Why Exactly Cruz & Romeo Beckham Allegedly Blocked Brooklyn & Nicola Peltz-Beckham
The Beckham family’s group chat (assuming it still exists) is probably a ghost town at this point. And if you’ve been wondering why Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham no longer follow Cruz and Romeo on Instagram, it’s not because they hit “unfollow.” According to friends of the couple, they got blocked.
The drama apparently kicked off after Brooklyn posted a birthday tribute to his little sister Harper on Thursday, sharing a sweet family snapshot from last fall’s Paris Fashion Week. Nicola, of course, reposted. But the post didn’t include Cruz or Romeo — or a mention of them — which reportedly pushed both brothers to take the nuclear route and block Brooklyn and Nicola entirely, per Daily Mail. And listen, you don’t block someone unless you want them to know they’ve been blocked.
It’s not the first public crack in the family veneer. Cruz has been posting cryptic quotes and song lyrics since June, and Romeo’s been throwing his own digital shade with vaguely pointed messages about “appreciating people that love you.” Then there’s the whole Kim Turnbull situation — Romeo’s now-ex-girlfriend, who Nicola allegedly felt uneasy around, partly because she once dated Brooklyn as a teen. Kim denied everything in June and said she was tired of being dragged into it.
And while Brooklyn did eventually post a sweet message for Harper’s birthday, reports say he and Nicola skipped seeing her during a May trip to London, despite the fact they were filming a Moncler campaign just a mile from the Beckham family home. Victoria and David, reportedly, weren’t thrilled.
The tension’s been quietly building for months, thanks to missed birthdays, snubbed family events, and seemingly performative tribute posts, like Nicola’s beachside Instagram nod to David’s iconic football shorts.
Whatever the reason behind the apparent block, here’s hoping the Beckham brothers can figure it out. There are only so many siblings to go around — and fewer still who’ll let you get away with tagging them in Paris Fashion Week photos.
