimed the moment resulted in an unplanned dance with his mother in front of hundreds of guests, which he later described as deeply uncomfortable.

Vow renewal to move forward
Brooklyn also shared that he and Nicola chose to renew their wedding vows in August 2025, saying the decision was made to replace difficult memories with more positive ones.

The couple said the private ceremony allowed them to reconnect with the meaning of their marriage without the emotional weight associated with their original celebration.

As online scrutiny continues, Cruz Beckham’s brief Instagram activity has added a new layer to a family story that remains firmly in the public eye.
