A Family Divided: The Latest Instagram Un-following of Beckham family members
In the latest social media age, an un-follow is an rarely found incident in celebrities, it is a calculated decision. The escalation didn’t stop the celebrity parents. As recent checks of the platform reveal a total collapse of digital communication within the family.
Sibling Silence: Brooklyn, 26, has ceased following his younger brothers, Romeo (23) and Cruz (20). In a shocking manner, neither younger brother follows Brooklyn again.
The In-Law’s at Cold War: David and Victoria have also cut ties with Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. The actress, 30, has subsequently cleared her following list of the retired soccer icon and the fashion mogul.
The Exception for social media in Beckham Family: David and Victoria continue to follow their younger sons, while their youngest, Harper (14), remains off the platform, shielded from the digital life.
The Origin Story: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
While the unfollowing has shocked the public, insiders suggest that the tension has been cooking since Brooklyn and Nicola’s high-profile wedding in Palm Beach in April 20223. What was meant to be a merger of two powerful families, the Beckhams and the billionaire Peltz clan, this instance became the breeding ground for disagreement.
The most talked rumor involves the Wedding Dress War. Despite Victoria being a world-renowned designer, Nicola walked down the aisle in a custom Valentino gown. While Nicola later claimed the scheduling didn’t work for Victoria’s atelier to handle the job, sources close to the family insist the slight was felt deeply by Victoria.
The drama reportedly escalated during the reception when Victoria allegedly hijacked a mother-son dance performance. Sources claim the moment was originally intended for the newly weds, but Victoria took the floor for a dance with Brooklyn to a song performed by Marc Anthony, leaving the bride feeling sidelined from her own celebration.
2025: The Year the Feud Turned Cold
The fight grew noticeably wider throughout 2025. A definitive turning point occurred in May, during David Beckham’s 50th birthday gala in London. It was a star-studded celebration attended by the Spice Girls and Hollywood celebrities, yet Brooklyn and Nicola were found absent from this family event which was strange.
While the couple claimed a prior commitment, the absence spoke loudly from important family event. The tension spilled into public view via caption wars. When Brooklyn posted a video of himself and Nicola with the pointed caption that he would always choose her, Cruz Beckham responded hours later with a family photo praising his parents for caring for the siblings no matter what.
Is There a Path to FAMILY’s Reconciliation?
For Brooklyn, the eldest of the four children, the position is critical. Insiders describe him as feeling disturbed between the life he is building with Nicola and the family legacy he was born into. Sources close to David suggest the former England captain is hurt and disappointed by his son’s absence from family life and regular events, noting that their relationship has often felt more like business than a father-son bond in recent years.
Despite the digital distancing, those close to the family maintain that the relationship is not beyond repair. The Beckhams have a long history of protecting their own, and insiders suggest that David and Victoria’s tough love approach via social media is a reflection of their frustration rather than a permanent exit. The public is left to wonder, that if the family can reconcile before the next major milestone. In the world of high-stakes celebrity branding, an un-follow is a PR nightmare, but for the Beckhams, it is a heartbreaking reality of a family in crisis.
